Insoxicated (Red Sox Podcast)

We suck yo! This team is rough right now. They just lost 2 out of 3 to the Baltimore Orioles!! What is that shit?! Bogaerts, Martinez, Devers, they’re alright. Res of the offense?? Basically non existent. The pitching has been alright but it isn’t consistent enough. It’s just been a sucky start dudes

Alright I know I’ve been gone awhile but that’s ok. I just wanted to give the season some time before I really started looking at numbers. And boy did it hurt to look at numbers. The Red Sox offense has been absolutely horrible through 17 games this season. I get it. 17 games. Aren’t I overreacting? And the answer of course is yes but that’s what I’m here to do. Xander Bogaerts has an empty average, Trevor Story is OPSing in the .500s, Rafael Devers and Alex Verdugo are the only guys with more than one home run. We are closer to last place than we are first!! Can’t be doing that in the AL East, my dudes. Anyways, as always, enjoy the rants, stay safe, stay stoney, and go Sox!

This definitely wasn’t the best way to start off the new MLB season. The Red Sox dropped 2 out of 3 to the Yankees in New York as the bats just couldn’t get it going at the right times. The pitching this series was alright and kept the Sox in it but the same can’t be said for the offense. Listen as I rant about the series, lack of offense, we preview the Detroit Tigers series coming up, and we talk about other cool things that happened around the league including Shohei Ohtani smacking a ball 119 miles an hour and a 20 year old Japanese pitcher named Roki Sasaki who just threw the first perfect game in the NPB since 1994.

All the other MLB podcasts are focused on the whole landscape of the game so why not take a second to focus in on our team? Today we’re previewing the Red Sox starting lineup for the 2022 season. They were a force last year and I really think the addition of Trevor Story makes them so much better. He’s a power speed combo we haven’t had since Mookie Bette. Yeah, I said it. Is he the next Mookie? Of course no! But he definitely helps the Red Sox lineup this year. Listen to hear my thoughts on how I think everyone is going to line up at the beginning of the year and towards the end.

Baseball is back, baby! The players and owners agreed on a new CBA and the lockout is over! A lot of exciting things have happened in the last couples weeks. The Braves traded for Matt Olson, Dodgers sign Freddie Freeman, Twins sign Carlos Correa, Blue Jays trade for Matt Chapman, the Yankees doing absolutely nothing and to top it all off our Boston Red Sox signed Trevor Story to a six year, $140 million and I am stoked! This is gonna be a fun year and this is a fun episode! Enjoy, homies!

Baseball is dead. There’s the gist of the news outta the week’s worth of meetings they had. This episode starts with a ten minute rant about those very bogus meetings and then we have a fun segment called “High” Chance of That where we get a little Stoney baloney and make up some fun trade proposals. Today we’re trying to snag Juan Soto. Can we? Let’s find out

Today we’re looking at whether or not the Red Sox should sign multi time all star shortstop, Trevor Story. We’re taking an in depth look at his offensive numbers, both counting and analytical, how the defensive metrics look at him, and what value he can bring on the base paths. Absolute beast of a ball player who’s going to get an absolute beast of a pay day. Should it be from the Red Sox? Listen and find out!

With still no news on the lockout front, we’re making up our own topics! Today we’re looking at the state of the Red Sox rotation as it stands right now going in to the 2022 season and uhhh… it isn’t too promising. Check it out to here my thoughts on our projected five, my concerns, and who we can get to really solidify this staff. Got anything baseball you wanna say? Make sure to follow @InsoxicatedPod on Twitter. That’s where I’m most active

We’re taking a nice look into what we have to look forward to on the starting rotation side of things come regular season time and oh boy lemme tell ya it ain’t our strongest group. We go over basic numbers of our projected guys, what concerns I have, and just my general confusion by ownerships thinking so far. Enjoy
