Show Notes

17-1? No problem. Really! The brothers break down the Diamondbacks series and discuss why it shows that this team is better than its record. Then they discuss the slowly improving bullpen. Is this the final piece the Giants need to reach the lofty heights of 86 wins?

On the cocktail side of things Matthew is drinking a Kentucky Buck while Ben is drinking a Margarita (returning to the show for this first time since episode 1). Recipes below.

Kentucky Buck

  • 1 hulled strawberry
  • 2 oz Bourbon
  • 3/4 oz Lemon juice
  • 1/2 oz Simple Syrup
  • 2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
  • 2-3 oz Ginger Beer

Muddle strawberry in the base of a cocktail shaker. Add next four ingredients with ice. Shake 10-12 seconds. Double strain into a highball glass with fresh ice. Top with ginger beer. Garnish with a lemon wheel and strawberry slice.

Margarita

  • 2 oz blanco tequila
  • 1 oz Cointreau
  • 1 oz lime juice
  • 1/4 oz Agave Syrup (optional)

Combine all of the ingredients in a shaker with ice. Shake until chilled. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice.
