Raul Ibanez joins Jayson Werth for a reunion that Phillies fans have been waiting for. Two locker mates, two brothers, and two guys who grinded together through one of the greatest eras in Philadelphia baseball history. They dig into Raul's wild road to the big leagues, what it was like walking into a World Series winning clubhouse in 2009, replacing Pat Burrell, and the untold stories from that 09 Phillies team that nobody has heard until now.

The stories start with Charlie Manuel losing it after a double header loss to the Mets, Jayson slamming his bat in the World Series, the infamous Cody Ross argument with pitching coach Rich Dubee, the speed reading experiment that had them both raking, and a foggy night home run that Chase Utley is still talking about. Then Raul walks through his time with the Yankees, pinch hitting for A-Rod, and what he learned in New York that he wished he knew in Philly.

Before the interview, Jayson breaks down the Phillies magic number heading into the final week, Kyle Schwarber's MVP case, PCA chasing 40-40, Ichiro throwing 127 pitches at 50-something, Alex Bregman taking a foul ball to the face like a hero, and the Yankees doing something with their hands that nobody understands. He closes things out with Werth the Ask and Win, Place or Show including a full breakdown of what Icon Racing picked up at the Keeneland Yearling Sales.
