In The Dugout Podcast

This episode was surprisingly good considering we're 20 days into quarantine and the sport we talk about isn't being played. We discuss when baseball will return and what has to happen to get to that point, and then we actually talk about Chris Sale's Tommy John surgery that we forgot to do last week and the ethics of getting the surgery during the pandemic. Then we answer your questions and end up having an intellectual conversation about Helen Keller. Stay safe and healthy everyone! 

We have nothing to do so we recorded this episode. You have nothing to do so you should listen to this episode. And if that's not enough of an incentive: Joey becomes unable to hear Jason talk half way through and it's surprisingly amusing. Stay safe and healthy everyone! 

We start out talking all about the Chris Sale injury news and what the starting rotation is looking like (spoiler: it's looking nonexistent), then Joey joins the podcast while shopping at Marshalls and we talk about how the Sox haven't talked to Devers about an extension and we answer listener questions. At some point we go on a long tangent about how MLB players should be mic'd up a lot more and during the regular season, and we talk all about how great that would be for the game. Then we close it out with Jason ranting about the MLB's never ending investigation and Spring Training games being only on AM radio like its 1930. 

Brock Holt isn't on the Sox anymore and we are upset. We talk about that stupid move to not bring Brock back, then breakdown the potential Wil Myers trade that the Red Sox are discussing with the Padres. And Spring Training has started and baseball is back! So we preview Spring Training and share our players to watch for, Joey does his Pedro Martinez AND David Ortiz impressions, and we talk more about sign stealing. Then we also answer all your questions and analyze my bold predictions for 2020. It's a good one, enjoy! 

The Red Sox worked out a new deal with the Dodgers and traded Mookie Betts for real this time, so we discuss the return we actually ended up getting and the impact this trade will have on the future. [Sign Brock Holt]. We also talk about Ron Roenicke being the new manager, Chaim Bloom's post-Mookie Trade press conference, [sign brock holt], and we rip on the MLB's proposed postseason changes. Plus we answer a bunch of great listener questions and more! Enjoy! [Sign Brock Holt. Please.]

The Red Sox traded Mookie Betts. We talk about that. A lot. Loudly. Everything from the return we got, to the possibility of re-signing him, to Sox ownership, and more. And we spend a surprisingly large amount of time being hecklers in the stands (you’ll see) and yell a lot, so enjoy!

Alex Cora is out as Red Sox manager after it was revealed that he was behind the whole Astros sign-stealing scandal. We talk all about that and what it means for the Red Sox going forward, while also discussing new manager options. We also develop a legal way to steal signs and answer some listener questions as always. We could be entering a tough time in Red Sox history, so buckle up folks. But in the meantime, enjoy this great episode! 

2019 has been an amazing year for the In The Dugout Podcast, we started this in February and it has grown and evolved to become what it is now! We’ve interviewed guys like Nick Northcut and Nick Decker in their dugout, and former Sox players like Pat Light and Jonny Gomes. So I went back through all of our episodes to pull out the highlights of each to create one episode highlighting the best of the In The Dugout Podcast in 2019! Thank you to all of our great listeners, we wish you a Happy New Year and hope you enjoy this episode!

We've got all 4 of us on this special Christmas episode for you this week! We talk about the moves the Red Sox have made so far including Jose Peraza and Martín Perez, and Joey makes a very compelling argument that Martín Perez was a better signing than Gerrit Cole. Then we touch on Rick Porcello leaving for the Mets, and play a brand new game called Professional Baseball Player or Holiday Food -- you won't want to miss it! Plus we answer your great listener questions as always and a lot more. From all of us, we hope you enjoy this episode and we wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The Baseball Winter Meetings are going on so rumors are flying around and signings are happening. The Yankees just signed Gerrit Cole to a $324M deal so we talk about that and what it means for the Sox, then shift to the rumors around a David Price trade and Mookie Betts. We also recorded this episode while streaming live on Instagram, so we answer live listener questions throughout and pre-submitted ones as well. And even though he couldn't join us on the episode, Joey weighed in by giving us his State of the Sox from his car at the end!
