And anywhere you get your podcasts
they’re not supposed to like you they’re not even supposed to really respect you they’re supposed to understand the need to tread lightly around you because you don’t fuck around — that’s beat writing
someone should go to Washington some time and teach it maybe
I‘m excited to have @dougglanville.bsky.social & @jaysonst.bsky.social joining Rates & Barrels — and back on YouTube, starting tomorrow!

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾
@enosarris.bsky.social, @iamtrevormay.bsky.social, and I discussed a few rookie pitchers including Parker Messick (good timing!), and wondered what's next for Noelvi Marte after a swift demotion to Triple-A earlier this week.

Assholes.
*New* (Probably) Nerds Clusters w/Protein!!!!
The trend of jamming protein into everything has gone too far. I eat Pop Tarts because they are terrible for me, not because they're going to help me look better at the pool.
It’s full on pouring in here. Never seen anything like this in 21 years in these seats.
It's been raining a ton here the past few days...wish I knew more about the drainage system of the roof because that's the dad hat stuff I'm into these days, but it would not surprise me if there was excess water up there.
And as we know, that's exactly why we're hearing about it constantly.
If you're looking for deep league prospect sleepers, @downonthefarm.bsky.social joined @enosarris.bsky.social & I on our Monday episode!
Really good stuff if you're in a dynasty league with sickos and need to be far ahead of your league mates!

Location heat map for Trevor Megill's four-seamer (2026). It's not great.
Location heat map for Trevor Megill's four-seamer (2025). It's much better than what he's been able to do so far in 2026.
Great place to fry an egg, not a great place to put four-seamers. Trevor Megill's 2026 fastball heat map on the left, 2025 heat map on the right.
Down 1.8 mph compared to season average from 2026, BUT he's only down about 0.5 mph compared to April 2025 velocity.
Even worse than I thought.

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾
@enosarris.bsky.social, @brittghiroli.bsky.social & I discussed surprising early-season stats -- Mason Miller's absurd K%, the Red Sox's lack of homers, and the Nats' improved lineup -- and try to figure out where we're headed.

The flight of that pizza slice is a thing of beauty.
Ohtani back pick trauma, lol.
How concerned should you be about the slow starts from Cal Raleigh, Josh Naylor, Bubba Chandler, and Shane McClanahan?
I was joined by @dvr.bsky.social to discuss 10 struggling players and where they land on the early season panic meter!

That looked like a good mix of risk-reward a few weeks ago when you built it, unreal that it fell this quickly.
