t.fitzgerald has joined the chat. Our mods discuss the offensive outburst of Tyler Fitzgerald as they break down the first 3 games of the Phillies series. Then it's a lightning round! Is the starting rotation OK? Is Randy Rodriguez's arm going to fall off? Is Ben getting a new tattoo? Has anyone seen Luis Matos, Christian Koss or Sam Huff? All that and of course a Wilmer Flores fact. See you inside.

Our new cocktail podcast, The Perfect Sip, is on hiatus but new episodes are in production. (Yeah, it's taking a long time ... life, you know?) If you haven't listened yet, you can catch up here: https://the-perfect-sip.captivate.fm/listen

Speaking of cocktails, today Matthew is drinking a Bailey Sour while Ben is drinking a Rusty Banana. Recipes below.

Bailey Sour

• 1 1/2 oz Fireball Whiskey
• 1/2 oz Bourbon
• 3/4 oz Lemon Juice
• 1/2 oz Cinnamon Simple Syrup
• 1 Dash Orange Bitters
• Optional: Egg White
• Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker. If using the egg white, shake all of the ingredients without ice for 10 seconds. Add ice and then shake for another 10 seconds. Double strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.

Rusty Banana

• 1 oz Stiggin’s Fancy Pineapple
• 1 oz Rye Whiskey
• 1 oz Banana Liqueur
• Combine all three ingredients in a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well chilled. Strain into a rocks glass with fresh ice. Garnish it with a banana peel or something more appropriate. Pineapple probably.
• Oh, it's called a Rusty Banana because it's a riff on the Rusty Nail. Ben forgot to say that in the show.
