The season is already a month old, so the brothers are taking the time to reflect and give out the coveted Giant Cocktails Awards: MVPS! Unsung Heroes! Future Most Improved! (They sucked, might be called the Blake Snell award.)

On the cocktail side of things Matthew is drinking a Gin Basil Smash while Ben is drinking a Spring Flowers Spritz. Recipes below.

Combine Gin, Lillet Rose, Elderflower liqueur in a highball glass and stir to combine. Add ice and top with club soda or lemon lime soda.

Just when you think you're about to sweep a series, you pull a groin. The boys are talking the Mets series win, what the Blake Snell injury means for the rotation, and ponder if the fixed bullpen is already broken again.

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?
