Welcome to Obstructed View Red Sox Podcast, brought to you exclusively by Beyond the Monster. We kick off the episode going over the Major League Baseball postseason. The guys discuss the excitement of the Wild Card Series and the beginning of the Divisional Round.

After seeing the pitching performances for the Phillies, Guardians and more, the pod talks on how the Red Sox don’t match up, right now from a pitching perspective.
