Pod By the River

Ed is joined by Gary Morgan of Pirates Fan Forum to talk about the Pirates, their 2024 outlook, and how the hell Pirates fans feel about their controversial offseason.

After weeks of trash talk, training, and anticipation, the event of the season is here. Tyler Milliken steps into the Terror Dome to take on reigning Pick-A-Side heavyweight champion, Hogdale, in a-seven point showdown on topics that include (but are not limited to) Boston Red Sox baseball, 98.5 the Sports Hub personalties, and Jim Henson passion projects. Can Tyler overcome the accused bias of ju...

No Pick-A-Side. No guest. Just Hogdale, Ed, and Brady riffing about the current state of the Red Sox and baseball. Lucas Giolito's injury, Brayan Bello's contract, the fight for the #5 spot in the rotation, where does Ceddanne Rafaela start the season, a roleplay exercise involving John Henry and Chaim Bloom, and much, much more. Also, Hogdale issues a message to Tyler Milliken at the end...

Bayleigh Von Schneider and Chrystal O'Keefe aka the Soxy Chicks join us for the first ever Pick-A-Side fight night! Who will win the best of seven? Judge 1: Hogdale Judge 2: Ryan Brady Judge 3: Jake T. O'Donnell Hosted by Ed Hand This weeks questions! 1. Bigger Oscars snub- Greta Gertwig or Margot Robbie? 2. New MLB uniforms: too revealing or not revealing enough? 3. Who is more annoying?...

In this week's episode, Brady's back after two weeks on a boat and he's got plenty to say about Jordan Montgomery. The boys are all pretty into the signing of CJ Cron, and Hogdale and Ed talk about the ramifications that the signing could have on the rest of the team, particularly Ceddanne Rafaela. THEN, twitter personality BallParkBuzz joins the show to talk about what has stood out t...

In this episode of PBR, the boys go over Justin's first Red Sox tier list of the season. Its full of religious overtones including reference to Satan and Baseball Jesus. Hogdale and Ed wax poetically about the missing piece of the 2024 Red Sox that is starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery. THEN, Sammy James of Play Tessie joins the gang to give a rundown over the origin story of Bradfo boys and a...

Brady is on vacation (again) and Hogdale decided to go to outer space for the day and not recording so it's just Ed and Justin going over the start of spring training, the John Schreiber trade, the Triston Casas contract situation and more. Then Liam Fennessey of Pod on Lansdowne joins us to answer your questions and play Pick-A-Side. Intrigued? Then its time for you to check out Episode 14 of...

Not a lot happening (again) so the boys go over the Red Sox/Netflix deal and when that is only mildly interesting, shift to the never-ending debate over whether or not professional douchebag Trevor Bauer will ever return to Major League Baseball. Then, today's original guest had to raincheck so former Pesky Report castmate "Tim" joins the action for a game of Pick-A-Side against Hogd...

Finally, something to talk about! Prodigal son Theo Epstein is back (kind of) and Brady has never been happier. What is Theo's new role and how will it affect Craig Breslow? What is Gen Z'er Hogdale's position on a man who left the organization when he was 10? Can Ed let go of his made-up grudge? THEN, Hogdale and Ed get into it over the trade package that the Orioles gave up to get th...

Another week, another absence of Red Sox activity. Ed asks the guys if they want to talk about Ryne Stanek but no one wants to so instead, Pesky Report analyst Jake T. O'Donnell talks us through some theories about why the Red Sox haven't been as aggressive on Jordan Montgomery as Scott Boras would like. Then in Pick-A-Side, Jake and Brady duke it out over Matt Barnes (again), Spielberg fi...

Another week of minimal action but the guys try their best to make something out of nothing. Ed reports back from Winter Weekend and details his nightmares of being stalked by a Wolfdale, Hogdale's evil brother who may or may not be real. Hogdale goes off on ownership and no one really objects to this. Brady had a great weekend and holds on to the belief that the Red Sox will sign Jordan Montg...

Nothing happened in Red Sox news the last week, so the boys obsess over Hogdale's way with the ladies before answering your questions with the help of JustinMLB. Then, Brady and Ed face off in Pick-A-Side with Justin taking on the role of judge, jury, and executioner. Winner wins, loser dies*. With so much on the line Brady and Ed give it their all. Who will survive? *This is a lie

Its January and baseball is basically at a standstill, but love is in the air as the boys are joined by iconic Red Sox Twitter legend and Chris Sale's #1 advocate, LadyRedSoxxx, in what turns out to basically be a chaperoned first date between her and Iowa's most eligible bachelor, Hogdale. Hogdale is focused on finally getting a Pick-A-Side win. Can Boston Sports Twitter's finest gent...

Its Ed's birthday and the Red Sox have given him the gift of a trade. Long-time ace Chris Sale is now an Atlanta Brave but the Red Sox have a new second baseman in Vaughn Grissom. Hogdale and Brady have a lot to say about this and the new addition of Lucas Frost Giolito. Then, the boys are joined by WEEI alum Lucy Burdge (@LucilleBurdge) who takes on Hogdale in Pick-A-Side and introduces him t...

Hogdale's out. While the child is away, Ed and Brady will play. This episode somehow ended up being an hour and a half long despite just being a prolonged discussion about the remaining starting pitcher free agents in a post-Yamamoto environment. Jerry DiPoto* shows up as a guest for Brady to do illegal substances with/talk potential George Kirby trades.

Hogdale's out so we brought JustinMLB back to talk Red Sox offseason with Ed and Brady. Unfortunately, there's not a lot to chat about unless you're really into Cooper Criswell or Roberto Perez, so it's mostly Yamamoto talk. There's a surprising amount of disagreement as Brady has PTSD flashbacks to Daisuke Matsuzaka and makes a case for Jordan Montgomery. All this and more!

JustinMLB subs in for Brady this week and its a fun episode. The Tyler O'Neill and Alex Verdugo trades, Juan Soto, and Shohei Ohtani are just a few of our topics this week. Hogdale goes on a rant about his hatred of the Toronto Blue Jays that must be seen to be believed. All this and much, much more!

Not a lot happening but the Ed, Hogdale, and an intoxicated Brady do their best to find things to chat about. Topics include Juan Soto rumors, the Hall of Fame ballot, Ed's hatred for Tony Stark, and much, much more!

The boys are back after Ed's wedding and honeymoon. Hogdale's penis reduction surgery failed and actually had the reverse effect. No word yet on if he is getting a refund. Discussion include Brady's against-the-grain assertion that the Red Sox should trade Jarren Duran and hold on to Alex Verdugo, Hogdale's affinity for cyber bullying Pablo Sandoval and much, much more.

Ed, Brady, and Hogdale leave their previous podcast for greener pastures. Ed introduces them to the "Pick-a-side" game. Hilarity ensues. Also some discussion about Craig Breslow, Ed's irrational hatred for Josh Beckett, Hogdale's hatred for Fenway ketchup, and a whole bunch more.
