Today on Rates and Barrels, I'm thinking about U. Darvish and Microtonal Math Rock.

And while you're thinking about that, there's a player on the field thinking about sequential command modeling.

What are you thinking about, Eno?

I'm thinking it's time. Let's go.

Plugged to Rates and Barrels, it's Thursday, May 14th. Eric Van Riper, Inoceros, Trevor May here with you on this episode.

We got some pitching injuries to talk about.

I'm going to dig into a fascinating topic, or at least one that the three of us think is pretty fascinating.

How many pitches could the best pitcher actually throw? How big could that constellation actually get with manipulation of different shapes and all sorts of different techniques that could be applied?

Got another model that we may talk about later on in the show as well from a somewhat unexpected source but first before

we dive into all that Trevor how are you doing on this Thursday good i'm tired are you pitching

today you in uh no this is uh this is a this is a red day this is a no let's just assume i

pitch three days in a row and i can actually. Because that's how you feel. That's how I feel. Yeah, that's how I feel. I feel like I pitched three days in a row and I'm pulling the shoot on. I look at my teammates right in their eyes, be like, your job tonight. Eno, can you give us two out of the pen?

Yes, I'm ready.

I'm ready to go.

I'm feeling good. I finally got a good night's sleep. The day after my long runs, that night I always sleep well. Yeah, I got to get out there again. All right. I'm good for mop-up duty, but I'm not going to be effective. It's just going to be. I'll wear it for the rest of you if we can't get through it as a group today.

But let's start with some baseball news.

You should know. Bryce, not going to be effective. It's just going to be. I'll just, I'll wear it for the rest of you if we can't get through it as a group today.

But let's start with some baseball news. You should know. Bryce Miller is back and with more velocity. So I think that's pretty exciting. We did get some confirmation. The Mariners for at least a little while are going to turn to a six-man rotation. so Emerson Hancock retains a rotation spot, doesn't lose out.

They don't have to bump Luis Castillo. while, they're going to turn to a six-man rotation. So Emerson Hancock retains a rotation spot,

doesn't lose out. They don't have to bump Luis Castillo. They don't have to aisle anybody right now.

They'll just probably let that play out on its own. But what were your assessments of Miller

in his first start of 2026, you know? I thought it looked great. He sat 976.
