Episode 628: The Red Sox keep finding new ways to disappoint us all. This series featured a 3-game sweep at the hands of the Toronto Blue Jays. Full-on apathy toward this team is hitting harder than ever. Finding positives has become increasingly difficult, but Tyler’s love of IKF and Jake Bennett still shine through the haze of last place. After the sweep, players in the clubhouse spoke extremely candidly, and the guys react to Trevor Story and IKF’s reactions to yet another debacle of a start for the Red Sox. Jared uses historical comparisons to put the severity of what we’re watching with the 2026 Red Sox into context, while also forecasting who could realistically be traded from this team. Tyler lays down an ultimatum for the Boston Red Sox and reveals he is not a future firefighter in training. The guys revive “Down in the DMs” to hear fans’ frustrations and questions on the eve of Section 10 Night in Portland. Come out to Portland and meet the entire Section 10 Crew!
