Section 10 Podcast

BLAZE JORDAN joins the pod and boy is this guy addicted to hitting home runs! The 19 year-old phenom has been in the spotlight since he was 11 years old when a video of him hitting a 395-foot home run went viral, but he wasn't done there. He went re-viral two years later when he hit TWO 500-foot home runs at the age of 13! Insane. Now he's a top Red Sox prospect and we couldn't be happier to have him. We talk to Blaze about what it was like to have that much attention as a kid and when he realized his power was something special, how he got the name Blaze and how it's one of the best sports names ever, his reaction when he got picked by the Red Sox and his decision to go pro instead of playing in college, meeting Mookie Betts at the All-Star Game in 2019, his relationships with other top prospects in the Red Sox organization, and his goals for 2022 and how he wants to progress as a player. Safe to say this won't be the last interview with Blaze Jordan. During the rest of the episode we get another Pat's 12-Pack where Pat lists his top 12 favorite frogs, we talk about bat flips/celebrations and people getting mad about them, throwing at people and charging the mound, N64 and Mario Kart, and a whole lot more. Chris Cotillo also joins the pod for a quick phone call which results in him being indefinitely suspended from the podcast.

We have a guest for the THIRD straight week as Johnny Damon joins the show to discuss David Ortiz's election to the Baseball Hall of Fame. We also talk to Johnny about how ridiculous it is that he's not in the Red Sox Hall of Fame, how much he loved his years with the Red Sox and how he wanted to stay in Boston, what happened in negotiations and why he signed with the Yankees, outfielders/players getting yelled at by fans, his Grand Slam in Game 7 of the ALCS and everything about the 2004 postseason, his thoughts on Bonds and Clemens not being elected to the Hall, and a whole bunch more. Throughout the rest of the episode the guys dive deep into Ortiz's career and discuss why he might've gotten elected to the Hall of Fame over other guys in his era.

Tim Wakefield joins the podcast as our string of guests on Section 10 continues! We talk to Tim about Pedro's legacy, his famous knuckleball and its ideal speed, if he had any gas left in the tank to try to break the record for most wins as a Red Sox pitcher, the best Red Sox team he's played for, being there for the beginning of David Ortiz's rise to stardom, Kevin Millar's influence in the 2004 ALCS comeback against the Yankees, Varitek's struggles catching his knuckleball in Game 5 of that ALCS, his favorite non-baseball memory of 2004, his relationship with players on the Yankees during that era, whether the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry will ever be the same, if his demeanor on the mound and the unpredictability of the knuckleball is a metaphor for how he lives his life, his Roberto Clemente award in 2010, Johnny Damon, and his celebrity status in Boston after the 2004 saga. Tim then executes an all-time exit to the interview. We talk for a few minutes about Coley's role in the Red Sox signings of international players before we get into the main topic of the rest of the episode; a deep dive into spiders and bees.

Less than 24 hours after announcing his retirement, Jon Lester joins the podcast in an hour-long interview to talk about his legendary career in Major League Baseball. We talk about everything from his first start in the big leagues, to shadowing Josh Beckett, how winning a championship so early on in his career affected him, the 2012 dumpster-fire of a season, the Boston Marathon bombings, the blockbuster trade with the Dodgers, being traded to the A's, his chances of coming back to Boston in free agency, why it looked like he had more fun playing for the Cubs, and a whole lot more. Pat Light also shares a story about his experience pitching in front of Jon and how intimidating it was. The second half of the pod features Coley down in Cuba scouting players for the Sox and discussion about what the players are actually looking to get out of the CBA negotiations. Enjoy!

In what is officially the longest episode in Section 10 History, the crew listens to four hours of voicemails from people who are mad at Pat. Some are critical, some are more forgiving, and some are just straight up mean. In between voicemails we talk about the bar scene in Boston and what a Section 10 bar could look like, Brian Johnson’s stories and his chemistry with Pat, and the chances Pat would buy a bar in Boston. Pat also shares experiences from his career and talks about the pressure he faced to give up his best pitch. Strap in, it’s a long one!

The gang's all here (Jared, Coley, and Jake) for the last episode of 2021. We kick off the episode by going through some hypotheticals of what would happen if a major league pitcher showed up late for his start and what the consequences would be. Jared talks about his love for the Coast Guard and how he's always ranked them equally amongst the other branches of the military. Jared and Coley compare the contracts of Rick Porcello and John Lackey's careers with the Sox before moving into some Clay Buchholz discussion. Pat joins the show and we break down the miscommunication that caused him to be two hours late. Pat talks about his infamous outing against the Angels and gives an interesting anecdote about his interaction with Clay Buchholz in the dugout after he was pulled. Pat also gets into the nuances of pitching and talks about his best/worst pitches as a major leaguer. We end with everyone's New Year's resolutions for 2022. Happy New Year!

Episode 445: In our last episode before the holidays, Jared, Coley, and Pat answer questions from fans on twitter, mostly about Pat Light and his MLB career. Coley thinks lobster is overrated and Jared disagrees, Pat loves space docs and Jared wants to fight the people who narrate them, Jared doesn't think we actually went to the Moon in 1969, and the guys talk about what they want for Christmas. Have a great holiday!

Bobby Valentine joins the show to give us some anecdotes about his baseball career during this lockout-induced downtime for MLB. He gives his opinions on the most passionate fan bases in baseball, who should make the hall of fame, stories about relationships with players and owners during his 2012 season managing the Red Sox, dives into how everything went down from being hired to fired in Boston, and shares his experiences putting together his new book "Valentine's Way." The rest of the show consists of discussing Jared's near decision to join the Marines during the 2012 season and feedback on Pat's performance as a co-host so far. Pat and Jake also introduce their new segments "Pat's Peace" and "Talking Shit with Jake." Get Coors Light delivered straight to your door with Drizly by going to coorslight.com/ROCKET

Bad news to start the show as we’re informed that we’re no longer allowed to do fake ad reads, a segment brought to you by Brad’s Blueberries. Jared’s upset that he didn’t get enough shine in an interview about Coley’s personal life and career at Barstool. We talk lockout and whether or not players are allowed to appear on podcasts. The rest of the episode pretty much focuses on the Red Sox following and unfollowing Seiya Suzuki. Get Coors Light delivered straight to your door with Drizly by going to coorslight.com/ROCKET.

The lockout is here! Chaim signed three pitchers and shipped Hunter Renfroe to the Milwaukee Brewers at the buzzer. Old friend Jackie Bradley Jr. returns along with our new overlord Alex Binelas joins the show minutes after being traded to the Red Sox. It was a hectic three hours so we could all use something to chill out. Get Coors Light delivered straight to your door with Drizly by going to coorslight.com/ROCKET.

For the first time since 2018, a new co-host announces his presence on Section 10 with perhaps the worst debut in podcast history. P U. Truly a stinkeroo of a first appearance. Yeah that's right the Mick Man is uploading this episode and he's got free reign to type whatever he wants here for this episode description and there's nothing anyone can do about it. We also got a new producer! Big changes every which way you turn. Nothing helps you adjust to changes like chilling out with an ice cold Coors Light!

The offseason is upon us, Steve is gone and Jared and Coley are here to make sure the show goes on. We open the show by saying our goodbyes to Red Sox legend Jerry Remy, take a look at the offseason ahead, the moves the Red Sox have made, are yet to make and some out of the box scenarios that we’d like to see happen as the offseason plays out.

The Red Sox won the series in Philadelphia like we said they would, all is well. Today we talk the real reason Sox fans aren't pleased with winning two out of three in Philly, which relievers on this team we currently trust, Josh Taylor quietly having a great month, why no one should worry about E-Rod's recent struggles, a full breakdown of Danny Santana's impressive debut for the Sox, why no-hitters mean absolutely nothing now, if it was the right move to have Alex Verdugo play in Sunday's game, if we were surprised at all by the 474-foot bomb by Franchy, a full Down on the Farm segment on Jarren Duran and Triston Casas and why Don Orsillo is living his absolute best life. That and much more. Enjoy!

Eduardo Rodriguez is back to his peak form and that is HUGE for this Red Sox team. Today we talk the dominance of the Sox when Eddie is on the mound, when it's ok to get worried that they trail to start basically every game, our biggest concerns with this team since the 9-game winning streak, if the AL East sucks or not, why Alex Verdugo might actually be the face of the Sox, Devers mic'd up being pure gold, Christian Arroyo playing through a billion injuries, if we have ever gotten emotional at Fenway, how to correctly pronounce Eovaldi, a lookahead to the remaining schedule this month and how realistic 17-10 actually is right now, some Cheeky Monkey bar shoutouts and much more. Enjoy!

Garrett Richards was terrible in the series finale against the Jays and we talk about that a lot. Today we break down how many more of these kind of stinkers Richards can have until a change in the rotation needs to be made, why his postgame comments (slash excuses) on not being ready for the conditions and needing a jacket just aren't gonna fly here, if Sox fans dislike Richards or Josh Taylor more right now, sensing the big Dalbec moment is around the corner, how cool it is to remember the Sox have the 4th pick in the draft and if we think there's any chance Kumar Rocker falls to them with that pick. We then talk with the VerduGo Red Sox sign guy Greg Martens on his wild stories about getting drunk at games in the 70s and sitting with local celebrities, why he became such a big Verdugo fan, a full breakdown of catching his home run and how special that moment was and why this is all a great sign for this specific Red Sox team. We wrap with some more Richards talk and if Patrick Mahomes would ever come on the podcast. That and much more. Enjoy!

The fan that made the VerduGo Red Sox sign and then caught a Verdugo homer is an absolute legend. Today we talk all of our thoughts on viral fans and how this guy is gonna be hard to top by any Red Sox fan this year, if we dropped the ball by not having him on as a guest, whether we still have any concerns about Tunnel Time, who on this roster has been a pleasant surprise, Bobby Dalbec heating up while also being unlucky, how Tony La Russa and the White Sox basically gave up on Monday after Lucas Giolito got destroyed, why the Red Sox are basically undefeated, the Balloons being epically bad and why that likely won't change any time soon, if Garrett Whitlock can maintain this dominance, the key change Matt Barnes has made with his approach this season, Don Orsillo making that Dodgers-Padres series even better and much more. Enjoy!

The Red Sox just won 9 games in a row. Translation: They are good. Today we talk how stupid that siren was in Minnesota, how important Alex Verdugo will be to this team's success this season, what our updated Red Sox season win totals would be if we could do them over, Adam Ottavino needing to figure it out, why Driese's Pieces thrives in chaos, what we expect the Red Sox rotation to look like by August, if there's any way to sneak Tanner Houck into this rotation in a more full-time role, how ridiculous it is that the Yanks continue to be one of the top odds teams to win the World Series, why they wouldn't be anywhere near as favored if their team name was different and we wrap with a huge bet that has tons of wild implications! That and much more. Enjoy!

The Red Sox and JD Martinez are SO HOT RIGHT NOW, folks. Today we talk about how impressive it is that the Sox have started the season 6-0, how smart it was that JD decided to rip the IV's out of his arm in the hospital to get to Camden Yards in order to hit 3 homers in the series finale, whether JD has ever been hotter on the Sox than right now, how laughable that out call was on Franchy Cordero, if Hunter Renfroe has gone missing, a heated debate on the true meaning of a Bingo-Bango-Yahtzee, why Tunnel Time might actually be a bad thing, this Sox roster actually having stars unlike Cora alluded to, and close with one of the craziest murder mysteries in baseball history that you have NO CLUE about. All that and much more. Enjoy!

This has been a rough week, folks. Rick Porcello will not be returning to the Red Sox and Baseball Tavern is officially closing. Today we talk what Rick meant to this franchise over his lengthy and successful stay, how the Red Sox additions may possibly help the 2020 team, how these additions almost certainly mean Brock Holt will not be returning, how much Baseball Tavern meant to us and why going to Sox games won't be the same now that it's closing, reveal your All-Decade Team starting outfield and explain why Gerrit Cole sucks. That and much more. Enjoy!
