• An Anthony Volpe Explanation & Weekend Waiver Preview

  Eno and DVR discuss the revealing that Anthony Volpe has been playing through a torn labrum in his shoulder for most of the 2025 season, and multiple allegations of misconduct toward women around the Tigers' organization as reported by Britt Ghiroli and Alex Andrejev of The Athletic. Plus, they address mailbag questions about the Rays' expected return to the Trop and the availability of mental health resources for MLB players, before exploring a few intriguing names on the waiver wire this weekend, and catching up with Senior Hot Dog Correspondent Niv Shah about 'The Miami Dog' and balancing long-term value against aggressive short-term bids in late-season keeper league pickups.Rundown1:10 Anthony Volpe Has Played Through a Torn Labrum in 202510:09 Multiple Allegations of Misconduct Toward Women in DetroitBritt Ghiroli & Alex Andrejev’s story($):https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6610869/Follow Up from Britt, Alex & Cody Stavenhagen ($): https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/661746016:13 Preparing for the Rays' Move Back Into the Trop23:02 Availability of Mental Health Resources in MLB30:05 Weekend Waiver Wire Preview49:55 Senior Hot Dog Corresponding Niv Shah Returns!Balancing Long-Term Value with Immediate Needs in Late Keeper League Pickups1:06:51 Is 'The Miami Dog' Playable?Follow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.socialFollow DVR on Bluesky: @DVR.bsky.sociale-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisWith: Niv ShahProducer: Brian SmithExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.

• Bullpen Boosts, Springer's Resurgence & A New Statcast Leaderboard

  Eno, Trevor, and DVR discuss another injury for the Astros with Luis Garcia's return to the injured list, a bullpen role down the stretch for Chase Burns in Cincinnati and the possibility of a similar approach with Roki Sasaki from the Dodgers. Plus, they consider how they might pitch to George Springer, who continues to have a resurgence in his age-35 campaign, and they look at the Framing Leaderboard against hitters.Rundown3:11 Luis Garcia Returns to the IL with Elbow Injury5:58 Chase Burns Activated; Moves to Reds' Bullpen14:42 Roki Sasaki's Paths Into the Dodgers' Pitching Plans23:52 George Springer's Rebound (How I'd Pitch This Guy)34:51 Framing Runs by Batter: What Does It Tell Us?Follow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.socialFollow DVR on Bluesky: @dvr.bsky.socialFollow Trevor on Bluesky: @iamtrevormay.bsky.sociale-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisWith: Trevor MayProducer: Brian SmithExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.

• Is It a Career Year, or a New Level?

  Eno, DVR and Jed discuss Tyler Glasnow's excellent outing Monday after a recent scratch due to back tightness, and the waning importance of the regular season for a team that is built to win the World Series. Plus, they examine several hitters having career years in hopes of determining which seasons are peaks, and which are the beginning of a new, sustainable level.Rundown1:20 Tyler Glasnow's Back Appears to be Fine5:00 A Nice Outing for Chase Dollander; The Usual 'Coors' Problem12:14 Downside of 'World Series or Bust'?Craig Goldstein of BP 'The Dodgers Are Ruining Baseball' ($):https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/10135229:15 Career Years v.

• Trea Turner's MVP-Caliber Campaign & Tight Playoff Battles Continue

  Eno and DVR discuss a hamstring injury for Trea Turner, who has built a strong case to be considered for NL MVP honors in his age-32 season. Plus, they take a look around the league after another busy weekend and take stock of the still crowded AL Wild Card race, the Dodgers' shrinking lead (one game) in the NL West, and a few waiver wire observations.Rundown5:00 Trea Turner: Slowed by Hamstring Strain (Grade 1, placed on IL after episode was recorded)11:10 Bobby Witt Jr.'s Back Spasms; Cole Ragans' First Rehab Start19:21 The Dodgers' Lead in the NL West Shrinks to One Game27:12 Daniel Palencia's Injury; Checking In on the Cubs' Bullpen33:20 Byron Buxton Swats 30th Homer; Leaves Early After HBP37:03 A Rough Outing for Bubba Chandler42:36 Where the Money Went: Parker Meadows, Daylen Lile & Zack Gelof53:13 Managing Lineups in Crunch Time Scenarios1:01:07 Juan Soto: The NL MVP?Follow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.socialFollow DVR on Bluesky: @DVR.bsky.sociale-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisProducer: Brian SmithExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.

• The Mariners Are OK, Right?

  Eno, DVR, and Britt discuss the Yankees' top-to-bottom power output and Jazz Chisholm's past calendar year (30-30 club!) as he deals with a pair of knee contusions down the stretch. Plus, they dig into the Mariners' hold on the final Wild Card spot in the American League, despite a recent 6-14 stretch in their last 20 games. Do the park factors in at T-Mobile Park lead us to miscalculate the true talent in Seattle? They also discuss the Padres' lack of power in 2025 -- which was at least partially addressed by their additions at the Trade Deadline -- and the Yankees' request for umpires to inspect Taylor Trammell's bat (update: MLB confirmed that the bat was illegal akin to an impermissible glove, without any competitive advantage gained), before discussing a few weekend waiver wire considerations.Rundown1:31 Jazz Chisholm Jr.: Diagnosed with Two Knee Contusions4:00 Power Up & Down the Yankees' Lineup10:13 By the Numbers the Mariners Are Safe, Are the Numbers Lying?16:54 Teams Ranked By Top-Three Starting Pitchers (Includes Non-Playoff Teams)23:59 Who Are You Buying As the Most Credible Threat to Seattle?31:42 Is the Padres' Lack of Power an Overlooked Concern?40:23 The Yankees Request an Examination of Taylor Trammell's Bat48:08 Weekend Waiver PreviewFollow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.socialFollow DVR on Bluesky: @DVR.bsky.socialFollow Britt on Bluesky: @brittghiroli.bsky.sociale-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiper, Eno Sarris & Britt GhiroliProducer: Brian SmithExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.
