Reviews

4.4 out of 5 stars from 196 ratings
  • Red Sox Pod

    Human leaf blower Chris Cotillo’s semi-weekly Boston Red Sox lecture. Occasionally some other guy says something. It’s fine-pretty surprising it’s gone on this long. Options for independent reporting on the Sox are sparse and this is probably as good as those options get. You can ffw through Cotillo’s repetitive diatribes and may hear something interesting from Sean. The info is good but best at 2x speed.

  • Fantastic - wish they did it more

    Great podcast. I think this is the most knowledgeable and realistic podcast on the Red Sox out there. They provide a great perspective without being overly alarmist to get clicks. My only complaint is I wish they did it more often instead of releasing a podcast 1 or 2 times a week

  • Has become my go to Sox podcast

    I’ve listened for a few years and, unlike the Sox performance, the podcast has steadily improved during that time. Very timely, informative coverage and discussions, mixed with a healthy dose of dry wit from both hosts- who aren’t afraid to occasionally offer differing perspectives. Glad this show has been here through good baseball seasons and bad ones.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 458: Recapping the Red Sox' end-of-season press conference; what's the No. 1 offseason priority for Craig Breslow?
Q: What did the press conference reveal about ownership and baseball operations' marching orders given the CBA uncertainty?
The impression was that ownership, particularly Sam Kennedy, deflected or minimized direct control over in-game decisions, while Breslow and Tracy asserted more responsibility and autonomy for on-field decisions, though questions linger about the true influence of analytics and front-office direction.
Ep 420: Get to know Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy with 20 questions (mostly) not about baseball
Q: Number two, if you didn't make a career in baseball, what would you be doing?
I pursued an advertising/communications path at Pepperdine and could have worked as a scout or started my own business, but baseball became the main path.
Ep 420: Get to know Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy with 20 questions (mostly) not about baseball
Q: Number one, a lot of baseball people spend their off season in Arizona, Florida, California. You spend yours outside of Cincinnati, lovely place. Why is that?
My wife was born and raised there, and my family on my dad's side is from that area, so we settled there to balance family ties with my outdoor interests like fishing and hunting.
Ep 421: Red Sox farm director Brian Abraham on the state of the farm system, Franklin Arias, Anthony Eyanson & more from Polar Park
Q: How do you view Franklin Arias's progression and the pathway to the big leagues?
Arias is viewed as a major asset with advanced defensive ability and growing offensive potential; the plan allows for development opportunities at AA to fine-tune workload and routine, with consideration for a future call-up based on readiness rather than urgency.
Ep 421: Red Sox farm director Brian Abraham on the state of the farm system, Franklin Arias, Anthony Eyanson & more from Polar Park
Q: What are the main storylines at this early point of the year for Worcester and the system as a whole?
The bulk of the answer centers on how minor league talent has been integrated into the major league roster and how the organization assesses development versus immediate big league impact, with emphasis on depth and readiness across levels such as Worcester, Portland, and Greenville.
