Sigh, alas it must be so. Our resigned hosts react to the series win against the Brewers: a dominant game one, a game two that shall not be mentioned, and a head smacking game three. Then, for the third to last time, they discuss the trade deadline asking: should the Giants scratch Robbie Ray event without a trade? Given the Casey Schmitt injury, should they keep Arraez after all? And who would you be most surprised to see traded?On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Death & Taxes while Matthew is drinking Squonk's Tears. Recipes below. Death & Taxes1 oz Gin1 oz Blended Scotch Whisky3/4 oz Amaro or Vermouth1/4 oz Benedictine2 dashes Orange bittersCombine the ingredients in a mixing glass with ice and stir to your desired dilution.

Garnish with a lime twist.#doitforwilson
They didn't sweep because their offense is mediocre. The blame artists react to the Angels series: Grant McCray's snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, JHL gets caught in the bean ball cross fire, and Carson Wisenhunt pitches well but Luis Arraez cannot save him. Later the boys point fingers at who's really to blame for this dismal season ... is it the offense or the bad roster? (¿Porque no los dos?)On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking while Ben is drinking a Sabot. Recipes below.Army & Navy2 oz Venus Gin3/4 oz Lemon Juice1 oz Orgeat2 dashes Aromatic Bitters (Carribean? Trader Joes? Angostura)Shake all ingredients with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Shake for 10-15 seconds to emulsify. Add ice to the shaker and shake until chilled. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass and top with the sparkling white wine. Add the garnish.#doitforwilson
They should have pinch hit for Gilbert. The brothers react to unsurprisingly bad baseball played in Kansas City. Wily Adames goes from hero to zero in a single brain fart, Tony Vitello makes two elementary mistakes in a single game, and the dumpster fire that is the bullpen rages after a stupid umpire add lighter fluid. Then the boys discuss the unlikely possibility of Tony Vitello being a single year manager. How could that possibly happen? On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Ben is a Bard while Matthew is drinking a Fall Wedding. Recipes below. Ben is a Bard1 oz Gin1 oz D.O.M. Benedictine1 oz Sweet VermouthAdd all three ingredients to a mixing glass with ice, stir to desired dilution and strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Strain into a chilled coupe. Garnish with a lemon twist.#doitforwilson
Well ... that first game was really good! The brothers react to the Mariners series including the excellent first game, the very Logan Webb second game, and the ... very Robbie Ray third game. Then they talk about trades ... because there's nothing else to talk about. What kind of players will the Giants pursue and what kind of players SHOULD they pursue?On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking a Mexican Pirate while Ben is drinking a Moscow Mule. Recipes below.Mexican Pirate2 oz Jamaican Rum (I’m using Flor de Caña 12 year)1/4 oz Rich Demerara Syrup2 Full Dashes of Mole BittersStir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice.

Moscow Mule2 oz vodka1/2 oz Lime juice2-4 oz Ginger beerFill a chilled copper mug or highball glass with ice, add the vodka, lime juice and finally top with the ginger beer.#doitforwilson
We could all use a break at this point. Our haggard hosts react to the Rockies series, Logan Webb's social media meltdown, and, in solidarity with Logan, Ben has a mental break down because of the the All-Star break. They also break down the draft: find out who has a fried chicken sandwich spreadsheet, who's 19 but that's not a concern, and who's uncle couldn't teach him how to hit a fly ball.Note: we will not be publishing a midweek episode, we'll be back after the Mariner's series in one week.On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking an Amen Corner while Ben is drinking a Sh*t From My Bar Sour. Recipes below. Amen Corner5 Mint Leaves2 oz Bourbon1 oz Aperol3/4 oz Amaro NoninoShake all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with as many brandied cherries as you can fit on a pick.

Blue Jays and crows are both members of the Corvidae family. Our ornithologists marvel at the stark contrast between Monday's game and Tuesday & Thursday's games as they break down the Toronto series. Then they discuss the Giants playoff chances and what they need to do to fill their holes for the second half push. (No, really. It was Ben's idea!) They also discuss retiring umpires, the impending draft, and changing the name of the podcast to Giant Fireballs. (... because of the Firebells ... details inside.)On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Country Roads while Matthew is drinking a Toronto. Recipes below.Country Roads2 oz Canadian Whiskey (okay to sub bourbon or rye)1/4 oz Fernet Branca1/4 oz Brown Sugar syrup (simple syrup fine too)2 Dashes Angostura BittersCombine all ingredients in a shaker with ice, shake until chilled and strain into a chilled coupe glass.Toronto2 oz Canadian Whiskey (okay to sub bourbon or rye)1/4 oz Fernet Branca1/4 oz Brown Sugar syrup (simple syrup fine too)2 Dashes Angostura BittersMix all ingredients in a rocks glass and add ice.

Epic pun incoming! The brothers Henry analyze the second series defeat in a row to the Rockies, discuss the Giants All-Star selections, and conclude the Jung Hoo Lee Watch (did JHL win Ben's respect? Press play to find out.) Then they ask the impossible question: are the Rockies more entertaining than the Giants?On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking a 5th of July while Ben is getting Mountain High. Recipes below.5th of July2 oz Gin3/4 oz Lemon Juice1/2 oz Demerara Syrup3 strawberries5 blueberries1 dash orange bittersTiny pinch of sea saltMuddle berries and syrup in a cocktail shaker.

One game anyway. In the abbreviated episode, our herpetologists react to the DBag series which included the Giants first win against them this season, after going 0-8. The boys discuss the team losing 11 straight Landen Roupp starts, Trevor McDonald's great outing and the trade value of Heliot Ramos.On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Sweet Misery while Matthew is drinking a How to Kill a Friend.
