  • 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
