Eyebrows, Beanballs, and 2.8 Runs Per Game

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…
