- How we would fix the team

- The disaster of Craig Breslow’s moves

- Ownership still in it?

- Ho... more

Justin, Buzz and Owen go over a very disappointing ending to a Baltimore series and the demotion of Brayan Bello.

  • Dead pod

    No reason to listen now that hoggy has left. Ed will make creepy jokes about the other cohosts and continue to live in ignorance thinking he is funny.

    Always on point. If you like a good rant you’ll enjoy a Hogdale take.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 192: Throuple Episode
Q: What would be a good number for you in terms of home runs for Caleb Durbin this year?
8-12 home runs, with potential for 30+ doubles if he keeps his eye and contact quality at a strong level.
Episode 192: Throuple Episode
Q: Two things with this, Brady, because I completely agree with you. Just one thing to note with where a lot of these home runs have come, he's hitting a ton of three-run homers.
Durbin has started showing more patient plate discipline and recent multi-run homers, suggesting his RBI-driven production is catching up.
Episode 181: Devin Futrell
Q: What was your draft day experience like?
It was a mix of relief and gratitude; there was some waiting, but once I heard my name in the 10th round, I celebrated and felt that the Red Sox had shown a strong interest in me since high school, which made the moment feel especially meaningful.
Episode 175: The Journey of Adam Bates
Q: How did you balance trusting your stuff with relying on analytics in your bullpen preparation and in-game decisions?
I focus on feel and spin, but I use analytics to confirm that what I feel translates to the movement and result I want, then practice that at high intensity to make it repeatable during games.
Episode 175: The Journey of Adam Bates
Q: Adam, what was the process like of deciding that relief pitching would be best for your development?
It was about adapting to what the organization needed and recognizing that short, high-leverage appearances could maximize my strengths, while also giving me a clearer, more focused routine on days I pitched.
