We’re also breaking down the Shohei Ohtani rumors that were floated a few days ago. Other topics include more candidates for the front office, Bloom being “indecisive” now becoming a mainstream criticism, the luxury...

The Red Sox got swept by the Astros and it feels like the unofficial end of the season. It’s all pretty much Tyler’s fault. Coley joins the show and we take a look at the bigger picture of the 2024 Red Sox/what the offseason should look like. We’re talking about the need to improve the pitching staff, whether we should re-sign Paxton, Jarren Duran’s position in the outfield, whether the Red Sox should pick up waived Angels players, needing urgency from Chaim, why Mookie isn’t still on this...

Mookie made his return to Boston and it went pretty much how everyone expected. He got a standing ovation all three games, had 7 hits with a homer, and looked exactly like the player Boston fell in love with a short time ago. We take a look back at the timeline of the Mookie trade and talk about what went wrong in the negotiations. The Red Sox dropped two out of three to one of the best teams in baseball and it’s looking like the Sox will not be a playoff team. We’re talking about Verdugo’s...

The Red Sox rollercoaster season continues. After dropping the first two games to the Astros and with their backs against the wall, the Red Sox come back to take the last two to save their season. Adam Duvall went OFF hitting three bombs, Tanner Houck made his return, the defense was sloppy again with Raffy making more errors at third base, Pivetta was a dog again, and we had a couple of ejections between Alex Cora and Alex Verdugo. We also address Mookie’s impending return to Boston and...

The Red Sox swept the Toronto Blue Jays and holy shit it's hard to get a read on this team. They win five straight then lose five straight. They sweep a series then get swept.

We're also recapping Jake's birthday,...
