Then its time to listen to Pod by the River!

Hogdale and Ed breakdown a series that was a garbage game followed by a really fun one against the Braves.

The Red Sox played a frustrating series with the Cardinals that saw them lose 2 of 3 but the final game provided a little hope that the team can indeed score runs with runners on base.

An intense debate between Ed, Hogdale and Brady over w...

In the first shitshow series of the 2024 season, the Red Sox defense coughs up a pair of easily winnable games, and the bullpen totally implodes after an injury to Nick Pivetta and the news that Trevor Story is going to be out for the season totally kills the vibes.
