Opening Day & 2025 Predictions

It's season 5 of Giants Cocktails. Our veteran podcasters throw a new coat of paint while they breakdown the Opening Day roster and make full season predictions. Will a Giant hit 30 home runs? Will Ramos & Fitzgerald regress to the mean? Will Matthew predict 90 wins again? Can Ben hold his "positivity" for one more episode? (Yes!, No!, 90? Try 100!, Of course not.)Our new cocktail podcast The Perfect Sip is on hiatus. But new episodes are in production.
