BLACK LIVES MATTER: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/# Baseball. Is. Back. After months of seemingly endless negotiations, the owners and players have agreed to set the stage for a 60-game mad dash of a season. What do Fitz and Tim like about the new rules to change the game in 2020? What do they not like? What medical advice can they provide? Spoiler on the last part: not much, if any. Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "The Bitch is Back" by Reginald Kenneth Dwight himself. BLACK LIVES MATTER: https://blacklivesmatters.carrd.co/#

Episode 18: Baseball, Take Two

We talk about how Korea baseball is electric. Swole Daddy is our new king. We have committed our lives--and more importantly our brands--to our beloved NC Dinos. We broke down some all-time Cape League teams; which team has the best alumni? We also made fun of Tim for being a SCHOLAR and getting an EDUCATION like a NERD. Then, some breaking news came our way. It was a roller coaster of an episode. Come join Dino Nation and follow us on Twitter; @skg_18, @FitzyMoPena, and @timdurgin9 Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (Not Was)

Episode 17: Pod on Lansdino

The report on the Red Sox came down: it was nothing! Thus, Sarah and Fitz talk about nothing, much like an episode of Seinfeld. Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, outro song is "If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)" by The 1975. What a bop. New album is gonna rule. Follow us on Twitter because I said so: @skg_18, @FitzyMoPena, and @timdurgin9

Episode 16: Look At Da Slapa Da Wrist

We answered your mailbag question while in quarantine, and then we cancelled the Rays' mascot. He's done, sis. Stan Wally. Follow us on Twitter and tweet #RaymondIsOverParty while you're at it: @FitzyMoPena, @skg_18, and @timdurgin9. Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "The Mother We Share" by CHVRCHES. #RaymondIsOverParty

Episode 15: #RaymondIsOverParty (ft. Your Questions)

For the first time in a while, "Fire and Rain" doesn't lead us into the pod! It almost did, but Chris Sale doesn't need Tommy John surgery (right now) does he? Didn't think so, buster. Tim and Fitz discuss the averted Chris-is and what that means--or maybe doesn't--going forward. Colin McHugh is a Red Stocking, that's cool! Y'know who else was a Red Stocking? Pedro Ciriaco. Y'know who wasn't a Red Stocking? Edwin Jackson. Those kings are both brought up. Fitz is also ready to steal Tim's money in a dynasty fantasy league. Follow us on Twitter before more bad news strikes the Red Sox organization: @FitzyMoPena, @timdurgin9, and @skg_18. Opening song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, closing song is "Adore You" by Harry "Arry" Styles.

Episode 14: Edwin Jackson and the Averted Chris-is

I'm getting sick and tired of putting "Fire and Rain" in the intro, folks. Brock Holt is a Milwaukee Brewer. Brock Holt is not a Boston Red Stocking. That made one of us really sad, and another kinda sad. The Mookie trade has been revised and officially completed. The ownership can't seem to say the right thing. This offseason has been a disaster. So, we talked about it! We also got a nice performance from our beloved chairman! Once again, opening songs are "Baseball" by Hippo Campus and "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor. Closing song is the Shittyflute edition of "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. The entire version of that masterpiece can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIcdj4UH9u0 Follow us on Twitter so we can get internet points as we crawl through this offseason from Hell. @fitzymopena, @skg_18, @timdurgin9

Episode 13: Thank You Brock Holt (ft. Tom Werner's Singing)

Mookie Betts and David Price have been traded. Why did this happen to us? Why is life so dumb? What now? We sorta mumble through these answers and sulk in our misfortune on this very special episode. Damnit, dude. Follow us on Twitter and make us feel better about trading our franchise player; @timdurgin9, @skg_18, and @FitzyMoPena. Like the last episode, opening songs are "Baseball" by Hippo Campus and "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor. Closing song is "You're Gonna Live Forever in Me" by John Mayer.

Episode 12: Thank You Mookie Betts, Thank You David Price

Fitz and Tim are back after a long winter's slumber to mourn the firing of #OurManager, Alex Cora. We discuss what this means for the club moving forward, who could--and shouldn't--be named as the next manager of the Boston Red Sox, and if the whole fiasco tarnishes any memories of the 2018 World Series. Hint: it doesn't, at least for us. We're sad about our manager being fired, so follow us on Twitter because online satisfaction and confirmation are the only things that can make us happy in this hellish simulation. @timdurgin9, @skg_18, and @FitzyMoPena. Opening songs are "Baseball" by Hippo Campus and "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor. Closing song is "The Scientist" by Coldplay.

Episode 11: Alex Cora, It's Been A Ride

The Red Sox are no longer World Series Champs. That stinks. You know who doesn't? Chaim Bloom. We discussed his recent hiring and what that means for the team in the wake of trade rumors and the recent opt-in from one Julio Daniel (J.D.) Martinez. Then we talked about a particular top 10 Disney songs list released by a certain company. We were big mad. Also, imagine not liking "A Goofy Movie?" Sarah had the sniffles the entire episode. My laptop poo'd the bed halfway through. But, we're warriors, and we were able to rise above the challenges. Intro song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, outro song is "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" from Lion King. Fair use, baby.

Episode 10: Big Ellsbury is Watching You (feat. The Sniffles)

The 2019 Boston Red Sox are dead. We said our final goodbyes. Featuring some of our Twitter pals: @dizzgambles, @aquinn95, @JJfromMA, @survivinggrady, @KQizzle, @JohnWEEI, and @DunkinIced. Follow us on Twitter to hear about how excited we are for 2020: @FitzyMoPena, @timdurgin9, and @skg_18.

Episode 9: The Funeral (feat. A Bunch of People)

The quote from "Goodfellas" says it all: it's not looking great for us. Dave Dombrowski is no longer with the Red Sox. Was that the right call? How does that impact the team moving forward? Is Mookie staying for the long haul? Fitz and Sarah were gonna primarily discuss all that until the biggest news in baseball heading down the final stretch broke. Then we mainly spoke about that. Was it related to the Red Sox? No, not really. Was it related to another team a certain individual follows? You bet. In between our sorrows, we also had the debut of the Timinute. Tim broke down his thoughts on the Stockings in a minute. Tim in a minute. Timinute. Geddit? We also talked about Weezer, Green Day, and Fall Out Boy's concert for a hot second. Had some Vampire Weekend talk, too. Mainly injury talk, though. Intro song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, outro song is "Fix You" by Coldplay, live from São Paulo off the "Live 2016" album. I picked a live version because it's better and I wanted to trick you into listening to some live Coldplay. Thank me later. Subscribe, rate 5 stars, tell your friends, follow us on Twitter (@FitzyMoPena, @skg_18, @timdurgin9), and hope for a quick recovery for Christian Yelich. Legitimately sucks to see a superstar go down in a pennant race.

Episode 8: This Is The Bad Time

Fitz and Tim are wondering how Sarah's doing in Club Penguin. I think she should name one of her puffles Wily Mo. Just a thought. The Sox are heading to Colorado after taking two of three in San Diego, but man, we really wish it was three of three. Mission Improbable is officially on: we desperately bargain what it will take for Boston to secure a Wild Card spot. ALSO: -Since we missed some time between episodes, we talked about the resumed game against Kansas City, and pitch an idea to make that scenario more of a common occurrence, while also paying homage to Ten Cent Beer Night. -The Players Weekend jerseys stunk, but the cleats were awesome across the board. If you disagree with that second point, we had something to say about a tweet on the matter. -This edition of "Hey, Remember Him?" lead to a conversation about dinosaurs and the Bible. -We talked about fantasy sprotz, including one of the most ridiculous baseball trades we've ever heard. Seriously, it's either blasphemy or collusion. Maybe both. Who's to say? Intro song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus and the outro song is "Fail Recorder: Mission Impossible Themesong" from the channel Rec0rder Mast3r on YouTube. An unconventional pick, yes, but a worthy one as well. Link to that video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6QZCU9rTiw Follow us on Twitter! Tim's @timdurgin9, Sarah's @skg_18, and I'm @FitzyMoPena. My mic kept popping this episode, also, so apologies in advance. Or apologies now as you're reading this during the episode. Or apologies after you already heard the episode. No matter when you're reading this, my bad. Subscribe, rate the podcast five (5) stars, and leave a review, and maybe I'll make sure there's less popping next time (I'll make sure there's less popping regardless, but you should also do all of the above regardless as well. Even Stevens.). I'm rambling now. I should probably just post the episode and go to bed.

Episode 7: Mission Improbable

Like a fart in the wind, the trade deadline has come and gone. The Red Sox didn't get any pitching, but a certain someone's favorite NL team most certainly did. We broke down our thoughts about the current status of Dave Dombrowski in the Boston front office, and went into the recent struggles against those pesky Rays of Tampa Bay. We've also introduced a new segment: "Hey, Remember Him?" Basically, we talk about old Red Sox players and say "Hey, remember him?" It led to some very interesting and unexpected tangents, which are the best kinds, no? Intro song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus and the outro song--which no one guessed--is "Something Happened on the Way to Heaven" by Phil Collins. I (Fitz) am on a massive Phil kick today, I don't know what's gotten into me. Follow all of us on Twitter for Correct and Good Twitter takes: @FitzyMoPena, @skg_18, and @timdurgin9. One of us three will be doing the soon-to-come official Pod On Lansdowne Twitter. We won't tell you who but after a lil' while you should be able to guess.

Episode 5: All-Star Celebrity Softball Game: Fever Dream

The Pod On Lansdowne is back, and so are the Red Sox's struggles with the bullpen! After a tough loss to the (White) Sox, Sarah, Tim, and Fitz discuss what the (Red) Sox can do with their late game pitching options moving forward. Mookie and J.D. are All-Star finalists; that's cool! Xander still isn't, that's not cool! Sarah was in California for a Dodgers game, and the Red Sox are on their way to London to face off against the Yankees, which is proper bonkers bruv innit? We also had a special guest stop by towards the end to flame a very special someone. All that and more on this week's Pod On Lansdowne! Intro song is "Baseball" by Hippo Campus, outro song is "I'll Always Love My Mama" by The Intruders. Follow @FitzyMoPena, @Timdurgin9, and @skg_18 on Twitter! Or don't. I mean, it'd be cool if you did, but we're not gonna force you to as much as we'd like you to. Your call in the end really.
