0:00.0	Welcome to Rates and barrels. It is Monday, March 15th, 2021. This is a mashup with our friends at the pitcher list. Nick Pollock and Alex Fast, joining Eno and I on this episode. We promised this when the baseball pods bracket championship was infiltrated by bots last week. So we decided we would settle our disagreements with arguments about pitching.
