Not Another Sox Podcast

The Red Sox blew it. They blew it, plain and simple. You think the Yankees are a good enough team to win on their own? Look at how the Blue Jays series has been going for them. Another year of being doomed to hate-watch. Crochet fought for it. So did Story, Chapman, Yoshida, Eaton, Sogard. You know, the usual suspects. Jack Webster will be hitching his wagon to the Seattle Mariners, he wants to se...

It's the playoffs. The air is different, the strategy is different, but our hope for the results against the Yankees is the same. Game one of the wild card series takes place in New York at the new, improperly built, Yankee Stadium. Did you know at the time of building the new stadium, the rules were that all outfield walls had to be a minimum of 325 feet? And the Yankees just ignored that? As it...

WARNING: VOLUME. The Red Sox, for the first time since 2021, have clinched a playoff spot. Hear our live reactions from the bottom of the 9th. Ceddanne Rafaela loves the big moment, and boy does he ever. A centerfielder with a feel for the moment. The "clutch" gene, in medical terms. Dare I say, this team's got guts. On to October.

'twas the night before Clinchmas and all through the house, the NASP boys were livestreaming the Red Sox vs Blue Jays - man or a mouse. Please note, we are not retransmitting or disseminating.

Six to go. Playoff odds are over 90%. We are waiting, observing, nooticing. Ian is back from Italy after a less than stellar week of baseball. The As, the Rays, the Red Sox grounding into double plays. You gotta wonder if we have it, especially getting ready to face the Blue Jays and the Tigers. We asked for meaningful September baseball, and the monkey paw curls. Hopefully we'll see you in Octobe...

No Ian this week, but Jack brings in Will and Steve from Yankees files over a cross over episode! The weekend might have not gone the Red Sox way, but they still won the season series. We go over a wide range of topics about each team including the MVP race, wild card matchups, hall of fame discussion and more!

Welcome back to another episode of NASP! It was a weird week of baseball with lots of inquires, but we somehow went 3-3. The playoff stretch is in full force and we are just begging the Red Sox to not blow this the last few weeks of the season. Losing Roman Anthony really sucks and you could instantly tell the difference between him on the team vs off. Plus a fun little game of who you would make...

This was a fun week in Red Sox baseball. All good things, all good things. Except Jordan Hicks and losing to the Pirates. Payton Tolle has arrived. He's a shover. 8ks in 5.1IP is as much as you could ask for. I'm glad the developers took their time with this one. Jack admits to having the tingles. He thinks this is a special team. It might be love. Are we, pause for effect, playoff bound? Linktree...

Nothing tastes worse than Orioles losses. Nothing tastes better than Yankee tears. 27 rings can't stand up to the awesome might of a dozen semi-drunk, bearded, Irish baseball fans. First, stop leaving the bases loaded against the Orioles. Stop it. Stop leaving the bases loaded in general, really. You're the Red Sox. Start acting like it. Anyway, the Twitter gang took New York City. We were in pers...

The Red Sox have a lot of promising up-and-comers. What does it look like when a prospect transverses the gap to the major leagues? Hunter Noll has a lot to say about who we should be looking at in the coming years. This week in Red Sox baseball was lackluster. Crochet got knocked around for the first time in his Red Sox tenure. We lost a game to the Marlins in embarrassing fashion. Truthfully, do...

We wanted four wins, we got three. Mid. Average. Pedestrian. The Royals? A cake walk. Garrett Crochet? Good. Dustin May? New. Jordan Hicks? Come on. We knew we had to beat the Royals, you just needed to keep the lid on Booby Witt and the Pasquatch. We aren't quite sure why they bought at the deadline, but hey, not our ball club. Then, the Padres. Almost embarrassing. Plenty of classic Red Sox mist...

As of today, August 6, in the year of our Lord 2025, Roman Anthony has been extended to an 8-year, $130MM contract. It could go up to $230MM if he wins MVP every year between now and 2034 which, honestly, he might.

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie. But somebody had to land the plane. Remember when there was that rain delay and we all went to bed and woke up with an L from the Twins? Well Twin city showers bring 5-win flowers! After Jordan Hicks returned to his slumber after the rain delay, the Red Sox spent the week winning baseball games. After beating the Twins, nothing happened in between. Not...

The 2025 Red Sox Trade Deadline is like in Friends when Ross goes to get Rachel off the plane but in this version Rachel already got on the plane and left. We are joined by WEEI host Joe Weil. Joe provides a lot of perspective on today's events or lack thereof. Somehow we are all in agreement that this is still a competitive team. That being said, the fanbase is deflated. This is not the "dec...

Coming out of the All-Star break, this team is 4-5. There might be more life than we gave them credit for. That Phillies series was rough. When was the last time you saw a walk off catcher's interference? Statistically, not in our lifetime. Ian misses Kyle Scwharber, the one that got away. Imagine what life would be like if we got 50 bonks out of Kyle Schwarber in Boston every year. It would be ma...

We've seen this team before. Many, many, many times before. To think the team is about to face the hardest part of the schedule after the All-Star break interrupts their 10-game win streak momentum seems a lot like in Disney's The Emperor's New Groove when Emperor Kuzco shouts " You threw off my groove! " The only thing this team has left to do is re-ignite it's fight. Does trade acquisi...

For the first time since the dawn of 2018, the Red Sox have won 10 baseball games in a row. It almost feels like a fever dream. Two complete games - both attended by Winning Webster and Good Luck Liam. Heroics early game, mid-game, late game. Calls from Dave O'Brien that shake the room. This team stares down the barrel of the All-Star break. The fans feel hungry for more as Greg Weissert gets enou...

We like to think the Reds series was promising. We describe it in this episode as eating something delicious followed by eating something terrible, in so many words. We like to think the Nationals series was awesome. Stop using Greg Weissert, you animals. The hosts went on excursions this week. Jack made a pilgrimage to Worcester to see everyone's darling boy Masataka Yoshida rehab. Ian went to Fe...

How long have you been waiting for the NASP boys to do an episode at Chili's? Well, wait no longer! Come talk with us about baseball over some triple dippers. They even sang the birthday song, what a treat! Not to us, to someone else. Maybe next time. The Buehler problem, the Wong problem, the Red Sox problem - all solved with a Nashville Hot Mozzarella cheese pull. Inconsistent bats? Nothing that...

What a weird, exhausting week of .500 baseball. 2/3 against the Mariners, 1/3 against the Giants. Do you think it's an FSG media trick to get more ratings that they keep this team just interesting enough to have us watching but just bad enough to not play good? IDK just a thought. We saw our old girlfriend (Rafael Devers) on a date with another woman (The San Francisco Giants). She (our old girlfr...

Oops all punt years! "We traded Devers based on our team alignment. His visions and views did not align with the team. We are building an in-office culture. This was a baseball trade." Huge LOAD! Rubbish, trash, garbage, gruel, gunk. Call this year a big f'ing kablooey. You traded Rafael Devers and what did you get back for it? Did you even think about your actions, SAM? CRAIG? Put this...

You did it - you son of a nutcracker you did it! Ladies, gentlemen, co, we have Roman Anthony! The kid gets to develop at the major league level and the big three are reunited. We discuss the furious Angels series and the quite enjoyable Yankees series. Did you guys see Carlos Rodon? Booty cheeks, right? Unfortunately we will forever hear about the Ceddanne short porch home run, but we just want t...

Have you, great fan of Red Sox nation, ever heard the phrase "It's over, we're back..."? You have?? Why is that? Swept by the Brewers, big woof. Short-rallied once, and walked off twice. Definitively, it's over. Hendriks to the IL. This is the "it's over" part. But then - won the Braves series! The Braves are a way better team than the Brewers. Big show ups from Trevor Story an...

Sorry, we get a little angy in this episode. Red Sox fans understand. Ever been so mid you split a series with the Baltimore Orioles? I, personally, would never. Those chuckle-ducks in Boston seem to have a different idea. If I have to watch another year of this clown team I am going to get into my little clown car and drive myself over to clown town to check myself in to the clown hospital to get...

Bring in the closer, it's time for us to go home. Hopefully you enjoyed this three part mini-series from Campanelli Stadium. We enjoyed the Rox, and we certainly did NOT enjoy the Red Sox game. There's an interview in this episode with Caitlin, the assistant general manager for the Brockton Rox. It might be one of the night's highlights. Thank you, Brockton!
