| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and barrels. |
| 0:17.0 | It is Thursday, July 7th. |
| 0:19.5 | Derek Van Riper, Ino Seris, here on this episode. We are digging |
| 0:23.4 | into some big movers among pitchers. We're going to take a look at some notable June to July |
| 0:28.9 | stuff plus risers, taking a look at Eno's pitching model, see who's doing things a bit better now than |
