Hunter Noll interviews two Boston Red Sox prospects, left-handed pitcher Jeremy Wu-Yelland (No. 50 on Sox Prospects) and first baseman Blaze Jordan (No. 38).In his interviews, he asks Wu-Yelland about his call-up story to Double-A Portland before they get into his part in multiple no-hitters, his time at the University of Hawaii and his adjustment to the Sea Dogs from a routine standpoint and the locker room.As for Jordan, they talk about his improved eye at the plate, as he's drawing walks at a much higher rate and also hitting the ball harder. The two discuss his potentially clearer path to the big leagues with the Red Sox due to Triston Casas' injury as well as Blaze's assumed leadership role as a veteran of Portland.Later, Blaze confirms the Mikey Romero attack on his poker skill, admitting to using a cheat sheet.Make sure to follow us on Twitter, @ThePeskyReport. We are officially a part of Beyond The MonsterTwitter: @BeyondtheMnstrSubstack: https://beyondthemonster.substack.com/

The American sailing vessel Adriatic collided with the French steamship Le Lyonnais on November 2, 1856, off the coast of Nantucket in what can best be described as a maritime hitand-run. Adriatic's captain, Jonathan Durham, rendered no aid and left the passenger steamship to fend for herself. 114 people died in the collision and in the days that followed. In August of 2024, Jennifer Sellitti, her partner Joe Mazraani, and a team of explorers discovered, dived, and identified the wreckage of Lyonnais on the eastern edges of Georges Bank. The book includes an epilogue that chronicles what it takes to chase shipwrecks far from shore in the often-punishing North Atlantic, the search for and discovery of Le Lyonnais, and how it changed their lives. Author of "The Adriatic Affair: A Maritime Hit and Run off the Coast of Nantucket" and part of the team that discovered the wreck of Le Lyonnais, Jennifer Sellitti joins me as my guest.

The Princess Sophia was a Canadian passenger steamship that tragically sank on October 25, 1918, after striking Vanderbilt Reef in Lynn Canal near Juneau, Alaska. Caught in a severe snowstorm with strong winds and poor visibility, the ship ran aground and was unable to be evacuated due to worsening weather. Despite rescue ships waiting nearby, conditions prevented any safe transfer of passengers. When the storm intensified, the Princess Sophia broke apart and sank, killing all 353 people on board, making it the worst maritime disaster in the history of the Pacific Northwest.

Red Sox Netflix docuseries review. Do we like it, do we hate it? What Jarren Duran did was honorable. He is covered at length in this series. Even his parents are in it. He is literally saving lives by doing this series. Suit talk. Keefe says that there were some good moments, but at the same time, knowing the outcome of the season, it's weird. What was with the mud stuff? The Sea Dogs manager was electric. No Kristian Campbell references whatsoever. The trade deadline episode was interesting. Who was the guy in the room during the trade scenes? Breslow is a nerd. Friday Four Pack! Top five non five major sports events. Jones likes tennis? Keefe is a big wrestling fan. Also he loves the World Cup. No UFC?

In 1588, the dreaded Spanish Armada is coming closer and closer. It's up to the Queen’s Sea Dogs and navy to stop them, but will they succeed in convincing Queen Elizabeth that such action is necessary? And when the Spanish ships finally arrive, what will happen to the Virgin Queen and the citizens of London? And how will this affect the exploration, settlement and colonization of America? The eventual defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 brought fame, both for England and Queen Elizabeth I, and greatly affected the future development of America. Europe was stunned that such a small island nation had successfully defended itself against such a major aggressor and foreign diplomats began to court England as a possible ally. Elizabeth's popularity soared. The impact of the victory for the nation's self-confidence and the future of American exploration and colonization cannot be overestimated. England’s success was celebrated in all manners of ways. Songs were written, medals struck, portraits painted and prints published. All lauded Elizabeth as a savior who stood firm to protect her nation, shared the glory of the success with the English navy and gave thanks for divine intervention.

Richard Grenville (1542-91) was a celebrated Elizabethan Sea Dog—an informal name bestowed upon English privateers who were authorised by Queen Elizabeth I to raid England's enemies, even during times of peace. Carrying letters of marque issued by the English Crown, the Sea Dogs frequently attacked both enemy shipping at sea and enemy outposts on land... frequently targeting the Spanish in American waters and ports.

When people think of major sports hubs in the United States, places like Boston, New York, or Los Angeles come to mind. Maine, on the other hand, might not immediately be thought of as a sports state, but the reality is quite the opposite. Maine has a rich and exciting sports scene, with professional teams, college athletics, and thriving local leagues that provide fans and athletes alike with plenty of opportunities to enjoy the game. Whether you love hockey, baseball, basketball, soccer, or even “old guy hockey” as I like to call it, Maine has something for you. If you're considering making Maine your home, the sports culture here is just another reason to get excited about moving to the Pine Tree State.Professional Sports in MaineDespite its small size, Maine is home to several professional sports teams, each bringing exciting competition and passionate fan bases to the state. The Maine Mariners, a professional hockey team in the ECHL, serve as an affiliate of the Boston Bruins and play their home games at the Cross Insurance Arena in Portland. The Mariners have developed a strong following, offering an affordable and thrilling hockey experience for fans who might not want to make the trip to Boston for NHL action. Every year, we host a special Maine Mariners event for our clients, creating a fun and exciting way to connect with the community and enjoy some high-quality hockey.Baseball fans in Maine rally behind the Portland Sea Dogs, the Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Hadlock Field, where the Sea Dogs play, is considered one of the best minor league stadiums in the country, and it's the perfect place to catch future MLB stars in action. With a family-friendly atmosphere, plenty of themed nights, and the beloved mascot, Slugger the Sea Dog, it's no surprise that a day at Hadlock Field is a favorite activity for locals. In the past, we've hosted Portland Sea Dogs events as well, and it's always a fantastic time.For basketball fans, the Maine Celtics, formerly known as the Maine Red Claws, represent the state in the NBA G League as an affiliate of the Boston Celtics. The team plays at the Portland Expo Center, providing an opportunity to watch up-and-coming NBA talent before they hit the big leagues. Attending a Maine Celtics game is a great way to experience fast-paced basketball action without the high costs of an NBA ticket.Perhaps the most exciting new addition to Maine's sports scene is the Portland Hearts of Pine, a professional soccer team competing in USL League Two. This marks a huge milestone for Maine soccer, as it provides a stepping stone for future MLS players and gives local soccer fans a team of their own to support. The Hearts of Pine play their home games at Fitzpatrick Stadium in Portland, and with soccer's growing popularity in the state, this team is set to build an exciting fanbase.College Athletics in MaineMaine's college sports scene is just as lively as its professional leagues. The University of Maine Black Bears boast a Division I football program in the Coastal Athletic Association and have produced NFL players, including Baltimore Ravens fullback Pat Ricard. The school's hockey program is even more legendary, with two NCAA national championships to its name. The Black Bears' hockey games in Orono are some of the most electrifying sporting events in the state, with passionate fans creating an incredible atmosphere.Another noteworthy college sports rivalry exists between Bowdoin, Colby, and Bates, three historic Division III colleges in Maine. This rivalry has been alive for over a century, and fans of these schools take their athletic competitions seriously. Bowdoin College, in particular, has one of the most beautiful hockey rinks in New England, and their games bring in a dedicated following. If you're looking for a tight-knit college sports community, these schools deliver an experience that is steeped in history and tradition.Local and Adult Leagues in MaineMaine isn't just a great place to watch sports—it's also an amazing place to play them. Soccer has exploded in popularity across the state, with local leagues like Seacoast United, GPS Maine, and the Portland Coed Soccer League offering adults of all skill levels a chance to get on the field. Whether you're looking for competitive play or just a fun way to stay active, there's a soccer league in Maine for you.For those who prefer ice over grass, hockey remains a staple of Maine's sports culture. That's where "old guy hockey" comes in—a term I use to describe the incredible adult hockey scene in the state. If you're over 30 and still want to lace up your skates, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. Pickup games, beer leagues, and friendly tournaments are played regularly at venues like the Family Ice Center in Falmouth and Troubh Ice Arena in Portland. Playing hockey isn't just about competition; it's also about camaraderie, staying active, and reliving the love of the game.Maine is also home to an impressive golf scene, with over 100 golf courses spread across the state. Whether you're teeing off at Belgrade Lakes Golf Club or playing a round at Cape Arundel Golf Club—where former presidents have been known to hit the links—there's no shortage of stunning courses to explore. The Maine Golf Association offers plenty of tournaments and opportunities for golfers to stay competitive while enjoying the scenic beauty of Maine.Why You Need a Realtor When Moving to MaineIf you're thinking about moving to Maine and want to enjoy everything the local sports scene has to offer, working with an experienced Realtor is essential. A Realtor can help you find homes near stadiums, sports venues, and recreational facilities, making it easy to stay connected to the teams and activities you love. Additionally, Realtors understand the local market, helping you find the best deals and navigate Maine's real estate landscape with confidence.Without the help of a Realtor, homebuyers risk overpaying, missing hidden inspection issues, and getting lost in complicated legal disclosures.

This is part II of our episode swap on The Raft of the Medusa from the great podcast Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs by Rich Napolitano. Enjoy this bonus episode and check out Rich's podcast, it's fantastic!The French frigate Medusa shipwreck is one of the most infamous maritime disasters in history, occurring in 1816 off the coast of present-day Mauritania. The ship, intended to transport French officials to Senegal, ran aground on the Arguin Bank due to the incompetence of its captain, Viscount Hugues de Chaumareys and an arrogant passenger Antoine Richefort, who convinced Chaumareys he was a skilled, experienced navigator. The evacuation of the vessel was chaotic and poorly managed, resulting in the abandonment of over 147 passengers on a crude, makeshift raft. The survivors endured a harrowing ordeal of starvation, dehydration, and cannibalism during their 13-day drift before rescue, with only 15 out of the 147 surviving. The aftermath of the Medusa shipwreck sparked public outrage in France, leading to a sensational trial and widespread condemnation of the ship's officers and government officials involved. Théodore Géricault, a French artist, famously depicted the tragedy in his painting “The Raft of the Medusa,” capturing the despair and horror experienced by the survivors. The disaster highlighted systemic issues within the French naval administration, including nepotism and incompetence, prompting reforms in naval recruitment and training practices.Links:The Raft of the Medusa page, on Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs: https://shipwrecksandseadogs.com/blog/2024/03/11/the-raft-of-the-medusa/Music: Marche pour la cérémonie des Turcs, composed by Jean-Baptiste Lully, arranged and performed by Jérôme Arfouche.Artwork: Le Radeau de la Méduse by Théodore Géricault, 1818-1819Support the showReach out, support the show and give me feedback!

In the midst of increased tariffs and enforcement of the Navigation Acts, an angry group of merchants, plantation owners, and residents of Providence, Rhode Island slipped out under the cover of darkness on June 10, 1772, and boarded HMS Gaspee. After a short battle, the Rhode Islanders burned the British vessel, and shot and wounded its commander, Lt. William Duddingston. The Gaspee Affair, as it came to be known, was the result of increased tensions between colonists and the British government.

"I was trying to throw it as soft as I could." - Drew Ehrhard Red Sox infield and catching prospect Drew Ehrhard talks about getting to pitch as a position player this past season. 

On the 13th of January, 2012 the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia struck a rocky outcropping off the coast of Italy. The ship lost power and propulsion, and came to rest on its starboard side, just meters from the island of Giglio. Panic and chaos ensued on board, with over 4000 passengers and 1000 crew. Captain Francesco Schettino altered the planned course of his ship to perform a sail-by salute, close to Giglio, without informing Costa operations. His mistress, Moldovan dancer Domnica Cemortan, was on the bridge at the time of the accident. Twenty-seven passengers and five crew were killed in the accident, and countless more were injured. Schettino and other deck officers abandoned the helpless ship well before all the passengers were off the ship, earning him the nickname, "Captain Coward."

The Royal Tar was a Canadian steamship built in 1835. On October 25, 1836, the ship was on voyage from Eastport, Maine to Portland, Maine. On board were 72 passengers, 21 crew, and a large caravan of animals that were part of a traveling menagerie. The caravan included horses, lions, camels, a tiger, birds, reptiles, and even an elephant. when the ship's boiler ran dry due to a leak. When the boiler became red hot, it ignited the timber and supports above. The crew was unable to control the fire, and were forced to save themselves. Panic ensued, with passengers, crew, and terrified animals trying to avoid the fire. Animals and people jumped overboard, in a horrifying scene. 32 people and all of the animals except for 2 horses perished.

This week's bonus episode is an interview I did with Rich Napolitano of the delightfully dark and decidedly educational podcast highlighting the Age of Sail - Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs - Tales of Mishaps, Misfortune, and MisadventuresBring along all the Cabin Girls & Boys - this one is for everyone.Rich does me the favor of quoting vivid primary sources to back up all these things I've been saying about food at sea. In a word: Terrible. Check out Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs (https://shipwrecksandseadogs.com/blog/) to discover many more engaging episodes about tales of mishaps, misfortune, and misadventures.For images and sources, please visit https://shipwrecksandseadogs.com/blog/2024/11/12/danderfunk-salt-junk-and-scurvy-cuisine-aboard-ships/ For ad-free listening to Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs and many other fantastic history podcasts, subscribe to Into History at IntoHistory.com/shipwreckspod.

Food aboard ships during the Age of Sail (roughly from the 16th to the 19th centuries) was far from luxurious, chosen for its durability rather than flavor or nutritional value. Sailors were at sea for extended periods with no refrigeration, so provisions had to withstand long voyages. The cuisine was monotonous, barely edible, and nutritionally deficient by modern standards. Sailors endured long periods of hunger and boredom over these meals, but advances over time, such as adding lemon or lime to prevent scurvy, improved their overall diet somewhat. Joining Rich for this episode is the creator and host of The History of American Food Podcast, Greta Hardin.

He would go on to captain several ships including the Norway and the Mary S. Ames. Captain Frank survived a fire on board the Norway, with all hands saved, and a hurricane that sank the Mary S. Ames. Throughout his years on the seas, Captain Frank had many adventures, and his legacy lives on through his ships' logs, diaries, and notes. Captain Frank's great-great-granddaughter Amy Giannotti joins me as my guest.

On October 9, 1862, David Henry White was kidnapped at sea from the United States merchant ship Tonawanda by Captain Raphael Semmes of the CSS Alabama. The young man was from a free, black family of Lewes, Delaware, and was employed on the Tonawanda by the Cope Line as a passenger cook.

The Skeleton Coast of Namibia is infamous for the countless shipwrecks scattered along its shores, a haunting reminder of the treacherous conditions mariners have faced for centuries. Thick, unpredictable fogs, strong Atlantic currents, and hidden sandbars have made navigating this coastline perilous, often leading ships to run aground. Some of the wrecks, dating as far back as the early Portuguese explorers, remain visible today, slowly being reclaimed by the sands. The coast earned its name because of these wrecks and the skeletal remains of whales, seals, elephants, and even humans found on its shores. Notable shipwrecks, like the Dunedin Star and Eduard Bohlen, offer a glimpse into the tragic history of those who sailed too close to the Skeleton Coast. The Dunedin Star ran aground in 1942, prompting a dramatic rescue operation, while the Eduard Bohlen, stranded in 1909, now rests eerily in the middle of the desert due to shifting sands. These wrecks, partially buried and weathered by time, have become iconic landmarks, drawing adventurers and history enthusiasts alike to this isolated coastline. The haunting presence of these wrecks is a stark reminder of the unpredictable power of nature in this remote and desolate region.

The Ocean Ranger disaster occurred on February 15, 1982, when the semi-submersible offshore drilling rig sank off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, in the North Atlantic. A severe winter storm caused massive waves and hurricane-force winds, leading to water breaching the rig's ballast control room. A series of mechanical and human errors in handling the flooding worsened the situation, and eventually, the rig capsized. Tragically, all 84 crew members on board died, marking the worst disaster in Canadian offshore oil exploration history.

Ships of the Crusades Joining me for this episode is Dr. Nicholas Morton, Associate Professor with the School of Arts and Humanities at Nottingham Trent University. Dr. Morton has written many books, including The Mongol Storm: Making and Breaking Empires in the Medieval Near East. The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated by European Christians between the 11th and 13th centuries, aimed at reclaiming the Holy Land from Muslim control. These campaigns involved significant military efforts that spanned several decades, resulting in ongoing conflicts between European powers and Muslim territories in the Middle East. The Crusaders relied heavily on reinforcements, supplies, and communication from Europe, making maritime logistics essential for their campaigns. As many of the Crusades targeted areas like the Levant, which bordered the Mediterranean, control of sea routes became crucial for maintaining the flow of troops, weapons, food, and other supplies. Ships played a vital role in transporting Crusaders, their horses, and their supplies across the Mediterranean. These vessels were typically galleys and large sailing ships equipped for both war and transport. Galleys, in particular, were favored for their speed and maneuverability, often being rowed when winds were unfavorable. Large Byzantine warships were used extensively by both Crusaders and their allies. Merchant ships were also repurposed to carry heavy equipment and reinforcements. Maritime supply lines were vulnerable to enemy attacks, and naval battles were frequent, with Crusaders often needing the protection of fleets from Venetian or Genoese navies, who provided expertise in shipbuilding and navigation. These fleets were essential in maintaining the Crusaders' foothold in the Holy Land. https://shipwrecksandseadogs.com/blog/2024/09/08/ships-of-crusades/ For ad-free listening to Shipwrecks and Sea Dogs and many other fantastic history podcasts, subscribe to Into History, at IntoHistory.com/shipwreckspod.

The boys are back with another shipwreck and who better to talk shipwrecks with than the host of the Shipwrecks & Sea Dogs podcast, Rich Napolitano! Rich gives us a deep dive on one of the most famous shipwrecks in both history and pop culture, the Edmund Fitzgerald.The Big Fitz was the pride of the Great Lakes, a massive ore hauler that did the run from Wisconsin down to Detroit, Michigan. This trip took tons upon tons of ore over the dangerous waters of the Great Lakes, particularly those of Lake Superior. It was while on Superior on November 10, 1975 that the Edmund Fitzgerald was caught in an early winter storm and lost with all hands. The loss of the massive ship and it's crew sparked an extensive search as well as the famous song.The History Things Podcast is brought to you by History Things with Pat & Matt Borders Books!Follow the guys on social media by searching for @TheHistoryThingsPodcast! - Facebook.com/thehistorythingspodcast- instagram.com/thehistorythingspodcast- YouTube.com/thehistorythingspodcast

The bulk carrier SS Marine Electric went down on February 12th, 1983, 30 miles off the coast of Virginia during a severe winter storm. The World War 2 era ship had been been deteriorating for years and suffered from rust, corrosion, failed pumps, and faulty safety features that the ship's owners, Marine Transport Lines had neglected to repair. Only 3 out of 34 crewmembers survived the wreck. Many Coast Guard reforms were developed as a result of this tragedy, including the formation of the US Coast Guard rescue swimmer program.

The Halifax Explosion of 1917 occurred on December 6 when the SS Mont-Blanc, a French cargo ship laden with explosives, collided with the Norwegian vessel SS Imo in the narrow harbor of Halifax, Nova Scotia. The collision caused a massive explosion that devastated the surrounding area, resulting in approximately 2,000 deaths and injuring around 9,000 people. The blast obliterated buildings, started fires, and triggered a tsunami, causing widespread destruction in Halifax and the neighboring community of Dartmouth. It was the largest man-made explosion prior to the development of nuclear weapons, leaving a lasting impact on the city.

The MiLB Talk crew of Derrik, Hunter and Jake are back with their second episode this week. They waited until right after the trade deadline to record this episode so they could offer the full rundown on all the players that were traded away from the Red Sox at this deadline—and as anticipated, the deadline has resulted in a big shakeup in the Red Sox minor league system. The guys talk about the implications of trading away Eddinson Paulino, Cutter Coffey, Ovis Portes, Nick Yorke, Ryan Zeferjahn, Niko Kavadas, Matthew Lugo and more. Plus, will these deals give other guys an opportunity to move up? Later, Hunter runs down his experience this past week covering the Sea Dogs in person, the guys talk briefly about the Red Sox incredibly signing all 20 of their draft picks, and finish up with Guess the Prospect.

The USS Thresher (SSN-593) was a nuclear-powered submarine that tragically sank on April 10, 1963, during a deep-diving test about 220 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. This disaster resulted in the loss of all 129 crew members and civilians on board, marking the deadliest submarine disaster in U.S. history. The Thresher's sinking highlighted critical flaws in submarine design and emergency response procedures, leading to the implementation of the SUBSAFE program, which significantly improved the safety and reliability of subsequent U.S. Navy submarines. The exact cause of the sinking remains undetermined, but it is believed to involve a combination of mechanical failure and human error under the extreme pressures of deep-sea conditions.

Lord Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald (1775-1860), was a daring and influential British naval officer renowned for his unconventional tactics and audacious exploits during the Napoleonic Wars. Known for his strategic brilliance and fearless leadership, Cochrane earned a reputation as one of the most successful frigate captains in the Royal Navy, particularly for his devastating raids on enemy ships and coastal installations. His innovative use of fireships and his bold attacks on French and Spanish vessels contributed significantly to British naval victories. Beyond his naval career, Cochrane was also a reformer in politics, advocating for naval and parliamentary reforms and challenging corruption. His life inspired the literary character Jack Aubrey in Patrick O'Brian's novels, cementing his legacy as a charismatic and resourceful naval commander.

Derrik, Hunter and Jake are back with a special MiLB Talk edition where they preview the 2024 MLB draft for the Red Sox. The draft starts on July 14 with the first two rounds, where the Red Sox will pick 12th and 50th overall. How will the Red Sox utilize their picks and the $10.5 million bonus pool for their 20 picks? The guys break down possible strategies for the picks and who they might select with the 12th pick. Will someone unexpectedly fall out of the Top 10 like last year? Or will they already have a deal with someone? We explore possible picks such as Nick Kurtz, Vance Honeycutt, Christian Moore, Trey Yesavage, James Tibbs, Cam Smith, Cam Caminiti and more. Plus, will the team's draft strategy be different under Craig Breslow? In the regular portion of the show there's chatter about Mickey Gasper and his awesome mustache, Jake's trip to see a bit of an odd Sea Dogs game in Manchester, a huge week for Allan Castro, the first High-A homer for Miguel Bleis, and a great week for both Salem pitchers and the great Albert “Big Al” Feliz. Plus the guys talk about Marcelo Mayer and Kyle Teel getting selected to the Futures Game, as well as Roman Anthony playing in the new Skills Showcase. Following some brief Dalvinson Reyes praise in the FCL/DSL Minute, it's onto a special draft edition of Guess the Prospect.

The Lakonia was launched in 1929 as the Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (JVO) of the Netherlands Line as an ocean liner, servicing the route between Europe and the Dutch East Indies. After being converted to a troop ship during World War 2, she returned to passenger service until 1963, when she was sold to the Greek Line. The JVO was refurbished and renamed as the Lakonia, then relaunched as a cruise ship. In December of 1963, the ship was en route from Southampton, England to the Canary Islands with over over 1000 passengers and crew when a fire broke out in the hair salon, caused by faulty wiring. A slow response by the ship's crew, contradictory orders, and faulty lifeboats resulted in the deaths of 128 people.

The MiLB crew is back together after Derrik and Jake missed last week's show. Hunter kicks things off by giving a full recap of the 5 Sea Dogs games he watched in Somerset last week. It was a huge week for all of the members of the Big 3, with Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony and Kyle Teel each having big weeks at the plate. Zach Penrod was a big topic of discussion, as he had his second start in a row of 10 strikeouts. He's quickly become one of the best pitching prospects in the system. How much longer can we expect the soon to be 27 year old to stay in AA? Next, the guys go over Salem, where Miguel Bleis is crushing it and the numbers are starting to stabilize after an unlucky start. It was a great week for Salem starters including Trennor O'Donnell, Jedixson Paez, Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, Luis Cohen and more. In Greenville, they talk about Kristian Campbell destroying the baseball and Bryan Gonzalez becoming a big power prospect. In Worcester, the guys ponder the future for Nick Sogard, and discuss Lucas Luetge among others. After a quick FCL Minute, it's time for Guess the Prospect.
