| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Monday, August 7th, Derek Van Riper, here with |
| 0:18.2 | Enosaris. On this episode, we have a lot of news and notes to get to. |
| 0:23.5 | Tons of injury news. |
| 0:24.8 | It's like the last wave of pitching injuries, hopefully, for the season. |
| 0:28.8 | We've got a bunch of guys that came back. |
| 0:30.5 | But a bunch of guys that went on the shelf. |

| 1:15.4 | Jose Ramirez would train a little bit or do some boxing training |
| 1:18.8 | years ago, like a decade ago, and the punch he threw on Tim Anderson was a right. |

| 1:28.7 | able to do even more damage. |
| 1:31.1 | That's, uh, yeah, it was, uh, it was a crazy moment. |
| 1:33.6 | I mean, the, the, uh, I mean, shades of Riffinette Adore, right? |
