Not From Boston

We’re very VERY happy about our first crossover episode! That’s right, this week, Bennett will be on “Talk Dodgers to Me” to talk about the recent Red Sox/Dodgers series, the shared history between the two teams, and more! We’re incredibly thankful to Melissa, Jaclyn, and Adam for the invitation. “Talk Dodgers to Me” is a refreshing, excellent show for all baseball fans. You should definitely give...

Again, just so we’re clear: this episode was recorded just hours before Josh Naylor was traded to the Seattle Mariners instead of the Boston Red Sox. But with just under a week until the Deadline, there’s plenty of speculating to do, and boy oh boy, do Bennett and Harry speculate their butts off on this week’s episode! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscrib...

This week, Bennett and Harry talk about the All-Star Game and the Home Run Derby (and how much better they were back in our day) before getting into the weeds of Red Sox trade rumors. The two discuss where Duran might be traded to, who the Red Sox should trade for, and what else the team can do to set themselves up for success in the second half. This is a public episode. If you would like to disc...

This week, Bennett and Harry break down the significant sweeps of the Nationals and the Rockies, how the offense and rotation have seemingly started to click, and what all of that means as the Red Sox head into a four-game series with the Rays, followed by the All-Star Break. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit n...

Bennett and Harry breakdown the Red Sox and their consistently inconsistent performance in the run-up to their 4th of July series with the Washington Nationals. They also talk about the stupid-ass decision of visiting the President at the White House on Thursday. This is a public episode.

Bennett and Harry discuss all of the new details that have emerged surrounding the Rafael Devers trade. They talk a little about what the actual team was up to this week against the Mariners, but this was another Devers/Breslow-centric episode. This is a public episode.

Well, this is a LONG episode, and with good reason! The Red Sox have taken two series in a row, one against those damn Yankees, and one against the (Devil) Rays. Along the way, the Red Sox finally called Roman Anthony up to the Big Leagues, reuniting the Big Three and making Red Sox Nation happy for a change (albeit briefly). However, things aren’t all sunshine and rainbows for the boys in red sto...

On this week’s episode, Bennett and Harry continue to dissect the problems surrounding the 2025 Red Sox season, and how utterly underwhelming it has been. On the bright side, they spend most of the episode doing what most baseball media publications have been doing lately, putting together rosters for their respective MLB All-Quarter-Century Teams! Looking back at the last 25 years of baseball, Be...

So, this is what we get for taking a week off. The Red Sox are sinking faster than the Titanic, losing Alex Bregman to an injury, half of the lineup to a capital-S Slump, all while Alex Cora and Craig Breslow mismanage the roster. Meanwhile, Roman Anthony is tearing the cover off the ball in the minor leagues. He should’ve been promoted a million years ago. Anyway, Bennett and Harry are tired and...

We are so excited to bring you this episode despite the Red Sox’s recent sub—500 performance. We’re excited because this week, Not From Boston has a guest: The Athletic’s Red Sox reporter, Jen McCaffrey! After we talk with one another about the disappointing series against the Detroit Tigers, we sit down with Jen as she shares her thoughts on the current state of the Red Sox and what may happen if...

Surprise! It’s an emergency episode of Not From Boston ! Bennett and Harry sit down days after Rafael Devers publicly rejected the notion of playing at first base to discuss how the situation was handled, who was right (or wrong), and where the team goes. They also get a little carried away, talking about the recent three-game series with the Royals, and what to expect for the rest of the month. N...

After a difficult week, the Boston Red Sox fell from 17-15 to 18-18, and then 18-19 (and now 20-19 since recording this episode). This isn’t exactly where you’d expect a playoff caliber team to be in early May. Well, Bennett and Harry feel the exact same way. Exasperated by the lack of urgency from manager Alex Cora and the Front Office, and exhausted by nine losses in one-run games, Bennett and H...

Bennett and Harry get excited this week as the Red Sox heat up. They recap the team's struggles against Seattle, as well as the team's strengths against Cleveland and Toronto. The two break down where the team has improved, particularly Rafael Devers and Ceddanne Rafaela's control of the strike zone, how good it feels to have Brayan Bello back, and how signing Alex Bregman is the gift that keeps o...

This week's episode of Not From Boston, unfortunately, suffers from our audio files becoming corrupted. We had to rely on the in-camera audio this week, and I promise, we don't like that either. Otherwise, the episode includes a recap of the past week, where the Red Sox roster is struggling, and where it's doing well. We talk about all things Triston Casas, bullpen woes, and we even indulge the ir...

On this week's episode of Not From Boston , Bennett and Harry watch the Red Sox beat the Rays 1-0. As it happens, they recap the less-than-stellar week the Red Sox have been having, breaking down the issues surrounding an anemic offense and sloppy defense. Bennett and Harry debate who, if anyone, is to blame for the team's woes, and whether or not it's time to panic, as the internet suggests. NOTE...

We are officially more than a week into the baseball season, and a LOT has happened! The Red Sox, after starting the season 1-4, seemed to be getting their mojo back right before we recorded this episode. Then yesterday, they all but confirmed that, but we had already recorded this episode, so... Anyway, this week, we talked about what went right for the Red Sox, what went wrong, and what the exte...

Friday's episode went long, so here is a BONUS POD! Bennett sat down with author Jonathan D. Cohen, author of the new book Losing Big: America's Reckless Bet on Sports Gambling. Two talk about how sports gambling became so prevalent in the United States, why it can be harmful, how sports leagues are in on it, and what, if anything, can be done to fix it. Losing Big will be out today, April 1st. Th...

EDIT: Sorry for the delay, everyone, Bennett didn't mean to upload a podcast episode with no audio. The episode has been reuploaded, hopefully with no issue this time around. It is Opening Weekend, and as a result, we have a BIG episode for you. In fact, this episode was so jam-packed that there is going to be a BONUS POD out on April 1st! Bennett sat down to interview author Jonathan D. Cohen abo...

On this week's episode of Not From Boston , Bennett and Harry discuss the recent injuries to the Red Sox rotation and whether the team's depth is enough to weather the storm.

And, of course, this week's episode wouldn't be...
