The co-hosts of the Red Sox show from out of left field were feeling, dare we say, a little optimistic as they sat down to record this week's episode--an episode where we welcome resident Yankees fan Emily Nyman (@EmSheDoesIt on Twitter) back on for our AL East preview series.

Then, Lucas Giolito's elbow decided to not cooperate.

On this edition:

-The fallout of potentially losing Giolito for all of 2024 (1:00)

-The prior good vibes we saw in Fort Myers (33:21)

-Teaching Yankees fans how to root for Alex Verdugo (41:53)

All of that and much more on this edition of Pod On Lansdowne!
