EDIT: Sorry for the delay, everyone, Bennett didn't mean to upload a podcast episode with no audio. The episode has been reuploaded, hopefully with no issue this time around.
It is Opening Weekend, and as a result, we have a BIG episode for you. In fact, this episode was so jam-packed that there is going to be a BONUS POD out on April 1st! Bennett sat down to interview author Jonathan D. Cohen about his new book Losing Big: America's Reckless Bet on Sports Gambling. It's a great interview, so please keep your eyes peeled for that.
As for THIS episode, we start by diving into the Athletic's excellent article on Jazz Chisholm Jr., which leads to a thorough and necessary conversation about the unwritten rules of baseball, and how they serve as tools of whiteness that oppress people of color, especially black players in baseball.
Then, we get to the Red Sox. We wrap up our Spring Training coverage, discussing who did and didn't make the Major League roster. After that, Bennett and Harry make some bold predictions for the 2025 Red Sox, including who will hit the most home runs or strike out the most batters in a single game. They also make their playoff predictions and awards guesses.
From here on, every game counts!
