Section 10 Podcast

It took a week but here we are, JD Martinez...aka Jumbo Dong Martinez...aka JD Mahtin-ez is officially a member of the Boston Red Sox. We open with Jared being pissed that zero reporters asked JD about that report that he was getting frustrated with negotiations and would "rather sign with another club." We then talk which Red Sox starter right now is least likely to be on the team in 2020 (including JD), who on this team actually has thick skin, how Hanley has been an absolute quote machine this week and even tossed us an RT, a quick debate on how many homers Papi would hit if he came back this year, Fuckin with Hubbs segment that becomes a bit of a feud, and talk about the new Red Sox player that could win MVP this year. This leads us to our interview with Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston. We open with how he has made history by becoming the first 3-time guest on the show, we then dive into why the JD Martinez deal was held up, what the new negotiations mean for him and the Red Sox moving forward, if there is controversy surrounding the Red Sox training staff, and then Drellich hangs up on us after we ask him the hardest question known to man. We then close with your phenomenal Down in the DMs.

THE TIME HAS COME! J.D. Martinez is on the Red Sox and it finally feels like the baseball season is officially here. We break down every aspect of this J.D. deal including how much we love the contract itself, Yankees fans already getting defensive about the move, how much pressure this will take off the rest of the lineup, if J.D. being an oppo-heavy hitter is a problem, why we should have expected this move was inevitably going to happen, and a unique debate on why Alex Cora already had Martinez's No. 28. This leads us to our originally recorded (pre-J.D.) podcast. We talk how Cora has already changed the vibe around the Red Sox, if David Price could become fully-likeable in Boston, why no one is talking about Hanley Ramirez, what it means to this club to bring Eduardo Nunez back, and close with your Down in the DM awesomeness.

Guys, the Red Sox are like throwing baseballs around and doing baseball stuff. LET'S GO! But, with pitchers and catchers reporting in Fort Myers today we are sadly still talking about the Red Sox vs. J.D. Martinez, shocker we know. We open debating the legitimacy of the report that J.D. is fed up with the Red Sox 'inflexibility' and he would rather sign with another club, talk if this potential quote would make things awkward if he signs with the Red Sox, and what other offers J.D. may have on the table. Then it's time to let you know that yes, the Red Sox could still win the AL East even if they don't sign J.D. Martinez. That is followed by the best possible path for the Sox to make a run deep into October this year, how insane and yet oddly expected it would be for the Red Sox to sign Logan Morrison and make you think that's actually a big move, if we're through with JBJ or not, and close with your phenomenal Down in the DMs.

Now folks, we don't want you to be thrown off by that title. What Truck Day represents is what we love, we just think the actual "event" of Truck Day is extremely stupid. Anyway we start off talking how dumb Truck Day is, give a shoutout to our boy Wally, the Red Sox making a HUGE signing by bringing minor league Aneury Tavarez back, how people actually debated this guy's relevance with Jared on the Twitter machine, get into George A. King III getting blasted by Section 10 followers on Twitter, "Raffy Big Stick" making it onto a Devers baseball card, what Betts winning his arbitration case means for the Sox moving forward with Mookie, talk how awful the offseason continues to be, MLB absolutely needing to bring back bullpen carts, and we close with your phenomenal Down in the DMs.

Here we have the 2nd half of our Pedro Martinez episode. We open talking Pedro's phenomenal 17-strikeout performance at Yankee Stadium late in the 1999 season, we then discuss the ups and downs of Pedro's 2004 season, how he shockingly still finished 4th in AL Cy Young voting that year, and we debate who had a better career between Pedro and Clemens. This leads us to the "Who's your daddy?" portion of the show. Steve shares his story of going to Yankee Stadium for ALCS Game 2 in 2004 and how those chants will never be louder and we may never experience that hostility in the Stadium or Fenway ever again, we mix in A-Rod's antics from the 2004 ALCS and how wild it is that we prefer A-Rod now. We talk whether we'd be able to pick Karim Garcia out of a crowd today, how Pedro got screwed with the Hall of Fame voting percentage, the classic fights and brawls that Martinez started, the story behind how he wanted to fuck Sandra Bullock, the importance of "Pedro Day," and we close out our 2-part series with what moment first comes to mind when we hear the name Pedro Martinez. This was awesome.

We have arrived at our player-themed podcasts and who better to start with than Hall of Famer himself Pedro Martinez. We open talking how the Expos got completely owned by Boston in the Pedro trade, conclude that the Montreal franchise should have been cancelled right after this deal was made, briefly discuss how many amazing quotes Pedro produced during his playing career, and discuss all of Pedro's stats that make you lose your mind. We are joined by Barstool's own Coley Mick for this episode and he breaks down everything about Pedro's magnificent no-hit performance out of the bullpen in 1999 ALDS Game 5 vs. the Indians. Coley describes the scene perfectly and reminds you of the little facts that you may have forgotten from that game and series. Jared then picks the 1999 All-Star Game start by Pedro to dissect. This was simply one of the greatest ASG performances ever and we talk all angles of it, including how defeated some of the greatest players ever looked after Pedro sat them down with ease. Steve then discusses Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS just to show we aren't just blowing Pedro the entire episode. We reimagine what would have happened if Pedro never came out for that brutal 8th inning, and talk whether it was fair or not for Grady Little to lose his job over his mismanagement of this game. All that and MUCH more on Part I of a 2 part series titled: Pedro Mania.

Ahh yes. Our favorite part of the offseason has arrived: Winter Weekend. We open on a sad note talking how we are changing our intro to the show due to the unfortunate events surrounding now former WWE star Enzo Amore. From there we break down a wild trip just to get to Foxwoods including a driver that had zero clue where they were going, break down the Sam Kennedy interview and how he may just be the best employee on the Red Sox, a random encounter with Dave Dombrowski that led to a squashing of the beef between him and Barstool. We then jump into a wild Saturday that had everything from meeting tons of fans to Pete sleeping on the casino floor and Steve being drugged...? Jared briefly talks how the Red Sox followed him on Twitter out of literally nowhere, and then we get into our Sam Kennedy interview...which was amazing. Enjoy!

We're at the part of the offseason where #SoapyPenisGate is MAJOR news. We open, however, talking about how Travis Shaw could potentially end up lighting Jared on fire if he is traded to the Yankees, have a wild debate on whether the Red Sox would have a ceremony for Jared if he died, then discuss the #SoapyPenis situation with Benintendi's agent allegedly filming his players in the shower. We also give a J.D. Martinez update, explain why Mookie Betts going to an arbitration hearing with the Red Sox is a very bad thing for Sox fans, how the Red Sox Twitter account found a way to hit a new low, an update heading into Winter Weekend and close with your Down in the DMs.

We're here, folks. We have officially reached the point in the offseason where literally nothing remotely close to anything is going on for the Boston Red Sox. We open talking why it was a smart move for the Red Sox to reportedly decline a Yasiel Puig for JBJ trade last season, how people should be more worried about the immediate future of Hanley Ramirez, have an out-of-nowhere debate about Jonathan Papelbon and close with a lengthy Down in the DMs segment.

This offseason is SO ROWDY that we've finally got some damn offers on the table, WOW. We open talking J.D. Martinez reportedly getting a 5-year offer from the Red Sox, how it seems the Sox are bidding against themselves here for Martinez, whether or not that will make Boras give up his 7-year hope for J.D., how people that think the Sox should trade for 1 year of Manny Machado's services are morons, and why the Red Sox absolutely can't afford to wait for the "mega" free-agent class after this season. We talk the Pedroia video that went viral this week even though it was from early in the season, and hint at maybe even having Pedey on the pod. Then comes a Winter Weekend update and closing out with your Down in the DMs.

It was an up-and-down year for the Boston Red Sox and we are here to recap 2017 and move on to 2018. We open talking how Feits was miraculously not abandoned on Christmas this year, sum um the Red Sox 2017 season including our highlights and lowest moments, talk the potential of 2018 being a big year depending on potential upcoming moves, Jared being ecstatic over David Ortiz following him on Twitter, how pumped a fan of the show was to get season tickets in Section 10, and close with your Down in the DMs.

Caught us by surprise but Mitchy Two Bags is officially returning to the Red Sox on a 2-year deal. We opened the show talking Feits being nowhere to be found, gave a recap of Rough N Rowdy and how Jared may actually fight at the next event, the Red Sox showing interest in Carlos Santana before he landed with the Phillies, and how Dave Dombrowski continues to lie about offseason rumors. This leads us to how the Red Sox appear to be making J.D. Martinez their No. 1 priority in free agency, Giancarlo Stanton potentially being dealt to the Dodgers in 2018, how Manny Machado would potentially consider coming to Boston, and then arrive at our Mitchy Moreland discussion with the news breaking after we recorded. We close opening Christmas gifts from Sox Signatures and a brief Down in the DM segment.

Giancarlo Stanton is in the Bronx now and the Yankees have officially returned to being the Evil Empire. We open with our Fuckin with Hubbs segment which was as depressing as you might expect, we then debate where Stanton to the Yankees ranks on worst non-game related sports stories we've experienced, and how this deal is definitely unlike the A-Rod to New York move. We then provide a full guide to how the Red Sox can become a legit contender to win the 2018 World Series. This honestly doesn't require many moves, which surprised us greatly to say the least. We talk Steven Wright being arrested for domestic assault and whether the full story is out yet, and close with Jared's feedback on his Starting 9 interview with Mr. Worldwide - Alex Cora.

We have one of our favorite Red Sox in a long time Brock Holt join the podcast today and he was amazing. Before getting to Brock we start by addressing the report that the Red Sox are out on Giancarlo Stanton and how this really didn't surprise us. This lead to our Fuckin with Hubbs segment to talk all the madness going on in the Bronx at the moment, if Aaron Boone would have had any chance of getting hired if he didn't hit that 2003 ALCS home run, and why Shohei Ohtani is the softest human on the planet. From here we talk Jared's instant reaction to getting the shout-out from David Ortiz, why people are too worried to get start struck, and do an early preview of Winter Weekend. This leads us to the main event, Brock Holt. Brock opens talking his workout routine which is hilarious, Brock rips the players that post "No Offseason" workout vids, he talks how frustrating the 2017 season was for him, how he always sees what people say about him on social media and enjoys chirping back, an in-depth breakdown of his bromance with Andrew Benintendi, how the team knew Farrell was going to get fired, the narrative that Price and Pedroia aren't leaders being so far from the truth and much more!

Offseason depression is here, and it is REAL. We open talking a very unexpected admission from Jared, how the Hot Stove is about as cold as physically possible, break open a new segment called Offseason Gripes, talk the ridiculousness of the Red Sox reportedly only having "tepid" interest in Giancarlo Stanton, see if Jared can name 5 players on the Celtics, break down Steven Wright putting GBOB even further into the bathroom, have a surprising Fuckin with Hubbs segment, and close with your Down in the DMs.
