One game anyway. In the abbreviated episode, our herpetologists react to the DBag series which included the Giants first win against them this season, after going 0-8. The boys discuss the team losing 11 straight Landen Roupp starts, Trevor McDonald's great outing and the trade value of Heliot Ramos.

Epic pun incoming! The brothers Henry analyze the second series defeat in a row to the Rockies, discuss the Giants All-Star selections, and conclude the Jung Hoo Lee Watch (did JHL win Ben's respect? Press play to find out.) Then they ask the impossible question: are the Rockies more entertaining than the Giants?

Blue Jays and crows are both members of the Corvidae family. Our ornithologists marvel at the stark contrast between Monday's game and Tuesday & Thursday's games as they break down the Toronto series. Then they discuss the Giants playoff chances and what they need to do to fill their holes for the second half push. (No, really. It was Ben's idea!) They also discuss retiring umpires, the impending draft, and changing the name of the podcast to Giant Fireballs. (... because of the Firebells ... details inside.)
