Talk Sox Podcast Weekly Questions

[Alex Mayes]

Hello again forums! @Maddie Landis and I really enjoyed the questions that were submitted for our mailbag episode last week. The questions gave us some excellent talking points and were incredibly engaging. We saw a good amount of success with them with the episode as well to the point that the other Diamond Centric podcasts are starting to integrate them into their own shows. After talking with Brock a bit, we've decided to make them a weekly feature moving forward. Our recording schedule this week is a bit wonky, we're recording Thursday night instead of our typical Sunday/Monday schedule so that's why this post is going up now.

If you've got questions, we may have answers! Post your questions below and we'll kick off the episode answering them! We'll put the cutoff for questions at 3 pm CST on Thursday, June 25.

1. It seems like every decade, there is a Red Sox team that is just absolute misery for this fanbase due to record or sheer unlikability ('92, '01, '12, '26). What are the best coping mechanisms for losing a summer before it has even started? 

2. Franklin Arias just started playing a little 2b for Portland. Should we expect a call to Worcester in the next few weeks? Should we expect to see him in BOS at some point in '26? 

3. Maddie, please justify voting Marcus Phillips as the 3rd best prospect in the recent prospect poll. Was it a misclick?

That's not a question for the podcast.
