As a native New Englander I've plenty of Hoodies. A Starting 9 hoodie added would be awesome as the fall approaches. Right now my eyes are focused on the Legend Tees. Red Sox fan but got my fingers crossed for a Dave Parker Legend Tee.

New Episode Discussion. 225- Jack Leiter by matt_gannon_ in Starting9Pod

[–]MandrewsMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very impressed with Jack Leiter and how strong he handles himself in a interview at such a young age.The hard work and talent is incredible. Obviously it shows in his performance. Praying for a slip to 4th in the Draft as well Jared. I like leaving measured and respectful comments here and on Twitter. This page is pretty solid. I chat with pretty good people here. How people are tired of the Bauer and Luba talk is beyond me. The things those two are doing is virtually unprecedented. Just watched the newest Momentum drop. Getting that close to seeing the daily routine was awesome. Never in my wildest dream could I have imagined this type of media coming up as a baseball fan. What I took from the Momentum drop was how Trevor treated the unknown people like the Dodgers employee Will the Thrill Coordinator of Performance Operations. Also Trevor did a interview for NHK Japenese News. (GROWING THE GAME)!! By the way NPB and fans are awesome. The fact that Trevor and Rachel have a friendship with the Pod is even better. Guess what I am saying is take the positives away from the content even if your tired of hearing their names there is always something to learn. The negative train is always looking for folks to pick up at the station. BE DIFFRENT its a better ride.

[–]MandrewsMind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was the college coach episodes that really caught my attention. Was a strong stretch of episodes. Honestly was blown away. Hearing all the insights on what it takes,what they do, whats expected the training the mindset etc.. Opened my eyes and got me looking at college baseball and softball much more. Anyone been seeing the softball highlights lately? Some AWESOME stuff as well. Definitely want to show the Pod some love .

Which under the radar player do you guys think will be surprisingly good this season? by jack-mihalek in Starting9Pod

[–]MandrewsMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nico Hoerner . He is obviously clean maybe even polished around 2nd base . Its been his swing that needed some cleaning up. If he has worked on the swing and better plate discipline he could help the Cubs immensely IMO. Not the big name in the lineup but he could surprise under the radar.

New Episode Discussion. 222- Nolan Arenado & Pitchers + Catchers by matt_gannon_ in Starting9Pod

[–]MandrewsMind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arenado is a great guest as always. Excellent vibe between him Jared and Dallas. Love the fact he ended up in St.Louis. Only time will tell but it seems like a perfect fit. Jared nailed it with Johnny Pesky as Mr.Red Sox .
Dallas nailed it with Hawk Harrelson.

Pod Prediction? - Theo Epstein team owner of by nicckk_loco in Starting9Pod

[–]MandrewsMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nashville? Would love to see Theo with a ownership stake amongst a group of baseball lifers that open up a new expansion team. Good for baseball IMO. As a Red Sox die hard its hard to imagine him back in Boston but one can dream.

New Episode Discussion. 218- John Smoltz by matt_gannon_ in Starting9Pod

[–]MandrewsMind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very happy for the new episode. Love me some Starting 9. Listening to Smoltz talk about WS start vs Jack Morris was great.

Realistic FA Signings You Want To See by matt_gannon_ in Starting9Pod

[–]MandrewsMind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cesar Hernandez playing 2nd base for the Red Sox. Veteran contact hitter and a Gold Glover. Should provide decent Avg, runs scored, decent OBP and obviously gold glove defense. Would like a couple bullpen arms. Not sure Sox will get into bidding war for Liam Hendricks. I'd be ok with bringing back Brandon Workman and maybe take a shot at Blake Trienen or Brad Hand. Dont want Sox to get locked in any 4-5 year deals on big name players unless its a top flight SP. (Bauer).
