4.4 out of 5 stars from 146 ratings
  • A good listen

    Sean McAdam and Chris Cotillo are knowledgeable baseball writers who bring a no frills perspective on the olde town team several times each week. Good stuff and worth a listen. My only complaint is how often Chris talks over Sean as he’s trying to make a point, often making Sean repeat himself or correct Chris’ sudden and sometimes off topic outburst. Yeah a bit quirky but we all love baseball. It’s still a good podcast.

  • Siskel & Ebert Of Red Sox Pods

    Smart and honest discussion of Boston baseball but like Siskel & Ebert I can’t tell if their jabs at each other are good natured banter or if they really don’t like each other

  • The Sox Go To Source

    The best Red Sox podcast out there. Two veteran beat guys who call out bad when it’s bad, hold management’s feet to the fire, and have a pulse for the Sox clubhouse. Essential listen.
