Section 10 Podcast

We're only 5 games into the season and it's very clear that this Red Sox team is going to finish the year 161-1. We open talking how unreliable Jim Buchanan has been so far, with a hint at why he blew the Opening Day game. This leads to a full breakdown of the bullpen, the Sox implementing the Fortnite celebrations, a Xander Bogaerts debate, Fuckin with Hubbs featuring a full critique of Giancarlo Stanton's moronic home run call, and Andrew Benintendi needing to dump his girlfriend immediately. We close with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions and a brand new segment!

Guys, we made it. Red Sox regular season baseball is finally here. LET'S GO! We start by introducing Coley Mick as a weekly guest of the podcast. Feits will still be on the show but alternating with Coley as we give you 2 shows a week once the season starts. This brings us to Swaggy D, Deven Marrero, being traded to the D-Backs and how that changes the outlook of the infield. We then talk Chris Sale getting hit by a comebacker but being just fine, Xander Bogaerts getting ripped this spring, Andrew Benintendi getting wifed up and how the reaction this got was even bigger than the Sox landing JD Mahtin-ez, and then it's season predictions time. What do we expect from the starting rotation, especially David Price? Biggest surprise on this team? Biggest concern? And then some tough over/under's. As always we close with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions.

We are joined by Barstool's newest employee, formerly from Boston Sports Tonight on NBC Sports Boston and a ton of other stuff: Kayce Smith. We open talking how the regular season has somehow snuck up on us, discuss whether Aaron Judge should be banned for 2018 after tampering harder than anyone has ever tampered, and talk the Pedro GIF this week that proved hitting a baseball is physically impossible. We then get into the Kayce Smith interview, talking how she ended up in Boston, her experiences at CSN doing Boston Sports Tonight, how she handled the Boston sports media scene, her biggest influence while at CSN, why she chose to join Barstool, and close with her predictions for this upcoming Red Sox season. We close out the show talking the importance of David Price this season, if we expect the Sox starting rotation to stay healthy, and finish off with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions.

Spring training was super awesome for all of 5 days, it's time for some real baseball. We open the show with some big time gripes before getting into how long this spring training has felt and how nothing of major relevance has happened over the last week, Aneury Tavarez being the frontrunner for 2018 AL MVP, debate how many players in the Red Sox farm system an average fan needs to know, how Hubbs has a crush on Jared, and how Jared was for sure a little buzzed at work today. We then close, as always, with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions.

For this episode we are joined by special guest Pete Blackburn, aka Petey Analytics, aka Petey Platinums, aka that short kid. Lot of topics to get to as we start off with David Ortiz quote tweeting our promo last week, how often Papi is actually tweeting from his account, briefly talk Oscars and give Red Sox actor comps, and Red Sox lineup projections. We then discuss the biggest offseason topic of debate and that is (of course) whether or not the Yankees will release Giancarlo Stanton. This leads us to Jared being upset with twitter clowns again, if Blake Swihart will actually make this club, Yawkey Way name change suggestions from our listeners, and we close with your phenomenal Down in the DMs.

It took a week but here we are, JD Martinez...aka Jumbo Dong Martinez...aka JD Mahtin-ez is officially a member of the Boston Red Sox. We open with Jared being pissed that zero reporters asked JD about that report that he was getting frustrated with negotiations and would "rather sign with another club." We then talk which Red Sox starter right now is least likely to be on the team in 2020 (including JD), who on this team actually has thick skin, how Hanley has been an absolute quote machine this week and even tossed us an RT, a quick debate on how many homers Papi would hit if he came back this year, Fuckin with Hubbs segment that becomes a bit of a feud, and talk about the new Red Sox player that could win MVP this year. This leads us to our interview with Evan Drellich of NBC Sports Boston. We open with how he has made history by becoming the first 3-time guest on the show, we then dive into why the JD Martinez deal was held up, what the new negotiations mean for him and the Red Sox moving forward, if there is controversy surrounding the Red Sox training staff, and then Drellich hangs up on us after we ask him the hardest question known to man. We then close with your phenomenal Down in the DMs.

THE TIME HAS COME! J.D. Martinez is on the Red Sox and it finally feels like the baseball season is officially here. We break down every aspect of this J.D. deal including how much we love the contract itself, Yankees fans already getting defensive about the move, how much pressure this will take off the rest of the lineup, if J.D. being an oppo-heavy hitter is a problem, why we should have expected this move was inevitably going to happen, and a unique debate on why Alex Cora already had Martinez's No. 28. This leads us to our originally recorded (pre-J.D.) podcast. We talk how Cora has already changed the vibe around the Red Sox, if David Price could become fully-likeable in Boston, why no one is talking about Hanley Ramirez, what it means to this club to bring Eduardo Nunez back, and close with your Down in the DM awesomeness.

Guys, the Red Sox are like throwing baseballs around and doing baseball stuff. LET'S GO! But, with pitchers and catchers reporting in Fort Myers today we are sadly still talking about the Red Sox vs. J.D. Martinez, shocker we know. We open debating the legitimacy of the report that J.D. is fed up with the Red Sox 'inflexibility' and he would rather sign with another club, talk if this potential quote would make things awkward if he signs with the Red Sox, and what other offers J.D. may have on the table. Then it's time to let you know that yes, the Red Sox could still win the AL East even if they don't sign J.D. Martinez. That is followed by the best possible path for the Sox to make a run deep into October this year, how insane and yet oddly expected it would be for the Red Sox to sign Logan Morrison and make you think that's actually a big move, if we're through with JBJ or not, and close with your phenomenal Down in the DMs.

Now folks, we don't want you to be thrown off by that title. What Truck Day represents is what we love, we just think the actual "event" of Truck Day is extremely stupid. Anyway we start off talking how dumb Truck Day is, give a shoutout to our boy Wally, the Red Sox making a HUGE signing by bringing minor league Aneury Tavarez back, how people actually debated this guy's relevance with Jared on the Twitter machine, get into George A. King III getting blasted by Section 10 followers on Twitter, "Raffy Big Stick" making it onto a Devers baseball card, what Betts winning his arbitration case means for the Sox moving forward with Mookie, talk how awful the offseason continues to be, MLB absolutely needing to bring back bullpen carts, and we close with your phenomenal Down in the DMs.

Here we have the 2nd half of our Pedro Martinez episode. We open talking Pedro's phenomenal 17-strikeout performance at Yankee Stadium late in the 1999 season, we then discuss the ups and downs of Pedro's 2004 season, how he shockingly still finished 4th in AL Cy Young voting that year, and we debate who had a better career between Pedro and Clemens. This leads us to the "Who's your daddy?" portion of the show. Steve shares his story of going to Yankee Stadium for ALCS Game 2 in 2004 and how those chants will never be louder and we may never experience that hostility in the Stadium or Fenway ever again, we mix in A-Rod's antics from the 2004 ALCS and how wild it is that we prefer A-Rod now. We talk whether we'd be able to pick Karim Garcia out of a crowd today, how Pedro got screwed with the Hall of Fame voting percentage, the classic fights and brawls that Martinez started, the story behind how he wanted to fuck Sandra Bullock, the importance of "Pedro Day," and we close out our 2-part series with what moment first comes to mind when we hear the name Pedro Martinez. This was awesome.
