Pat and Tyler rejoin the pod and the Boston Red Sox have won two series in a row. You won't find anyone on this podcast saying we're back; not a chance. But it feels pretty good winning two series in a row, especially when you close it out with a goddamn Nicky Smooches complete game. It was a Klark's Ketchup worthy performance by Nick Pivetta in the rubber-match against the Astros and feels like the type of moment that could turn a season around. Just to be clear thought, not back. Pat reads some fan mail from people live on air (yes Pat gets fan mail) and also tells us about players who used to have a problem with Jared back when Pat was on the team. We also talk about Pat's plans to use the mayor of Boston to monopolize the city and to become the first owner/player in MLB history. As always, we end with the Stop & Shop lookahead and predict the series against the Mariners which garnered some pretty positive outlooks for this weekend. Enjoy!
