Podcast appearances and mentions of Craig Breslow

There's only 90 minutes for Christian to complain about everything that went wrong for the Red Sox in their non-competitive Wild Card Series with the Yankees. Were the decisions Chad Tracy made with the bullpen really interchanged with Craig Breslow or were the calls all him? Then, between Sonny Gray's numbers the third time through an order and the struggles Erik Miller had been having, pulling Gray for Miller is more baffling than pulling Payton Tolle for Miller. And, the two outside veterans Gray and Willson Contreras seemed the most upset with the Sox strategy which could lead to an even longer offseason with the lockout included.

Brian recaps the Red Sox's ugly loss to the Yankees that ends their season, including some more extremely questionable decisions by Sox manager Chad Tracy (0:00). Then, Brian digs a bit deeper into the team's roster flaws, why they've been able to produce enough offense in the postseason, and what Craig Breslow needs to do to fix the problems (13:50). Brian and Jamie end with some final thoughts on the Sox's season (37:40). We want to hear from you! Leave Brian a message on the listener line at 617-396-7172.

Scheim starts off the leads this morning by shedding some light on Boston sports with the start of some Bruins hockey. He believes they're a good team, just not a great team yet. Curtis then is upset with Craig Breslow and puts the blame on his for pulling Payton Tolle out of last nights game.

The Greg Hill Show kicks off today with all their reactions to the Red Sox loss against the Yankees. How much of the blame goes to offense? Were you satisfied with Payton Tolle and Chad Tracy? Curtis is starting to point fingers at Craig Breslow while Courtney is getting a headache from the batting. And Greg points out that schools want to ban Halloween parades for kids.

Rich ken and ted discuss the decision to pull rookie star pitcher from his start last night. Was Chad Tracy is Craig Breslow the one pushing the buttons in the bullpen?

Episode 186 of Tablesetters is LIVE! Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s brutal 2026 season is becoming one of the biggest stories in baseball, especially with the first year of his $500 million extension going this badly. The Blue Jays are on the verge of elimination, Guerrero's production has fallen off dramatically and his recent comments about the contract and fan support have only added another layer to what has already been a massively disappointing year in Toronto. We get into the numbers behind Vlad's collapse, including his 92 OPS+, nine home runs, .359 slugging percentage and 1.3 WAR after posting 4.6 WAR last season. Coming into 2026, Guerrero owned a career OPS+ of 136, so this has not been a minor step backward. Toronto committed to him through 2039 expecting him to remain one of the pillars of the franchise, and right now he is not producing anywhere close to that level. His recent comments make the situation even more interesting. Guerrero said he views the contract as being based on what he had already accomplished rather than necessarily what he will do going forward, while also referring to the people still supporting him through the struggles as his “real fans.” We get into why those comments are going to rub people the wrong way when they are coming from a player with this kind of financial commitment attached to him and this kind of production on the field. Elsewhere, the Tampa Bay Rays are officially AL East champions and have secured the No. 1 seed in the American League. After everything Tampa Bay has gone through over the last two seasons, this might be one of the more impressive years the organization has put together. We get into Drew Rasmussen's huge performance in the clincher, Yandy Díaz continuing to deliver and why this Rays team deserves plenty of attention heading into October. The Yankees have a much different problem. Aaron Judge's latest injury could keep him out of the Wild Card Series, leaving New York with another massive question at the worst possible time. The Yankees have survived without Judge for long stretches already, but surviving a three-game postseason series without him is an entirely different conversation. We also get into the MLB playoff picture with the final weekend almost here. There are still American League division races that could come down to the wire, multiple National League teams trying to officially punch their tickets and some potentially incredible Wild Card matchups starting to appear. Yankees-Red Sox in a best-of-three? Yeah, sign us up. Shohei Ohtani is also returning to the Dodgers lineup just in time for October, and Los Angeles suddenly has several important pieces getting healthy at once. We break down what Ohtani's return means, the other reinforcements arriving around him and some interesting roster and lineup decisions the Dodgers have to make before the postseason begins. What's the Word? returns with three different statements. Did Boston see enough from Chad Tracy to remove the interim tag and commit to both him and Craig Breslow long term? Are the Mets making the right move by sticking with Andy Green after a massively disappointing season? And just how concerned should Toronto be about what has happened to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. in the first year of his $500 million extension? Plus, we're Coming Around 3rd with everything we're watching during the final weekend of the regular season. Division races, Wild Card scenarios, huge pitching matchups, scoreboard watching and a loaded Sunday afternoon where almost everything will be happening at once. By the time the dust settles, we should finally know exactly what October baseball is going to look like.

They Said It includes Craig Breslow wanting to stick with Chad Tracy and were the Seahawks being accused of cheating?!
