Section 10 Podcast

The Red Sox were down to their last out until BANG...JD Martinez refused to lose. Today we talk how important wins like that are if you want to be a legitimate contender, why that Jays team and park are an absolute joke, Hyun-Jin Ryu being the most boring starter ever that has a sub-3 career ERA, that Jays closer wanting absolutely nothing to do with closing games, JD proving he has been the MVP of this team and maybe the league, that boy Bobby Dalbec heating up, figuring out what Tony La Russa actually did when he was with the Red Sox, why we don't have any sort of relationship with John Henry, how much this team bangs, a schedule lookahead to this Phillies series, a Live Show update and much more. Enjoy!

The Red Sox lost the last game of that Angels series, but we have multiple reasons why that shouldn't actually count as a loss. Today we talk the end of Sunday's game being bogus, break down the vibe of Fenway right now as it slowly comes back to normal, the wild way we will prevent Michael Chavis from swinging at high fastballs, the date for our live show at Kowloon, Mike Trout being insanely overrated, if you would rather have Trout or Ohtani on this Sox team right now, how badly they need a camera that shows you if a ball is fair or foul down the right field line at Fenway, time zones being bananas, Yankees Suck chants needing some tweaking, who in this rotation we trust the least right now, Matt Andriese being in danger of losing his nickname, a Jacoby Ellsbury debate and of course the schedule lookahead for this Blue Jays series this week. That and much more. Enjoy!

Garrett Richards has been dominant since saying he wasn't used to wearing a jacket, and we love to see that. Today we talk why that A's series wasn't as bad as it's being made out to be for the Sox, the core of this lineup being too good to have extended slumps, the Ice Horse bringing some much-needed energy, knowing when Xander is going to go off based on how upset he was in the postgame presser the night before, why Mookie gets more national attention now vs. when he was in Boston, how many actual "JBJ would have had it" moments there have been this season, how awesome Polar Park looks and credit to them for fitting 95,000 people in there, wanting Jarred Duran to be on the Red Sox ASAP, if we expect Garrett Richards to keep up this pace, a lookahead to this series with the Angels and a full reaction to that fan getting clocked in the face at Coors Field. That and much more. Enjoy!

The Red Sox just won 3 outta 4 in Baltimore and are STILL the best team in Major League Baseball. Today we talk why Xander Bogaerts is better than Mookie Betts right now, why the Sox obviously lost on purpose on Monday out of respect for how much May 10th Day means to Baltimore, if that Hunter Renfroe blast will be the longest Red Sox homer by the end of the season, if Chaim would ever consider making a deal for Craig Kimbrel, why that weird Xander play Monday shouldn't have been a triple, what the hell to do with Austin Brice and Josh Taylor, a very specific Section 10 shirt request that may or may not include tangerines, a lookahead to this series with the A's and why tonight's start for Eovaldi is a huge one, latest thoughts on if Kumar Rocker will actually end up in Boston, no-hitters losing their sizzle and much more. Enjoy!

The Red Sox almost lost a series to the Detroit Tigers...but they didn't. Today we talk how everyone needs to take a deep breath and ride the wave of the 2021 Red Sox season, why Franchy Cordero is the greatest leadoff hitter in Red Sox history, Danny Santana getting his feet back after having both of them amputated, why Jarren Duran struggling to start the Woo Sox season is a good thing, which hitter at the bottom of the lineup will heat up soon, that loss in the second game of the series feeling worse than normal, the Tigers wanting to get swept so bad in that series, why fielding doesn't matter at all, knowing we're in the wrong if we disagree with Stats, how Xander Bogaerts has literally never done anything to make us upset, why it's ok that Miggy is clearly sticking around to hit some big milestones, how good it is that the games feel like they actually matter again, why the Sox are about to unload on the Orioles, if Albert Pujols is the best player in baseball since his debut in 2001 and we close with your phenomenal Down in the DM questions. Enjoy!

The Red Sox have started 17-10 after we called they would have that exact record in MID-MARCH! Today we talk this incredible accomplishment by the Sox, what we will remember most about 17-10 Night in Texas, how it actually sneaky felt like they won the World Series with all the intensity on Twitter with us and the listeners, the last out being identical to the last out of the 2004 World Series, how funny it would be if Brock Holt had a huge hit in the game on Sunday that definitely hadn't happened yet when we recorded this episode, what the Red Sox should change their name to, exactly how bad Franchy Cordero has been so far, if it will be time to call up Jarren Duran sooner rather than later, a lookahead to the Sox schedule this week and much more. Enjoy!

The Red Sox basically have the best record in baseball and everyone is scared of them now. Today we talk Garrett "The Yellow Jacket" Richards shutting everyone up with that dominant outing in Queens, which Richards stat we were most stunned with on Tuesday, Pete Alonso having no business whining about a quick pitch by Matty Backpacks, Bobby Dalbec getting that first ding dong out of the way, Jacob deGrom continuing to have no success against the Sox, if Josh Beckett is a top 3 Red Sox pitcher we've seen in our lives when at his peak, the bullpen continuing to prove it's legit, how the Sox will need to keep winning games like this throughout the season, laughing at the Yankees again for giving the Sox Garrett Whitlock for free, why Adam Ottavino is no scrub, Josh Taylor and Austin Brice being lacrosse players, what the Sox should do with Franchy Cordero and if it's too soon to call up Jarren Duran, rooting for a Red Sox loss tonight and win tomorrow to hit that 17-10 April record we predicted a month ago, coming up with a nickname for Nick Pivetta and shouting out his postgame clip saying he has the mindset that he's just as good as deGrom, most of Chaim's moves making him look good so far, Marwin not needing to do much at the plate with how dominant he's been in the field and much more. Enjoy!

Eduardo Rodriguez is back to his peak form and that is HUGE for this Red Sox team. Today we talk the dominance of the Sox when Eddie is on the mound, when it's ok to get worried that they trail to start basically every game, our biggest concerns with this team since the 9-game winning streak, if the AL East sucks or not, why Alex Verdugo might actually be the face of the Sox, Devers mic'd up being pure gold, Christian Arroyo playing through a billion injuries, if we have ever gotten emotional at Fenway, how to correctly pronounce Eovaldi, a lookahead to the remaining schedule this month and how realistic 17-10 actually is right now, some Cheeky Monkey bar shoutouts and much more. Enjoy!

Garrett Richards was terrible in the series finale against the Jays and we talk about that a lot. Today we break down how many more of these kind of stinkers Richards can have until a change in the rotation needs to be made, why his postgame comments (slash excuses) on not being ready for the conditions and needing a jacket just aren't gonna fly here, if Sox fans dislike Richards or Josh Taylor more right now, sensing the big Dalbec moment is around the corner, how cool it is to remember the Sox have the 4th pick in the draft and if we think there's any chance Kumar Rocker falls to them with that pick. We then talk with the VerduGo Red Sox sign guy Greg Martens on his wild stories about getting drunk at games in the 70s and sitting with local celebrities, why he became such a big Verdugo fan, a full breakdown of catching his home run and how special that moment was and why this is all a great sign for this specific Red Sox team. We wrap with some more Richards talk and if Patrick Mahomes would ever come on the podcast. That and much more. Enjoy!

The fan that made the VerduGo Red Sox sign and then caught a Verdugo homer is an absolute legend. Today we talk all of our thoughts on viral fans and how this guy is gonna be hard to top by any Red Sox fan this year, if we dropped the ball by not having him on as a guest, whether we still have any concerns about Tunnel Time, who on this roster has been a pleasant surprise, Bobby Dalbec heating up while also being unlucky, how Tony La Russa and the White Sox basically gave up on Monday after Lucas Giolito got destroyed, why the Red Sox are basically undefeated, the Balloons being epically bad and why that likely won't change any time soon, if Garrett Whitlock can maintain this dominance, the key change Matt Barnes has made with his approach this season, Don Orsillo making that Dodgers-Padres series even better and much more. Enjoy!
