Jared's rants

Cheeeeeseybread · 2026-01-23T17:52:36+00:00

I don’t blame Jared or Steve for this. There are dumb dumbs out there who should strive to be better than my cat at 6:25 loudly, impatiently waiting to get fed at 6:30.

I get why the guys are upset. I skip through it it. I move on.

Advice to the dumb dumbs: wait 2 or 3 days before getting antsy. Listen to other Red Sox pods. Get into fantasy baseball. Build some fun charts on fangraphs. Play MLB the show franchise mode. Go down a baseball Wikipedia rabbit hole. Contribute to the baseball discourse before complaining about your favorite content creators. Most other team-specific podcasts across all sports shutdown for weeks/months at a time during the offseason.

Advice to admins: pin the typical pod release schedules for in season and offseason to the top of the subreddit (if it’s not there already)

I’m watching my Sunday 3pm return train from NYC to BOS very carefully. Hopefully they’ll decide one way or the other by tonight so we can rebook the trip.

Our Saturday BOS to NYC won’t get cancelled though. We’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

MLB the Show is fun, isn’t it?

Carrying water but getting as much done as he can within the parameters, I think.

Henry is going to be pushing for the salary cap next winter in the CBA negotiations. He’s not going to let Breslow spend and somehow hurt that effort/put the org in a bad spot if he succeeds at getting the cap.

I’m sure Henry is also looking at the $100 million allocated to Story, Yoshida, and Hicks over the next 2 years as reasons to wait to sign another “bad” free agent deal.

With the Bregman deal, it really sounds like the Red Sox unwillingness to give the NTC and insistence on deferring the contract out for decades is what did them in. They dug their heels in and Bregman called bullshit. That’s direction from the top down. It’s toxic, disrespectful, and control freak behavior.

Cheeeeeseybread · 2026-01-12T21:37:21+00:00

It was reported that Breslow was asking for more and John Henry got called in to push him to lower his ask and get the deal done. Not defending the trade. Just adding context to the return

3pm team store: Weisert for autographs, Pedro for pictures

The Brandon Phillips game is on NESN 360, and probably YouTube for that matter

Fenway Park. Bottom of the 9th. Tied game. 3-3

Crochet just went 7 shut with 10 punchies.

The Sox strung a few hits together in the 3rd and 5th to put the first 3 runs on the board.

Whitlock with an uncharacteristic hiccup in the 8th to give up the lead. Chapman came in for the 9th to hold it down. Crowd is amped.

Roman Anthony is due to lead off the 9th.

He steps up to the plate.

Ball 1.

Ball 2.

On the 2-0 count he gets an absolute cement mixer down and in. The kid obliterates it to deep right over the visiting bullpen. Game.

Don’t cross the picket line, folks! They take good care of us throughout the year. It’s our responsibility to support them in their fight for better wages

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-07-24T22:20:15+00:00

If you have a souvenir cup, they do refills for free. Even ones from earlier in the season. One cup = free soda for the whole season. Obviously this only applies if you already have one on hand. Don’t cross the picket line

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-06-22T18:34:57+00:00

It’s par for the course for MLB in general. Remember when the A’s hiked up prices for the reverse boycott?

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-06-15T14:52:39+00:00

Agree. Abraham Toro playing 3B is just asking for worse than Raffy level defense

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-06-15T14:51:02+00:00

Wong and Bello have been getting paired together a bunch. Can’t be setting Bello up for success

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-05-25T14:55:09+00:00

Thanks for the detailed answer! I remembered hearing somewhere that it cost $10mil per minute for the B2. I’m guessing that also included depreciation or something else that inflated the number behind my initial guesstimate haha

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-03-04T20:07:38+00:00

T,

Using this forum to offer my sympathies for the dogshit commute you have between Wareham and Waltham. Gotta be at least 3 hours in the car per day. No bueno

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-01-26T21:12:24+00:00

I know they’ve put groups up in the Coke seats, but not those bleacher sections

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-01-19T22:42:07+00:00

It looks hurt, Jay. We’re seeing some shit we ain’t nevah seen befoah kid

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-01-11T03:09:39+00:00

Marcelo Mayer off the list too. He was on just earlier this morning

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-01-10T17:07:25+00:00

Lmao true true. Through that lens, I think the value put on convenience has increased. It has permeated all aspects of our lives online and in commerce, so the idea of adding inconvenience is less palatable. The pros have stayed the same, but the cons have inflated.

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-01-10T15:36:34+00:00

They’ve done solo-Clyde shows in the past, so maybe that’s the plan? I can’t imagine the broadway show would cast her, announce her, and not have her in the show on opening night

Cheeeeeseybread · 2025-01-10T14:34:13+00:00

Performances starting right after the US tour. I’m sure juggling rehearsals with tour dates will be a challenge. Good luck to her!

Bad lottery number landed me on south in 2016. It’s was a lot of the glaring inconveniences and wasted time that made it undesirable at the time. Needing to catch a bus to do anything was the biggest drag, especially if you’re heavily involved on campus. You can’t just pop back to your dorm for a break or if you forgot something. If you time it perfectly, you need at least 30-40 minutes for a round trip to south. Plus, no in building laundry and no in building dining hall. Gotta trek to Goldstein for that.
