Making Sense of April Surprises

Eno, Trevor, and DVR are full of surprises for Thursday's episode as they discuss the comebacker that disappeared in Mariners' starter Logan Gilbert's jersey, the upstart Cincinnati Reds, and Juan Soto's baffling comments on not texting with his Mets teammates during their recent road trip. The guys close out the show by highlighting three players who they didn't expect to have so much success this season: Cardinals outfielder Jordan Walker, Cardinals reliever Riley O'Brien, and Padres starter Randy Vásquez.Rundown::35 Logan Gilbert Makes A Ball Disappear6:30 Counsell on “Ohtani Rule’11:45 More Two-Way Players?16:30 April Standings Surprises: Cincinnati Reds25:21 Who Gets Back on Track: Red Sox, Royals, Astros, Phillies, Mets32:43 Juan Soto’s Lack of ‘Contact’39:55 Jordan Walker’s Fast Start49:03 Riley O’Brien is Rolling54:48 Randy Vásquez is Missing More Bats Than EverFollow DVR on Bluesky: @DVR.bsky.socialFollow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.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 MayEditor: Jason Potere Hosted on Acast.
