  Episode 39 - 08/09/2026 - The Red Sox streaks have reached epic levels! Boston wins the Trade Deadline with Adley Rutschman acquisition 09.08.2026 28хв

  The Red Sox completely turned their season around as the bats of Caleb Durbin, Willson Contreras, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu heat up.  This is in conjunction with the Gold Glove level defense in the field and the call ups of Anthony Seigler and Nick Sogard from AAA Worcester. Boston overtook the Chicago White Sox, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Tampa Bay Rays who are no slouches in their own right to show that they truly have what it takes to be playoff contenders in the American League postseason. With the trade for Adley Rutschman from the Baltimore Orioles and the top notch outings from Sonny Gray and Payton Tolle in the pitching department, the Red Sox have what it takes to fend off the Cleveland Guardians and the Texas Rangers in the Wild Card standings. How did this team pull off such an epic turnaround?  Let’s review the month of July together and how much we wish it didn’t have to end on 162 in Review!

  Episode 38 - 07/11/2026 - Are the Red Sox back? 7 wins in a row! 11.07.2026 24хв

  The Red Sox have somehow struck gold with their offense finally syncing up with the pitching and defense to string together 7 wins in a row against the Los Angeles Angels, the Chicago White Sox and the New York Mets, even after being dealt a hard blow with the suspension of their first baseman. Willson Contreras, Ceddanne Rafaela, Ranger Suarez and Aroldis Chapman have been selected for the MLB All Star Team but where is the acclaim for Sonny Gray!   The Red Sox are now in third place in the AL East.  Can they continue their rise?

  Episode 37 - 06/30/2026 - Red Sox - Yankees Rivalry Returns 30.06.2026 34хв

  Over this past weekend, the Boston Red Sox did the unthinkable and swept the New York Yankees at Fenway Park in an epic 4 game series for the first time since 2018!  Wally was out with the broom and we couldn’t believe our eyes.  The pitching of Connelly Early, Payton Tolle, Jake Bennett and Sonny Gray was superb.   The promotion of Anthony Seigler, received in the offseason Milwaukee Brewers trade, and the passion of Willson Contreras, following the devastating Venezuelan earthquakes, help propel the Boston offense to success. The roll continued in game 1 against the Washington Nationals with another win, making it a season-high streak of 5 consecutive wins! In AAA Worcester, Brayan Bello had a quality outing giving up just 1 run at Polar Park on Thursday, June 25.

  Episode 36 - 06/13/2026 - Hope has left the building for the Red Sox 13.06.2026 30хв

  With a record of 28 - 39 up to this point, hope is fleeting and a .500 record is so far off in the distance that the Artemis II crew would have had a better chance of locating this pie in the sky, than the 2026 Boston Red Sox. While there have been some bright spots in Willson Contreras (could pitchers stop hitting him, though?), Sonny Gray and Connelly Early, the bats are completely MIA. Garrett Crochet’s injury has been far more pronounced than originally publicized and he will not be able to save the team from themselves this year. Will ownership make a major move at the trade deadline as any kind of reprieve for this abysmal offensive production?  (Probably not, but let’s commiserate together!)

  Episode 35 - 05/30/2026 - Sonny Gray dominates against Cleveland and will the Red Sox be sellers at the trade deadline? 31.05.2026 27хв

  After a disasterous series against the Minnesota Twins and then a stunning sweep against the Kansas City Royals, the Boston Red Sox are giving us whiplash as we struggle to define the team’s identity after 1/3 of the season is over! Sonny Gray and Connolly Early continue to be starting Aces. The bats of Caleb Durbin, Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Jarren Duran have heated up. Willson Contreras is honored as the American League player of the week. Should the Red Sox be willing to part with Aroldis Chapman or Garrett Whitlock at the trade deadline?

  Episode 34 - 05/12/2026 - Red Sox continue their stumbles 12.05.2026 23хв

  The Tampa Bay Rays came to town with Junior Caminero, Yandy Diaz and Chandler Simpson hitting all over Fenway Park. How can the Red Sox overcome their challenges and is Willson Contreras returning anytime soon after being hit by a pitch? Also, why are we pinch hitting for Masataka Yoshida but not Caleb Durbin? Mickey Gaspar returns to the majors and makes us wonder why he ever left!   **correction - the Red Sox will play Philadelphia at home, not away

  Episode 33 - 05/02/2026 - The Magic of the Fenway Greens Strikes Again 02.05.2026 25хв

  Hurray for another Friday win in the Fenway Greens! The move to Chad Tracy seems to reset the tone with the team. But does someone have a Voodoo Doll of Red Sox pitchers? Pitching IL Woes Garrett Crochet Johan Oviedo Sonny Gray Tyler Uberstine Tyler Samaniego Justin Slaten And how do we solve the Brayan Bello question? Happy Birthday to Wally, on May 3!

  Red Sox managerial staff is gutted.  Alex Cora gone, Pete Fatse gone, Ramon Vazquez fired, and more. How do the Red Sox recover and move in a different direction? Major Congratulations to Chad Tracy as he assumes the role as Interim Manager. Red Sox will finish up against the Baltimore Orioles and move on to the Toronto Blue Jays and the Houston Astros.   **Correction - 04/26/2026 was Sunday, not Saturday.

  Episode 31 - 04/14/2026 - Meet the Red Sox in St. Louis 15.04.2026 21хв

  Recapping the Red Sox/St. Louis series and opener in Minnesota. Against the Cardinals, there were encouraging signs of life with the bats as the Sox took their second series in a row. Willson Contreras seems unstoppable, Trevor Story starts a 9th inning run that leads to the Sox batting around. Jarren Duran has his first home run of the season. But against the Twins, Garrett Crochet missteps in his appearance at Target Field, giving up 11 runs including a grand slam. How do we get on a steady track to stop this madness? Well, at least the Blue Jays and Yankees are struggling too?  =\

  Episode 30 - 04/09/2026 - Red Sox take the series against the Milwaukee Brewers 09.04.2026 22хв

  Red Sox have strung together 2 wins in a row to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers. Red Sox relievers Tyler Uberstine and Tyler Samaniego just made their Major League debuts after being promoted from AAA Worcester. On the heels of a road trip to St. Louis to face the Cardinals, can Boston keep this going and build on the momentum? The Sox are about to see Dustin May as the starter in the series opener who comes into the game with an ERA of nearly 16!! This should be a very good opportunity. We’ll go around the league to see how Rob Refsnyder and Brennan Bernardino are doing with their new clubs. Go Sox!

  Episode 29 - 04/03/2026 - Red Sox Home Opener - A Sweet Victory 04.04.2026 19хв

  Sonny Gray showed up to this battle against the San Diego Padres in Electric Fenway Park where the Red Sox’s bats came alive with home runs from Willson Contreras and Marcelo Mayer. Aroldis Chapman finished the job by recording the save which allows him to surpass Jonathan Papelbon on the All Time Save Leaders in MLB History. The water was dirty and Caroline was sweet as I joined Red Sox Nation in attending the Home Opener.

  Episode 28 - 04/01/2026 - The Astros make April Fools of the Red Sox 01.04.2026 18хв

  Oh dear, we were flying high after the MLB Opening Day where the Red Sox beat the Cincinnati Reds with Garrett Crochet at the helm. Since then, we have fallen mightily with Sonny Gray, Ranger Suarez and Brayan Bello failing to keep control of the Reds and Astros lineups. With the home opener against the San Diego Padres coming up on April 3rd, can Fenway revive the vibes?

  The thaw in the northeast is hopefully upon us!   The Red Sox are back at JetBlue Park.  Garrett Crochet, Roman Anthony, Trevor Story and Co. are getting off to a good start and we’re excited to watch the 2026 roster take shape. There’s no Alex Bregman but we have Willson Contreras, Caleb Durban, Sonny Gray, Ranger Suarez and so many more additions to be happy about and Opening Day is just around the corner. We’ll also recap what a ray of sunshine Joe Castiglione is and the Red Sox participants in the 2026 World Baseball Classic.

  After almost a full offseason with no Free Agent signings, the Red Sox land Ranger Suarez from the Philadelphia Phillies. Alex Bregman signs with the Chicago Cubs and the Red Sox identity is still under review. Can they contend with their new top tier pitching staff or do they need another bat to round out their offense? Glad to see this movement today!

  Episode 22 - 11/26/2025 - Red Sox moves: Brennan Bernardino traded, Sonny Gray acquired 26.11.2025 22хв

  AL Cy Young Winner - Tarik Skubal, not Garrett Crochet.  Hear my case for Crochet. AL Manager of the Year - Stephen Vogt instead of John Schneider.  Like, how? Toronto Blue Jays make blockbuster signing of Dylan Cease for $210M over 7 years. The debate between Kyle Schwarber and Pete Alonso continues. Will Kristian Campbell return to the Major League roster in 2026?  And if yes, where will he play? Oh, yeah!  Happy Thanksgiving and have some turkey! You deserve it!

  Episode 21 - 11/3/2025 - World Series recap and Free Agency Discussion 03.11.2025 25хв

  By now we know that the Los Angeles Dodgers have achieved back to back World Series wins to take down the Toronto Blue Jays in a hard fought seven game battle of the wills. Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Will Smith could not be stopped despite best efforts from Max Scherzer, Kevin Gausman, Vladimir Guerrero, Jr and Bo Bichette who played their hearts out. For the Red Sox, Garrett Crochet is a Cy Young finalist in the American League and Gold Gloves have been awarded to Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu for their performances, Alex Bregman has opted out of the remaining 2 years of his deal and the Free Agent market grows with Kyle Schwarber, Tarik Skubal and Bo Bichette. Where will 2026 take us?
