Over The Monster: For Boston Red Sox Fans

Hello! It's the last Over the Monster podcast of the year and Bryan and Dan are airing grievances. What else is new? Additionally, we talk Steve Cohen, spending money to win baseball games, and deer. Way more deer talk than you'd ever expect on a Red Sox podcast these days. And what are the boys upset about? There's some real good stuff in there, so listen up, because it's the last episode until January and besides, it's going to be cold af today, what else are you gonna do?!?!

In a stunning turn of events, the Pod On Lansdowne boys decided to talk almost exclusively about baseball this episode! We didn't know that a certain shortstop would be signing in Queens when we recorded this, but hey--what can ya do? The OTM show from out of left field had to get real for an episode. Prior to the holiday celebrations this weekend, decided to have ourselves a little vent session. Why are the Red Sox "galaxies apart" on a Rafael Devers contract extension? What is the culture of this club, shoutout to Boy George? What is the, I dunno, GENERAL PLAN going forward for Boston?! Your guess is as good as ours, buckaroo. We also aim to answer the age old question: why wasn't Liam at elf practice? Follow us on Twitter baby: @PodOnLansdowne. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Bryan and Dan are back and in a more festive mood than they were for last week's Xander Bogaerts sadness-fest. They cover: • The Jacoby Ellsbury deer story (obviously a top priority) • Should John Henry sell the team? • Christmas gifts for Red Sox employees and players. • Bryan's mortal enemy of the week! • Recommendations, during which Dan expresses some disgusting anti-seltzer views. And so, so much more. It's a long one, folks! Dig in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Xander Bogaerts--and stop me if you've heard this before--is no longer a Boston Red Sock. As a matter of fact, he's a San Diego Padre (that's Spanish for Daddy). Let's let it all out. Let's vent, let's curse the name of the front office, let's see where the Red Sox go from here, let's sob, let's do all of that. Interspersed (I didn't spell that word correctly on my first try), we talk Christmas with the Kranks, mascots, Roger Ebert, Christmas with the Kranks again, roger Ebert's thoughts on Christmas with the Kranks, and more.

In the wee hours of Tuesday morning Xander Bogaerts signed an 11-year, $280 million deal with the San Diego Padres, ending a tenure with the Red Sox organization that has lasted basically half of his life. Are you shocked? If anything, the sheer size of the deal means the Sox were non-factors from the get-to, yesterday’s reports about “heavy” discussions between the Bloom and Bogey camps almost certainly a negotiating ploy by Scott Boras, the best to ever do it. Pete Abraham reported the Sox were no higher than fifth in their bids to Bogaerts, leading Bryan and Dan to review the lip-service the organization paid towards X while never making a competitive offer (if you believe this version of events, which we more or less do). We obviously talk about how this would affect a Rafael Devers extension/predict the lack of one, how Bogaerts will fit into the Padres and what the Sox — who make some suddenly overshadowed big moves — are likely to do next this offseason. Anyhow, it stinks even if it’s not entirely surp

Folks....welcome to a new era of Pod On Lansdowne.

Dan and Bryan get down to the hard business of coming up with new segments for the show, but only after they talk about the World Series, Xander Bogaerts and Dan gets really annoyed about fans-as-GMs. Actually that's not quite true. Dan is perpetually annoyed about it and just let it out at this particular moment. Then we get into new segment time, with Bryan's Mortal Enemies, F Them Kids and Ask a Youth among them.

Dan and Bryan discuss the playoffs, Rafael Devers's extension cake and tackle more subjects before drafting the things they want to see this October, and November, in the World Series. Dan has a disturbingly large number of nice things to say about the Astros. Bryan, being sane, has far fewer. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Dan and Bryan begin by talking about the playoffs, effectively relitigating the same argument everyone else has had w/r/t the new playoff format. Dan comes up with an insane new idea for the playoffs and almost brings Bryan around on it. Then they play "Bloom or nom de plume," a game where Dan reads players to Bryan, who tries to determine if they are real or fake. It's pretty fun tbh. Learn more about your ad choices.
