Bradfo is MADFO today. Nothing is clicking for the Red Sox right now, including messaging. This timing is horrendous. There is nothing to defend. There is no offense on this team. You are now reliant on the young players who have had nothing in their careers to be the backbone of this team. They are putting too much pressure on Roman Anthony right now. There are no other options to go to. There is no answer as to why Duran is not good right now. It is time to ride this out. There is a chance that this season is salvaged. Bregman situation discussion. What happened to Kutter Crawford?
The Red Sox lineup leaves much to be desired right now. No one is going. Very spotty at best. Why is Duran struggling so much? Cora is back on the hot seat. What is he supposed to do without Devers? He is in hot water right now though with Henry because of the Devers situation. This whole thing is tough to read. He couldn't solve the problems in the clubhouse. Keefe thinks that Breslow will stay but Cora will go in the offseason. None of the prospects are producing at the big league level. They are definitely second guessing everything. Going through the strikeout numbers. The veterans are letting the team down. Bradfo is MADFO today. Nothing is clicking for the Red Sox right now, including messaging. This timing is horrendous.

Kutter Crawford suffered a wrist injury off the field. What was it? Weird sports injuries discussion. If Crawford does not answer how It happened, we have to assume it was a Sloppy Thurston.
What is more likely to happen? Jaylen Brown first team All NBA or is not an all star? Can Jaylen Brown lead his own team? Will Alex Bregman sign with the Sox or will he get traded at the deadline? Ted passionately says NO, he will not get moved. Who have been the leaders of the Red Sox since 2018? Stiz says that Bregman is GONE. He does not trust the organization. Is Alex Cora more likely to get fired or remain as manager until the next World Series championship? Dan thinks Cora will be the president of baseball operations next season. The team loves him. Will the Patriots win 12 or four games?
Pablo Torre goes against the wills of the NFL owners again. What did he find this time? Why does he no longer have a podcast? He better be right. Guaranteed contract discussion. Second round picks now get guaranteed contracts which makes sense. Make it so that everyone gets guaranteed contracts. The other three major sports have them. More likely with Hart What is more likely to happen? Jaylen Brown first team All NBA or is not an all star? Can Jaylen Brown lead his own team?

To end the show, they look at an article saying that Alex Bregman is a potential trade target for teams.
Three Point Stance Fitzy: Traffic is at an all time annoyance. Head on a swivel right now. People leave their cars at the gas pump. Dan: The Red Sox have some roster decisions to make regarding Abreu, Bregman and Yoshida. What are we going do with Campbell? Ted: Red Sox pitching has been great recently. How can it continue to improve? Stiz: The facts of the Karen Read case do NOT add up. She has said different things on different days. He thinks she did it. Why is she allowed to talk on the news? Breaking news: Kristian Campbell has been sent down to AAA, and Dan called it. He needs consistency. Needs to hit where he will hit for the Sox, field where he will field for the Sox and more. Did Rafy's attitude affect his play? Fitzy organizes the infield. Where should the Sox play Story? Stephen A Smith comments on the NBA Finals. Ted says it is hard to take him seriously nowadays. SGA is a game changer.

What role did Cora have in the Devers trade? It appears Henry loves Breslow more than Cora. Who was pushing for Bregman in the offseason? Cora is a weasel.

What are the odds any of these prospects from the Devers trade pan out? Devers was a bad teammate discussion. Tier Tuesday: Red Sox blockbuster trades Pacers Thunder series discussion. Are the Pacers done? Who is the finals MVP? Is it Williams? Do the Celtics have a suitor for Porzingis? Desmond Bane trade talk. We want Derrick White on the team when Tatum comes back.

Why does the Red Sox front office not see eye to eye on Devers playing the field?

Why are the Red Sox waiting so long to call up Roman Anthony?
Former MLB Pitcher Josh Towers and Scott Seidenberg break down the MLB slate of games for Memorial Day This special Memorial Day episode of The Inside Pitch features Scott Seidenberg and former MLB pitcher Josh Towers providing a comprehensive breakdown of the upcoming Monday baseball slate. The podcast focuses on travel dynamics, pitcher performances, betting angles, and how team momentum and logistics influence game outcomes. Central to the discussion is the “Sunday Night Fade”—a strategy of betting against teams that play Sunday night games and must travel before playing again on Monday. Scott cites a 6-1 record with this approach, spotlighting the Dodgers' travel from New York to Cleveland. Josh outlines how travel delays, postgame treatment, and media responsibilities—especially for players like Shohei Otani—can exhaust players, making them vulnerable in early Monday games. Josh and Scott discuss Otani's homer against Kodai Senga, noting it was the first Senga allowed since Opening Day. They analyze the Dodgers-Guardians matchup: Gavin Williams has a strong home record (3-1, 3.40 ERA), but struggles at night (5.09 ERA), while Yamamoto has a 1.00 ERA overall and has not yet pitched in a day game. Despite Yamamoto's strength, Josh is cautious, citing fatigue from travel as a factor. In Mets vs. White Sox, the Mets are favored. Hauser is unreliable (5.00 ERA in the minors), and the White Sox are 5-21 on the road. Clay Holmes has been strong for the Mets but is nearing workload limits. The duo leans Mets on the run line. Tarek Skubal's dominant performance (13 Ks in a 9-inning shutout) leads into Tigers-Giants. Keiter Montero's poor control (13 BB in 30 IP) makes backing the Giants appealing despite Hayden Birdsong's inexperience. Red Sox-Brewers is another key game. Boston's offense has faltered without Bregman, while Crochet has been elite. Chad Patrick has been solid at home. Josh and Scott prefer a first-five under wager, given offensive struggles. Cubs vs. Rockies is heavily skewed toward the Cubs, with Palmquist's disastrous starts (9 ER in 8 IP, 7 BB) making a run-line play likely. Eric Fedde (Cardinals) is steady, while Charlie Morton (Orioles) has had a volatile season. Despite recent rebound, Morton's early performances were poor, and the line favoring Baltimore is puzzling. In Rangers vs. Blue Jays, both deGrom and Gausman are top-tier arms. Toronto has scored just two runs in three games, and Texas' offense is struggling. Josh and Scott prefer the under, particularly a no-run first inning (Nerf-y) play. Royals vs. Reds also presents a Nerf-y opportunity: Lorenzen is 10-0 to the Nerf-y, and Chris Booback has a 1.45 ERA with 70 Ks in 68 innings. In Rays vs. Twins, Josh praises Tampa's momentum, especially with lineup depth like Chandler Simpson batting seventh. Paddock's 5.19 road ERA and vulnerability in early innings make Tampa appealing. However, Scott warns of fading the Rays later due to a back-loaded road-heavy schedule. Pirates-Diamondbacks features Heaney (8-2 Nerf-y) vs. Ryan Nelson, whose inconsistency and starter-reliever toggling limit trust. Another Nerf-y opportunity is noted. Padres-Marlins showcases Vasquez's steady performances against Weathers, who's shown flashes but is prone to walks and home runs. Yankees vs. Angels sees Yarbrough returning to form, while Kocanowicz has erratic command (20+ walks in 5 starts). Josh recommends betting Yankees and possibly on Kocanowicz's walk prop. The discussion shifts to the mound in Sacramento. Zach Wheeler complained about mound hardness affecting pitch delivery. Scott theorizes high elevation in pitches might stem from poor footing. Josh stresses that pros must adjust, though he criticizes coaches like Minnesota's, who lack firsthand pitching experience and can't offer adjustment strategies. The show ends with a promo code "DAY20" for 20% off at pregame.com and a reminder to enjoy the holiday with plenty of daytime baseball and solid betting opportunities.

Seth and Sean discuss if the Astros dodged a bullet in Alex Bregman leaving now that he has a quad injury like he did in 2021, give credit in Acknowledge Me, and react to Channing Crowder outlining just how in-charge Jordon Hudson was when he had Bill Belichick on the Pivot podcast.

We're told from a young age to achieve. Get good grades. Get into a good school. Get a good job. Be ambitious about earning a high salary or a high-status position. Some of us love this endless climb. But lots of us, at least once in our lives, find ourselves asking, "What's the point of all this ambition?"Historian and author Rutger Bregman doesn't think there is a point to that kind of ambition. Instead, he wants us to be morally ambitious, to measure the value of our achievements based on how much good we do, by how much we improve the world. In this episode, Bregman speaks with guest host Sigal Samuel about how to know if you're morally ambitious, the value of surrounding yourself with like-minded people, and how to make moral ambition fashionable. Host: Sigal Samuel, Vox senior reporter Guest: Rutger Bregman, historian, author of Moral Ambition, and co-founder of The School for Moral Ambition Listen to The Gray Area ad-free by becoming a Vox Member: vox.com/members Show Notes Vox's Good Robot series can be found here: Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 (discusses the "drowning child thought experiment" and effective altruism) Episode 4 Learn more about your ad choices.
