The Bradfo Sho

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora broke out the razor and his team broke out their bats, with the Sox celebrating their manager shaving off his beard with a nine-run outburst against the Braves.

While the major league team is wallowing, Bradfo brings you some guests who might distract Red Sox fans from their sorrows. He sits down with Red Sox assistant GM Eddie Romero to talk about an 18-year-old outfielder, Miguel Bleis, who might be on his way to becoming the next big thing for the Sox. Bradfo also talks with Alex Verdugo about his quest to pitch, while also catching up with former Red Sox Michael Kopech, who is starring for the White Sox after being included in the Chris Sale trade.

After their fifth loss in a row, a Mother's Day defeat at the hands of the White Sox, the  Red Sox find themselves nine games under .500 with an offense that offers little hope. Bradfo is joined by Brian Barrett to air their grievances when it comes to this team.

As part of the Bradfo Sho podcast ' Chopping It Up With Nate the Ace' Bradfo also sat down with Red Sox starter Michael Wacha to talk about one of the most unique pitches in the American League, his changeup.

The Boston Red Sox woke all alone in last-place in the American League East on May 7 for the first time since 2012 after dropping a 4-2 decision to the White Sox at Fenway Park. It marked the 13th time the Red Sox have given up four or more runs, winning just one of those games. Things are not going well for Alex Cora's club, to say the least.

To distract you from the Red Sox' struggles we give you a sit-down with Bradfo and Nathan Eovaldi. They dive into Eovaldi's mindset regarding so many things - preparation, approach, career, contract. Bradfo also grabs another Red Sox starter Michael Wacha to talk about the evolution of one of the most unique pitches on this entire staff - Wacha's changeup. To kick it all off, Coop and Bradfo set the scene for what was an interesting few days at Fenway.

The Boston Red Sox lost yet another series thanks to an 8-0 defeat at the hands of the Angels and Shohei Ohtani. It was the fifth straight series the Sox have dropped, with their record in series play now falling to 1-6-1. They are also now 4-11 over their last 15 games. Not good. Bradfo breaks down the reality of the Red Sox' situation, while offering an honest perspective from starter Rich Hill.

The Boston Red Sox suffered a gut-punch of an extra-inning loss to the Angels, dropping the 10-5 decision after a dominating five-inning start from Garrett Whitlock. The performance by Whitlock and the implosion from the bullpen offered a painful reminder that the second-year hurler isn't going to be able to live the life as an ace starter because he is needed too much to close out games. Also included is Matt Barnes' postgame press conference.

David Ortiz allowed the Bradfo Sho the unique experience of joining him during his private tour of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, with Bradfo following the former Red Sox slugger throughout his big day in Cooperstown. Bradfo and Ian Browne of MLB.com join Ortiz in reflecting on what was a few hours none of the trio will forget any time soon.

Bradfo and Coop have two dynamite conversations with Red Sox history-making minor-league coach Bianca Smith and the Bradfo Sho's minor league correspondent, Boots on the Ground Alex Binelas. It's inspiring. It's informative. It's really important if you need to know how to stretch $30 of meal money in Hickory, North Carolina. It's definitely worth a listen.

Capping off another spectacular week on the Bradfo Sho, Bradfo and Coop welcome in both Alex 'Boots on the Ground' Binelas - the show's official minor-league insider/player - and Tyler Danish, whose inspirational story was added to with an eye-opening Red Sox debut. "Dreams Come True." It's the tattoo on Danish's forearm and symbolizes the pitcher's career ... along with everyone who subscribes to the Bradfo Sho Podcast.

Just three guys hanging in the Red Sox dugout talking body wash sponsorships, secret first base conversations, the real Derrick White, what a difference a year makes, the best bats, the best concerts, the best guitars, and, of course, some Joe Castiglione word association. That's exactly what you get as Bradfo and Coop chop it up with Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec on the latest Bradfo Sho podcast.

Bradfo sits down with Red Sox pitcher James Paxton, who is still coming back from Tommy John surgery. The two discuss Paxton's unique path to Boston, which includes stops in Kentucky, Alaska, Seattle, Cuba and New York. Along the way he has been smoked out of a bus, attacked by an eagle, and landed with a very cool nickname. Bradfo and Coop cap it off by dissecting the conversation, along with Paxton's lot in life.

Red Sox pitcher Garrett Whitlock news in recent days after signing life-changing contract extension. During his press conference Whitlock talked about how it wasn't long ago he was just trying to make end's meet. Well, one person who witnessed Whitlock's resolve and work ethic first-hand was Chris Donohoo, the owner of Donohoo Auto where Whitlock worked as a car porter and earned a unique nickname and lasting reputation. Bradfo and Coop talk to Donohoo, who offers unique insight to  Whitlock's existence just a few years ago. Also, Coop talks about his take on the new stuff at Fenway Park.

With the Boston Red Sox season firmly underway there have been a few things that have surprised both Bradfo and Coop. Two of them - Austin 'Big Fudge' Davis' increased velocity and Rich 'Dick Mountain' Hill's new pitch - Bradfo gets the bottom of with sitdowns with each player. The guys also dive into the merits of Kiké Hernandez's mic'd up moment, along with some other eyebrow-raisers from the first week.
