Six to go. Playoff odds are over 90%. We are waiting, observing, nooticing.

Ian is back from Italy after a less than stellar week of baseball. The As, the Rays, the Red Sox grounding into double plays.

You gotta wonder if we have it, especially getting ready to face the Blue Jays and the Tigers. We asked for meaningful September baseball, and the monkey paw curls.

Hopefully we'll see you in October.

No Ian this week, but Jack brings in Will and Steve from Yankees files over a cross over episode!

The weekend might have not gone the Red Sox way, but they still won the season series. We go over a wide range of topics about each team including the MVP race, wild card matchups, hall of fame discussion and more!

Welcome back to another episode of NASP! It was a weird week of baseball with lots of inquires, but we somehow went 3-3.

The playoff stretch is in full force and we are just begging the Red Sox to not blow this the last few weeks of the season.

Losing Roman Anthony really sucks and you could instantly tell the difference between him on the team vs off.

Plus a fun little game of who you would make a baseball team out of from band members.

This was a fun week in Red Sox baseball. All good things, all good things. Except Jordan Hicks and losing to the Pirates.

Payton Tolle has arrived. He's a shover. 8ks in 5.1IP is as much as you could ask for. I'm glad the developers took their time with this one.

Jack admits to having the tingles. He thinks this is a special team. It might be love.

Are we, pause for effect, playoff bound?

Nothing tastes worse than Orioles losses. Nothing tastes better than Yankee tears. 27 rings can't stand up to the awesome might of a dozen semi-drunk, bearded, Irish baseball fans.

First, stop leaving the bases loaded against the Orioles. Stop it. Stop leaving the bases loaded in general, really. You're the Red Sox. Start acting like it.

Anyway, the Twitter gang took New York City. We were in person to watch Garrett Crochet put the Yankees to bed and strike out Aaron Judge for his 200th K this season. Ask me if it gets better than that.

It does actually. There was a Yankees fan behind us who we escorted out after watching Paul Blackburn collapse.

The Red Sox have a lot of promising up-and-comers. What does it look like when a prospect transverses the gap to the major leagues? Hunter Noll has a lot to say about who we should be looking at in the coming years.

This week in Red Sox baseball was lackluster. Crochet got knocked around for the first time in his Red Sox tenure. We lost a game to the Marlins in embarrassing fashion. Truthfully, don't we all wish the Red Sox could have done better than 3/6 this week.

It is still a competitive team, and it will become a more competitive team in the years to come. At least, that is the consensus from our prospect eye-in-the-sky Hunter Noll.

We wanted four wins, we got three. Mid. Average. Pedestrian. The Royals? A cake walk. Garrett Crochet? Good. Dustin May? New. Jordan Hicks? Come on.

We knew we had to beat the Royals, you just needed to keep the lid on Booby Witt and the Pasquatch. We aren't quite sure why they bought at the deadline, but hey, not our ball club.

Then, the Padres. Almost embarrassing. Plenty of classic Red Sox mistakes. Failure to capitalize on opportunities. Opportunities to WIN. But, is Buehler heading in the right direction? One can only hope.

Also, amazing what the Yankees facial hair policy reversal has done to their relievers. Be real funny if they...reversed it.

As of today, August 6, in the year of our Lord 2025, Roman Anthony has been extended to an 8-year, $130MM contract. It could go up to $230MM if he wins MVP every year between now and 2034 which, honestly, he might.

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie. But somebody had to land the plane.

Remember when there was that rain delay and we all went to bed and woke up with an L from the Twins? Well Twin city showers bring 5-win flowers! After Jordan Hicks returned to his slumber after the rain delay, the Red Sox spent the week winning baseball games.

After beating the Twins, nothing happened in between. Nothing. Shutup.

Then what? The Astros must be in love they way we swept them off their feet! Never expected that. This team's got guts. Gumption. Moxie.

The 2025 Red Sox Trade Deadline is like in Friends when Ross goes to get Rachel off the plane but in this version Rachel already got on the plane and left.

We are joined by WEEI host Joe Weil. Joe provides a lot of perspective on today's events or lack thereof. Somehow we are all in agreement that this is still a competitive team.

That being said, the fanbase is deflated. This is not the "decisive and aggressive" we were promised. Hopefully the Red Sox inability to execute Plan A does not become a pattern. And I hope their hot dog sales plummet. I will be bringing my own spaghetti to the ballpark from now on.

The Red Sox trade acquisitions this year were Dodgers starting pitcher DUSTIN MAY and Cardinals relief pitcher STEVEN MATZ.
