Giant Cocktails: A San Francisco Giants Baseball Podcast

This week Matthew is drinking like a soldier while Ben gets fizzy with elderly flowers. On the baseball side of things the boy discuss magical wins in Oakland, while Matthew is fed up with Dodger panic, and Ben fires Bob because Gabe Kapler runs out of players, again. Calm down, Ben.

Another week, another Giant beatdown. To celebrate, Matthew's drinking Ogre syrup while Ben finally tries to act sophisticated by burning oranges (results may vary). The Giants finally have the band back together but continue to creatively use the IL, Logan Webb has become an elite pitcher, Brandon Crawford is going to be a Giant forever (but not everyone will be), and Ben is the most likely to get in a stadium fight (but we already knew that). And yes, the Giants schedule gets tougher but remember, those teams have to play the Giants.

It's the dog days, friends, and the boys are getting nervous. But before all that, this week Matthew is drinking an herbal infusion while Ben gets all the tea. Then they discuss how a 5-2 week can feel like losing, how much the bullpen has improved, and saving your favorite players by sending them to Sacramento. Oh, and they’re going to be guests on the podcast Genuine Draft, go check it out. Hurry! Now! Go!

The trade deadline has passed, maybe the brothers Henry will talk about something else? Nope. Not yet! Matthew is drinking to honor the newest Giant while Ben is drinking like a boxer from the 70's. On the baseball side it's all about Kris Bryant, Max Scherzer, and putting the 2nd and 3rd best teams in their place. Bonus content : a lightning round. That's right. Lightning round. Kapow!

Shazam? Zzzzzzt? Blammo? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

OK, Ben is being phased back in. The fans have spoken. Matthew is drinking from a college kid's liquor cabinet while Ben has just given up completely. On the baseball side they discuss Dodger desperation, Babe Wade Jr, and the pundits strange obsession with giving the Giants an old injured outfielder.

Ben is being phased out. The Bob era has begun. All hail Bob! This week Matthew is drinking sour almonds and Ben is drinking everything apparently. On the baseball side, Matthew apologizes for all his mistakes (Sorry, Candy Man, we knew it was you who came to Thriller's rescue!). They also discus the power of platoons, fanatic freak outs, and what fans should really be freaking out about: beating the Dodgers! Also, Ben gets drunk in this one. From one cocktail. It's something.

Alcohol free content starts at 13:45, but folks, you're going to want to meet our new team member. (Don't worry, we'll keep Ben. Alas.)

It's the All Star break! But no break for me. I'm still listening to the Henry boys and writing these blurbs. This week they're eating peanut butter right out of the jar. Then they relive the great Will Clark, Jose Oquendo and Ozzie Smith brawl of '88 because they're old. After that they declare they'd rather not have Aaron Judge, put great expectations on a 21 year old, and get honest about creamsicles.

Alcohol free content starts at 11:03 but really there's some good baseball content before that.

Happy yesterday, listeners! Today is not the 4th of July, but it was when Matthew was drinking fireworks and Ben was drinking Freedom Fries or whatever. They lament going 0-for-LA with RISP before admitting that beating the Dodgers is a want, making the playoffs is a need. Later they discuss the improving bullpen and whether they were wrong to demand trades to improve. Spoiler alert: yes, but they won't admit it.

Howdy, listeners! This week Ben is drinking a Cherry Margarita because there's no good thing he can't ruin while Matthew chews another mouth feel surprise. They breakdown the breakdown of Shohei Ohtani by the Giants starters after Matthew briefly defends the Oakland As. Later, Matthew insults the Oakland A's, Ben argues on behalf of the Dodgers, and they discuss potential All Stars.

This week Matthew drinks a cocktail that represents his true self while Ben moans and groans like an insufferable baby. Then the boys stare in horror at the train wreck that is the Arizona Diamondbacks before shrugging it off as not their problem. They also discuss Kapler shooting his best shot, trading away your favorite players, and whether the Giants have sticky balls.

Wait, sticky what?
