Weird week of Red Sox baseball, huh? Let's talk all about it! Let's talk about how clutch Alex Verdugo and Christian Vazquez are, about how un-clutch Bobby Dalbec and Jake Diekman are, and about how the Red Sox move forward following a mixed bag of a home stand.

ALSO: Your regularly-scheduled POL shenanigans, which feature a SPOILER-PACKED discussion of the new Thor movie, an ode to yacht rock music, Bugaboo Creek, local function halls, and some MF named Michael Papajohn.

Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "Sailing" by Christopher Cross
