Baseball Isn’t Boring

Kaylee Kowalksi is back! This time stopping by the WPBL and catching up with Brittany Apgar, a one-handed player for the LA Queens who still lives and plays as if she doesn't, while also having one of the funniest and most upbeat personalities in the league. You don't wanna miss this one!

Bradfo was boots on the ground at Fenway Park, offering an opportunity to sit down with a player who can offer a unique perspective of what it is like to get a lot early in a career before having to weather the storms of the major leagues - Arizona's Jordan Lawlar. It is a unique perspective on the highs and lows of a young, former first-round pick. There was also a lot more going on in Boston other than just this sit-down. We have Torey Lovullo's reaction to Ketel Marte not showing up for the game, and Payton Tolle's important perspective of the power of the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Telethon, raising millions of dollars for cancer research.

Bradfo is back on the radio as he joins The Jones and Keefe Show on WEEI during the Jimmy Fund Radio Telethon to discuss Adley Rutschman's BRUTAL beginning to his Red Sox career, whether Arias, Story, or Monasterio should be the postseason starting shortshop, Roman Anthony's injury rehab, and more!

Producer Evan (Evan O'Brien) is back with maybe his best MLB Power Rankings ever, this time getting real-time critiques from not only Bradfo but 'Pitch and Moan' host Courtney Finnicum and Julian McWilliams of CBS Sports. There is plenty of debate, whether it be involving the teams at the tippity-top, like the Dodgers and Brewers, or playoff teams that are deemed not worthy of Top 10 status (White Sox?). Also, will Evan put the red-hot Orioles in the mix? It's all on the table in another outstanding power-ranking conversation.

It's time to start mapping out what things might look like when Sept. 29 rolls around, which happens to be the first game of the MLB postseason. That's what Bradfo and the Play Tessie guys (Sammy, Gordo) attempt to do when dissecting the future of the Red Sox, the Yankees and the crazy American League.

Farm director, dream maker and the Shohei Ohtani of making people feel good, Brian Abraham, is back with Bradfo and the Play Tessie guys (Sammy, Gordo) to talk about the No. 3 prospect in baseball, Franklin Arias ... along with living the life as a baseball parent. It's always a good time with Brian and this is no exception.

Whether it's talking about his love for spreadsheets, the science of pitching or elite facial hair, conversations with veteran reliever John Brebbia are always a good time, and this sit-down with nine-year MLB vet and Bradfo is no exception. The man who owns the best beard in baseball is also one of the best interviews in the game, as well.

The Red Sox minor league outfielder, who got people buzzing in April of last season after signing an eight-year, $60 million deal, has found his happy place after a year of struggles, currently living life as one of Triple-A's most productive hitters. Campbell sits down with Bradfo to reflect on his journey and recent success, while also offering his analysis of one of the game's top prospects, Franklin Arias.

The Play Tessie (Gordo, Sammy, and Pat) are back for another awesome edition of BIB Notes, this time taking on the topic of what we should make of the Dodgers. Is this just a hiccup for the world champs? Should they actually be concerned this time around? Can they catch their usual heater come October? It's a next-level breakdown of one of baseball's most important questions.

Courtney Finnicum is back with another episode of 'Pitch and Moan,' this time joined by Sox Machine Host Josh Nelson to discuss the crazy year that these White Sox have been having, if they can hold onto the AL Central, whether they will become big game hunters in free agency after having this success, weigh in on Tim Anderson's retirement, and much more!

Michael Kopech was supposed to be one of the most sought-after free agent relief pitchers last offseason. Then ... he disappeared. Kopech didn't sign with any team, and no news had surfaced about his situation ... until now. Bradfo has a wide-ranging conversation with the world champ, who has proven to be one of the most consistently excellent BIB guests. There is talk of Kopech's free agency, what has happened since the end of last season, and how the last few months have changed how Kopech views baseball and pitching. It's an in-depth discussion about the evolution of Kopech and the game he loves to play.

Bradfo catches up with one of our favorites, Red Sox pitcher Payton Tolle, this time for a 2-Minute Grill to talk about a pitch he his throwing that might be one of the most unique in baseball: his curveball. According to BaseballSavant.com, the Tolle curve is being missed by hitters at a greater extreme than any pitch thrown by a Red Sox pitcher. How? Why? He explains.

Bradfo has some information for you, and you'll want to listen. Remember that MLB trade deadline of a week ago, where the Tigers sold off two top-of-the-rotation pitchers, including the best starter in the game, Tarik Skubal? Well, guess who has the best starting pitching team ERA in baseball since the Deadline? And the No. 2 and 3 teams? They were also clubs ripped for not getting more starting pitching help. It's time to reflect on which teams have been been shot out of a cannon since Aug. 3, and which teams have fizzled since trying to light their respective fuses.

Bradfo is back on 92.9 The Game in Atlanta to talk about the Braves and their realistic chances in the National League heading into the stretch drive. Did they do enough at the trade deadline?

Barstool's Eric Arditti is back with Bradfo, offering everything you need to know about Adley Rutschman's exit from Baltimore. The player. The surprise. The team. The frustration. The inside scoop when it comes the catcher leaving town in the huge trade deadline deal with the Red Sox.

The boys are back for another Baseball Isn't Boring on the Radio, with Bradfo being joined by Gordo and Sammy from Play Tessie. This time, our host comes out of the gate firing, pleading with the baseball community to understand the aberration that has been this run by the Red Sox and how we have never seen it before and will never see it again. There is also a detailed explanation as to why Bradfo interviews people the way he does.

Every single time Bradfo sits down with Mookie Betts it's a good time, and this time is no exception. The guys sit down to talk about how podcasting has impacted the Dodgers shortstop, who has continued evolve as a player, person and a personality. Bradfo also surfaces quick conversation with Sonny Gray (leadership) and Jacob Misiorowski (his biggest difference-maker), while getting another hype video from Dustin Pedroia for Baseball Isn't Boring Night on Sept. 2.

One of the leaders in the clubhouse of the hottest team in baseball, the Red Sox, is a starting pitcher. His name is Sonny Gray.

Bradfo catches up with Red Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet for another 2 Minute Grill, this time to detail the latest when it comes to returning from his shoulder injury.
