Since 1901: A Boston Baseball Podcast

We're a week into the offseason and we're talking about how each member of the podcast has dealt with having no Red Sox baseball to watch. Jared vows to not beat the Xander negotiations into the ground every week, but to only bring it up when we have a new piece of news. Well this week we have some news. Apparently John Henry sat down with Xander briefly after the season ended to make it known tha...

The 2022 Boston Red Sox season has come to an end. Thank you to all the 162 guys/girls who stuck it out with us this year. We appreciate all of you and we can’t wait to run it back in 2023. We have a full crew tonight to breakdown the end of the season. Jared is hearing rumors that people within the organization are optimistic about a Xander return. Pat is guaranteeing that he reaches free agency...

We’re back and yes, we’re still watching Red Sox games. The Red Sox got swept by the Blue Jays but who cares? If you want to hear about that series you can skip to the third hour of this podcast. Today we have Will Middlebrooks on the pod to talk about his time in the booth, learning from Eck, teaching Wacha his best pitch, the 2013 Championship team, and endless stories from his time as a player....

Jared made his NESN booth debut on Tuesday night which felt like it was a long time coming. He takes us through his whole experience including getting a FaceTime from David Ortiz while he was on the field and then catching up with him in his suite before the appearance. Between throwing out the first pitch and being in the broadcast booth he's had some major bucket list moments checked off this ye...

Tyler got obliterated on Friday night but shockingly that's not where we're starting this podcast. First of all, how the fuck does Pat Light not show up for this episode? Second of all, how the fuck does Pete not show up for the watch party? We're uncovering the reasoning behind both before we dive into Tyler's performance at the Cask. In case you didn't check Twitter this weekend, Tyler's big nig...

It’s a throwback to 2015 Section 10 as Jared and Pete are taking questions from listeners. But first, Jared talks about waking up and immediately going in on Babe Ruth. Let’s just say the old folks weren’t happy. Jared also talks about his new NESN show “Like A Pro” dropping today and his time on the pregame show with Brock Holt. Jared and Pete then dive into some questions about how they started...

Kevin Plawecki was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Friday. He joins the podcast to not only give his thoughts on the decision, but to recount his career in Boston as a whole. From being the personal catcher for Eovaldi and Wacha, to creating a rallying cry for the 2021 Red Sox with Dancing On My Own, Plawecki has been a pillar in the clubhouse for the last three years and his teammates...

Everyone’s on the show tonight which completely takes Jared by surprise. Jared and Tyler might move in with Pete in Waltham because of the commute to the Sports Hub. The Yankees broadcast is laughing at us as the Red Sox go viral AGAIN for playing like a Little League team. Jared has a feeling that Xander wants to stay with the Red Sox but the front office is going to have to make him feel the sam...

We kick off the pod with a quick 15 on dinosaurs before we introduce the 2023 Boston Red Sox Ark. We’re going name by name down the Red Sox roster and deciding who gets an invite on the 2023 Ark and who doesn’t. We call up our pal Coley to help us figure out the Ark list. We decide that the major overhaul this offseason is going to have to be the rotation and Tyler poses a question on whether peop...

The Red Sox signed Kiké Hernandez to a one-year deal and we finally are seeing some direction from the Red Sox front office. The Red Sox playoff chances are now somewhere in the 0.2%-0.4% range which pretty much puts a cap on the season. Although they were swept by the Rays, we talk about how we didn’t really feel anything from these losses and the attention has shifted to our 2023 roster. Kiké dr...

Happy flight, happy podcast. The Red Sox swept the pathetic Texas Rangers and their chances to make the playoffs have skyrocketed from 0.4% to 2% which is a 500% increase. Let’s just say there’s people within the organization that think there’s still a chance. Triston Casas made his long-awaited major league debut on Sunday, but not before he did some sunbathing in the outfield. We talk about how...

The Red Sox won the last game of the series so this is going to be a positive podcast. We talk about how the last episode of each series dictates the mood of the pod, and if we’re going to be negative after losses then we have to be positive after wins. Tyler goes off on Ryan Brasier and doesn’t understand why he’s still on the roster. Pete introduces his new segment, “Talking’ Head Cocks.” We als...

The Red Sox won a series and about two minutes into the show Jared unintentionally breaks some news which becomes official 30 seconds later. There’s been a shakeup in the bullpen as Big Fudge and Sawamura have been DFA’d. We’re reacting to the series win against the Rays and Rich Hill’s DOMINATE outing on Saturday. We’re also talking about Chaim Bloom’s job security and how important it is for him...

Tonight we all hopped into the meeting and just started laughing. Another brutal series for the Red Sox. There's basically nothing to be excited about for the rest of the season so that's cool. We tried to spin things in a positive direction after about 20 minutes of negativity but it was pretty much impossible. The Red Sox can't get the ball in play when they need to, they're trotting out older g...

The Red Sox lost two out of three to the Orioles this weekend and despite some people saying Sunday's loss was the biggest of the year, Positive Paul is back. He thinks six games back of the third wild card spot in late August is a great spot to be at. Jared adds in some positivity saying if the Sox didn't give up a 15-spot on Friday night they easily could've won that game. Xander Bogaerts was ej...

It’s a full house tonight as we’re “celebrating” another series win for the Red Sox. We start off the show talking about the blowout loss to one of the worst teams in the league then quickly transition to how bad Austin Davis has been. After some more negativity, Positive Pat declares that he’s back and puts a positive spin on how the Red Sox have been playing over the past week. Josh Winckowski’s...

Jared threw out the first pitch on Sunday Night Baseball before a Red Sox/Yankees game and it was right down the dick. He talks about the days leading up to what turned out to be the biggest moment of his life. Special guest Coley Mick joins the pod to talk about both Jared's first pitch but also the state of the Sox. Tonight Klark's Ketchup MVP comes with some pretty big controversy. Tyler and Co...

Pat just got back from dinner and definitely didn't drink at all. That being said, he admits to drinking about 30 seconds later. Pat comes in hot and accuses Pete of missing episodes when he said he wouldn't. He also takes it upon himself to teach Name Redacted listeners the ins and outs of both acquiring a professional sports franchise, and how to responsibly go into debt at favorable interest ra...

It's not only a full crew tonight, but also a full crew tomorrow night for a bonus episode! Who doesn't want more Red Sox content right now! Pat joins for the fourth straight episode which means tomorrow night we'll be getting Pat's Picks! Tyler was out last week so we get his reaction to the abysmal Royals series coupled with his thoughts about getting swept by the Braves. We unintentionally rip...

This team fucking sucks but we're still gonna make it a fun episode. The Red Sox currently have a 16.2% chance to make the playoffs and that seems extremely high. We came into this series looking for a sweep and worst-case three out of four, but the Red Sox DROPPED three of four to the goddamn Royals. Yikes. Once again we're looking at the owners/front office and are trying to make heads or tails...

Pat Light got ABSOLUTELY FLAMED by Will Flemming on the Red Sox broadcast Wednesday afternoon and we get his live reaction to the audio. This transitions nicely into a discussion about current MLB players (some of which are All-Stars) that the Red Sox could've picked before they drafted Pat Light. Pat also gets into his sit-down interview with Barbara Walters on 60 minutes. We then get some quick...

Today we're celebrating the fact that the Red Sox didn't get swept. Woo Whoo! Pat shockingly joins for the second straight episode and breaks down his $93k night in Vegas. We go line by line of his receipt and talk about our favorite lines, including the $312 he spent on fucking WATER. In classic Pat fashion he mentions a couple competing sponsors that need to get bleeped out and then we move onto...

In a shocking turn of events, Pat Light is rearing to go for Episode 32 of the Name Redacted Pod. We start out hot with a tweet from Christ Cotillo claiming Pat Light has been mentioned in trade to acquire Coley from Barstool. We break down Pat's value to the pod and talk about what his value could be elsewhere (which we decide is quite minimal). Right before we started recording we had a big quot...

The kids are fucking starving but Tyler’s still ripping the 9’s. The Sox lose ANOTHER AL East series, this time in embarrassing fashion. This is one of those series that you can’t even break down game by game since it was such a dumpster fire, so we go big picture. What’s the plan for this team? Are they buyers or sellers at the deadline? If we let Xander walk how is Cora going to feel? If we aren...

What the hell was that? The Red Sox absolutely crawl into the All-Star break losing six of their last seven games to division opponents and very realistically could've been swept back to back. After a miracle of a win on Friday night, the Sox got absolutely smacked around for the rest of the weekend getting outscored by the Yankees 27-3. On top of that, after years of waiting for a healthy Chris S...
