Following a 4-3 come-from-behind victory for the Red Sox, Nick Sogard spoke with Will Flemming and Cooper Boardman about the mood as he rejoined the team in Kansas City from Worcester, believing he's the best he's been in his career, and the team rallying behind another big Jarren Duran swing.
A full interview with Boston Red Sox infielder Nick Sogard! Andrew and Hayden talk with Nick about his 2025 season that saw him spend plenty of time playing first base in Boston, playing with Alex Bregman, and what it has been like facing Hayden in the minors.
The Red Sox blew it. They blew it, plain and simple. You think the Yankees are a good enough team to win on their own? Look at how the Blue Jays series has been going for them. Another year of being doomed to hate-watch. Crochet fought for it. So did Story, Chapman, Yoshida, Eaton, Sogard. You know, the usual suspects. Jack Webster will be hitching his wagon to the Seattle Mariners, he wants to see their first world series trip. Will they ever beat The Dodgers? Los Doyers? Unlikely. Though, let's be honest, a 2025 Mariners vs Brewers World Series would slap. I might even buy a hat. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Game 1 of the Wild Card series had everything October baseball promises—tension, drama, and heartbreak in the Bronx. In front of 47,000-plus fans at Yankee Stadium, Max Fried delivered a gem and Anthony Volpe provided an early spark with a solo shot. But the night unraveled in the seventh inning when the Yankees' bullpen faltered, giving the Red Sox the opening they needed.Garrett Crochet turned in a historic performance for Boston, striking out 11 Yankees over 7.2 innings, while former Yankee Aroldis Chapman slammed the door in the ninth. Despite loading the bases with no outs in their final at-bat, the Yankees couldn't cash in. Chris breaks down the pivotal moments, from Luke Weaver's missed chance to Yoshida's clutch pinch-hit and Bregman's insurance RBI. With Carlos Rodón set to start Game 2, the Yankees are now fighting for survival in this best-of-three series.Key Topics Discussed:Anthony Volpe's early home run gives Yankees a 1–0 leadMax Fried delivers 6.1 shutout innings, earning a standing ovationSeventh inning collapse: Weaver's walk, Sogard's hustle, Yoshida's clutch singleGarrett Crochet's dominant postseason debut: 7.2 IP, 11 K, 0 BBNinth inning heartbreak: Story's single and steal, Bregman's RBI doubleYankees load the bases in the ninth but Chapman slams the doorMissed opportunities: 5 left on base, bullpen inconsistenciesBoone's questionable lineup and bullpen management decisionsGame 2 preview: Carlos Rodón vs. Brayan Bello—win or go homeBullpen Q&A ☎️You have opinions just like we do so we want to hear from you!Email us at feedback@chasefor28.comConnect with us on Twitter @chasefor28podConnect with us on Instagram @chasefor28podSend a voicemail http://chasefor28.com/voicemailMerch
After a huge Game 1 win for the Red Sox to open the Wild Card Series, Nick Sogard spoke to Will Flemming, Will Middlebrooks, and Lou Merloni about the atmosphere in Yankee Stadium for his first playoff game, feeling comfortable at the plate despite some uncertainty about his roster position, and having a horse and a beast in Garrett Crochet in front of him.
Will Flemming and Mike Monaco spoke to the hero Nick Sogard following the Red Sox 10-inning walk-off win over the Athletics about being literally dragged out to pinch hit for his walk-off hit, his season jumping back and forth from Boston to Worcester, and being a part of a much-needed win as the chase for the postseason heats up.

Alex Sogard (Wright State Baseball Coach) looks ahead to the Raiders NCAA Tournament game vs Tennessee on Friday night.
Reach The Horizon - The official Podcast of the Horizon League
The Wright State Raiders baseball team is heading back to the NCAA Championships after capturing it's fourth Horizon League Title in the last six seasons. The Raiders are headed to the Knoxville Regional as the No. 4 seed where they will take on the No.1 Seed Tennessee Volunteers on Friday night at 6pm on ESPN3. Raiders head coach Alex Sogard is this weeks guest with Justin Kinner on "Reach The Horizon."
Opening Day is two weeks away, and there's a fight to make the final roster. We talk about the final bench bat (Maybin, Sogard, Vargas?) and the chess game it will take to keep all the relievers we want without losing any to waivers, after the impressive performances by Shelby Miller, Rex Brothers, and Dillon Maples.
The day Cubs fans have been anticipating for years has finally arrived: The team has reportedly agreed to a deal with Eric Sogard. Kidding aside, the Sogard signing gives us an excuse to talk about the one seemingly unsettled starting position going into the spring, second base. Brett Taylor, Sahadev Sharma and Patrick Mooney get into the second base position, with a focus on Nico Hoerner and David Bote, the value of an average player, and more on this episode of Onto Waveland.

Horizon League Coach Of The Year Alex Sogard joined the Kinner & Schlemmer Show to talk about his team's dominant regular season - WSU is hosting the Horizon League Tournament at Nischwitz Stadium this week and the 1-seed Raiders look to get back to the NCAA Tournament
https://www.youtube.com/user/WrightStateU When he’s standing on base, the cheers of the fans and the chatter of the players fade away. Wright State University baseball player J.D. Orr hears none of it. “I kind of go into a zone. It feels like I’m on the field by myself,” he said. Then Orr proceeds to make his own noise. Legs churning and arms pumping, he bullets across the infield and dives head first into the next base, kicking up a fountain of tiny black rubber pellets from the field turf that poppy-seed the top of the bag. And usually he’s safe. Orr has become a bandit of base-stealing, breaking both the Wright State season and career records for stolen bases. Head coach Alex Sogard said Orr is one of the best base-stealers in the country. “I think J.D. is one of the most exciting players to watch in college baseball,” said Sogard. “He’s such a powerful runner. It seems like every time he gets on base it has positively affected our team.” More at https://webapp2.wright.edu/web1/newsroom/2019/05/21/base-bandit/#video

"I love to be enjoying any situation that I'm in. Obviously that's not always easy . . . but I think if you're having fun in what you're doing, it's way better than being miserable." Kaycee Sogard is so refreshing. Yes, she's a beloved blogger and Instagrammer; but in SO many ways, Kaycee breaks the mold. For one, she is frank, silly, and genuine. For another, she is very grounded in what matters most to her, and she holds strong to her own priorities and refuses to give in to the pressures of keeping up with the Instagram Joneses. Kaycee's ability to rise above came in large part to her lifelong passion with softball. Not only did sports instill an incredible amount of work ethic and other valuable life skills, but Kaycee faced some difficult choices early on in her collegiate career where she was surrounded by incredible pressure. Her decision to push back and do what was right for her enabled her to grow more fully into who she wanted to become, and also centered her when she could have easily succumbed to a lot of disappointment. In this podcast, Kaycee talks about all of that, plus her purposes behind her blog and Instagram, her experiences with anxiety, how she's faced postpartum depression, how she's both "OCD" and "super laid back," her next exciting project, and her hilarious response on what goal-making looks like for her and what she's terrified of.
