The March Toward Opening Day

Eno and DVR share a few show-related updates -- two live episodes on Mar. 27-28 at Barebottle Brewing Co. in San Francisco! -- and ask for feedback on a format option for the 2025 listener league before digging into a round of spring news and notes. Plus, they look at DVR's builds from last week's Tout Wars ('Solds and IP instead of Wins) and Mixed LABR draft where a conscious decision to lean into IL spots was made. The show wraps with a round of Monday Mailbag questions, including a question about zone contact rates and the belief in a Matt Wallner breakout.Rundown0:24 Eno Brews Beer for Our Live Shows in San Francisco!7:08 Sean Murphy's Injury & Opportunity for Drake Baldwin10:21 Minor Injuries for Corbin Carroll & Gunnar Henderson?15:42 Luis Gil: Awaiting MRI Results (Update: High-Grade Lat Strain)18:27 Parker Meadows: Slowed by Nerve Issue in Right Arm24:10 Jose Altuve's Move to Left Field30:57 DVR's Injury-Risk Heavy Approach in Tout Wars39:34 Another Pitching Risky Build in Mixed LABR51:47 Value of Spring Training MaxEV?54:34 Shohei Ohtani's Dollar Value in Daily Moves League59:44 Matt Wallner's Sleeper Status & Low Z-Contact% ProfilesFollow 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.
