Staredowns and nonsense at the end of a 7-5 loss; Josh tries to find teh bad guys and good guys while also helping make sense of ths bizarre 2019 season. Sound from Alex Cora and free agent Rick Porcello. Happy trails for now...!

Sox Daily with Josh Lewin

Sox Daily Ep. 107: Ending On A Sour Note

Pour one out for Porcello. And Mitch Moreland too while you're at it. As their respective red Sox tenures potentially wind to an end, each player was terrific in Texas Wednesday night. Josh recaps the 10-3 win; there's sound from Alex Cora and a deep-dive mystery player who hadtwo hits and you'd never believe would make an appearance on the post-game star of the game show.

Sox Daily Ep. 106: One For The Road

Another four-hour game but this one goes in the win column. E-Rod gets #19 (although it sure wsn't easy) and Mookie homers before hurting his foot and leaving the game. Josh recaps and tells you what it all means; Alex Cora speaks after the game as does closer Brandon Worlman who saved #16 in his hometown.

Sox Daily Ep. 105: Everything's Longer In Texas

Jhoulyis Chacin's no-hit bid hits the wall hard and the Sox fall to Tampa Bay, 7-4.  No more Rays games this year; two more E-Rod starts though, which Josh talks about in advance of the Texas series.  Alex Cora speaks about the pitching and more... Josh breaks down the throw of the year in MLB, the one that stunned Avasail Garcia into a damn coma.

Sox Daily Ep. 104: We've Chacin Better Days

With the Sox officially eliminated, they can at least do the spoiler thing in Tampa Bay now -- Sunday was a good start. JOsh recaps the three games played overthe weekend with sound from Alex Cora and JD Martinez, then previews the series finale.

Sox Daily Ep. 103: Spoiler Alert

Eddie Rodriguez has a higher WAR than MadBum and Kershaw?? Yup. He also has 18 of the team's 80 wins now too. The Thursday game was a 5-4 Red Sox winner: Josh recaps, Alex Cora speaks, and the Tampa Bay series is previewed.

Sox Daily Ep. 102: Eduardominance

After an 11-3 SF win, Bruce Bochy's at 2000 career wins as a manager. Alex Cora- wouldn't you have thought 200 by now? 108 last year and 92 this year? Nope. Gonna have to hustle to get to 82 this year now. Josh provides a brief recap of the Wednesday loss, professes his man love for Willie Mays, and looks ahead to MadBum's first ever Fenway start Thursday.

Sox Daily Ep. 101: They Might Be Giants

If you don't get the pun, see, Mike Yazstremski's grandpa was a famous Red Sox who had a bread named after him, and... ah, the hell with it.  The Jr Yaz HR was a poweful, fun moment at Fenway Tuesday night, but the other 5 hours and 53 1/2 minutes were fairly pointless and frustrating. At least we have some David Ortiz sound for you... and some fun nuggets about Mike Yaz's grandfather... and a brief recap of the 7-6 15 inning loss.

Sox Daily Ep. 100: Big Yaz-Bred

From the files of too little too late, a crisp two-game sweep in Philly for the Sox to keep 'em on life support. Josh recaps, and gets you sound from the hitting heroes of the weekend, Benintendi (game winning sac fly) and Christian Vazquez (who had 6 of the 8 RBI's.)  Alex Cora speaks; Josh peeks ahead to the San Fran series.

Sox Daily Ep. 99: Philly (Kinda) Special

Staving off playoff elimination, NINE Sox pitchers combined for a 7-4 win in Toronto Thursday night. Josh rolls in sound from Alex Cora and run-scoring-machine Mookie Betts, looks ahead to the Phillies series, and throws out some ideas about things to watch for down the stretch.

Sox Daily Ep. 98: A Faint Pulse

Canadian exchange rate aside, 0 runs on 2 hits is sub-optimal. The Bobby Poyner & Co pitching staff got roughed up, the Sox lost their 5th straight and it's Josh's job to distract you from all that. Alex Cora speaks, the game is indeed summarized, but there are also odd asides about hand puppets, J-Lo and the '03 Cowboy Up Team.  So, yeah.

Sox Ep. 97: You Gotta Be Poutine Me On

Oh my God, they killed Eovaldi and the bullpen.  Rowdy Tellez and the Jays find a way yet again against the Sox this year; a forgettable year that finds Josh searching for other things to talk about besides this game.  Yes, Eovaldi and Alex cora speak, but this is a Flashback to '99-intensive podcast with an ode to a starter who could really go deep in to games. (Hint: he rhymes with "Bay-dro.")

Sox Daily Ep. 96: Blame Canada

David, hello. David, goodbye. Ortiz returns; Dombrowski departs. Josh offers his take on the whirlwind events off the field... Alex Cora meets the media... Ortiz speaks... and there's a brief recap of a 5-0 lackluster loss to the Yankees as well if you listen long enough.

Sox Daily Ep. 95: OK, So Now What?

** RECORDED BEFORE THE GM NEWS ** Josh gives his take on taking just one out of three vs the Yankees and breaks down the pitching hardcore.  The games are recapped, the minor league stars are noted, and there's sound from Mitch Moreland Alex Cora. PS 23 pitchers in three games seems like plenty, right?

Sox Daily Ep. 94: And That's That

The Red Sox have been bad at Fenway all year, but even on a night where they allow only two hits they somehow lose on a play at the plate in the 9th. Josh recaps the game and walks you through the crowded house in the bullpen; there is sound from Nate Eovaldi and Alex Cora as well. Yankees series previewed if you care to listen all the way to the end.

Sox Daily Ep. 93: Out At Home

WEEI Red Sox play-by-play voice Josh Lewin takes you inside the broadcast booth and provides daily analysis and updates on the team.
