The brothers react to the Padres series including the stellar outing of Trevor McDonald (EIEIO), the debut of Home Run Jesus [Rodriguez], and what both of their performances mean for the Giants roster. They then ask the question no one wants to hear: Are the 2026 Giants bad? That answer might all hinge on the performance of just a few players. On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Whisk(e)y Highball while Matthew is drinking an Essex Street. Recipes below. Whisk(e)y Highball 2 oz Whisk(e)y 4 oz Club Soda Pour the whisk(e)y into a highball with ice, ideally a single long spear. Top with the club soda and stir once gently with a bar spoon. Essex Street 2 oz Gin ¾ oz lime juice ½ oz elderflower liqueur (St-Germain) 3–4 cucumber slices (muddled) Small pinch fresh dill (light muddle or shake-in) Tiny pinch sea salt (seriously small—like 1–2 grains worth) Lightly muddle cucumber + dill in shaker with elderflower liqueur in a shaker. Add ice and all other ingredients. Shake until well-chilled. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a fresh dill sprig. #doitforwilson","meta_description":"Matthew wrote that title.
