Breaking Down The Shit Show Between The Red Sox And Orioles This Past Weekend -- Section 10 Podcast Ep. 84
Programming notice: We’re moving from Mondays and Fridays to Tuesdays and Thursdays. The new format will be that Tuesdays are our interview episode. We’ll have a guest on every Tuesday, and it might not always be Red Sox related, but we’ll definitely keep it sports media related or have a player on or something. And then the Thursday show will be our Red Sox episode, like we were doing before. I think this format is much better for two episodes a week.
On Episode 84 of the Section 10 Podcast, the JT Snow episode, we’re breaking down the shit show between the Red Sox and Orioles from this past weekend. But before we do that, our old pal Pete Abraham of the Boston Globe accidentally tweeted a picture of an Instagram model’s ass yesterday and then went with the ol’ “I got hacked” excuse, so we open with a segment on GBOB and how he can’t seem to get out of his own way. That leads to a discussion about times we’ve accidentally sent something to the wrong person.
Then, we get right into it. Was the Manny Machado slide dirty or not? Have Orioles fans passed Blue Jays fans for being the most obnoxious fan base in the division? Did Machado have any intent to injure Dustin Pedroia? Is the second base slide rule causing more problems than it’s actually preventing? Do we believe that Matt Barnes intentionally threw at Machado’s head? Why is the media acting like a bunch of pussies because there’s drama in a baseball game?
We give our takes on Buck Showalter claiming that the Red Sox media fanned the flames on the issue and that the Red Sox reacted because the media “called for it”. We also talk about how the viral Twitter audience is made up of some of the dumbest people on planet earth, how this feud between the Red Sox and Orioles isn’t over yet, and we finish with fan questions.
Leave your Red Sox reactions throughout the week on our voicemail, and they could be used at the end of the show: 781-366-0950.
