I'm sure the talk shows tomorrow will turn tonight into a referendum on Jordan Love. But that wasn't what that game was about at all—the Packers, sans David Bakhtiari, couldn't block the Lions. Which was part of getting soundly beat up front on both sides of the ball.

Matt LaFleur seemed to suggest that the Packers knew of the severity of David Bakhtiari’s injury at the time of the injury.
If that’s true, the team’s actions are insane. They’ve turned his salary into signing bonuses for three straight seasons, pushing cap hits forward.

The Detroit Lions have more wins than the rest of the NFC North combined
Lions: 3-1 Packers: 2-2 Vikings: 0-3 Bears: 0-3
Royce Newman just forklifted into Love for about 10 yards. Tom and Walker aren’t great on this either but Love is dropping way too far back (because he has to because of the interior pressure) and the tackles aren’t expecting Love to be that far back.

So a mistake! Because this is the last scheduled game, this could actually revert to a win for the Mets if they can’t finish, but since they can finish it up on Monday, that’s what they would do. Since it matters they would finish it then. So while this could revert, it won’t.

From his age 26-28 seasons (2021-2023), Shohei Ohtani accumulated exactly 28.6 bWAR. This is tied with Pedro Martinez for most in that age range since integration
Also: Ohtani was worth 14.3 WAR both with his bat and with his arm. No, you’re cherry picking! (Source: Stathead)
Gunnar Henderson (6.2 bWAR, 4.7 fWAR) and Corbin Carroll (5.3 bWAR, 5.7 fWAR) are practically tied in value for their rookie seasons and are the odds on favorite to win Rookie of the Year Awards in their leagues. If you could have one on your team who would you choose?
The National League has won the first year of balanced* interleague play at no worse than 357-325
The NL currently holds a 357-320 mark with five games left, all involving the Diamondbacks. Therefore the victory was actually clinched some time ago (but does not appear to have received a post at that time).
The big winners were the Blue Jays and Dodgers (30-16), Reds (28-17), and Brewers and Phillies (28-18).The big losers were the A's (14-32), White Sox (14-27, unfinished), and Royals (16-30). Basically, NL teams dominated the top while AL teams dominated the bottom, with the middle ground being split roughly equally.
*The IL schedule should more accurately be termed "less unbalanced", because there remains a home/away imbalance in each pairing. But it's a lot more balanced than it was.
edit: r/trovador1 points out in the comments that there are two other IL makeup games this weekend that I had overlooked, and so the minimum victory margin is therefore 357-327.
TIL: Although Jose Canseco won MVP unanimously in the first ever 40/40 season, none of the other three even received a first-place vote
Disclaimer: This post should not be seen as anti-Acuña propaganda; it is merely a trend which I found interesting.
In 1996, Barry Bonds finished 5th in MVP voting, as National League voters unanimously chose Padres third baseman Ken Caminiti. In 1998, Alex Rodriguez finished 9th - not even the highest on his own team (Ken Griffey Jr. finished 4th). First place votes were split between Derek Jeter, Nomar Garciaparra, and Juan Gonzalez. Finally, in 2006, Alfonso Soriano finished 6th place in MVP voting with the Nationals - far behind first-place vote recipients Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard.

11th out of 15 teams still with a shot at the postseason...
Cut out SEA, MIA, CHC & you'd be left with 9th out of 12.
Is that great? No.
Is that in line with a team with a league-average offence this year? Kinda.
Do we hear this narrative about the Orioles???
You know what the table above tells me? And it backs up what I’ve thought about the league as a whole for the last few months: Braves and Dodgers are the class of the league, while every other good team is pretty similar.
Here’s the thing: No one is wrong when they say, “the Jays struggle to hit good pitching” … but a fair response is: “Does anyone hit good pitching well?”
The answer seems to be: “Atlanta and L.A.” which is why Ill continue to believe the American League is wide open.
@lean flower congrats on fuckface Ramos becoming a Barça secret agent
for context for Hockey et al: Liverpool fans do not like Sergio Ramos

yeah this is the first part of the PTSD every Liverpool fan has from Liverpool vs Real Madrid
the second part is Gareth Bale (derogatory) and Karius playing on despite being concussed
third part is playing them during COVID with no fans
we will not speak about the events of 2022 and 2023 I am still recovering all I can say is don't fucking drop to Europa

All 64 Scenarios for the AL West and AL Wild Card Charted
If the Astros go 1-1 in their next 2 games, the Mariners can only either win their division, or miss out on the playoffs entirely
If the Mariners go 2-0 and the Astros go 1-1, Houston, Seattle, and Texas will all have 89 wins. The division would be decided by each team's H2H against the AL West, where Seattle has the edge.
If the Mariners go 1-1 and the Astros go 1-1, Seattle misses the playoffs by virtue of having fewer wins than both Houston and Texas.
In any scenario where Seattle and Texas are tied for a wildcard or the division, Seattle has a worse H2H against the Rangers and would take the lesser spot.
Basically, there's a world in which the Mariners go 2-0 and either win the division, or miss out on the playoffs.

The Yankees were even better through the first half of 2022 and still lost 63, which is tampas loss total with 2 games to play. Obviously their pitching staff being microwaved on high for 45 minutes didn’t help. Never allow yourself to feel joy in April. Moral of the story

Taiwanese baseball fans boo and heckle pitcher for allegedly dodging responsibility to pitch for the national team
The pitcher in question is Kai-Wei Lin (who was in the dbacks system 2016-22). He was listed as responsible by Taiwan's baseball authority to participate in the country's national team, as he did not participate in the domestic league (CPBL) draft. Opting out of the responsibility list means the need to enroll in the Taiwanese military, as the country has conscription.
Lin was originally included in the roster for Taiwan's Asian Games team, but was hurt and put on the IL. The national team thus swapped him out for another player. He however came out of the IL before the national team departed for Asian Games matches, and came out pitching for his CPBL team the day right after Team Taiwan's departure.
Local fans are furious at him seemingly dodging the responsibility to play for the country, booing and heckling him every time he took the mound. The chant depicted in the video is telling to get drafted, this time by Taiwan's Army instead.

Ronald Acuña Jr.‘s median ZiPS projection for the next 8 years
Orioles win 100 games for first time since 1980
I was an O's fan that year and remember it well. For one thing, we didn't make the postseason, as we finished 3 games behind the 103-win Yankees in the AL East.
Also, the entire MLB postseason took just two weeks. Back then there were four teams involved, and the two league division winners played best-of-five series to determine the pennant winner.
"We fought all year to get to this point and it kinda feels surreal right now that we've made it."

It's definitely clinching time . Magic # down to 1
Was going through some boxes and found em’.
For all those wondering the dome is open on this beautiful evening. I will take it any day open than the alternative. The place can get so stuffy when closed. Now onto what really matters , a Blue Jays win, a Mariners loss and a punched post season ticket tonight, let’s do it
Some added context: Swanson and Mayza didn’t know this was happening. It was a complete surprise until they walked onto the field and saw their sons standing there. Swanson says he usually asks who’s throwing but he didn’t before this one

I hate Premier League refs with a passion
you know you've fucked up when you give Salah a yellow for something that isn't celebrating a milestone goal
Found this in a flea market this morning
Of the remaining 64 different possible outcomes for the jays, only 2 scenarios result in elimination. (Jays win 1, sea wins 3, astros win 2) AND, jays win 0, sea wins 2 and houston wins 2. (Rangers eliminated with 3 losses, 2 jays wins, and 2 astros wins)
I feel like Salah has more yellows for taking off his shirt over celebrating a milestone goal than he has for actually fouling someone
guess what happened todag
What Kyle Harrison Can Teach Us About Ricky Tiedemann
After tonight's win, you could feel how much 200 innings really meant to #BlueJays starter Chris Bassitt:
"It’s been my only goal forever."
“I’m going to try not to get emotional tonight, but I think it’s the benchmark for the elite pitchers, 200 innings."

Top 3 Players Getting the Ball By Down
In 3 games so far Haason Reddick has 1 tackle and 1 QB Hit. Last year he finished 4th in DPOY voti
Last year Haason Reddick was a monster including playoffs he had 58 tackles,19.5 sacks (most in nfl),13 TFL and 32 QB hits
So far his only recorded stats were 1 tackle and 1 QB hit
Haason was one of my prediction to win DPOY so I am very surprised

The Miami Marlins — playoff team — have a -53 run differential
Compared to the recently-eliminated Cubs (+100) and Padres (+103), the Marlins obviously know when to score, and when to just chill.
The Baltimore Orioles have 101 wins, the No. 1 farm system in the sport and baseball’s top prospect.
And tonight their top minor league affiliate, the Norfolk Tides, won the Triple-A championship behind a roster with nine of the organization’s top 14 prospects.

FOR THE 31ST SEASON IN A ROW, THE NEW YORK YANKEES HAVE ACHIEVED A WINNING RECORD
Tonight’s win gives them 82 wins on the season, guaranteeing a winning season. Despite 31 straight winning seasons, only 5 World Series have been won (1996, 1998-2000, 2009). This season will also be the sixth time during the streak that the Yankees missed the playoffs (1993, 2008, 2013, 2014, 2016, and now 2023). The last time the Yankees did not have a winning season was 1992, where the Yankees finished 76-86 under rookie manager Buck Showalter

As a result of their win over Pittsburgh, Miami has clinched a playoff spot. The Marlins’ record is 84-76. The best possible record which the Cubs and Reds can get is 84-76, but Miami holds tiebreaker over both, meaning they have clinched!

For the fourth time in ten years, the Seattle Mariners have been eliminated from playoff contention on game 161 or game 162 of the regular season
I'm starting to hear that "Wild Card series isn't the REAL postseason" chatter already...
8 Scenarios Remain... Seattle has been eliminated, all that's left is ordering for seeding
Toronto is WC2 unless;
HOU Win, TOR Loss, OR
HOU Win, TOR Win, SEA Win
New Black Jerseys?
You can say the Jays backed in but they did sweep Sox then win two big series on the road after the Rangers series and then 2 big wins Thursday and Friday…
I dunno, they’re still the 4th best record in the AL playing in the hardest division there is.

Brandon Belt on Blue Jays' final week & potentially clinching in 162: "Torture. Torture is probably a pretty good word for it."
Matt Chapman: "Why wouldn't it happen this way? It's kind of been the way our season has gone."
Bo Bichette: "I don't think that surprises anybody."

32 Scenarios Remain, 24/32 WC2, 5/32 WC3, 3/32 eliminated
To add onto the Eden hype, I met him outside the stadium and he was super kind and outgoing!
Cam Eden was greeted by a standing ovation last night, before, and after his first MLB at-bat. Totally caught off guard, Eden told @ShiDavidi and me, he was overwhelmed by the welcome.
"It still doesn't feel real to me. It's probably the happiest I've been after a strikeout"

I might copy you
Watching the Deshaun-less Browns get embarrassed like this is making my head hurt
I am not having a good Sunday
you now know what watching liverpool yesterday was like
lost 3 points with two players sent off on a freak own goal with less than 30 seconds left
also three of the refs were in the UAE reffing a match there not even 3 days prior while arguably the biggest fucking pain in our arse in Manchester City is owned by UAE royalty
so I am just... fuming still
to put this in Star Wars terms Liverpool said it's time for this group of PGMOL officials to end
everyone is PISSED
Brighton are going to be dead on Sunday
also USG about to take a beating on a Jota and Jones hat trick
Imagine losing to the 2023 Denver Broncos

That's a FOURTH goal-line turnover for the Vikings, one for each of their 4 games. Incredible. The touchdown to Jefferson is wiped out by hold on Josh Oliver, and then Kirk Cousins throws the pick 6.

The 2022 season was the Chicago Bears' 103rd in the National Football League (NFL) and their first under general manager Ryan Poles and head coach Matt Eberflus. They failed to improve upon their 6–11 record from the previous season.
Despite starting with a 2–1 record, the Bears lost 13 of their last 14 games including a franchise-record 10-game...
The Chicago Bears have scored 21 or more points for the first time since November 2022
