| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Monday, May 22nd, Derek Van Riper here with |
| 0:19.3 | Enosarius on this episode. We'll discuss the highly anticipated |
| 0:23.6 | arrival of Bobby Miller into the Dodgers rotation. We're going to dig into why projections |
| 0:28.8 | don't like Logan Gilbert as much as I think they should. We'll talk about Patrick Bailey, |
| 0:34.5 | quietly sneaking into the catcher pool over the weekend and some second month concerns, things that if they had happened in April, people would be freaking out about them because they've happened in May. Maybe people aren't as in tune with them as they should be. It's just how it works. The stats build on each other. So a bad May doesn't stand out quite the way a bad April can. |
| 0:54.5 | So a lot to get to. |

| 1:19.8 | played them, but the second time proved too difficult. And it was a tough loss. |
| 1:28.2 | 11 to 9, I think, in six innings. |
| 1:30.9 | They were complaining about an inconsistent zone. |
| 1:36.3 | Wait, the kids were complaining about an inconsistent zone? |
| 1:39.6 | Yes, the kids were complaining about an inconsistent zone. |
| 1:42.0 | Where do kids learn how to complain about an inconsistent strike zone? |
| 1:44.8 | Is that something that they talk about on Arthur and kid shows? |
| 1:47.7 | Or do you learn that when you're really young? |
| 1:50.5 | It's actually ubiquitous if you listen to a cast, TV cast. |
