Podcasts about Boston Red Sox

Ken Laird joins the show. He explains how he has ended up calling a Red Sox spring training game this year and he tries out a few potential home run calls.

The crew listen back to the best Hill Notes of the day. How they think Ken will do calling a Sox game, if Tatum will return and how to pick the perfect baby name.

Hour 4 - Ken Laird joins to practice some home run calls ahead of his big day. Hill notes weigh in on the heated debate surrounding the name of Coco's baby. Can Tatum just make a decision already?

The crew react to the resignation of Tony Clark in the MLB. They also debate what the deal is with Tatum's possible return.

Its a wild story of Tony Clark resigning as MLBPA for an inappropriate relationship, but don't think the timing of it just happened to be before arguably the biggest CBA negotiations in baseball history.

Despite the bad PR from Sam Kennedy and the Red Sox front office, it actually turned out to be a good offseason from Boston with the starting rotation reinforcements and focus on defense.

The Yankees' slugger speaks out about his frustrations about the offseason, two big fighting returns, and the odd interaction between Michael Jordan and the Daytona 500 winner's son in the Arcand Fire.

Revisiting the Red Sox conversation of Tom Werner discussing his roster going into 2026 without Alex Bregman. Is it really crazy to call where Spring Training is being played a reason to leave? Then, the Arcand Fire features a conversation about what on earth Michael Jordan was doing at the Daytona 500 while producer Joe Braverman and Christian make a little wager regarding the return of Jayson Tatum. And, the Milan Olympics are going through a big condom shortage in Clickbait.

In tonight's Headlines, Jayson Tatum added more fuel to the fire on his return with a documentary trailer which is starting to get annoying. Also, should the Patriots be in on signing Tyreek Hill? Then, playing what ifs with the Patriots if they had a different postseason run and saluting the hero who subdued the shooter in Pawtucket during the New England Nightly News. And, the Red Sox rather than criticize missing power in their lineup have doubled down on their potential which has a very high chance to backfire.

With Tony Clark resigning from his position as MLBPA, baseball fans better start prepping for the impending lockout. Is there anything that could change that fortune? Then, Ryan Cochran-Siegle joins the show after winning a silver medal in the Men's Super-G at the Milan Olympics. And, the US Men's hockey team and Canada seem to be on a crash course, but don't overlook the next game against Sweden.

Its time to start looking towards the start of baseball season, but Sam Kennedy and company took a step back by relitigating the past regarding Alex Bregman. What kind of bullets is Kennedy taking now after saying Bregman should be here if he wanted to be? Then, Tom Werner gave his thoughts too and was saying everything right about Devers and expectations and then echoed the sentiment about Bregman. And, a look back at NBA All Star Weekend and a rough one on the court for Jaylen Brown.
