Eno, DVR and Jed discuss Shohei Ohtani's latest absurd feat in a game that his team somehow lost -- five no-hit innings, and his 50th home run of the season -- and injury updates on Yordan Alvarez, Trevor Megill and Willson Contreras. Plus, they take another look at the NL playoff picture, where the D-backs have entered the chat and are causing problems for the Giants, very early takeaways from Bryce Eldridge's debut, and the long-term swing-and-miss expectations for James Wood.Rundown1:15 Shohei Ohtani Tosses Five No-Hit Innings, Swats 50th Homer; Dodgers Lose4:59 A Yordan Alvarez Update12:58 Trevor Megill Slowed by Soreness16:17 Willson Contreras: Season Over w/Biceps Strain18:38 Checking In on the NL Playoff Races30:50 The First MLB Look: Bryce Eldridge44:03 Reverse Mailbag: Will James Wood Always Have an Elevated K%?58:20 The Downside of Specialization1:08:00 Coach Eno's Corner: Establishing CredibilityFollow 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: Eno Sarris & Derek VanRiperWith: Jed LowrieProducer: Brian SmithExecutive Producer: Derek VanRiper Hosted on Acast.
