In The Dugout Podcast

Ep.58 - Early Reactions

The Sox are back and we are excited so we overact to everything that's happened so far. We recap the Rays series, ignore the Orioles series, share our thoughts on the new extra innings rule where a runner starts on 2B, discuss the Tanner Houck situation, and talk about a bunch of other random stuff. 

Ep.57 - Get Excited

The 2021 Red Sox season is just days away, so this is our season predictions episode! We drop some can't-miss predictions and hot takes, then go through some listener hot takes, hype up Franchy Cordero a bunch, and just get excited for the season! Let's go!!

Ep.56 - Spring Training vibes

Spring Training is finally here!! So we're talking all about spring camp: who to watch, storylines to follow, what we expect from this team coming into a new season, and overreact to meaningless games as usual. Also, we bring on Red Sox legend David Ortiz to share his perspective on spring training. You don't want to miss that interview with *definitely* the real Big Papi.... We also answer some questions and Joey tries to find Chaim Bloom's email address. It's a fun time, enjoy! 

Ep.55 - Jahmai Webster

HUGE episode this week, we've got NESN sideline reporter Jahmai Webster back on the podcast! (24:52) We talk to him about getting the full time gig, what advice he has for young people wanting to do what he does, the behind the scenes of his job and what it's like to be live on air, and a lot more. But before all that, we talk for awhile about the Andrew Benintendi trade and (spoiler) we're not too happy. And then we close it out by talking about the Sawamura and Gonzalez additions. Oh and we sarcastically hype up Franchy Cordero a lot. Enjoy this loaded episode!

Ep.54 - Low risk, Chaim reward

Chaim Bloom listened to us and went out and made some great moves, so we break down the Enrique Hernandez & Garrett Richards signings, as well as the Adam Ottavino trade. We also advocate for a reunion with Mitch Moreland. Then of course, we spend some time reflecting on the outstanding career of Dustin Pedroia and what he meant to our generation. And we wrap it up with listener questions as always. Plus, you get live commentary throughout on the Umass Amherst COVID situation! Enjoy!

Ep.53 - What are we doing?

The MLB offseason is finally heating up and big name free agents are being signed... but not by the Red Sox. We struggle to understand what the Red Sox are doing and what their vision is, live react to Sam Kennedy's latest quote about their plan, answer a bunch of questions, and overall just express the frustration and urgency that all of Red Sox Nation is feeling. Time is running out, let's make some moves before it's too late. If you're a Red Sox fan that's totally lost and upset with the Sox, this is the episode for you. Enjoy! 

Ep.52 - Happy Hall-idays

It’s our last episode of 2020-  the Holiday Special!! So we bring back a favorite segment from last year: Professional Baseball Player or Holiday Food? But before that, we run though all the news we missed in the month between episodes, talk about what players we want for Christmas, answer a bunch of questions, and then briefly reflect on 2020 at the end. Enjoy, happy holidays!! 

Ep.51 - Reserve Judgement

ALEX CORA IS BACK. AND WE ARE BACK. We recorded this one in person for the first time in 264 days! So obviously it was incredible and you should listen. We talk about Alex Cora returning as manager, go off on nerds and analytics in baseball, hate on Dodgers fans, roast Rob Manfred a little, and do two fun rapid-fire segments at the end. Then Joey also does his Borat voice so you won’t want to miss that. WE BACK WOOOO!!! Enjoy!

Ep.50 - Worst kind of bad

Well that nightmare of a season is finally over. The Red Sox were an absolute disaster in every way, they were bad at being good and bad at being bad. Couldn't even get the #1 pick. That's the worst kind of bad. We revisit our horrible preseason predictions, then answer a bunch of your questions read to you by GJ Questions himself. At least that season is over now, enjoy this episode!

Ep.49 - Almost over

The Red Sox season has basically been over for awhile, but now it's really almost over. We discuss everything we missed since our last episode which was ages ago, including the deadline trades, how no one wants to watch the Red Sox, Bobby Dalbec and Tanner Houck, what the future looks like, and more. We also touch on the debate over Alex Cora coming back as manager in 2021. This miserable throw-away season is finally coming to an end.
