- Yankees, Astros, Padres & Phillies - ALDS & NLDS begins
- Mat Germain shares his PostSeason vision with a #RaysUp attitude
- ALDS is finally over - After Guardians fell to the NY Yankees
- ALCS - New York Yankees & Houston Astros
- 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
- Dangerous pitching from Nolan Ryan to Aroldis Chapman
- Phillies & Padres – How much weight has Juan Soto taken off of the Padres front office
- 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
