Who gets the players will be determined by reverse order of record. The team with the worst record that puts in a claim on a player will receive him. And there are going to be plenty of claims put in from playoff-caliber teams that need a starter, bullpen help and bats.

Pet rocks and home runs: Why are baseball players so superstitious?...

Los Angeles Dodgers centerfielder James Outman keeps a pet rock (complete with a drawn-on smiley face) in his locker both at home and on the road to help him hit. He's one of many players over the course of baseball history, to adhere to some form of superstition. From the Orioles' Mike Cuellar in the 1970s to the Yankees' Jason Giambi in the ea...

Here is the reverse MLB playoff picture. Who do you think would win the World Series?

#

Number of different batting orders used by each MLB team this year. And how many times the most common order has been used

#

Two exceptional umpire scorecards from yesterday accomplished by Erich Bacchus and Vic Carapazza

#

n his last 10 games, Aaron Judge is 8 for 39, with 8 home runs, 5 walks, and 17 K's, for a truly prolific "Three True Outcomes" rate of 68%

#

actual stats are 7 for 39 with 7 home runs, 5 walks and 17 Ks, for a TTO rate of 65.9%.

#

As we near the end of August, here is a scatterplot of team win percentages this month and for the season as a whole. How is your team doing this month?

#

Ke’bryan Hayes since returning from the IL on Aug. 2nd: 101 PA, .323/.366/.570, .936 OPS

#

After going 4-4 with a walk yesterday against the Royals, he finally raises his season OPS+ to a 100, a solid stretch for the man who ranks 3rd in all of baseball in outs above average with 13 (100th percentile of course.)

Maybe he’s finally tapping into that offensive potential he’s been rumored to have.

Also satisfying to see this after multiple people on the Pirates subreddit saying he sucks and provides no real value.

Full Quote:

“We waited 10 weeks. Made a trade for a quarterback (Jimmy Garoppolo). He played five games and then we made him the highest-paid quarterback of all time, at the time. Then he played two of the next five years and did really good in those two years. His injuries for three of those five years were legit. It was rough on him, rough on us. Then we made a move to go to a younger quarterback (Trey Lance). We thought he would be ready in two years and he wasn’t. And now we have a different younger quarterback. So, that’s the situation.”

From the February article:

Purdy’s rise from being selected as “Mr. Irrelevant” has been one of the most remarkable stories of the NFL season. The Athletic reviewed a pre-draft scouting report from an NFL team to explore why the four-year college starting quarterback lasted so long in the draft, then spoke to the coach who wrote that report and asked, on the condition of anonymity for competitive reasons, what he sees in Purdy now, what other teams might have overlooked and why the 23-year-old has been such an ideal fit for the 49ers.

[...]

The strengths for Purdy were that he was “VERY” experienced with 48 college starts and that he manages the game well, making the routine plays consistently. He was creative as the play extends and “works through his progressions very well.”

The weaknesses: “sawed off … not a very good athlete … limited arm, both in strength and throw repertoire.”

[...]

Asked where he thinks Purdy would be drafted now based on what he’s shown this year, the coach said probably second or third round.

“We undervalued his agility and probably the mental side, and San Francisco is perfect for it because they put a lot of importance on that because of their offense,” he said. “In San Francisco, he can operate and play-action and boot and screen and manage the game. It’s not like he’s playing in a system like in Buffalo where the Bills are relying on Josh Allen sitting back and just chucking the ball all over the field, where it’s like, ‘Good Lord, how are you making those throws?’”

#

2024 NFL Mock Draft: Early 1st-Round Forecast Heading into Week 1

[Goldsmith] Bengals first-round pick Myles Murphy called his preseason a “humbling experience.” It looked like he’d have to be patient this year. Now with Joseph Ossai out, the Bengals need Murphy right away. “Anyone who knows me knows that I’m going to keep putting pressure on myself.”

Joe Burrow also leads the all time list. 2nd place is Drew Brees at 67.7%.

Overall 9 of the top 10 all time leaders are active players.

"I told a friend this has felt like waking up inside of a dream, this whole experience. A beautiful dream. So many times you have a great dream and you wake up and you think: I just want to get back into that but I can’t quite get back into the dream. I’ve woken up inside of that dream and it’s been really, really special. There’s a lot of times — I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — where I just look around and say: This is my life now. How cool is this?

"It happens in the locker room, it happens walking out and it's the fresh air and the sun setting. It’s just (thinking) what an awesome day it was because of whatever it was, a conversation I had with Mekhi, getting to see Billy Turner and catch up with him, a play that happened that really was fun that we talked about and wanted to happen … or we’re driving to the city and you hit that spot before you go in the tunnel and you’re looking across to the city going: How cool is my life now? I just try to keep that perspective every day here and it’s been easy because one thing has happened almost every single day that just reminds me I’m in the right place, I’m where I’m supposed to be and I’m really just loving what this opportunity has given me ...

"Everyday I’m thinking — and I won’t say it out loud — but I’ll sit back with the guys in the room, take a second sometimes and it's: How cool is this?"

Strength of Schedule for every team heading into Week 1

#

NFL teams with the easiest schedules in 2023:

Indianapolis Colts

#

NFL teams with the hardest schedules in 2023:

New England Patriots
Las Vegas Raiders
Miami Dolphins
Los Angeles Chargers
Kansas City Chiefs

#

The Oakland Athletics (August 26th) and Kansas City Royals (August 30th) were both eliminated from playoff contention before we reached September. The next possible candidate for elimination (Colorado Rockies) still has a 9-game buffer before they are eliminated from NL Wild Card contention

#

While the Rockies have been eliminated from contention for the NL West, they are 20.5 games back in the NL Wild Card race with 29 games left to play. They will avoid the distinction of being mathematically eliminated before the NFL season even rolls around.

Apple opts for Rays-Guardians & Mariners-Mets for their Apple TV+ broadcasts on Friday.

A bit disappointing that a matchup with 4 MVP candidates & the top 2 seeds of the NL last season who both split NLCS against each other to win the World Series won't air in front of a national audience.

Absolutely crazy that 2013 Miggy was possible better than his 2012 Triple Crown season and just missed back to back Triple Crowns which was only accomplished in the Negro Leagues by Josh Gibson in 1936/37.

#

Spencer Strider is comically overpowering

#

Some points:

-He's a ridiculously consistent swinging strikeout pitcher

-Gerrit Cole is also a chad.

#

Are Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez just a package deal?

#

They both joined the Nationals organization in 2012.

They played together in Auburn in 2013, Hagerstown in 2014, Potomac in 2015, and Harrisburg in 2016.

They made their big-league debuts for the Nats in 2016.

They were traded together from Washington to the White Sox after the 2016 season.

They then played together in Charlotte in 2017 before making it for good with the Chisox later that year.

They were then traded together from the South Siders to the Angels.

They were then claimed at the same time by the Guardians.

What I’m wondering is, where will they sign next year?

Weirdest slash line ever? In 1956, Eddie Yost hit .231/.412/.336 with 151 walks and only 119 hits.

#

His walk rate of 22% that year is the same as Ted Williams’ 1949 MVP season just to give a quick reference of how elite it was.

Yost had such a funny career. Led the league in walks 6 times (more times than guys like Mickey Mantle and Jimmie Foxx) but had no pop. Such a classic lead off guy. For those who didn’t know, his nickname was The Walking Man lol. Fun little piece of baseball history.

During the lifetime of Jasson Dominguez (born February 7, 2003), the Yankees have won just two pennants. The last Yankee for whom this was true was Oscar Roettger, who debuted with the team in July 1923

#

You could say this for all of the 1923 Yankees, but Roettger was the last to debut with the team before they won their third straight pennant and third overall. They are also the most recent Yankees who had not seen the team win a World Series during their lifetimes.

No accurate measure exists for the performance of a manager. No metric similar to Wins Above Replacement exists, and even WAR is only an estimate of a player’s value that different publications calculate differently.

#

Ha-seong Kim this season has a higher single season bWAR than Xander Bogaerts ever did in his career.

#

Xander's single season high was 6.3 in 2019.

Kim this season is now at 6.4.

And this is despite Kim playing 2B instead of SS where he would likely accumulate even more WAR.

Winning Percentage through August, 2022 vs 2023

Marcell Ozuna in the month of August: 29G, .358BA/.433 OBP/.698 SLG/1.131 OPS, 201 wRC+ (9 2B, 9 HR, 25 RBI). He is not in contention for NL POTM

#

Other notable shoutout that isn't Mookie Betts - Bryce Harper August: 26G, .361BA/.452 OBP/.784 SLG/1.236 OPS, 221 wRC+ (9 2B, 1 3B, 10 HR, 24 RBI).

Mookie Betts August: 28G, .455BA/.516 OBP/.839 SLG/1.355 OPS, 265 wRC+ (10 2B, 11 HR, 30 RBI).

#

Yesterday, Mookie Betts went 2-4 with 2 HR and a BB (521 wRC+, 0.3 WAR). He lost ground on the WAR leaderboards with Acuña (3-4, grand slam, BB, and SB). These were the best two performances in yesterday’s games

Fun Fact: Each team in the NFC North besides the Detroit Lions have had a 15 win regular season

#

Those teams being the 2011 Packers, 1985 Bears and 1998 Vikings. The Bears being the only team to have won a Superbowl in their 15 win season. Just something that came to mind the other day.

Alot of people think (along with myself) that the other 2 should have won it all that year (Packers were defending champs and had guys like Rodgers, Clay Matthews, Donald Driver, Jordy Nelson, BJ Raji, Gregg Jennings, Charles Woodson etc.). I don’t even need to beat a dead horse with that 98 Vikings team so I’ll leave it at that

#

The 9 of the last 10 Super Bowls involved at least 1 team that didn’t win a single playoff game the season prior

2022: Eagles
2021: Bengals*
2020: Buccaneers*
2019: 49ers*
2018: Rams
2017: Eagles*

2015: Broncos
2014: None

Tank Dell is reportedly “out to prove” all the teams that passed on him that they made a mistake.

Dell said recently that he has “written down” the names of all eight WR’s taken ahead of him and remembers them all.

Dell also said he believes he’s going to be the “hardest worker” of the this past year’s WR class.

Dell is reportedly going to be used like a “Swiss army knife” throughout the season, whether that be as a runner, receiver, or returner.

The Texans got themselves a DAWG

TLDR: Jones looking for 28M per year (3 years, 84.5M) whereas Chiefs offered 24M per year (3 years, 74.5M). Chiefs offer believed to include 70M guaranteed for injury, lesser amount fully guaranteed
