| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Rates and Barrels episode number 82. It's March 31st. Derek Van Riper here with Enoseres. On this episode, we're going to talk about some upcoming adjustments to our rankings as the calendar flips to April. |
| 0:21.4 | We're going to answer a lot of questions. |
| 0:22.8 | We had a question about the baseball. |
| 0:24.5 | We had a question about ranking teams for their ability to develop talent. |
| 0:28.6 | We'll talk about a few March movers as well. |
| 0:32.1 | You know, how's it going for you on this Tuesday? |

| 1:30.2 | have another four weeks. So I'm just hopeful that near the end of April we start getting some |
| 1:36.5 | better news. And this all hinges on a date. We need like something to look forward to. |

| 1:53.7 | Yeah, we're in a holding pattern that feels indefinite right now, even though eventually it will end. |
| 2:00.3 | And I think it's particularly |
