Eyebrows, Beanballs, and 2.8 Runs Per Game
About this episode
The episode discusses the Giants' recent series loss, focusing on their bullpen and hitting issues while also featuring cocktail recipes.
The Giants lose another series but somehow prove their bullpen is both broken and the best part of the team—make it make sense. Ben and Matthew break down a Reds series full of weak contact, questionable hitting philosophy, and just enough chaos (and chippiness) to keep things mildly entertaining. Also: Landen Roupp for Cy Young, probably. And maybe it's time to blame Hunter Pence—sorry, Hunter Mense—for everything. On the cocktail side, the boys are drinking… Out of Work Child Actor 1/4 oz raspberry syrup 4–6 oz ginger beer 3–4 dashes Angostura bitters Add all ingredients to a highball glass with ice. Stir gently to combine. Garnish with cherries or a lime wheel depending on your mood (or your career prospects). Fire Trucking Reds 2 oz rye whiskey 1/3 oz homemade grenadine 6 dashes Angostura bitters 1 dash orange bitters Stir all ingredients in a mixing glass with ice until well chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over a large cube. Garnish with three cherries to emotionally recover from Giants baseball. #DoItForWilson
