Section 10 Podcast

By signing Xander Bogaerts to a 6-year extension, the Red Sox have done a great job of distracting us from the fact that they've started the season 1-3. Safe to say we have very mixed feelings on this episode. We open talking what the hell is wrong with the starting rotation, what positives to take out of that brutal series in Seattle, if Matty Backpacks has what it takes to be the closer all season, and what Jared will be up to in Oakland this week. We then break down this lengthy deal for that stud Xander Bogaerts, why the deal won't impact how the Sox pursue Mookie, how surprised we were that it got done now and didn't drag into next offseason, and take a trip down memory lane to talk the other forgettable players that have called themselves Red Sox shortstop over the years. We then close with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions and more. Enjoy!

This pod is PACKED, folks. We start with our lengthy predictions on this upcoming Red Sox season including over/unders for total wins and JD homers, starting rotation expectations, bold predictions and much more. We are then joined by shining Sox prospect flame-thrower Dalton Furbush himself, aka Durbin Feltman. We sit down with Furbush to discuss when he found out about his nickname and how much he hears it now, how his career path has potentially changed now that it seems Craig Kimbrel will not return to the team, the importance of having two very dominant pitches, his favorite hobbies off the field, and how excited he is for the potential to pitch in front of the Fenway crowd. All that and much more. Enjoy!

Yes, we are joined by Pretty Ricky himself down in Fort Myers to talk how dedicated the Sox rotation was in the postseason, the team wanting to capitalize on the talent they have and win it all again this year, not paying attention to the Vegas odds on who will win the division, when he knew last year's club was special, how much pressure he felt when he came to Boston and how he has found his spot now, how much winning the Cy Young Award meant to him, his experience being on the other side with the Tigers in the 2013 ALCS, and a very funny story on how interactions have been with Kevin Youkilis ever since he charged Rick on the mound. After the Porcello interview we break down the Red Sox schedule for the first few weeks, answer your voicemail questions and more. Enjoy!

Yes, we are joined by the ace of the Red Sox to talk everything about his time in Boston, when he knew last year's team was special, how much different he is in person vs. the psycho we see on the mound, which Sox pitcher he would want to steal a pitch from, facing the Yankees in the playoffs, flipping out in the dugout, recording the last out of the World Series and much more! After the Sale interview we discuss the weirdness of Steven Wright's last 3 years leading up to this 80-game PED suspension and answer your Down in the DM questions. Enjoy!

The Fenway Park organist, Josh Kantor, went on a Twitter rant about us using a YouTube clip of one of his tunes for our intro. This clip has been in our podcast since 2015. How many times has he reached out to us about pulling this song? Zero times. Is Josh Kantor a clown? Yes, and we discuss this madness at length on today's show. We also talk how Dustin Pedroia's impact on this year's team could be bigger than you think, if now was the right time for Alex Cora to call out E-Rod, a random recap of the madness of 2011's Game 162 sparked by a sit-down Jared recently had with Evan Longoria, your Down in the DM questions and much more. Enjoy!

For the first time in Section 10 Podcast history we are taking your voicemail questions and they are some GEMS! We first talk about Hanley Ramirez signing with the Indians and wonder why he didn't land anywhere last year, suggest that the Red Sox should base the World Series ring size for each player on how much he contributed to the team, honor Nick Cafardo's life after his tragic passing last week, recap the weirdness of Yankee fans flipping out over Troy Tulowitzki flipping out after hitting a spring training home run, how sad it is that the Yankees need to now celebrate extending their average center fielder, and why Drew Pomeranz was actually a hero last year. We then get to your awesome voicemail questions, and close out with Red Sox Lottery and the Maine Question of the Week. Enjoy!

The Red Sox start playing baseball games Friday, Dennis Eckersley just signed a big extension to call a ton more Sox games...it's officially time to party! Today we talk how Jared's spring training trip is going so far including a breakdown of Trevor Bauer's bizarre dating rules, the Manny Machado signing in San Diego and whether we love or hate that kid Yankee fan that lost his mind over it, how pumped we are to have Eck in the booth more and how the radio broadcast is having literally everyone with a pulse call games this year, how much the Sox need to repeat as champions...of the Grapefruit League, and we close with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions. That and much more. Enjoy!

The one and only Brock Holt joins us today to talk about, well everything. First off, shoutout to Brock for being the first 2-time Red Sox player guest in the podcast's history. An enormous accomplishment. We talk with the 2-time World Series champ about whether or not it hurts that he's not even the most recognizable member of his own family, a behind-the-scenes look at his postseason cycle in Yankee Stadium, how much Dustin Pedroia texts him about this upcoming year, how the Sox knew they had something special during that 16-1 BLOWOUT of the Yankees, an update on which Sox player he has the biggest bromance with after all those post-homer hugs with JD, how everyone on the team saw that Aaron Judge 'New York, New York' boombox nonsense and was waiting to troll him with it once they won the series, a funny story about the Chris Sale flip-out in the dugout during the World Series, the exact moment he knew they were going to win the World Series, whether the #FlowBros will ever come back, and how much he loves his relatively new nickname. That and much more on a packed episode today. Enjoy!

We have the one and only Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated on to talk about his MLB Network special titled 'Alex Cora: The Making of a Champion' set to air Tuesday at 9pm on MLB Network. Verducci sat down with Cora and went over his entire life, playing and now coaching career and it's an amazing collection of stories and behind-the-scenes discussion. We also talk to Tom about Curt Schilling's Hall of Fame chances, why he thinks the Red Sox will repeat as World Series champions and much more. Down in the DMs are back as well after a 1-week hiatus so there ya have it, folks. Enjoy!

We debate if Mookie Betts is in fact the best athlete in MLB after winning the MVP and yet another trophy in bowling. We also propose a wild idea for Truck Day that would for sure make it way more entertaining, compare the dominance of the Patriots and the Red Sox this century, and go through a lengthy list of listener questions that's obviously capped off with the Maine Question of the Week. That and much more. Enjoy!

Drew Pomeranz is gone and we are just a bit excited about it. We recap an up and (very) down couple of years for Dwew in Boston, also recap our guy Jarrod Saltalamacchia's time with the Sox after he announced his retirement, talk the addition of Jenrry Mejia even though he was banned from baseball, dig deeper as to what that pic with Brock and Kimbrel might mean, talk David Price trolling Steve on the Twitter machine, break down your suggestions for which Red Sox player would make the best Patriots player, and close with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions. Enjoy!

We've got Red Sox President of Baseball Operations Davey Dombrowski in the BUILDING for a packed episode today. In the interview with Dombrowski we go over what big moves he has had to hold off on, how many of the big Red Sox upcoming free agents he expects to re-sign, how much money he expects Mookie Betts to get once he hits the open market, what it's like dealing with a huge payroll vs. a small payroll and much more. We also recap our 4th trip to Foxwoods for Red Sox Winter Weekend. We're so thankful for the amount of people that were rocking Section 10 gear and that came up to chat and just talk baseball and all sorts of stuff. You guys are truly the greatest! Our behind-the-scenes Winter Weekend breakdown has it all so sit back and enjoy!

We somehow talk ourselves into Bryce Harper signing a 1-year deal with the Sox this year. Just go with it. We also talk Coley's trip to Puerto Rico and a potential Section 10 appearance there in the future, give our expectations for Winter Weekend and discuss some of our favorite moments from past visits to Foxwoods, get a live text update from JD Martinez on whether or not the Drake curse is a real thing, break down what Mookie Betts' record-setting $20M deal for 2019 means for his future with the Sox, and close with our Red Sox Lottery and Down in the DM segments. Enjoy!

Will Craig Kimbrel re-sign with the Red Sox? We don't know, you don't know, and ya mom don't know but we break down the chances we see Dirty Craig back in Boston anyway. We also talk Hubbs hating everything about the Yankees' lack of moves this offseason, how the Tulowitzki addition in the Bronx is laughable, break down a list of your Top 5 current Red Sox players you would want to have a beer with, and close with our Red Sox Lottery and Down in the DM segments. Enjoy!

Yankee fans legitimately think we're scared of their club adding Manny Machado. The same guy that has a career batting average of .147 against the Red Sox starting rotation and did literally nothing against this team in the World Series. Good luck with that. We talk Winter Weekend expectations with the big event at Foxwoods just a short 2 weeks away, if we were sad at all to see David Robertson sign with the Phillies, how people need to be more excited for the potential of Craig Kimbrel returning to the Red Sox, give SeatGeek a big shoutout for being our presenting sponsor for the 2019 season, recap how much we love Red Sox alumni returning to Fenway and close with our Red Sox Lottery and Down in the DM segments.
