Blake Snell's Spring Training Update

Well, Snell had another rough outing. That's ok, it's only his second start of spring. The brothers discuss this fallacy and exactly when fans are "allowed" to be frustrated by his non-competitive outings. They also discuss the up and down nature of the lineup and how no one is coming to save it. They also check in on the front end of the bullpen. How do we feel about Avila, Miller, and Teng?

On the cocktail side of things Matthew is drinking a Giant Hit while Ben is choking down a Nevermind. Recipes below.
