Section 10 Podcast Ep. 140 featuring Brock Holt
Got a loaded show for you this week — we’ve got Brock Holt on the podcast. Before we get to that, we kick the show off with the Red Sox being out on Giancarlo Stanton, how we all saw that one coming, and just how much players can benefit from playing in big markets. We get right into some Fuckin’ With Hubbs to talk about soft ass Shohei Ohtani and the Yankees hiring Aaron Boone as their manager.
I go on a rant about how I can’t help myself when it comes to battling stupid people on Twitter and Feits talks about how he doesn’t have the energy for it, we address the David Ortiz Dominican trip falling through, David Ortiz tweeting me and telling me he loves me, how an Ortiz interview is in the works, Winter Weekend expectations this year versus last year, some stories from Winter Weekend past, and who would make us star struck now in our late 20’s.
Brock Holt interview — We open talking about his workout routine because he just came from the gym, making fun of athletes who post “#NoOffseason” on their social media workout videos, why he deleted his Twitter, how difficult it was to play with vertigo last season, why Instagram is better than Twitter, his love for Andrew Benintendi, his reaction to John Farrell getting fired, how excited he is for Alex Cora to take over as manager, his relationship with Dustin Pedroia, addressing the narrative that the Red Sox weren’t “likable” last year, how David Price and Pedroia are leaders, how he posts pictures of Benintendi because they get more likes, his favorite David Ortiz story, and how great Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy were together in the booth.
Just a side note — anyone who is anti-Pedroia or anti-Price and thinks that they’re negative influences on the Red Sox clubhouse needs to listen to this interview, accept that you’re wrong and move on.
We also close out the show with a very special mystery guest. It’s a wild ride this week. Buckle up.
