Ryan O'Hearn hits a 2 RBI single off of Justin Verlander to give the Orioles a 2 run lead over the Astros
Correa said he felt a tweak in his heel when he stopped on that pop fly. Very painful.
Will have to see how he feels tomorrow, but he noted that getting the days off last week had him feeling really good, and he sounded open to taking time off to have him in a better spot.
Correa: "I keep pushing through this, it’s not going to get any better. I’m not going to get any better. I’m not going to move any better. Maybe some rest and just show up and play meaningful games will probably be best. But at the same time, we haven’t clinched yet."
Correa, cont.:
"... We don’t have a spot in the postseason just yet cemented. We have to figure out a way to get that done and then we can make those decisions."
Dave Roberts was asked if he's thought what-if with Eduardo Rodriguez, given what's unfolded with #Dodgers starting rotation of late.
"No. Not from me. I think if a guy doesn't want to be here for whatever reason, then cie la vie. It's all good."

The last week in Blue Jays Land
#BlueJays ⚾️🧵Cavan Biggio
Included within:
Sexy Takes
The Best of Biggio
What's Changed?
Let The Ball Travel
Bat Speed & Attack Angles
Let's start here:
Cavan Biggio just spitting on pitches on the edge of the strike zone (9% chase rate in September, 2nd lowest in MLB).
274
Let's look at two fastballs in a similar location, one from the first half, one from this past weekend...
What's interesting is that mechanically, pre-swing and getting up to contact, not a ton is different (imo).
Above:
Left 71mph bat speed, 14 deg attack angle
Right 65mph bat speed, 5 deg attack angle
So he's swung slower, let the ball get deeper, and because the ball is deeper, the attack angle is lower/flatter.
If we expand and look at this from a macro POV, what does it tell us?
We don't have the ability (yet) to track where point of contact is being made (ie distance from front of plate)... but, another way of checking this is just how often Biggio is pulling the ball.
And sure enough, his pull rate was 50% in 1st half, down to 32% in 2nd half.
This is another example of how everything a hitter does is inter-connected.
Try to pull the ball in the air, hit home runs? That's fine, but it's going to open you up to chase more, hit more grounders to pull side, etc...

Deshaun Watson lost 25 expected points from turnovers and sacks against the Steelers. This number is in the bottom 1st percentile since 2018.
"Deshaun Watson’s 25 expected points lost to turnovers and sacks is a jaw-dropping number. That number is in the bottom 1st percentile since 2018, and he also lost an additional 5.3 expected points on non-fumble designed runs and scrambles, including two 15-yard penalties for grabbing an opponent’s facemask. Watson generated some value through the air, but was inaccurate generally (-7.5% CPOE) and hasn’t shown any signs of breaking out of his post-suspension slump. I’m not closing the book on Watson returning to the elite form we saw from 2017-2020, but if he continues to play this way, the Browns combination of trade value and contract given away to acquire Watson will go down as one of the worst personnel moves in NFL history."

From NFL on Deshaun Watson:
Officials are called upon to maintain order on the field, and sometimes while performing those duties, there is inadvertent contact between players and officials. In this instance, in their judgment, the contact did not rise to the level of a foul.

Mookie would have likely achieved this from 2018-2020 if not for COVID. He was on pace for ~140 runs in 2020.
The longest streak of 117+ run seasons belongs to Lou Gehrig as he achieved this for TWELVE straight years from 1926-1937.

The Justin Fields comment caught fire on Twitter as the Bears were on the practice field. So when they got in, Fields saw what happened on social media, and ran to OC Luke Getsy's office to take care of it.
There hadn't been an issue, and Getsy assured him there wouldn't be one.

And honestly, if you watch the presser, it was more introspection from Fields than it was criticism of the coaching. The “coaching” reference, as I took it, was Fields talking about having a lot in his head out there on the field.

- he hired an attorney today
- the Bears put out a 1 sentence notice he had resigned, didn't even thank him
- they immediately deleted all records of his existence off their website
I don't know what happened, but nobody believes this is just resigning for health reasons.

The Red Sox are now 75-78 meaning the best record they could have is 84-78.
Seattle and Texas (who the Red Sox just faced) are both 84-68 meaning the Red Sox could only tie them and since they are playing each other (7 games but 1 is enough) the Red Sox have been officially eliminated. But cheer up Red Sox fans you'll probably get to do this to us tomorrow as Toronto is the only team we can catch for that same reason we're 9 behind them with 10 games left and if they complete the sweep those numbers swap.

Dodgers took 2 of 3 from the Tigers in a hard fought series in Dodger Stadium -- but tonight, the Tigers handed them their 10,000th loss since the Dodgers became a franchise in 1884
Tigers beat the Dodgers, which makes it tougher -- but still possible -- for the Twins to clinch tomorrow.

That means that for the Twins to clinch on the off-day tomorrow, they would need both the Guardians and Tigers to lose.

Dusty Baker has traveled about 1.8 million miles for baseball, making him one of the most-traveled non-pilots on earth and putting him on a plane for almost two full years of his life.
An underrated feature on BaseballSavant is the travel measurement animator thing, which i used to measure the travel of each team old Dusty has played for or coached by season. I believe he's got the longest career of anyone in the MLB, and simply has to have traveled a farther distance than pretty much anyone in human history that didn't fly themselves there. He's traveled to the moon and back 4 times and around the earth 75 times. Per the internet, the most traveled person ever is likely a pilot named Bob Morris who's flown 4 million miles for around 35,000 flight hours. By that measure, Dusty's flown 15,750 hours, which is 656 days. And yes, as I learned today, baseball teams have been flying place to place for a longgg time.

Sounds like the Twins are expecting Carlos Correa to be active for the postseason.
There’s a full-thickness tear to the central cortex of the area, but Correa says he’s hoping the pain calms down in 3-4 days and noted the tear has helped others facilitate the healing process.
176
Jayce Tingler’s exact words were that the Twins are “super optimistic” that Correa will be active for the postseason, and Correa said in no uncertain terms that he’s not missing those games.
That word, "tear," sounds scary, but it's what has helped players in similar situations ultimately resolve the plantar fasciitis discomfort, Paparesta and Correa say.
The goal of this time off is to help address the inflammation and edema (swelling) to get him ready to play.

The same source says Alonso is seeking a 10-year deal, but the Mets have been unwilling to meet him on this number so far. Alonso will turn 29-years-old in December, so a decade long contract would bring him up to 39, which could be why the Mets are currently reluctant to go there.

Pretty neat that it had only happened twice before and now two more times this season.

#BlueJays 🇨🇦⚾️🧵Kevin Gausman's 2023
*How 3 Starts in June Defined Gausman's Season
*Struggles vs Good Offensive Teams
*Fastball Height
*Splitter Chase
Let's start here: June 11th vs Minnesota
4.2 IP, 6 ER, 4 K, 4 BB & a season-low 19% chase rate on the splitter.
That start prompted all sorts of consternation and "is he tipping" discussion... But one place the conversation landed was that Gausman couldn't be so binary (fastballs up, splitters down). And sure enough, only 39% of Gausman's fastballs that day were what I would call "low".
His next start was in Texas, against a good Rangers offence.
62% of his fastballs were down in the zone.
He got 44% chase on his splitter.
And he turned in one of his best starts of the year against a good team (6 IP, 1 ER)
What's funny is that the start before Minnesota also came against a good team...
June 6 vs Houston
63% fastballs down in zone
53% chase on splitter

"We're not looking at it as a loss. We're just looking at it as room for improvement. We're focusing on the main goal and that main goal is going out and shocking the world and beating Kansas City."

this Matt Canada situation is way worse than I initially expected
so I forced myself to write about it
yes, they played tough defenses
but it's not the results that are most concerning
it's the process
and it's worse than I thought

#Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson on the difference with Matt Eberflus calling the defense:
"There really is no fall off between (Eberflus) and Alan (Williams). I would just say that Coach Flus brings a lot more enthusiasm and he wants to pressure quarterbacks a lot more. He…

#Bears CB Tyrique Stevenson said Matt Eberflus has yet to address the team about Alan Williams' departure.
"I don't know when that is going to happen. We're just focused on the main goal and that's beating Kansas City."

Today's #Bears practice began with Kendrick Lamar's "We gon' be alright" blaring over the speakers. Luke Getsy and Justin Fields playfully hugged it out in front of the media. The atmosphere seemed loose.

#49ers Brock Purdy on 3-0:
"It’s huge. You want to win every game. We have a high standard. We want to be best version of ourselves. Yeah we won but stuff out there we can clean up and be better at. We have, what, 14 more games to do that, to be the best version of ourselves"

Ryan Fitzpatrick got Dan Marino on FaceTime to talk to Brock Purdy for the first time. Purdy wears #13 because of Marino.
Best part of this: Marino did actually throw 3 TDs on 12/27/99, the day Purdy was born.
This is really cool.

The Giants did not run the ball on first down in the first half once
With 9-10 games left to go, we could potentially see the first 3 way divisional tie
This week in the AL West the Rangers, Astros, and Mariners have the chance to do the very first 3 way tie for the division. In order for this to happen the Mariners and Rangers will have to go 5-5 and the Astros will have to go 4-5 for their final games. The Mariners and Rangers play against each other for their last 7 of 10, with both of them only playing series against division rivals (Angels v. Rangers, Mariners v. Astros). Depending on the divisional results posted by each team would decide the 3 way tie. If the Rangers at least win 2/7 against the Mariners they will have the tie breaker against the Mariners. Astros have the tiebreaker over the Rangers. Finally the Mariners have the tiebreaker over the Astros. So in order to decide the division winner in this situation it would come down to divisional record, which would go to the Mariners.
Entering their Final 10 Games, the Seattle Mariners, per FanGraphs, have almost equal odds to Win the Division (30.4%), Win a Wild Card Spot (34.4%), or Miss the Playoffs Entirely (35.2%)
Based on the performance of the team over the past three months, M's fans have had no idea how to view this team. From dominating in July and August to skidding into September, the team's been all over the place.
As it turns out, the probability can't make up it's mind either. We basically have just as much of a shot of winning division as we do of missing the dance entirely.
So for this final stretch, Seattle will have to rely on what they've known best over their final few games: Chaos Ball
Albert Pujols never struck out more than 100 times in a season
Maximum was 93 in 2001 and 2017. Next highest after that was just 76.
The Giants give up 2 runs on back to back wild pitches to extend the deficit to 3\
At no point during tonight's game have the Giants exhibited a desire to win it.
struck out 9 times to our rookie starter in a very rapid fashion
misplayed fly ball resulting in three bases to our catcher
misplayed fly ball resulting in that catcher scoring the go-ahead run
two wild pitches opening up a lead in the late innings
Looks like they're gonna fall below .500 for the first time since June 5th.

The A's must win at least 8 of their last 10 games to avoid setting the franchise low mark in winning percentage during the Kansas City--Oakland era (1955-2023)
That mark is owned, surprisingly, not by any of the Kansas City A's teams, but by the 1979 Oakland A's, who went 54-108 for a 0.333 WP. However, the 1956 KC A's were a very close second, at 52-102, for a 0.338 WP, back during the 154 game schedule days.
The A's remaining schedule includes four at the Colliseum against the Tigers starting tonight, and then three each at the Twins and the Angels.
It is very strange seeing the A's having a season like this one, given their tremendous success in Oakland in particular; the few years in the late 1970s are the only period that approach it.
