@Mat_Germain_  shares story of daughter’s friend playing
baseball in the province

Rays scrapping their way through the AL East

Blue Jays came up short when pitching to Yankees Juan Soto

Kansas City Royals are living up to Mat’s expectations –
loving Bobby Witt Jr.

Cleveland Guardians have a path to a great season

Brewers & Cubs fans are having good seasons to watch

House of Cards with the Dodgers – Clayton Kershaw’s impact

Steve Cohen and his Mets, an owner who cares

Mark is less than positive about the Rays & asks Mat
about the pitching rotation options if everyone is healthy, Shane
McClanahan, Shane Baz, Taj Bradley, Drew Rasmussen, Jeffrey
Springs

Mat expects as pitchers become healthy that the bullpen will
be strengthened

Keeping the Rays players hungry up to the postseason

The heart & soul of Jose Caballero. Holding strong to
shortstop position. He was critical to the 13 inning win against
the Angels

Strike Out Mike Trout parties – Future HOF

Jose Siri's  fielding tenacity. & strong on the
bases with 6 SBs compared 12 SBs for entire 2023 season. 

Harold Ramirez – runs hard to first – An example for all to
push it to first, unlike Manny Machado in the past.

What to expect from the TRays bullpen – Phil Maton gave up 5
runs in 1 inning. His high leverage numbers have not been
good. 

Cannot depend solely on Jason Adam & Poche in the bullpen

Chicago White Sox not great. What trades should they make?
Garrett Crochet, Luis Robert Jr.?

Nick Murawski – Good Guys Talk Back - 
anchor.fm/good-guys-talk-back 

Jac Caglianone, UF Baseball player hits 516 ft home run

Hard hitter displays – Mat offers that teams have a masher
come in during 7th inning stretch to display their talents bto
the crowd

Tommy White: Great performer, humble man & player. More
BB than SO', 1000 plus OPS

2-way players - Would Rays consider another 2-way player
after experience with  Brendan McKay & $7 million
signing bonus

Isaac Paredes, amazing at bats. Should be at 3rd spot in the
lineup.

Junior Caminero at 2nd base – poll results

Give players a reason to continue to earn their position in
the lineups including Randy Arozarena

Reid Dietmers, Angels pitcher facing off w/ Zack Littell

Josh Lowe & Taj Bradley rehabbing

 Chandler Simpson & Brayden Taylor, Seymour &
Brandon McKay
