| 0:00.0 | Welcome to rates and barrels. It's Wednesday, October 9th, four playoff games on the slate today, |
| 0:20.0 | including one early matinee between the Tigers and Guardians. |
| 0:24.0 | Derek and Riper, Eno Saris, here with you, breaking it all down. |
| 0:27.4 | Two teams on the brink of elimination. |
| 0:29.3 | We'll get to them in just a few minutes. |
| 0:31.7 | But because time is of the essence, you know, we are going right into game three between the Tigers and the Guardians. |
| 0:39.7 | We talked a little bit about it on our Tuesday episode. |
| 0:43.3 | I did heavy lifting. |
| 0:45.4 | That's not even fair. |
| 0:47.0 | I took a moment to look at the usage of the Tigers pitchers from the first two games. |
| 0:51.8 | And because of the off days, both between games |
| 0:54.5 | one and two and two and three, the conclusion I came to is pretty much everybody's available. |
| 1:00.7 | Terrick Scoobel won't pitch in this game, of course. He started through 92 pitches on Monday. He's |

| 1:10.3 | And maybe you could say that Reese Olson, because he threw 73 pitches as the bulk guy |
| 1:15.2 | in game one on Saturday, is someone they'd use maybe like an extra innings on Wednesday, |
| 1:20.4 | and they'd like to have him as the bulk guy for game four on Thursday. |
| 1:24.1 | So with a wide open card, for the most part, A., AJ Hinch has a few options. I think you suggested |
| 1:29.6 | Bo Briskey as the first pitcher up for the Tigers. He closed out game two, only through 12 pitches, |
| 1:37.8 | had the off day. What other options do they have? I've seen Cater Montero maybe as someone |
| 1:43.0 | they could use a lot. |
| 1:49.1 | He threw 25 pitches back in game one, so he could be used at least one time through the order, |
