Welcome to Rates and barrels, playoff episode number 19.

Yes, 19.

We're closing in on number 20. Derek Van Riper,

Eno Seris, Bridgeroli here with you talking about game two of this world series. It was the dreaded bullpen game for the Dodgers and it didn't go all that well, but it kind of fell apart at a point where I didn't expect it to fall apart, guys.
