This is going to become a mini series within it self, Brotherly Love.  I'm the youngest of four brothers and on this weeks episode I sat down with my oldest brother Ryan Giffin.  It was cool getting to learn about his time playing baseball before I was born and a young not so sentient child.  His story is one full of hard work determination, and family values.  Thanks for coming on big bro!

Jake and Jordan continue to be surprised by the Tampa Bay Rays' red-hot start and look ahead to their series against the Blue Jays. Then, they break down which teams may be hitting the early-season panic button (Red Sox fans are not going to like this). Finally, the boys bring you another edition of “The Good, The Bad, and the Uggla” before picking out some under-performing players and asking them “why haven’t you homered yet?”

• NLCS  - San Diego Padres & Philadelphia Phillies
• Will not be watching ALCS – not interested in Astros or Yankees franchise
• Nestor Cortes is the most likeable Yankee
• Aaron Hicks, Josh Donaldson & Oswaldo Cabrera  - need to use peripheral vision to avoid collision
• Collisions and concussions can be Career-Enders – Justin Morneau

• Phillies Bryce Harper is ready – “Put a Ring On It”
• PostSeason with a Tampa Bay Rays perspective
• Former Rays on Phillies with José Alvarado & Andrew Bellatti 
• Padres with former Rays: Blake Snell, Jake Cronenworth  & Wil Myers
• Rays “had a serious lack of grit” this postseason
• We need that high intensity, commitment & grit that we had in the past with Kiermaier, Zunino, Brosseau, 
• Randy Arozarena & Yandy Diaz dilemma siphoned off energy  from the team
• Kevin Cash - we have to stop playing like sh*t
• Harold Ramirez & David Peralta carried a heavy load. Would Josh Lowe have made a difference
• Rays what’s next – Loaded with prospects, who will come up and who will go
• Mat’s considerations for future Rays players include: Josh Bell, Jose Abreu, Trey Mancini, Josh Lowe, Daulton Varaho, Austin Slater, Adam Duvall, José Azocar
• Shohei Ohtani would be a dream piece for the team, but highly unlikely
• Eury Perez or Max Meyer could be a good deal for the Rays in a trade with the Marlins if the Rays traded Randy Arozarena
• Taj Bradley & Eury Perez a future pitching combination for the Rays
• Hunter Harvey could be a strong relief pitcher much like Nick Anderson 
• Rays need someone to bring the team together like an Adames. Mat suggests Jose Abreu as a bridge to build love between Yandy & Randy
• Will Rays shop Randy away
• Preparing for 2023 keep an eye on Rule 5 Draft decisions, Winter Leagues, Mason Auer in the AFL (Arizona Fall League),
• Mat list of top Rays Prospects – keep an eye on Ronnie Simon – over 20 Home Runs & over 30 stolen bases

Tommy & Jimmy are suffering Red Sox fans
Big Picture who is leading the American League with 7 Wins for the last 10 games?

Who will be the division winners?

National League

• Steve Cohen’s Amazing Mets pitching is amazing

• After 13 months deGrom delivers 12 SO’s in 5.2 innings against
• Max Scherzer delivers 11 SOs
• Mets took 4 of 5 against the Atlanta Braves
• Braves & NY Mets Fights in the stands are not acceptable –

• Tight NL Central Cardinals leading the division by 1 game over the Milwaukee Brewers
• Reds, Cubs & Pirates unlikely Wild Card candidates
• NL West
• Dave Roberts LA Dodgers leading the pack
• Padres made major moves bringing on Juan Soto & Josh Bell from the Nationals

American League 

• Astros are now co-leaders with the Yankees with a .640 winning average
• Yankees & Mariners 13 inning game began with Gerrit Cole facing off with Luis Castillo 
• Mariners used 5 pitchers & Yankees used 7 pitchers in that game
• Yankees slow slide down from a .724 winning percentage to .640 today
• Reflecting on Mark & Brandon’s predictions 
• AL Central – Expected the White Sox to have a strong.
• AL West – Dusty Baker’s boys are leading strong 
• Mariners are coming on strong
• Expectations of the Angels have been dashed 
• Sadness for the Red Sox – as Chris Sale was in a bike accident and has a wrist injury that will take him out for the remainder of 2022
• AL Wild Card likely candidates  – Toronto, Seattle, Tampa Bay Rays or Baltimore Oriole
