Is Chasing Perfection a Fool’s Errand?

From a bullpen call that sparked chants of "Shame!" to the never-ending pile of streaming apps and another Tommy John surgery for Cole Ragans, the boys have plenty to get off their chests. This week, Eno and DVR discuss Eury Pérez’s bid for perfection and why Marlins manager Clayton McCullough may have made the right call by pulling the young right-hander. Then, they dig into why it's often tougher than fans realize for pitchers like Ragans to regain their previous form after undergoing UCL reconstruction. Later, they welcome back Hunter Greene and break down where the money went over the weekend.Rundown:0:56 Is Eno Mad About Baseball?4:44 Eury Pérez’s Bid for Perfection9:54 DVR Is Mad About App Mania to Watch Baseball Continues11:54 Junior Caminero’s Streak Ends with 11 HR in 11 Days16:42 Tommy John Recovery24:37 In-Season Usage Also a Challenge Post TJ Surgery29:10 Can Gerrit Cole Recover to 2023 Skills Levels?32:33 Batting Average Blues: When Should You Punt the Category?40:47 Jordan Walker’s June45:51 Looking for Intriguing Players ~1,000 Career PA51:03 Hunter Greene Returns!56:21 Where the Money WentFollow DVR on Bluesky: @DVR.bsky.socialFollow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.sociale-mail: [email protected] our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsHosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisEditor: Jason Potere Hosted on Acast.
