Mat Germain & Mark Corbett – Somethings cooking in the Rays kitchen"Winningly Good”Marlins rough roadColorado Rockies – Pete Fairbanks. The balls are horrible. “That’s what happens when you don’t throw strikes”Velo down 2 MPH - Pete doesn’t do well in the coldRays pen was out of sorts in first Rockies gameRyan Pepiot – 11K in 6 innings, was the trade worth it. Glasnow threw 14K in 7 inningsAngels series  - Is that Chris Farley shouting from the standsRon Washington is working to invigorate the Angels teamAngels will visit the Rays at the Trop – definitely worth getting a ticket to see future HOF’er Mike TroutRon Washington coaching brought strength to Dansby Swanson & others when he was with the Atlanta BravesWill Blake Snell take the mound against Rays next week at the TropWill they pull Blake in the 5th inningAustin Shenton – DH of the day Rays strategy had 2 righties and then a lefty lineup to shake up Angels pitchingOff-balanced Rays batting lineup missing key left-handed batters, Jonathan Aranda, Brandon Lowe, Josh Lowe & DeLuca. Opportunity for Shenton to get his repsJose Caballero- he is “Electric” – steal of a trade Working hard & looks like a Gold Glover. Spinning & Throwing. More speed than Franco. He is a 5 WAR Shortstop. Golden Glove performances with Caballero & Yandy DiazSiri is getting on base more effectivelyStrong arm of RortvedtZack Littell- came through with a tough first inning with the AngelsCleavinger & Poche a bit erratic in the bullpenRays now above .500Marlins are not competitive eX-Rays Front Office  move - Pete Bendix now with the MarlinsMarlins Scouting dept found lacking, Need a Alex Anthopoulos approach to rebuild a productive teamTommy Pham & Brandon Belt, 2 Free Agents that could help the Miami Marlins be a stronger team. "tanking” strategy for 2024 Marlins?.There is a reason that Kim Ng left MiamiColorado Rockies weather Cold & Windy.  How does it impact pitching speeds & finding ball trajectoryBrandon Lowe injury - right oblique.  Will the Rays keep Brandon? Judge was able to negotiate a contract with Yankess amidst injury history.Upcoming games at the Trop with SF Giants & Angels. Angels may see Littell and Civale again when they come to St. Pete.Will Rays see Blake take the mound. Rays rotation should fare well with Eflin, Civale & Littell against the YankeesShould Rays expect a sweep of the Giants at the Trop. What will it look like against Webb & Snell?Robby Ray, the new cheap team uniforms & pink underwearRays Minor Leagues are looking good – starting pitching has been strong.What will it be like once Taj Bradley returnsMat has a lot of faith in this year’s Tampa Bay RaysThanks to Mat Germain for bringing his knowledge, wit and wisdom to the show.
