Section 10 Podcast

Is John Farrell's job in jeopardy? Should it be? Has Dave Dombrowski handled the managerial situation well or does he deserve blame too? We try our best to answer these questions and explain some of the more recent Sox roster moves. 

WEEI's Michael Holley joins the show to discuss his career in the Boston media as well as his new book about David Ortiz, which may have some surprises in store for Sox fans. We also recap Joe Kelly's bizarre Q & A with fans on Twitter.

Talking about David Ortiz's new book (and reading books in general) and whether the Red Sox needed to retire Papi's number this quickly. The Red Sox have been "painfully mediocre" and the power outage has been real. Eduardo Rodriguez may just be the second-best pitcher in the rotation, and Drew Pomeranz gets roasted once again. 

The Sports Hub's Tony Massarotti joins the show to talk about his time (and some great untold stories) on the Red Sox beat, as well as co-hosting Boston's most popular sports talk radio show and working with Mike Felger every day. 

Discussing the reaction and feedback surrounding the Travis Shaw interview earlier in the week and whether other players have similar views of John Farrell. Also, touching on Drew Pomeranz's latest rough start and taking some Down In The DM questions from listeners.

A very candid Travis Shaw joins the show to discuss his rise & fall with the Red Sox, as well as his strained relationship with Sox manager John Farrell and the trade that sent him to the Milwaukee Brewers. He discusses some Sox memories, the "Mayor of Ding Dong City" nickname and his new life in Milwaukee.

Discussing Adam Jones' claims of racism at Fenway Park, as well as the never-ending drama surrounding Manny Machado. Jared also breaks some injury news and a debate over what is more impressive, a 20-strikeout game or a perfect game. 

Former MLB pitcher Dallas Braden joins the show to talk about his playing career (including the infamous "get off my mound" incident with Alex Rodriguez), as well as his broadcasting career and being part of ESPN's massive layoffs. 

Is Red Sox-Yankees still a rivalry? Where does it need to go from here? Barstool JJ joins the show to discuss. We also determine whether Dustin Pedroia actually threw Matt Barnes (or anyone else) under the bus with his comments following the Manny Machado incident.

Discussing Pete Abe's emergence as "The Assman," the worst thing we've accidentally sent or posted online, all the Manny Machado drama in Baltimore, and some upcoming changes to the show.

The legendary Pedro Martinez joins the show to talk about his career in Boston what it means to be a Hall of Famer. We also discuss the decision to replace a dominant Chris Sale with Craig Kimbrel in Toronto.

Discussing the legend of Johnny Lazor, watching Slick Rick get crushed at Fenway, a lack of run support/power from the Sox lineup, and a Dwew Pomewanz update. Also, we answer fan questions. 

Topics discussed include Jon Lester going at Jared for misinterpreting his comments about the Cubs' championship rings, Drew Pomeranz and Steven Wright having very different weeks, Clay Buchholz remaining Clay Buchholz, and the Marlins giving Jose Fernandez a statue. 

A lack of run support is plaguing Chris Sale, just like the flu and injuries are plaguing the rest of the roster. Also discussed: Drew Pomeranz's upcoming start and Pablo Sandoval's first week on the redemption tour.

Discussing Opening Day and Chris Sale's first start, which ended in a Sandy Leon crushing a walk-off ding dong. The boys debate whether David Ortiz should have been at Fenway for the start of a new season, and whether Pablo Sandoval deserved to be cheered in his introduction. Down in the DM questions ask why Xandy isn’t leadoff and why Jess Moran still doesn’t have a job.
