38 homers, 36 doubles, and 20 steals on the season. Absolutely amazing offensive season for Robert to complement gold glove level CF defense. He certainly has the ability, strength, and speed for a 40-40 or 30-30-30 season but has to be able to steal without getting injured and stay healthy like he has this year.

#

Brian O’Nora’s umpire scorecard from last night

#

The 2023 Oakland Athletics have had 24 different pitchers start games for them this season

#

The A's are currently using a 6-man rotation: JP Sears (30 starts), Ken Waldichuk (21), Paul Blackburn (19), Luis Medina (16), Joe Boyle (2), and Joey Estes (1). Six starters, 89 games.

Their current bullpen includes Kyle Muller (13), Mason Miller (6), Zach Neal (2), Dany Jimenez (1), Adrian Martinez (1), and Francisco Perez (1). 12 starters, 113 games.

Their injured list includes James Kaprielian (11), Austin Pruitt (6), Drew Rucinski (4), Sean Newcomb (2), and Freddy Tarnok (1). 17 starters, 137 games.

As for the remaining 7, Shintaro Fujinami (7) and Hogan Harris (6) account for 13 of the remaining 18 games that Oakland has played. Fujinami has been traded to Baltimore, and Harris has been exiled to AAA Las Vegas.

This leaves 1 game each having been started by Sam Long, Sam Moll, Adam Oller, Tayler Scott, and Spenser Watkins. Long, Scott, and Watkins have each been demoted to AAA as well; Moll was traded to Cincinnati for current starter Joe Boyle, and Oller was lost to Seattle on waivers.

#

The A's have won 15 of the past 20 against the Tigers the past few seasons.. and currently have a decisive edge of 4-2 coming into today. Who is that 'special someone' that regardless who's better, they keep beating you guys,?

Phillies vs Mets Doug Eddings Umpire Scorecard for last night's game

#

Kyle Schwarber in 2023 .198/.344/.473 with 100 RBIs, 45 HR, 105 runs scored, and leads all MLB in strikeouts

#

The Atlanta Braves currently have the biggest team slugging percentage in MLB history this season

#

The Braves also own the 12th-highest team OPS ever - in addition to a team wRC+ of 125, which is tied with the 1927 Yankees for the second-best ever.

The Braves have eight games left to hit 12 home runs, which would break the record held by the 2019 Twins.

Acuña is having one of the greatest seasons of all time, and we are truly seeing one of the greatest lineups ever constructed break records - even if some of those records haven’t lasted for that long.

#

Matt Olson becomes the 16th player to join the 50-100-100-100 club

The 50-100-100-100 club is 50+ home runs, 100+ runs scored, 100+ rbi, and 100+ walks. Matt Olson is the 16th member to join the club and the 1st from the Braves. Here's the link for the 50-100-100-100 club:

3 wins and a Magic # of 4 to clinch

#

oday's win and Houston and Seattle's (likely) losses mean we only need 90 wins to clinch and our magic number drops from 7 to 4 a rare occurrence where a magic number can drop by three.

The reason being the losses now mean the multi team tiebrdak scenario where all 4 teams have 90 wins is now impossible. So the new worst case scenario is

TOR: 90-72

TEX: 90-72

HOU: 90-72

SEA: 89-73

Houston has to win all its games against Arizona, and 2 against the Seattle. Seattle will need to win the other 1 against Houston and then 4 of 4 against Texas. Texas just needs to sweep the Angels. Houston will win AL West via tiebreak with Texas. Texas will win WC2 via tiebreak with Toronto. Toronto will win WC3.

If Seattle does comeback the specific worst case scenario changes but our wins needed will not. Our magic # will still be 4.

The magic #s to be beat each team are (again assuming Texas holds on).

H: 4

S: 5

T: 8

Earliest we can clinch is Wednesday if Houston loses on Monday and Tuesday to Seattle and we will Tuesday and Wednesday.

Miami have the six fastest ball carries on the season!

#

Andrew Beck (255 pounds) is the 2nd largest player to return a kickoff for a touchdown, trailing only Casey Fitzsimmons (258 pounds) who returned an onside kick for a touchdown in 2007

#

Despite surrendering that all-time terrible defensive performance yesterday, the Broncos have only surrendered 16 more points than the Bears and 23 more yards than the Chargers through 3 games

#

At this point next week it is conceivable that the Broncos will somehow not be the 32nd-ranked defense in either points or yards allowed.

(Points will happen if the Broncos beat the Bears by 17+).

#

According to Next Gen Stats, the top 6 fastest clocked speeds so far this season all belong to 3 Miami Dolphins players

#

Tyreek Hill - 22.07mph

Devone Achane - 21.93mph

Tyreek Hill - 21.66mph

Raheem Mostert - 21.62mph

Tyreek Hill - 21.52mph

Devone Achane - 21.5mph

#

Jaylen Waddle - 20.99mph

Top three QB PFF grades after Week 3: Tua (92.2), Mahomes (90.0), Trevor Lawrence (85.9)

#

the official NFL record for yards is a game is 735 held by the Rams. However the game occurred in a weird two year window where sack yardage wasn’t counted against a team’s total yards. Which means that a -13 yard sack during the game didn’t count against the Rams yards which would have dropped them to 722 yards. That means while the 726 yards by the Dolphins yesterday is the most by a team in a game, it’s not the official record.

#

[Goldman] The Chiefs pulled Jawaan Taylor in order to have Prince Tega Wanogho align at a similar depth to see if the officials would call a penalty. Donovan Smith also set deeper than he did in the first half. Neither got flagged.

#

Through week 3 (MNF not included) Trent McDuffie is the #1 graded CB by PFF with a grade of 90.6

#

The Packers have their first SNF game Week 13. The last time they didn't have a SNF game in the first 3 weeks of the season was 2014

#

The draw of Aaron Rodgers on SNF. Pretty impressive stretch of having a Sunday Night Football one of the first THREE weeks of the season.

Since 2021, Jalen Hurts' only regular season loss has come at the hands of the Washington Commanders on November 14, 2022. Prior to that, his last regular season loss was on November 28, 2021 against the New York Giants.

#

After Week 3, Tank Dell and DeVonta Smith are the only players in the AFC South and NFC East with multiple receiving TDs. Every AFC East team has at least 1 such player and every AFC West team has 2. These 2 divisions have 14 of 30 players with 2+ rec TD. Minnesota is the only team with 3 of them

Through three games, the Browns defense has given up just one touchdown. Even more impressively, through these first 3 games, the Browns offense has given up two defensive touchdowns

#

Weeks 1 and 3, the Browns held their opponent to just a field goal - no TDs.

Week 2, the Browns defense only gave up one TD to the Steelers.

That same game, The Browns offense gave up a pick-6 and a scoop-n-score to the Steelers defense - two touchdowns.

Even if you include the four total field goals given up by the defense, the season point totals come down to 19 points given up by the defense, 14 points given up by the offense. That is comedically stupid.

A historically great start from the defense, leapfrogged by a hilariously awful game by the offense in Week 2.

The San Francisco Giants have been eliminated from Postseason contention.

#

The Giants went 1-5 against the Cubs who they'd tie for the 3rd wild card if they won out and the Cubs lost out, and the only other NL wild card contending team they could tie who they won the season series against is the Reds, who the Giants went 4-3 against, which would still make them sub-.500 against the Cubs/Reds combination in a 3-way tie, so there's no tie they can possibly win.

Anyone else finally accept WAR as a statistic, and then find out that a lot of your heroes growing up only stayed that good for like half, maybe 60% of their careers? I’m shocked that Griffey Jr. stopped adding to his overall value several years before retiring. Anyone else have moments like this?

Ronald Acuña has set another record: most outs made on barreled baseballs in the Statcast era

#

This one is slightly less exciting than some others. Leaderboard here.

Just like Aaron Judge who set the record last year, Acuña might be on his way to winning an MVP in a season when he was actually pretty unlucky offensively.

Barrels are a quality-of-contact metric, defined as batted balls with an expected batting average over .500 and an expected slugging percentage over 1.500 based upon exit velocity and launch angle. In other words, barrels are balls in play that go for extra base hits more than 50% of the time.

Here’s a list of his 30 barreled outs, if you’re interested.

#

Pujols 700 homeruns

Judge breaking the AL homerun record

Miggy’s 3,000th hit

Acuna first ever 40/60 season

Blake Snell will win the Cy Young despite leading the league in walks

Ohtani just being Ohtani

I’m sure there is much more, but I feel like the past couple years of baseball have been the most exciting of my lifetime.

(I’m 25, so I do not remember the Steroid Era vividly, but I’m sure it was much more exciting.)

If Logan Webb’s season is indeed over, here’s a list of stats which are identical to Aaron Nola’s 2022 stats: 11-13 W-L, 3.25 ERA, 2 CG, 1 SHO, 0.8 HR/9, 1.3 BB/9

#

Additionally, these stats are nearly identical (Webb first, then Nola): G/GS 33/32, WAR 5.7/5.9, HR 20/19, BB 31/29.

They are a part of a group of only 8 pitchers total since 1901 (and the first in 70 years!) to post a season with 5+ WAR, lead their league in BB/9, and still have a losing record. The others:

Ken Raffensberger 1951

Dave Koslo 1949

Ken Raffensberger 1944 (poor guy)

Sherry Smith 1924

Ed Walsh 1910

Cy Young 1905

Noodles Hahn 1904

In 2020, Josh Hader lost in arbitration to the Brewers. One of the reasons cited was lack of saves. Since 2020, 174 of his 194 appearances have been in the 9th inning or later, and and only 1 of those appearances have been more than 3 outs

#

Hader was initially used in a fireman role form 2017-2019, recording 204.2 innings in 151 games, while having 80 multiple inning appearances. After losing in arbitration Hader was mainly used in a traditional closer role. Hader expressed enjoyment in his new role, and his performance may have gotten better (this could be for many different reasons, like routine, lighter work load, or stength of batters faced).

Brandon Nimmo has passed Dick Ellsworth for most bWAR of all time for Wyomians.

Lots of talk about the “tush push”.
(ridiculous name by the way)

Unpopular opinion:
If they weren’t allowed to push from behind, the Eagles would still be just as successful at QB sneaks.

Yes it helps, but the push isn’t the reason it’s successful. The OLine and Jalen are.

The Padres win against the Giants tonight ends their streak of extra inning games without a win. They ultimately tie the 0-12 record set by the Montreal Expos in 1969.

#

Enjoy it while it lasts: Miguel Cabrera and Zack Greinke are the final remaining active players to have faced the Montreal Expos. With Cabrera's intention to retire and Greinke being a huge question mark, this may very well be the last season we have a player on a roster spot with Expos connections

#

Cabrera faced Montreal for two years before they ceased operations whereas Greinke had a single start against them (and won).

This fun fact is not so fun and will not help many of us feel any younger.

27.0 K% (4th)

0.98 WHIP (1st)

His 2.63 ERA is the lowest by a qualified Yankee in a 162-game season since Rudy May in 1980 (2.46).

Cy Young easily

#

With their 81st win today, the New York Yankees continue their streak of 31 seasons without a losing record

#

The Yankees are 81-77, meaning the worst record they could finish with is 81-81. The last losing season for the Yankees was 1992, where they finished 76-86

#

With their win tonight against the Blue Jays, the Yankees have won their 81st game and successfully avoided their first losing season since 1992

Francisco Lindor secures a 30/30 season with his second home run of the game and third of the doubleheader

#

The MLB leader in ERA since 2022 (min 250 IP): Clayton Kershaw

#

Just browsing through FGs looking through leaderboards and came across this. We all know about the injuries but when that man is on the field, he's still arguably the best pitcher in the game.

10th in xFIP, 9th in K-BB%, 10th in SIERA, 11th in FIP-. Pretty rare for a pitcher to decidedly exit their prime and still be arguably the best in the game

He prob isn't the best bc of his volume but on rate stats and on a per inning basis he's up there. The GOAT

WAR Variant Rankings - Pitchers (through 9/26/23)

#

Adam Wainwright’s 7.32 xERA in 2023 is the worst for any pitcher in a season in the Statcast era (min 100 IP)

#

The previous leader was Chi Chi Gonzalez, who posted a 6.72 xERA in 101.2 IP in 2021 for the Rockies. Wainwright is not pitching in Coors. This is an apocalyptic final campaign, especially for a team that could have contended with better pitching.

Tomorrow's probabilities

#

No change to Magic Number or clinching scenario

#

Magic # is 3. Wins is 3.

Magic #: The total number of Jays wins and their losses for the Jays to outrank them at the end of the season. The lowest of all 3 teams is the overall magic # for making the playoffs (ignoring 3 and 4 way tiebreaker scenarios).

Houston: 3 (because we hold the tiebreak) Seattle:3 Texas: 7

Worst Case Clinching Scenario: The final records of the other relevant teams, that because we can no longer directly impact them, will require us to have the most wins to clinch a postseason spot.

TEX: 89-73

HOU: 90-72

SEA: 89-73

Which means we will need 90 wins to make the postseason.

Scenario details: Houston has to win all its games against Arizona, and and the remainder with Seattle. Seattle will then need to win 4 of 4 against Texas. Texas just needs to sweep the Angels. Houston will AL West. Toronto wins WC2 and Texas WC3.

First chance to Clinch will be the end of the Toronto -NY game on Friday

Tomorrow we beat NY and Texas beats Seattle.

Friday we beat Tampa.

Alternatively ,

Tomorrow we beat NY. Friday we beat Tampa and Houston loses to Arizona.

Helping the runner, also called assisting the runner and aiding the runner, is a penalty in gridiron football that occurs when an offensive player pulls or carries the ball carrier in order to gain additional yards. Though originally a common call, the penalty has become extremely rare, having last been called at the professional level in 1991. ...

#

Pushing the ballcarrier was illegal in American football from the ~1890s until 2005 (NFL) and 2013 (NCAA)
