Just a bunch of Vincent Adultman's out there.

Turning everything into a Brewers podcast, one day at a time.

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social, Jed, and I discuss hamates (Corbin Carroll, Francisco Lindor, and Jackson Holliday news), a Schwelly setback, the Brewers-Red Sox deal, and our growing interest in first-base coaches.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/38dedd

We're going to need a coffee sponsor for the show this year, no chance I can keep up with the flow of information in 2026 without it.

Why did all of the hamates break this winter?

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social and I wade through the Relief Pitcher pool, where my Draft-and-Hold patience this winter might prove costly this season.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/38c4d0

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ Finishing the 2026 position preview series this week w/@enosarris.bsky.social. On Friday, @rosenjordanblum.bsky.social & @jeffwzimmerman.bsky.social joined us to discuss OOPSY, pitcher injury grades + more.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/38a133

The way I was scrolling the feed I thought they called this guy "Old Judge Cigarettes".

Just to give an idea how good Banda had been; He had a 2.47 WPA the last two seasons, which would've made him the best reliever on 7 different teams over 2024-2025 and the second best reliever on 15 more teams

It is officially season preview szn in the Hogg household, and here's a little nugget to add to the "can Jacob Misiorowski throw enough strikes?" debate: 19 Brewers pitchers threw at least 20 innings last year. Misiorowski was 4th in zone percentage.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

What the hell even is this?

DVR:

Is there a longer gap between healthy productive seasons in the big leagues than what Andujar has done? (If we're even counting 2025 as healthy.)

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social and I discuss the Starting Pitchers often going between Pick 100-200 overall of early drafts. (Ep. 2 of 3̶, make it 4) YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/388414

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ It's Pitcher Week! @enosarris.bsky.social and I discuss the Starting Pitchers typically going inside the Top 100 overall of early drafts. (Ep. 1 of 3) Fresh rankings ($): www.nytimes.com/athletic/701... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/38758a

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social and I discussed Ohtani and this year's UT-only players, before covering the final segment of late outfielders.... Pitcher Week begins tomorrow! YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/386904

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social and I continued our Position Preview series with part 3 in the outfield.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/384a74

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social, @iamtrevormay.bsky.social & I discussed José Ramírez's extension with the Guardians and the team's seven-year WS outlook, and how low Z-Contact% numbers for hitters can be misleading.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/3839b2

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @keithlaw.bsky.social joined @enosarris.bsky.social and I to discuss several prospects from his recently published Top 100 list, and the possibility of a fast track to Pittsburgh for Konnor Griffin.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/382b95

An excellent resource if you’re looking to support local organizations making a positive impact in Minnesota right now.

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social and I continue our 2026 Position Preview series at first base.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/37e9db

Gordon Bombay's ice cream with the enemy was just a lesson in geography for us.

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social continue our 2026 Position Preview series with catchers. (If you want to get into a lot of YouTube thumbnails, have a trident in your post-HR celebration.) YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/37cee1

Might need an adjustment in the catch section. Fix the fumble out of the end zone is a touchback rule too. That’s some Nate Bargatze’s George Washington stuff.

I don’t know what a catch is. 41 years old, clueless.

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ Super bonus emergency pod! @enosarris.bsky.social and I discussed Kyle Tucker's four-year, $240M deal with the #Dodgers, plus the three-team swap between the #Reds, #Rays & #Angels. Oh yeah, and Willi Castro.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/379e6b

I like to believe that Hal Steinbrenner is sitting in a penthouse somewhere muttering something about life not being fair.

I think they landed on that conclusion with Lux, feel pretty good about the Bleday-Myers platoon as a replacement, and will find a DH somewhere.

I might have to make a little sign that says 'I like this for the Rockies.'

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social and I continue our position preview series at third base where a few aging stars still lead the way.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/378b90

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social and I kicked off our annual position preview series with shortstops! YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/37809a

This is the dude they told me Luke Fickell was going to be.

#Brewers 4th best system overall. 3rd at drafting #1 on the international market #4 "hoards prospects" lol #5 developing pitchers #4 developing hitters #1 at finding and developing sleepers They're basically good at everything.

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social and I discussed the Marlins' side of the Edward Cabrera trade, NL Central staff ranks, fantasy prep we've adopted, and the Tarik Skubal arb filing gap. Plus, Amir Garrett drops by.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/37589e

I don't know much about anything, and I cannot prove this because I don't have the appropriate credentials, but I am damn certain that our brains were not built to consume and process information this way.

First time I've seen or thought about that writer in a few years, to be completely honest.

First off, Good Morning.... youtu.be/vWLJeqLPfSU?...

Some personal news today (I may go a bit long).

🎙️ Rates & Barrels ⚾ @enosarris.bsky.social & I discussed the Imai and Okamoto deals, Tyler Mahle to the Giants, the Angels' ninth-inning options, and a few resolutions for 2026.... YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/372d51

Add me to the list of people wondering why Henry didn’t get a carry before the field goal…it was a 44-yarder. 🤣

AFC North football fun as hell when your team not in the game LMAO

YouTube: www.youtube.com/c/RatesBarrels Audio: pod.fo/e/36f43d

Sending boops and warm holiday wishes from a surprise visit to the vet with what is hopefully just a minor fetch injury that we couldn’t treat at home.

Sounds like a great day!
