Reinforcements?

Show notes

Episode 644: Conflicted is an understatement.

The Red Sox drop another series and wrap up a particularly disappointing road trip with a lifeless loss to close out the series in Pittsburgh. The guys talk about the eternal question of to horn or not to horn, Steve apologizes for his slander of the yellow jerseys, and they bring on Section 10 alumnus Steve Buckley to chat about the Old-Time Baseball game happening this Thursday!

Steve talks about the game and the record-setting number of former Red Sox players participating, including World Series champion Jake Peavy, whom the Rocket will be facing for an at-bat. Steve also discusses the return of Roman Anthony and a potential call-up of Franklin Arias before departing and giving the guys the opportunity to chat about the return of Trevor Story.

With Story’s return being the most controversial of the rehab stints beginning this week, the crew talks about where he fits on the roster before the second edition of Rusey’s Rants!

Tune in to a loaded edition of The 10 and catch all the Sox talk you need! Chapman’s vesting option, Wilyer Abreu’s hot streak, Masataka Yoshida’s devastating injury, and more!
