The MLB Playoff Picture Gets Clearer

What went wrong with the New York Mets in 2026? DVR, Eno and Britt Ghiroli close the tab on a massively disappointing Mets season and examine how a roster built around Juan Soto and Francisco Lindor fell out of contention — and what David Stearns needs to fix this offseason.Injuries certainly played a role, with Lindor and Soto both missing significant time, but the problems went much deeper. The crew examines Stearns’ difficult offseason, the Mets’ next managerial decision and why New York’s biggest question might not be resources — but how those resources are being allocated.Then, what happened to the Baltimore Orioles? A young core that once appeared capable of becoming one of baseball’s most dangerous offenses finished much closer to league average than expected.The numbers reveal a fascinating contradiction: Baltimore ranks first in MLB in bat speed and fourth in barrel rate, but 28th in strikeout rate and only 13th in wRC+. Britt breaks down the Orioles’ player-development philosophy, constant coaching changes and why several talented young hitters have struggled to make the adjustments necessary to consistently succeed in the majors.Plus, Baseball News You Should Know: the Red Sox remove the interim tag from Chad Tracy and give him a three-year contract, while Boston also exercises Craig Breslow’s options through 2030. River Ryan returns for Detroit, Dylan Cease avoids surgery, Trey Yesavage returns for Toronto and Andy Pages, Roki Sasaki and Robert Suarez are all on their way back.Finally, the crew looks at everything still up for grabs during the final week of the MLB regular season, including the AL Central battle between Cleveland and Chicago, the Rangers and Astros fighting for the AL West, Tampa Bay trying to clinch the AL East and the remaining National League playoff positioning.Like, Subscribe and drop us a comment!First Pitch Arizona: https://www.baseballhq.com/pricing/first-pitch-arizona-2026Follow 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/ratesandbarrelsRates & Barrels MERCH: https://rates-and-barrels.printify.me/00:00 Intro00:34 Red Sox Remove Interim Tag From Chad Tracy01:30 How Chad Tracy Turned Boston Around03:17 Red Sox Commit to Craig Breslow05:12 Why Boston Is Betting on Its Leadership08:37 River Ryan Returns for Detroit10:37 Tigers’ Young Rotation Has Huge Upside12:28 Dylan Cease Avoids Surgery15:28 Trey Yesavage Returns for Toronto17:29 Andy Pages, Roki Sasaki & Robert Suarez Return17:48 What’s Still Up for Grabs?21:19 MLB’s Final-Week Playoff Races23:09 Closing the Tab: New York Mets45:10 Closing the Tab: Baltimore Orioles45:56 What Happened to Baltimore’s Young Core?48:46 Britt’s Orioles Rant49:48 Baltimore’s Revolving Door of Hitting Coaches50:12 Are the Orioles Too Young Everywhere?51:13 Baltimore’s Problems Go Beyond the Manager51:50 Did the Orioles Fall in Love With Tools?52:07 Mike Elias Begins Making Changes53:41 The Numbers Behind Baltimore’s Offensive Problems54:07 No. 1 in Bat Speed, No. 28 in Strikeout Rate55:16 Did Baltimore Sacrifice Too Much Contact?58:29 What Does the Orioles’ Offense Need?59:55 How Baltimore Can Fix Its Lineup1:01:33 Is the Orioles’ Development System Too Demanding?1:03:05 Baltimore’s Rotation Still Has Questions1:03:44 Why Has the Orioles’ Defense Regressed?1:04:22 Orioles Add Another New Voice to Baseball Ops1:04:54 Can Baltimore Fix This in 2027?Hosts: Derek VanRiper, Eno Sarris Contributor: Britt GhiroliExecutive Producer: McEnroe FrancisEditor: McEnroe Francis#MLB #Mets #Orioles #NewYorkMets #BaltimoreOrioles #RatesAndBarrels Hosted on Acast.

The Braves have clinched the NL East and the Red Sox secured a Wild Card berth in the American League as the playoff picture continues to come into focus. Eno and DVR discuss the final-week battle for playoff spots and seeds, and what they need in order to come away with fantasy baseball championships in the remaining days of the season.Plus Chris Solomon (Soly) of 'No Laying Up' joins the show to close the tab on the 2026 Reds. Beyond a pair of arm injuries for Hunter Greene, what else has kept the Reds from making another run to October this season? Looking forward, is there enough of a core in place with Elly De La Cruz, Sal Stewart, Chase Burns, and Greene to build for the immediate future during the winter?Like, Subscribe and drop us a comment!Rundown00:41 The Braves Clinch NL East: Seventh Title in Nine Years02:13 Tyler Mahle: An Overlooked Trade Addition?09:22 Jesús Luzardo: Plays Catch, Could Return in Bullpen Role11:47 Alex Bregman: Day-to-Day After Getting Hit by Foul Ball13:04 The Red Sox Clinch Wild Card: Historical Comeback From 32-46 Start16:02  Félix Bautista: Returns After Second Lengthy Absence17:56  Four-Team Battle for Three Remaining Spots?21:22 AD BREAK21:27  Where the Money Went & Final Week Needs32:16 Coming Up: Closing the Tab, 2026 Reds w/Soly32:20 Welcome, Soly!

Tony Gwynn Jr. and Mark Grant, the voices of the San Diego Padres, join Starkville! This week, Jayson and Doug sit down with Tony and Mark to break down how the Padres went from losing a bunch of games to becoming one of the best teams in baseball, whether San Diego fans are getting spoiled by AJ Preller’s annual wheeling and dealing, and the teams that have stood out most to them this season. Plus, the guys discuss the Padres’ massive sale, what the new ownership group has in mind, the atmosphere at Petco Park, and why other small market teams can’t seem to replicate San Diego’s success. Later, the guys head to Strange But True for an unbelievable minor league twist, where Hickory Crawdads teammates Brady Ebel and his brother Trey somehow combine to finish the same at bat.Rundown:0:00 Today’s Lineup00:37 Welcome to Starkville 8:33 UP NEXT: TONY GWYNN JR.

Which players have emerged as unexpected fantasy baseball difference-makers down the stretch? DVR and Eno look back at the biggest surprise producers of the last 30 days before digging into the final Weekend Waiver Preview of the 2026 MLB season.First, Baseball News You Should Know covers the possibility of Garrett Crochet returning as a bullpen weapon for the Red Sox, Willson Contreras dealing with a bruised hand and the Nationals discussing a potential contract extension with Cade Cavalli. DVR and Eno examine Cavalli’s breakout, the impact of adding a cutter and what a long-term deal with Washington could look like.Plus, Walbert Ureña continues his impressive rookie season after seven scoreless innings with nine strikeouts against Minnesota, Jared Young is dealing with concussion symptoms after a scary collision at first base and the latest developments surrounding Mark Walter.The mailbag tackles Dillon Dingler’s second-half decline, how a potential delay to the 2027 MLB season could impact veteran pitchers like Jacob deGrom and Zack Wheeler, and one of fantasy baseball’s most frustrating problems: What do you do with the player you can never seem to start at the right time?Finally, DVR and Eno search the waiver wire for the last players who could help fantasy managers win their leagues. Ryan Johnson, Cristian Javier, Griffin Conine, Adael Amador, Jonah Cox, Henry Bolte and Victor Mesa Jr. are among the late-season options discussed — along with several players who could carry intriguing value into 2027.Like, Subscribe and drop us a comment!First Pitch Arizona: https://www.baseballhq.com/pricing/first-pitch-arizona-2026Follow 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/ratesandbarrelsRates & Barrels MERCH: https://rates-and-barrels.printify.me/Hosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisExecutive Producer: McEnroe FrancisEditor: McEnroe Francis#MLB #FantasyBaseball #WaiverWire #MLBProspects #RatesAndBarrels00:00 Intro00:34 Baseball News You Should Know00:59 Could Garrett Crochet Join Boston’s Bullpen?02:24 Willson Contreras Day-to-Day With Bruised Hand05:33 Nationals in Extension Talks With Cade Cavalli07:14 How Cade Cavalli Changed His Arsenal09:21 MLB’s Biggest Strikeout-Rate Risers11:43 Walbert Ureña’s Breakout Rookie Season14:36 Jared Young Injured in Scary Collision15:55 Latest Developments Surrounding Mark Walter18:10 Mailbag18:24 What Happened to Dillon Dingler?21:24 How Could a Delayed 2027 Season Impact Pitchers?26:53 The Fantasy Player You Can Never Get Right29:38 DVR’s Cam Smith Problem32:07 How to Handle Frustrating Fantasy Players35:17 Sage Performance Review35:39 Surprise Hitters of the Last 30 Days37:40 The Hottest Pitchers of the Last 30 Days41:11 Final Weekend Waiver Preview41:37 Late-Season Starting Pitcher Adds47:43 Final Waiver Wire Hitters48:04 Griffin Conine Is Getting an Extended Look50:01 Middle Infield Waiver Options52:28 Late-Season Outfield Adds53:12 Is Jonah Cox a 2027 Sleeper?54:22 Henry Bolte & Victor Mesa Jr.56:12 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Which MLB contenders have the bullpens built to survive October? DVR, Eno Sarris and Trevor May rank the best relief units in the American and National Leagues and break down which teams they trust most heading into the MLB postseason.The Guardians headline a tightly packed group of American League bullpens, with the Red Sox, Yankees, Astros and Rays all making their cases. The guys examine Cleveland’s high-leverage arms, Houston’s top-end talent, Boston’s impressive results and whether the Yankees have enough depth to shorten games in October. They also explain why Tampa Bay may be missing the overpowering arm that becomes so valuable in the postseason.In the National League, the Padres have built one of baseball’s deepest and most dangerous bullpens around Mason Miller, but the Brewers, Dodgers, Braves and Phillies all enter the conversation. Has Milwaukee quietly assembled an elite October bullpen? Can the Dodgers piece together enough healthy arms? And should Philadelphia’s actual results make us skeptical despite strong underlying projections?Plus, Baseball News You Should Know covers another late-season injury concern for the Dodgers after Blake Snell exits with a groin strain, Aaron Judge leaving early with leg tightness, Jackson Holliday landing on the IL and Kyle Bradish’s season coming to an end.Finally, Closing the Tab turns to the Seattle Mariners. After entering the season as heavy favorites in the AL West, Seattle fell well short of expectations as Cal Raleigh, Julio Rodríguez and several key players took steps backward or battled injuries. But the biggest question may be the pitching staff: Have T-Mobile Park and Seattle’s run-prevention environment caused us to overrate just how good Bryan Woo, George Kirby and the Mariners’ rotation really are?DVR, Eno and Trevor examine Seattle’s surprising home-road pitching splits, what could change in 2027 and why a disappointing season doesn’t necessarily mean the Mariners’ successful pitching-development model is broken.Like, Subscribe and drop us a comment!First Pitch Arizona: https://www.baseballhq.com/pricing/first-pitch-arizona-2026Follow DVR on Bluesky: @DVR.bsky.socialFollow Eno on Bluesky: @enosarris.bsky.sociale-mail: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/FyBa9f3wFeSubscribe to The Athletic: theathletic.com/ratesandbarrelsRates & Barrels MERCH: https://rates-and-barrels.printify.me/Hosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisExecutive Producer: McEnroe FrancisEditor: McEnroe Francis#MLB #MLBPlayoffs #Mariners #FantasyBaseball #RatesAndBarrels Hosted on Acast.

Are Trea Turner, Manny Machado and José Ramírez beginning to show real signs of decline — or are MLB’s aging stars poised to bounce back in 2027?DVR, Eno Sarris and Jed Lowrie dig into three veteran hitters on the wrong side of 30 and examine what the underlying numbers tell us about where their careers are headed. José Ramírez continues to provide plenty of fantasy value despite an injury-altered season, while Manny Machado’s declining hard-contact numbers raise questions about how much elite production remains.Then DVR takes a deep dive into Trea Turner’s surprising 2026 season. Turner’s bat speed still looks healthy, but his production against fastballs has fallen, his swing decisions have changed and his overall offensive production has dropped significantly. A surprising comparison with Xander Bogaerts may also offer a better idea of what Turner could look like over the second half of his long-term contract.First, Baseball News You Should Know covers another huge moment from Junior Caminero, Pete Alonso’s return to Citi Field, the Guardians-White Sox playoff battle and a razor-thin AL West race between the Astros and Rangers.Finally, Closing the Tab heads to Washington. The Nationals have made a massive offensive leap in Year 1 under their new front office, but questions remain about their pitching development. DVR, Eno and Jed look at what changed in Washington, the next wave of pitching prospects and the rapid ascent of 18-year-old Eli Willits.Plus, Jed puts a new spin on Name That Dude with the help of a pack of 2026 Topps Chrome.#MLB #FantasyBaseball #TreaTurner #MannyMachado #JoseRamirez #RatesAndBarrels00:00 Intro02:03 Junior Caminero Is Fearless at the Plate04:42 Pete Alonso Returns to Citi Field08:31 Guardians-White Sox Delivers Again11:29 Astros & Rangers Battle for the AL West15:09 What's Going On With Wyatt Langford?16:49 Decline or a Cliff?17:12 Is José Ramírez Finally Slowing Down?25:32 What’s Happening to Manny Machado?37:39 What Happened to Trea Turner?38:59 Turner’s Fastball & Swing-Decision Problems40:25 Trea Turner vs. Xander Bogaerts45:45 Closing the Tab: Washington Nationals49:50 Can the Nationals Fix Their Pitching?57:14 Eli Willits’ Incredible Rise57:34 Name That Dude: Topps Chrome Edition1:00:40 The Mystery Player RevealedLike, Subscribe and drop us a comment!First Pitch Arizona: https://www.baseballhq.com/pricing/first-pitch-arizona-2026Follow 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/ratesandbarrelsRates & Barrels MERCH https://rates-and-barrels.printify.me/Hosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisExecutive Producer: McEnroe FrancisEditor: McEnroe Francis Hosted on Acast.

Are the New York Yankees getting healthy at exactly the right time? DVR and Eno break down the latest MLB playoff picture before Yankees reporter Brendan Kuty joins the show to discuss Aaron Judge finding his timing, the Yankees’ October rotation and a fascinating decision between George Lombard Jr. and Anthony Volpe.The American League playoff race remains unsettled as the White Sox battle Cleveland, Toronto and Texas for position. DVR and Eno also examine the Padres’ biggest October weakness, a crushing Blue Jays loss and whether heavy workloads eventually catch up with MLB relievers.Plus, the Rays have already punched their ticket to October. DVR and Eno examine Tampa Bay’s lineup, rotation and bullpen and assess whether the Rays have everything they need to make a deep postseason run.#MLB #Yankees #Rays #MLBPlayoffs #RatesAndBarrels #baseballgame 00:00 MLB Playoff Race Heats Up01:44 White Sox Take a Huge Game From Cleveland06:31 Can the Padres’ Rotation Survive October?09:30 Blue Jays Let One Get Away11:57 How Much Is Too Much for MLB Relievers?14:29 Four More Teams Punch Their Playoff Ticket17:37 Aaron Judge Looks Like Aaron Judge Again22:02 Is the Yankees’ Rotation Getting Healthy at the Perfect Time?23:56 George Lombard Jr. or Anthony Volpe?27:09 Did Volpe Fix His Swing in Triple-A?28:43 Can the Yankees Still Steal the AL East?30:04 What Could Sink the Yankees in October?33:35 Are the Rays Built for an October Run?Like, Subscribe and drop us a comment!First Pitch Arizona: https://www.baseballhq.com/pricing/first-pitch-arizona-2026Follow 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/ratesandbarrelsRates & Barrels MERCH https://rates-and-barrels.printify.me/Hosts: Derek VanRiper & Eno SarrisExecutive Producer: McEnroe FrancisEditor: McEnroe Francis Hosted on Acast.

Are the Milwaukee Brewers built to make a deep October run? DVR is joined by WTMJ Brewers host Dominic Cotroneo to examine why Milwaukee’s unconventional offense works, Jacob Misiorowski’s transformation into an ace, Logan Henderson’s emergence and how the Brewers could build their pitching staff for the MLB postseason.First, the American League playoff picture is finally beginning to take shape. The Toronto Blue Jays have quietly pushed their way back into serious contention, while the White Sox and the rest of a crowded AL field battle for six postseason spots. Could Toronto be a dangerous “house money” team if Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and the Blue Jays get back to October?Then it’s time for Where the Money Went. Dodgers prospect Josue De Paula gets his first taste of the majors, showing impressive plate discipline and hitting his first MLB home run. DVR and Dom also discuss late-season fantasy baseball strategy, returning catchers and why finding usable pitching in the final two weeks has become increasingly difficult.Finally, Closing the Tab turns to the 2026 St. Louis Cardinals. Is Jordan Walker’s breakout sustainable? Does St. Louis have the position-player core to contend again soon? And can the organization’s pitching development catch up quickly enough to complete the rebuild?Plus, Dominic discusses the Service Time podcast and the history of baseball’s relationship with its players.#MLB #Brewers #BlueJays #MLBPlayoffs #FantasyBaseball #RatesAndBarrels00:00 Blue Jays Emerge in the AL Playoff Race03:43 Is the AL Playoff Picture Finally Taking Shape?09:25 The Blue Jays Are Making Their Move12:42 Padres-D-backs & the NL Wild Card Race18:05 Where the Money Went: Josue De Paula Arrives21:19 Late-Season Fantasy Baseball Strategy25:30 Brewers Deep Dive: Is This Team Better?29:17 Why Milwaukee’s Offense Works33:43 What Really Happened to Milwaukee in the 2025 NLCS?36:43 Misiorowski, Henderson & the Brewers’ October Rotation41:15 Who Emerges From the Brewers Bullpen?43:58 Closing the Tab: 2026 Cardinals49:03 Is Jordan Walker’s Breakout For Real?52:22 The Cardinals’ Young Core55:13 Dominic Cotroneo’s Service Time PodcastLike, Subscribe and drop us a comment!First Pitch Arizona: https://www.baseballhq.com/pricing/first-pitch-arizona-2026Follow 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/ratesandbarrelsHost: Derek VanRiper Contributor: Dominic Cotroneo Executive Producer: McEnroe FrancisEditor: McEnroe Francis Hosted on Acast.

The Under the Radar crew is back! DVR reunites with Ian Kahn and Nando Di Fino to look back at lessons from the Fantasy Baseball season, identify post-hype sleepers for 2027 and discuss the incredible rise of Yankees starter Cam Schlittler.Just how good has Schlittler become? The guys break down his dramatic improvement in command, overpowering arsenal and rapid development before asking a much bigger question: Has Schlittler already become a top-five starting pitcher?Then it's time to start looking ahead to 2027 fantasy baseball. Royce Lewis headlines a group of former top prospects who may still have another level to reach. Could Lewis' combination of power and speed finally turn him into a 20/20 player if he stays healthy? Plus, Spencer Jones is beginning to deliver on the enormous power-speed potential that made him such an intriguing Yankees prospect, while the crew looks back at a young pitching class that largely delivered on the hype this season.Finally, Jake Bauers gets his flowers in the Sage Performance Review after emerging as one of the biggest waiver-wire surprises of the season.It’s an Under the Radar reunion filled with fantasy baseball strategy, prospect talk, old predictions, receipts and plenty of stories along the way.Like, Subscribe and drop us a comment!First Pitch Arizona: https://www.baseballhq.com/pricing/first-pitch-arizona-2026Follow 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 Contributors: Nando Di Fino & Ian KahnExecutive Producer: McEnroe FrancisEditor: McEnroe Francis#FantasyBaseball #MLB #Yankees #CamSchlittler #Baseball #RatesAndBarrels00:00 Under the Radar Reunion04:02 Fantasy Baseball Lessons From 202614:21 DVR’s Fantasy Season & Young Pitching19:34 2027 Post-Hype Sleepers20:30 Christian Encarnacion-Strand23:22 Can We Still Believe in Royce Lewis?28:37 Jasson Domínguez & Spencer Jones34:44 Cam Schlittler’s Incredible Rise41:11 Is Cam Schlittler a Top-5 Starter?43:13 Nick Gonzales: 2027 Sleeper?47:04 What Matters Beyond the Numbers?53:01 Jake Bauers’ Breakout Season56:27 Under the Radar Reunion Wrap-Up Hosted on Acast.
