| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and barrels. It's Wednesday, August 2nd. Derek Van Riper here with Enoceris. |
| 0:19.1 | Welcome to those of you watching us on YouTube. |
| 0:21.2 | As you probably have noticed, immediately we're wearing the same shirt for some reason. |
| 0:25.8 | Just a plain gray shirt. |
| 0:27.3 | What's up with that? |
| 0:28.3 | We called each other and made sure we were wearing the same thing. |
| 0:31.2 | Apparently, that's part of the new order around here, I guess. |
| 0:36.0 | But on this episode, we recap some of the fallout from the trade deadline that, of course, passed on Tuesday. |

| 1:15.6 | So, yeah, it was a Maddox. |
| 1:16.8 | It was the third fewest pitches thrown at a no-hitter since pitch counts have been tracked. |
| 1:21.4 | I think that's since like 1988. |
| 1:23.0 | So an extremely efficient no-no for Valdez. |
| 1:29.8 | Everything was working, especially the curveball. |
| 1:32.1 | And every time we talk about Framber Valdez, |
| 1:36.2 | I look at the rest-of-season projection versus the results. And usually the rest-of-season projection is considerably worse than what he's done so far. |
