Welcome to Rates and Beryl's episode number 110.

Derek Van Riper here with Enosaris.

It is Tuesday, July 7th. On this episode, we are going to talk about Enos updated pitching ranks. We'll have some disagreements, I'm sure, and some friendly agreements along the way. Before we get to those ranks, we're going to talk a little bit about the absolute wild west that news gathering and reporting has become, and we expected it to be this way.

But the start of summer camp at the end of last week and over the weekend for a few teams brought us a few more players who decided to opt out.

We've got players who are away from their respective camps for a variety of different reasons. We have normal baseball type injuries.

We have guys who are actually making progress back from previous injuries. So it's like

the usual spring training wave of news times two or three. And a lot of it is extra complicated, of course, by the pandemics.

We'll do our best to sort all of that out and steer us in the right direction.

Eno, how is your Fourth of July weekend?

It was fantastic.

It was nice and long.

I drank lots of beers and figured out how to get my grill working even though the starter is broken.

Sometimes, like, Twitter is so good for that, like, well, my grill starter is not working.

And then a couple of people tweeted, like like pictures of long lighters at me.

I was like, oh, yeah, duh.

Yeah, I could have gave you that one.

Yeah, you get the gas on, you go to the side, you hit the long lighter button and it starts.

So there was no,

there was a moment where I said, oh my God, I'm not going to be able to grill this weekend.

But then once the long lighter situation was put in place, I, I grilled lots.

Well done.

That was the case.
