Welcome to Rates and barrels presented by Tops Checkout Tops. 70, celebrating 70 years of Topps baseball cards.

Derek Van Riper here with Enosaris. It is Monday, November 1st. Yes, we have November baseball.

And for a brief moment during game five of the World Series, it did not look like we were going to have November baseball. So we're going to recap all three games that took place over the course of the World Series. It did not look like we were going to have November baseball.

I know that's the question. A lot of people on the stream are wondering about what's the status of the keg in Eno's backyard. We did make some progress. We will tell you how much in just a little while. Let's go all the way back. Jip, ship, ship, ship, ship, to game. All right. So let's go back to Friday. It was... It was going to be the rain game.

and it worked. They won that game two nothing. And it's kind of hard to argue against

that, right? I mean, if you see how it plays out like that against an offense as good as the

Astros offense, I guess I don't really see what the calls for what the cause for complaint is here.

you know if you look at pitchers who pitched well and then you try to predict their next inning

and then you look at ones who haven't pitched as well and you try to predict the next inning

you don't you don't do any better either way. So there's

maybe some flaws in that research. I don't know. Some people like to point out that, you know,
