Welcome to Rates and Beryls, episode number 126. It is Tuesday, August 18th, Derek

Fannreiber, here with Enosaris on this episode.

We talk about the unwritten rules, which were broken somehow by Fernando Titus Jr. on Monday night.

We're going to talk about cheap speed in the wake of a lot of injuries league-wide.

It's not just pitchers. We're losing a lot of really good position players

recently, too. So trying to find stolen bases is even more difficult than usual because a lot of

those primary sources are the guys going down with injuries. We're going to talk about the

Tigers' decision to push up a few of their prospects, which obviously we've been hoping for on

this podcast for a while, and we'll talk about

when to move on from very good and previously elite players in long-term leagues. It's a really

tough decision to make. So if you're playing in a Keeperer Dynasty League and you're getting

some trade offers, this is the sort of time you have to start thinking about how you're going

to handle all those situations. You know, welcome back from your little trip.

And, you know, I'm thinking about what's happening in baseball.

And it's kind of like momentarily refreshing in that it's normal stuff that we talk about.

But this isn't the normal thing that I want to talk about.

Like, this is stupid.

Like, Fernando Tettis Jr.

Hit a grand slam in a 3-0 count when the Padres were up seven on the Rangers.

And Chris Woodward didn't like it.

And Fernando Tatees Jr.'s own manager, J.

Stingler, didn't stand up for him.
