No fictional podcast hosts were DFA'd in this podcast. The brothers react to the early roster cuts following the end of the World Series and then discuss Buster's new approach to building organizational pitching.

On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Oops, It's Already Empty while Matthew is drinking a Fall in the Standings. Recipes below.

• 1 1/2 oz Bourbon
• 1/2 oz Spiced Pear Liqueur
• 3-5 oz Apple Cider
• 2 Lime wedges
• Fill a highball glass with ice, add a portion of the apple cider then add the bourbon and spiced pear liqueur and top with the remaining cider. Squeeze both lime wedges into the highball glass and drop in the spent wedges.

• 2 oz Bourbon
• 3/4 oz Italicus
• 1/2 oz Domaine de Canton Ginger Liqueur
• 2 Dashes Angostura Bitters
• Add all ingredients to a mixing glass with ice. Stir until well-chilled. Strain into a rocks glass with a large chunk of ice.

Yes, there was some good stuff, like the top 5 farm system. The brothers turn their ire towards the President of Baseball Operations himself, Buster Posey. What does 2026 say about his abilities as a HOBO? The bullpen that wasn't, the Vitello hiring, the 97 losses, they discuss it all.

On the cocktail side of things, today Ben is drinking a Gin & Ginger Beer while Matthew is drinking a Monte Carlo. Recipes below.

• 2-3 oz Gin
• 3-4 oz Ginger Beer
• Fill a highball with ice, add the gin and top with the ginger beer.

• 2 oz Rye Whiskey
• 1/2 oz Benedictine
• 2 dashes Angostura Bitters
• Mix all ingredients with ice in a mixing glass until well-chilled. Serve up or on the rocks. Garnish with a cocktail cherry.

So that happened. The brothers react to the season that was before looking back at their pre-season predictions. And get very very drunk. Can you blame them? We certainly don't blame you.

We will be dropping down to one episode a week for the month of October and plan on doing two episodes in November. We will determine the schedule beyond as the off-season picture becomes clearer.

On the cocktail side of things, today Matthew is drinking a Brandy Crusta while Ben is drinking ... a Negroni. Recipes below.

• 2 oz Brandy
• 1/2 oz Triple Sec (Cointreau or Orange Curacao)
• 1/2 oz Maraschino Liqueur
• 1/2 oz Lemon Juice
• 2 Dashes Aromatic Bitters (Pretty much anything goes)
• If desired, rub rim of a cocktail glass with lemon juice and roll in sugar. Set aside. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into prepared glass.

• 1 oz London Dry Gin
• 1 oz Campari
• 1 oz Sweet Vermouth
• Large Orange Twist for garnish
• Combine gin, Campari and sweet vermouth in a mixing glass with ice. Stir until just chilled. Strain into a rocks glass over a large single chunk of ice. Express orange twist over glass and put twist in glass. Good luck.
