Jayson Werth gets personal this episode, opening up about what it was really like taking a 19-year-old Bryce Harper under his wing in Washington — the pressure, the growing pains, and watching him become the leader he is today in Philadelphia. It's one of the most honest stories Jayson's told on the show.

Also in this one: the Phillies are riding a hot streak out of the Field of Dreams game with their first walk-off home run in three years, Alec Bohm proves the doubters wrong with a huge stretch of big-time baseball, and Jayson breaks down which current Phillie would fit right in with the 2008 World Series team. Plus, a Saratoga update on Flying Mohawk and the rest of the Icon Racing stable, and Jamie Mottram from Breaking T is back with more "Is It Shirt Worthy" pitches — including a t-shirt concept inspired by Pete Alonzo's dugout cigar celebration.

Jayson Werth and Devan Kaney open this episode reflecting on the passing of Tommy John, whose 1974 elbow surgery changed the trajectory of pitching careers forever. Jayson shares his perspective on John's legacy and what it means for the more than 2,600 professional baseball players who’ve had his eponymous procedure.

From there, the Phillies are heating up, and the two get into it: Alex Cora vs. Don Mattingly as a manager, Alec Bohm quieting his doubters with a big stretch of baseball, and Jayson makes his case for the Thoroughbred Championship Series (spoiler alert: that’s about horse racing).

PLUS, Jayson holds the line and refuses — again — to touch the Stassie and Kylie situation, and Devan finally comes clean about her White Sox fandom with a pope hat giveaway photo that needs some clarification. (It's a mitre. She knows now.)

Jamie Mottram from Breaking T also stops by with a new round of t-shirt pitches featuring baseball’s greatest cellys and staches.

Jayson Werth and Devan Kaney open this one by looking back at the Phillies alumni who shaped the franchise, celebrating Chase Utley's induction into the Phillies Wall of Fame and everything that moment means for the organization. From there, they grade the moves made at the trade deadline and preview the upcoming Field of Dreams Game.

Then things get weird, in the best way: Jayson gives his honest, unfiltered opinion on the House of Dragons season finale, and the two wade into the alleged Stassie and Kylie beef because apparently nothing is off limits on this show anymore.

Jamie Mottram from Breaking T also stops by with a new round of t-shirt pitches, including a design featuring a beardless, bespectacled Jayson Werth that has to be seen to be believed.

#Phillies #JaysonWerth #MLB #ChaseUtley #Stassie #KylieJenner

Chase Utley sits down with Jayson Werth and Devan Kaney ahead of his induction into the Phillies Wall of Fame, and the two 2008 World Series champions immediately fall back into old teammate form. They relive winning it all together, get into the mutual respect built over years side by side in that infield, and Jayson finally brings up the time he caught Chase taking batting practice in his cup — and nothing else. Chase's response is exactly what you'd expect.

PLUS, the story of their trip to Scotland to golf at Royal Dornoch — and the wild coincidence Jayson discovered when his horse racing partner named his Belmont Stakes-winning horse Dornoch at the very same time. The two also get into their on-field antics from years of facing off before becoming teammates, and what it actually felt like playing alongside each other during that Phillies run.

Also, Jayson and Devan break down every move the Phillies made at the trade deadline and what it means for the stretch run.

Shoutout to Big League Chew for keeping the clubhouse vibes right where they belong.

Jayson Werth and Devan Kaney are back and the trade deadline is coming. What does it actually feel like in a clubhouse when the front office doesn't make any moves? Jayson breaks it down from the inside.

Also on the table: the new speed-up rules and ABS challenge system are exposing the bad umpires, and Jayson is here for every second of it. Plus, LeBron James chose the Sixers and Jayson (a certified LeBron hater) has thoughts.

Then, Chew on This presented by Big League Chew — a new segment featuring real fan questions captured on the ground in Philadelphia during All-Star Week. Flying Mohawk at the Kentucky Derby, Jayson gives the story behind the men's league moonshot Home Run, and Phillies fans coming to Washington just to boo Jayson.

PLUS: Jayson runs into Pedro Martinez at the airport. Don Julio is alive and well. And the horse names keep getting better… meet Amelia In Air. Say it fast.

Jamie, The CEO and President of Breaking T stops by to debate what's shirt werthy in baseball right now. They also talk The Nats. John Kruk in a clip-on tie, Jacob Misiorowski throwing 105. And Jayson Werth's final game in Washington.

Brandon Marsh joins Jayson Werth and Devan Kaney to catch up after his first All-Star Game at Citizens Bank - his HOMETOWN BALLPARK. And wouldn’t you know it? Jayson has come around on the Midsummer Classic in a big way. The two dig into what makes Marsh and Jayson so similar as players and people, why Jayson sees a version of his younger self in Marsh's game, and what actually goes through your head walking onto the field at your first All-Star Game.

PLUS, the mental trick of "faking it till you make it" at the highest level of baseball, why Bryce Harper can show up cold and still play like himself, and how Don Mattingly's arrival gave this Phillies team a real wake-up call. Marsh closes it out talking about what winning a ring in Philadelphia would actually mean to him — and yes, he's already thinking about which old passwords need changing.

Also, Big League Chew comes through with “Chew On This,” a new segment featuring fan questions captured on the ground in Philly during the All-Star festivities.

Plus: a Jamie Moyer story that's still got Jayson shook — turns out Jamie wasn't about to let Jayson anywhere near his daughter.

Presented by Baseball Lifestyle 101 and recorded live from MLBPA’s Players' House at Stateside Live during MLB All-Star Week, Jayson Werth and Devan Kaney sit down with fellow 2008 World Series Champion Jamie Moyer for a conversation ranging from winning the World Series to who saw what in the shower. Jamie was the oldest guy in the clubhouse and threw one of the slowest fastballs in the league — and somehow that combination made him one of the most respected pitchers of his era.

Recorded live in front of a crowd during All-Star Week festivities, Jayson and Jamie dig into what it was like playing together, the mutual respect built over years in that Phillies clubhouse, and a string of stories so good that even Jamie hadn't heard some of them before.

The Phillies have a real All-Star case this year, and Jayson Werth and Devan Kaney break down exactly who deserves it. Brandon Marsh's breakout season, Alec Bohm's up-and-down year, and Bryson Stott's first real shot at a nod — plus why Cristopher Sánchez might be the biggest snub on the pitching side. Jayson also gets into the mechanics of "losing position" and talks about “The Don Mattingly Effect.” We also talk Shane Victorino and Ryan Howard and their questionable connection to a certain brand of “baseball” named for a yellow fruit. ;)

Also in this one: Jayson's honest take on why the All-Star Game itself was never his favorite part of the season, horse racing news (Magic Chuck, named after Charlie Manuel), and a preview of All-Star Week in Philadelphia.
