In The Dugout Podcast

We were *wong* about Connor Wong. From a fringe backup catcher to a young stud, we highlight the recent success Wong has had this season. We also break down the Guardians series and first 2 games against the Jays, discussing the fight this team has shown, Alex Verdugo's clutch factor, Yoshida's success, Chris Sale's good start, and clown Kiké Hernandez for his awful defense at SS. We also answer a bunch of questions and celebrate Kaleb Ort being optioned. Enjoy!

After going .500 on this road trip, the Red Sox are back at .500. With some ups and downs, that record sums up the Sox right now. We recap the series win against the Brewers and series loss against the Orioles, highlight Yoshi's awakening, talk about how Duran is on fire and deserves to stay, analyze Chris Sale's struggles again, and bring up Reese McGuire's case for the Hall of Fame. We also rant about Kaleb Ort's meltdown and discuss Orioles fans spitting on Red Sox bullpen players. Vibes are solid, enjoy this episode! 

We're feeling cautiously optimistic after winning 3/4 vs the Angels and a walk-off win against the Twins. We recap everything that went down, including highlighting Whitlock's great start and Bello's not so great start, discuss Chris Sale's vintage outing and debate if the ACE is back, talk about this team moving forward and the remaining issues, and more. We also answer a bunch of questions, and get heated about Fenway's fake ketchup and alarming lack of honey mustard. Plus, we talk about how celery is a scam. It's a good one, enjoy!

The Red Sox are spiraling after playing embarrassing baseball in a 4-game sweep by the undefeated Rays and we're overreacting. We discuss the magnitude of the Adam Duvall injury, the poor bench depth, call out certain players slacking, question Cora as a manager, give up on Chris Sale, and rant about the dumb mistakes this team has been making. Full on Sox therapy session you need to hear. Enjoy!

Sox are off to a cold start to the season literally and figuratively. We break down every part of the first 6 games, not quite reaching for the panic button but maybe overreacting a bit. We discuss what we feel good about and what we feel bad about, including pitching and catcher defense. We also try to figure out how Jeffrey Springs is now a Cy Young in Tampa, debate whether the light show at Fenway is cool (it is), and talk about Don Orsillo towards the end. Just like Sox opposing hitters, we touch every base in this one! Enjoy! 

Opening Day is HERE and that means it's PREDICTIONS TIME!! We have some fun making predictions for this season, and it gets a little hot -- Raffy leading the AL in homers? Chris Sale being our worst player? Alex Verdugo getting traded? Lots of hot takes that we'll probably look back and laugh at, but for right now we're shooting our shots. We also read a bunch of listener predictions and react to those. It's a fun one, enjoy!

This one goes off the rails a little bit. Some Sox talk turns into Jason ranting about how ridiculous Great Britain's WBC uniforms are. Then halfway through, Joey joins live from Ireland and argues how Helen Keller isn't real. Which she's not. We also discover a ghost player on the Red Sox roster and finish with some actual baseball discussion about how the Opening Day lineup should be constructed. Electric episode, enjoy!

Spring Training has started, energy is high, vibes are good! We breakdown the recent optimism we have for this team, which players we are excited for, how certain key players fit into the picture, and talk about a lot more involving how we feel about the 2023 Sox. We also discuss our thoughts on the pitch clock and one change we'd like to see. Step In The Dugout and enjoy!

100 EPISODES!! For our 100th, Tom Caron joined us for an electric interview!(9:40) TC talked with us about the Beanpot, covering the Red Sox as a lifelong New Englander, what goes on behind the scenes pregame and postgame, his view of the analytic wave in baseball, and wayyy more. He also gives us some exclusive stories about Jim Rice, Spring Training ghost players, and more. It’s an awesome interview you won’t want to miss! Then stick around after for a little Sox talk, including our thoughts on Justin Turner immediately taking Xander’s #2. And we also have a firey debate about hair care. Thank you to all our listeners for the support, enjoy this loaded episode! 

"They stuck on making a movie... I'm just tryna make moves" -Triston Casas. The Red Sox are making' moves!
