Welcome to Rates and Barrels episode number 11. Derek Van Riper here with Enos Saris. It is Thursday, July 9th. On this episode, we continue some of the conversation from our Tuesday episode. Pitching rankings were the focus then. We're going to get a little deeper into our list. My rankings went up on the site. Eno's were already up on the site as of Tuesday.

I've got hitter rankings thrown out there as well, so feel free to peruse those.

Leave comments.

Be kind, even if you have critiques.

I'm happy to acknowledge that it's very difficult to rank players this season, in part because of the length of the season, but obviously because

of all the uncertainty we talked about on our episode on Tuesday, which just gets worse by

the day. It's not like we're getting increased amounts of clarity as we move forward, you know.

So let's kick things off and just do a little check-in. How's everything going for you this week?

All right, all right, all right.

I'm going to take some time off next week.

I forgot to talk to you about that, but I'm going to go to Half Moon Bay.

We've got a house.

The fam's here.

The thing that is not restful about the family coming here is that

my wife's sister has two really big dogs and the cats are terrified and the way that that manifests

in a in a problem manner for myself is that they don't want to come to the house during the day to eat like they normally

do and so they come at all hours of the night and so the last last night the last thing i heard

before i went to bed was or before i fell asleep was a cat meowing and the first thing i heard when i

woke up was a cat meowing and the night before I heard when I woke up was a cat meowing and the night

before one of my cats kept me up till midnight and then started meowing again at 4.30.

So I'm a little tired and I would like these dogs out of here but the carrot at the end

of the stick for me is some time at the beach house next week.
