I mean, there's no disputing that, right? The brothers return from their hiatus to discuss the rise of Bryce Eldridge, the continuing education of Tony Vitello, and ketchup on other odds and ends: why is the offense so hit or miss (pun intended)? Boy are we lucky to have Logan Webb! And, wait, we have a closer now?On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking a Dana Maria while Ben is drinking a Chocolate Smoke. Recipes below.

We're accentuating the positive! The boys break down the first two games of the Cubs series (before Matthew runs off to Morocco ... or wherever). They ponder the strange offensive outburst in game one followed by the dearth of runs in game two (and game three!). Next Matthew tells Ben all of the reasons he and other Giants fans should still be happy.By the way, we will not be publishing after the Nationals series. We will return in one week.On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking a Watermelon Basil Margarita while Ben is drinking a Carajillo Puesto.

That title is funny, but only if you listen to this episode wherein the brothers discuss the series split against the first place Brewers, the firing of Hector Borg, the dominance of Logan Webb, and the withering bullpen.

It's time to true the books. Our accountants respond to recent listener comments, review the most recent sweep of the Giants by the dbags, and take time to review the team after two full months (i.e. 54 games) of the season.

Maybe they're make you laugh.On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Karl the Fog Negroni while Matthew is drinking a Low Expectations.

Only 7 series away from homeostasis. Our realists react to the series win against the White Sox including presence of Ron Wotus in the coach's box, dugout and clubhouse, the return of Rafael Devers from wherever he's been, and the offense overall.

How steep it is. Our leaders react to the Athletics series and discuss the learning pains of one Tony Vitello. How will the Giants cope with the loss of Heliot Ramos? Is Bader tradable now?!
