From 'Play Tessie' (subscribe here): Gordo, Sammy, and Pat react to the Red Sox losing two out of three games at Wrigley Field against the Cubs in their first series out of the All Star break. Did salvaging a win in the series finale help keep the vibes somewhat positive with another tough road series in Philadelphia up next? Also, the lineup was very quiet until the seventh inning in Game 3 which makes the need for another bat at the trade deadline more important than before. And, first base is the biggest offensive need and a debate between Ryan O'Hearn and Josh Naylor look like the obvious candidates.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode, Jim Fortin reveals the one thing you must release if you truly want more from life: your emotional baggage. From guilt and fear to shame and self-judgment, Jim breaks down why clinging to these old emotions keeps you stuck at “first base” in life—safe but stagnant. Through powerful metaphors, real coaching stories, and deep subconscious insights, Jim explains how to finally let go so you can receive what your soul is really asking for.  Jim dives into the neuroscience and energetics behind why we resist letting go—even when it costs us everything we want. You'll learn how we become emotionally enslaved by past events, why our brains trick us into choosing safety over growth, and how unresolved fears block the flow of abundance, joy, and personal power. If you've ever felt like you're doing the inner work but still stuck, this episode will help you understand why—and what to do next.  If you're ready to stop circling the same fears and finally step into more, this episode will show you how to drop the weight and open the door to transformation.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Why You Can't Keep One Foot on First Base (01:12) Jim introduces a powerful metaphor that illustrates why holding on to the past blocks new opportunities.  Nathan's Story: The Cost of Holding On (05:15) A coaching example that shows how unresolved shame and guilt can sabotage progress—no matter how much we say we want change.  The Furniture Metaphor: No Room for the New (11:40) Jim explains how holding on to emotional baggage leaves no space for new experiences or abundance.  How Your Fears Keep Circling Like Coyotes (24:45) A vivid story to help you see how fear continues to show up until you confront and conquer it.  Are You a Slave to Emotion? (22:30) Jim challenges listeners to consider whether their lives are being run by fear, shame, or the need for external validation.  Your Soul Is Waiting—Let It Out (20:30) A reminder that soulful living requires courage, not comfort—and that everything you want lies beyond fear.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You can't have more in life until you let go of what's weighing you down. Transformation isn't about gaining—it's about releasing. Fear, shame, guilt, and self-judgment don't define you—they delay you. Let go to let in. You were never meant to carry the past forever. The life you want is already waiting… if you have the courage to put down what's holding you back and reach for it.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

Brock and Salk ask a few Mariners questions to begin the hour, including how extra innings was managed in the Mariners loss, along with the slow start to the year for Bryce Miller. The two also ponder what the Mariners long term answer at first base could be and if they'll go out and make a trade for a first baseman at some point during the year. In Blue 88, Brock takes a look at two Seahawks day 3 picks who could be starters, another football mind that loves the Elijah Arroyo draft pick and who Jalen Milroe's delivery most reminds him of in the NFL.
