We’re back and yes, we’re still watching Red Sox games. The Red Sox got swept by the Blue Jays but who cares? If you want to hear about that series you can skip to the third hour of this podcast. Today we have Will Middlebrooks on the pod to talk about his time in the booth, learning from Eck, teaching Wacha his best pitch, the 2013 Championship team, and endless stories from his time as a player. It goes without saying that we’d all like to see more of Will next year both in the booth and as a guest on the Name Redacted Pod. If there was ever an episode to make you forget about the current state of the Red Sox and reminisce on better times, it’s this one. Enjoy!
