Section 10 Podcast Episode 181: Free Hanley
On Episode 181 of the Section 10 Podcast, we’re breaking down the Hanley Ramirez story — what we had heard, how that lined up with what was actually reported, the current state of the media having to comment on stories that might end up being false, whether or not we believe that the Red Sox didn’t know about it and if other teams knew about it, if we believe Hanley saying that he’s gone unsigned because he just wanted to spend time with his family, the clues that he left on his Instagram story, and every little piece of that story.
But we open with the BIGGEST story of the week — the Red Sox are interested in Adrian Beltre. We talked about it a few episodes back, and now it actually has legs. We also talk about Xander Bogaerts needing to cut the shit with the diving into first base head first stuff, how Alex Cora taking over at second base for Eduardo Nunez at the age of 42 would actually be an upgrade, Chris Sale dominating the Mariners, JD Martinez singlehandedly ending The Carrabis Curse, the popcorn in the press box, watching Red Sox first round pick Triston Casas hitting bombs during BP at Fenway Park, meeting him in person to confirm he’s real, and we finish up with three segments — Stating the Facts, Down in the DM and Emptying the Bench.
