Play Tessie - A Red Sox Podcast

All the momentum from the sweep in Detroit disappeared from Gordo, Sammy, and Pat with another Red Sox series loss this time to the Rays. What's the best word to describe the lackluster offensive output from the Sox lineup? Then, Trevor Story is struggling to a point where some significant change to his role might need to change. And, Jarren Duran caused a stir once again this time on social media responding to a long-time Boston media member.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are trying to figure out how to feel following the Red Sox sweep of the Tigers in Detroit. Can fans feel happy or excited about these wins and how would you characterize the state of the Sox? Then, Payton Tolle had an another amazing start while Brayan Bello bounced back to create some more questions about the starting rotation. And, the big headline came from Framber Valdez plunking Trevor Story which no matter what the reason was nothing but intentional.

Things have not gotten better as Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to ANOTHER series loss for the Red Sox. How Ranger Suarez's injury just made things go from bad worse on top of a Sox lineup that couldn't hit with runners in scoring position against the struggling Astros' pitching. Then, more clubhouse issues may be leaking out with contradictory statements from Willson Contreras and Marcelo Mayer. And, Caleb Durbin has been one of the poster children for the bad offense so far to a point that its becoming less likely he turns things around.

No break from the drama for Gordo, Sammy, and Pat with more information coming out from the mass layoffs on the Red Sox coaching staff. If the lineup still struggles to hit, can the blame really be taken off of Pete Fatse like some in the organization think? Then, Roman Anthony is one of the headlines of the struggling lineup, but long-term outlooks on him shouldn't be affected. And, Brayan Bello's emotions have no place for someone who might be out of the rotation if not for the Garrett Crochet injury.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat sit down with Red Sox starting pitcher Payton Tolle and have a wide-ranging discussion including his whirlwind 2025. What was it like to go from pitching in college to the playoff stage all in the same year? Also, Tolle describes his love for cinnamon rolls with his now-fiancé as part of what his offseason look like. And, if you're looking for mustache grooming tips, Payton Tolle is the guy to look towards.

By Elizabeth A. Mitchell Recently, while I was imparting that rarest of elusive concepts, a civics education, to a group of Fourth and Fifth Graders, I presented the "Preamble" to the Constitution of the United States. We listed, on that dying breed of communicative forums – the blackboard – the reasons for the establishment of our Constitution: "to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." The students were enthused by the clarity and comprehensiveness of the "Preamble." After this foray into foundational awareness, we sallied forth to imbibe the "First Amendment" to the Constitution, including the words "Congress shall make no law. . .abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble." The chalk had barely skimmed the slate when a hand shot up in the front row. A young girl, age 10, interjected, "But you might get assassinated." This fifth-grade civics student was not objecting to the high-minded ideals of the "First Amendment," nor was she contradicting the sentiment embodied in the statement. She was trying to alert me to the reality of its application. I rushed to reassure her, with the usual platitudes, reiterating that we are certainly glad that the "First Amendment" protects our right to free and safe speech. I thought I had assuaged all the counter-constitutional confusion when I was interrupted by another urgent hand. A sprite of a girl, age 9, interjected, "Yes, Doctor E., but you might get assassinated." It was not so much the statements that the children made, nor the urgency of their wanting to warn me, which shocked me. It was the certitude with which they now believed their right to speech is a relic of the past, a dusty textbook lesson, no longer applicable or attainable. They were matter-of-fact in their tone, as if patiently explaining to me, the well-intentioned but somewhat outdated person at the front of the room, the new normal. I am not sure that we, the older and (allegedly) wiser generation, are aware just how much the worldview of the younger generation has been rocked, deconstructed, and reformed in recent years, but especially in the past months. And what can be our response? Are these children stating aloud what we have all accepted subconsciously, but not yet admitted to ourselves? I was reminded of a scenario during a recent brutal snowstorm, when a young man got stuck in his car exiting the garage in our building. He jumped out to clear the tires of snow, and his car doors automatically locked. He looked, bemused, into the car, where his dashboard and means of managing life lay just out of reach. The key in his running ignition, the digital access card for the building, and, most important, yet most frustrating of all, the Alexa app on his phone. I saw the young man yelling through his closed car window, instructing Alexa to call AAA. This was a job for real people. I put on my snow boots and ventured outside. After AAA came and opened the car door, we were still left with a Prius stuck in a snowbank. I offered to steer while my new friend (ironically named Alex) pushed the car from behind. Slowly, two more people, a young man and a young woman, came to offer assistance. As the two young men pushed the car, I rolled down the window and took instructions. It was then that I heard the young woman yelling to the wind, "Where are the people?" "Excuse me," I stared at her, "what people?" "The people who come to help," she said in a daze, looking around helplessly. "We are the people," I told her. She stared at me. And yet, this statement is perhaps the response we also owe to those street-smart, but not yet battle-tested Fourth and Fifth Graders. We are the people. "We the People of the United States. . .do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." The est...

Gordo and Sammy dive into the firing that rocked the baseball world and all of Red Sox nation. How shocking was it to see manager Alex Cora and five members of his coaching staff dismissed? Also, all eyes turn to Craig Breslow since ownership seemingly gave him the green light to shake things up. And, it may be a hard time for players, but guys like Trevor Story and Jarren Duran aren't getting tons of sympathy for the way they're handling things.

Baseball Isn't Boring on the radio can be heard every sunday at 10am, but this one was eventful. Alex Cora and several Red Sox coaches were let go. Bradfo, Gordo, and Sammy break it all the chaos down. Breslow and Kennedy presser heard within.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are not feeling great, even close to panicking with the lifeless Red Sox losing their first two games to the Yankees. How concerned should everyone be about the lifeless performance from the offense? Also, all the struggles from the Sox goes back to the roster construction and outfield logjam left by Craig Breslow. And, it doesn't get easier with public enemy number one Cam Schlittler pitching his first game in Fenway against what's expected to be a rabid crowd.

After a split on Marathon Weekend with the Tigers, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat try to diagnose the confusing feelings about the Red Sox. Are they really playing as good as their recent record would show or is it just a smoke screen? Then, Garrett Crochet struggled again, but it was nowhere near his previous start in Minnesota and showed some promising signs. And, Sonny Gray's trip to the IL just made the pitching depth a whole lot more complicated.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to a rough series for the Red Sox in Minnesota that was salvaged in the finale. Why consistency has become the key word in the 2026 season? Then, Garrett Crochet had the worst start of his career and being so far from his usual self there could be some level of concern sparked. And, addressing another fan incident featuring Jarren Duran this time with a Twins' fan.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat get their first chance to sit down with Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas to discuss his journey back from the gruesome injury he suffered last May. Where is Casas' mind at as his ruptured patellar tendon continues to heal? Also, Casas explains why he gave his stamp of approval on the team acquiring Willson Contreras. And, from painting his fingernails to shaving his offseason beard, Casas goes into detail about the activities that helps him get closer with his parents.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat keep seeing things get better for the Red Sox with a second straight series win in St. Louis. After getting shut down by Dustin May, how great was it to see Willson Contreras help turn the vibes around against his former team? Then, with Ranger Suarez and Brayan Bello pitching their best games of the season, there is clear vision of how the Sox can rack up wins on the strength of the rotation. And, the outfield logjam and roster construction remain an issue with talent like Masataka Yoshida riding the bench while trying to get guys like Roman Anthony and Jarren Duran going.

While the week didn't start hot, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are satisfied with the Red Sox winning their first series of the season at home against the Brewers. Is this series the start of a big turnaround for the Sox as they hit the road again? Then, Willson Contreras showed the kind of attitude that should be more than welcoming to fans and players alike. And, before the two wins, "Sell the Team" chants were quite loud from the Fenway crowd, but may be directed the wrong way.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat get into a deep conversation with Red Sox catcher Carlos Narvaez about a variety of offseason topics. How was Narvaez able to power through his rookie season through a bad knee suffered very early on? Then, even though he wasn't part of the team, Narvaez felt a special connection with his home country of Venezuela winning the World Baseball Classic. And, Narvaez continues to feel the special connection with Boston fans.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat get into another series loss from the Red Sox as they lose two of three in their first home series to the Padres. Which area is suffering the most and has the feeling of dread from last episode changed? Then, Trevor Story looks like the biggest liability at this point and Marcelo Mayer overtaking shortstop seems like it should be closer. And, while there was encouragement from Sonny Gray, the cold did no favors for Connelly Early and Ranger Suarez.

If things were bad for the Red Sox after Cincinnati, they got much worse in Houston with three uncompetitive losses. Gordo, Sammy, and Pat share their levels of concern for the Sox after their first six games of the season. Then, the lineup has felt lifeless for quite a bit, but it really can't get worse can it? And, the run prevention strength from the Sox didn't appear.

Fresh off making the Red Sox rotation, rookie starter Connelly Early joins Gordo, Sammy, and Pat from Fort Myers to discuss his ascent through the minors to the end of last season in Boston. Early also gets into his friendship with fellow pitching prospect Payton Tolle and what their relationship is like. And, Early reveals his long-lasting affiliation with taking care of service dogs and why he goes by Connelly instead of his real first name.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat get into the first series of the season going against the Red Sox in Cincinnati. What were the biggest mistakes made by the Sox in their two losses over the weekend to the Reds and will these concerns linger all season long? Then, the issues in 2025 regarding runners in scoring position have carried over, but the guys don't believe the Sox will struggle like this all year. And, there is tons of positivity still to take away like the first start from Connelly Early and the two monster home runs from Wilyer Abreu.

The 2026 season got off to the best start you could think of with the Red Sox winning their Opening Day game with the Reds. Gordo and Sammy look at all the notable moments from the victory including Roman Anthony building off his WBC momentum for a scraping offense. Then, it was a little surprising to see Isiah Kiner-Falefa starting, but Marcelo Mayer's pinch-hitting proved to be the difference. And, Garrett Crochet looked just like Garrett Crochet which could be a bit of a shock this early into the season.

The beast! The war pig! Whatever you want to call him, Garrett Crochet joins Gordo, Sammy, and Pat from Fort Myers to talk about the sting of being eliminated from the playoffs and the group he's with entering year two. Who amongst his pitching peers is Crochet excited to work with? Also, Crochet discusses more about his love for aquariums and the sea creature he has a tattoo of. And, you won't believe what gets the Red Sox ace to break when discussing what TV shows he watched as a kid.

Spring Training is now in the rearview mirror and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are ready to give their predictions for the 2026 Red Sox season. Where will the lineup and pitching staff stack up with the rest of the MLB? Then, despite what projections may say, the Sox will have home run hitters to a certain extent. And, the player that may be quiet in the baseball world, but will establish themselves during the year.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are coming to you from Fort Myers with Spring Training near its very end. Reactions to Marcelo Mayer being named the Red Sox Opening Day second baseman. Also, Kristian Campbell will start the season in Worcester, but no one should be expecting a superstar rise when it comes to Campbell's success. And, would a Payton Tolle or Connelly Early piggyback to Ranger Suarez beginning the year hurt the development from the young pitchers?

There's one more team in the AL East to preview in our Outlook series and that would be the New York Yankees. Gordo, Sammy, and Pat give their assessment on how the Bronx Bombers are essentially running things back from their offseason. Also, with the return of Gerrit Cole and emergence of now villain Cam Schlittler, how good is the Yankee rotation? And, it may not be the strongest lineup, but its got Aaron Judge and that's all New York may need.

Not quite what Gordo, Sammy, and Pat were expecting out of the World Baseball Classic Final which saw Venezuela take down the USA. Where things went wrong for Mark DeRosa and his roster and the overall assessment of the WBC tournament. Then, the big winners from the WBC had to be the Red Sox for all their players breaking out for their respective countries. And, before the game Sox got some reinforcements in the bullpen by signing Tommy Kahnle.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have a chat with Red Sox broadcast analyst Lou Merloni with a little over a week away from the season starting in Cincinnati. How would Lou asses what moves the Sox made and didn't make this offseason? Then, Lou gives his expectations for Roman Anthony and what would qualify as a good season for him. And, the stock that Lou is taking from what we've seen in the World Baseball Classic.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to the breaking news that the Red Sox are adding to their bullpen by signing veteran lefty Danny Coulombe. What role will Coulombe have and how does the rest of the bullpen shape up? Then, its time to continue the AL East Outlook series and feature the reigning American League Champion Toronto Blue Jays. How would their offseason of adding Dylan Cease, but losing Bo Bichette be described and how do they stack up with the Sox?

The big story to come from the World Baseball Classic has been the dominance from the Red Sox representations. Gordo, Sammy, and Pat break down Brayan Bello figuring out his pitches and Jarren Duran crushing lefties in a big way. Then, how do the Sox manage the playing time from their surplus of outfield hitters? And, Masataka Yoshida doesn't seem like an everyday player so his pinch hitting skills will be put to the test quite often.

Masataka Yoshida has been on another planet during the World Baseball Classic and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat can't help but notice. Does this success mean anything for what Yoshida could do for the Sox in the 2026 season? Also, it might not be playoff baseball, but the WBC carries quite the energy from the players to the fans. And, we might need to start preparing for life without Romy Gonzalez as he gets another opinion on his shoulder injury.

Our AL East Outlook series continues with Gordo, Sammy, and Pat diving into the big moves made by the Orioles. What kind of grade do the guys give Baltimore for their offseason including signing Pete Alonso? Also, the Orioles' roster is filled with former top prospects like Colton Cowser who need to start proving themselves. And, while the lineup looks better and the starting rotation got upgrades, there may still be holes in the bullpen and frontline pitching.

A name we thought was in the past resurfaced and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are wondering why that is. How believable is it that the Red Sox could still acquire Isaac Paredes from the Astros? Also, Jarren Duran remains the most likely name in a trade, but at this time in Spring Training the value might not be equal. And, a deal would make things awkward with Caleb Durbin already dealt for and Marcelo Mayer likely to be demoted if it happens.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are breathing a sigh of relief that Roman Anthony wasn't injured on his outfield collision, but are noticing two rough starts this spring from Brayan Bello. Is there any nervousness or concern about Bello's production in the starting rotation after his start to spring training? Then, Connelly Early's spring is making the guys rethink who should have that fifth and final rotation spot. And, the near-term solution for Payton Tolle would be as a bullpen arm, but long-term solution is to keep developing him as a starter.

« Mais Dieu dit à Balaam : « Tu n’iras pas avec eux ! Tu ne maudiras pas ce peuple, car il est béni ! » Nombres 22, 12Dans Nombres 22, le roi Balak de Moab, inquiet de la progression des Israélites, demande à Balaam, un prophète, de maudire le peuple d'Israël. Bien que Balaam soit initialement réticent, il accepte après l'insistance du roi, mais Dieu lui interdit de maudire Israël. En chemin, l'âne de Balaam voit l'ange de Dieu et refuse d'avancer, ce qui entraîne une confrontation miraculeuse entre Balaam et l'ange. Dieu permet finalement à Balaam de bénir Israël au lieu de le maudire.**** SOUTENIR  C'est par ici que ça se passe 👇https://www.helloasso.com/associations/l-amour-vaincra/formulaires/5sur Youtube si le lien ne s'ouvre pas :https://tr.ee/ZfblXxPourquoi ? "Le Bible en 1 an" une sacrée aventure et ... un énorme boulot pour ma ptite équipe et moi 😅 Pour nous aider et vous offrir une écoute de la bible la plus agréable possible, on a fait appel à des professionnels du podcast, et continuer à travailler sur tous les autres projets de l'Amour vaincra.

For a second straight year, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are ready to preview the rest of the AL East beginning with the Rays to start the division outlook series. Should Tampa be viewed as the team most likely to finish last in the division? Also, there always seems to be magic in the air when it comes to the unexpected success the Rays have, but that time might be coming to an end. And, there is power in Junior Caminero and the return of Shane McClanahan, but Kevin Cash will have his work cut out for him.

Before getting into the big headlines, Gordo, Sammy and Pat react to recent events from Spring Training including a big day for Pirates' prospect Konnor Griffin and a bad one for umpire Mitch Trzeciak getting corrected by ABS multiple times. Then, going back to Alex Cora's comments about Marcelo Mayer's roster spot and how realistic it could be that Mayer won't be on the Opening Day roster. And, what kind of extension are the Sox going to have to offer Wilyer Abreu if both sides are truly interested in one?

Gordo, Sammy and Pat pick up where they left off last episode when discussing the part Triston Casas will play in 2026. Where will Casas start with the Red Sox and could he make Opening Day with the videos and reports that have come out? Also, the way the roster is constructed there might not even be a spot for Casas on the roster. Then, the guys get into a debate about who the faces of Boston sports are and how they rank amongst each other.

Let the games begin! Its time for Gordo, Sammy, and Pat to talk about the first set of games for the Red Sox this Spring Training. With eyes on the starting rotation, who will be the fifth starter in that rotation after the spring? Also, Johan Oviedo's upside gives him a good chance to earn a spot in the rotation. And, if we skipped Spring Training, it sounds like that final spot would go to the veteran Patrick Sandoval.

To the surprise of many, we actually heard Red Sox ownership speak in the form of Tom Werner. Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to the candid comments Werner made about the Rafael Devers' saga and losing Alex Bregman. Also, should fans want ownership to speak out honestly or just to squash any stories that come up? And, Devers may still be in a Red Sox uniform if first base didn't become an issue with Triston Casas going down last season.

Just when we thought there wasn't anything noteworthy to come out of Fort Myers, Gordo, Sammy, and Pat have plenty of thoughts after hearing from Sam Kennedy. What to make of Kennedy saying Alex Bregman didn't want to be with the Red Sox and how to treat when ownership speaks to the media? Then, Masataka Yoshida seems like the forgotten player on the Sox roster and no one knows what exactly his role will be in 2026. And, its not just the starting rotation that has depth and Triston Casas and Kristian Campbell are likely to start the year in Worcester.

Everyone is down in Fort Myers for Spring Training and there's mixed feelings from Gordo, Sammy, and Pat after handing out their offseason grades. What are the biggest issues fans had with their grading system of the Red Sox offseason? Then, if ZIPS projections mean anything, it'll be a tough season for the lineup without a hitter with more than 20 home runs. And, the focus for Craig Breslow was defense, but just how good is it?

Right before pitchers and catchers report to JetBlue Park, the Red Sox make a big trade to finally fill that void in the infield. Gordo, Sammy, and Pat give their thoughts on Caleb Durbin and others being acquired from Milwaukee for Kyle Harrison and David Hamilton among names sent back. Also, Durbin has shown to be versatile so its anyone's guess where he'll be on the infield on Opening Day. And, with the roster seemingly set it stone, the guys evaluate what kind of offseason the Sox had.

Its a special Who Says No episode as Gordo, Sammy, and Pat go through and react to listener submitted trade proposals for the Red Sox. Which ones are the most realistic and are these even deals the Sox will make before the season starts? Also, Isaac Paredes' name came up in a lot of submissions so Houston and Boston could be on a collision course.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat were definitely shocked when they found out the Red Sox signed Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Why did the Sox pay $6 million for a defense first infielder who struggles with the bat? Then, some reports say that the Sox still want to acquire a bat so maybe IKF isn't the only infielder they bring on. And, after Framber Valdez signed with the Tigers, that Ranger Suarez contract he signed with the Red Sox looks very different.

We are now less than one week away from pitchers and catchers reporting to Fort Myers and Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are wondering if a trade is coming anytime soon. Will the Red Sox make a trade for a bat or stick with the roster they've got by holding out for a better option down the road? Then, it could come down to the Sox not being able to make a deal since its so late in the offseason. And, if the Sox don't make another move, they'll have to choose between David Hamilton and Nick Sogard who should start at second base.

We finally saw some action from the Red Sox, but not the kind Gordo, Sammy, and Pat were hoping for. How big of a deal is it for the Sox to trade away Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin? Then, the guys get into into it with each other about Eugenio Suarez signing with the Reds if the sox should have been more aggressive to get him. And, its becoming more and more likely whoever starts the year at second base will be internal and Kristian Campbell is a polarizing name many haven't paid attention to.

As we still wait for the Red Sox to make a trade to complete their offseason, Pat has a Who Says No proposal for Gordo and Sammy to fill out their lineup. Would the Sox and Marlins make a one-for-one deal to bring in Xavier Edwards for Franklin Arias? Also, where would this deal rank among previous trade ideas and how Edwards compares to another potential trade option in the Cubs' Nico Hoerner?

Hard to think about the Red Sox when the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, but Gordo, Sammy, and Pat are able to find the connection. How good is the Boston sports landscape right now? Then, where do the Red Sox stack up in the American League if they entered the season with the roster as currently constructed? And, the looming salary cap that is the focus of a potential lockout is the dark cloud that is hovering around the state of baseball.

Gordo, Sammy, and Pat keep waiting for the Red Sox to make a trade to add to their lineup and land on the Cubs' Matt Shaw. Should the Sox try to acquire Shaw and how would he fit in their lineup? Then, Craig Breslow maybe shared some info about the kind of infielder he's looking for that is more defensive oriented. And, no matter who Boston gets, they won't be a seamless fit based on the price they'll pay or the player they're getting.
