I’ve been doing hits at the end of the week on Rates and Barrels, the Athletic’s baseball podcast hosted by Derek Van Riper and Eno Sarris. I’ll try to share timestamped YouTube links here as they happen
The most recent episode I was on was yesterday, July 3

On June 27 we talked about some Ottoneu players and a very… unique hot dog

There are some older episodes as well, but the Ottoneu information is a llittle less relevant now. I’ll add to this thread as I continue to go on Rates and Barrels.

On this one, DVR and I went through his roster and talked about how to think about being a seller. Ottoneu-heavy and a fun conversation reminiscent of some of our Ottobot podcasts. cc @vibbot @chy924

I come on about 49 minutes in. We talk about some Ottoneu prospect ideas and then talk about one of the lesser dogs I’ve had so far this summer.
