Welcome to Rates and Barrels episode number 118.

It is Thursday, July 30th.

Derek Van Riper, here with Enos Seris.

On this episode, we have lots of new pitchers on the scene, plus a debate that we had back in the winter that has become a lot more interesting in the last couple of days involving two pitchers in Cleveland.

We have some young pitchers getting the call this weekend that we're going to talk about, some role changes, and a follow-up on something that really stood out to us over the weekend.

We saw the San Diego Padres running wild against the Diamondbacks.

We kind of wondered, would more teams follow suit?

So we'll check in and see how the second series of the season has gone.

Eno, how's it going for you on this Thursday?

What?
