Wow. That's the game. Fields throws an interception on third-and-13. The Broncos will go on to win 31-28.

Playing with a 3rd string O line against TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith? No problem for the rookie
Also continues his record breaking int-less streak and didn't take a sack as well
Probably should have gotten a rushing TD as well early in the game but just short. His mobility was labeled as a weakness
C.J. Stroud through 4 games: 1212 yards, 6 TDs, 0 INTs, 100.6 passer rating
Stroud has been not just "good for a rookie" so far, but very good in general
@sick perch lol
Baker Mayfield final statline vs the Saints. 25/32 242 yards 3TDs 1 INT.
Another extremely efficient performance from Mayfield. If you watch any Bucs games it's clear this is the kind of offense he excels in. He's making great throws under pressure, and just overall playing in a way that keeps this team in the game at all times. It's just great to see this dude perform at a high level.
What a beautiful send-off. 💙

Of the 6 teams to have never won a world series who do you think is most likely to win it first
The teams are: Seattle Mariners (who have never made an appearance) The Rockies The Brewers The Padres The Rangers The Rays
Trea Turner isn't the only Philly to break a record this year. Rodolfo Castro has set the single-season record for most plate appearances to reach an 0-2 count without recording a single hit. (since 1988, when this data started being tracked)
My buddy from Detroit was working and was on break at 9 pm and he took this pic which was A Tribute to miggy!
Tek said it best. Tim Wakefield exemplified what it means to play for the Boston Red Sox. He represented this organization flawlessly. There is no higher standard. It’s Wake.

Why does J.D. Martinez have relatively little bWAR for 2023, despite being an All-Star? Is it just because he's a DH?
His OPS is .893, and he hit 33 home runs in 2023. Why is his WAR so low?

Josh Allen is done for the day. His stats: 21-25 for 320 yds and 5 total TDs, posting a perfect passer rating of 158.3

The San Francisco Giants have now officially gone 19 seasons without having a player hit 30+ home-run
Barry Bonds with 45 in 2004 is the last Giant to do it. Tigers used to have the second longest streak dating back to 2016 until Torkelson broke it.
There’s no updates for now on either Phil Nevin or Perry Minasian.
The Angels have not yet scheduled an end of season press conference for tomorrow. That is something they do every year, but have held off for now.

Assuming The Dbacks Do Not Come Back Down 7 Runs, Kyle Tucker Will Have Reached & Lost 30/30 In The Same Game
Tucker hit a Little League HR in the fifth inning that the scorers initially ruled Triple, E9. It was eventually changed to Triple, Advancement On The Throw. It was then changed to an Inside-The-Park HR, giving him his 30th HR. It was later changed again to Triple, Advancement On The Throw, stripping his 30th HR away from him. Thus he reached and lost 30/30 in the same game.

Kyle Schwarber has been removed from the game, meaning he will fall just one strikeout short of becoming only the 4th player in MLB history to achieve The Full Nelson (As many homers (35+) & strikeouts (216+) in a season as Hall of Famer Nellie Fox had in his 19 year career)
The only 3 to accomplish this are:
2009 Mark Reynolds - 44 homers - 223 strikeouts
2012 Adam Dunn - 41 homers - 222 strikeouts
2016 Chris Davis - 38 homers - 219 strikeouts
The only player to ever Half Nelson with only the strikeout component is 2018 Yoan Moncada who had 217 strikeouts but only 17 homers.

Cam Gallagher has quietly had a historic season in Cleveland
In a season full of frustration for Cleveland baseball fans, most of which centered around one of the most anemic offenses in baseball which has been at or near the bottom of the league in a number of categories all season long, nothing sums up the frustration more than the amazing ability Cam Gallagher has shown to hang on to a roster spot and receive consistent playing time all season long.
As Cam's season has most likely come to an end following a start in yesterday's game, he has now posted the worst OPS and wRC+ in baseball history for a non-pitcher with at least 140 PAs. A balmy .322 OPS and -17 wRC+.
He joins this illustrious list of noted sluggers to somehow reach 140+ PAs with a negative wRC+ in baseball history:
Cam Gallagher (2023) - 149 PA, .126/.154/.168, -17 wRC+,
Frank O'Rourke (1912) - 216 PA, .122/.177/.148, -11 wRC+
Pat Rockett (1978) - 157 PA, .141/.212/.155, -11 wRC+
Tony Pena Jr (2008) - 235 PA, .169/.189/.209, -8 wRC+
Rafael Belliard (1996) - 148 PA, .169/.179/.218, -7 wRC+
Andy Anderson (1949) - 152 PA, .125/.207/.169, -6 wRC+
Bob Didier (1970) - 183 PA, .149/.210/.173, -3 wRC+
If we were to include pitchers into the list the only player in the history of baseball to post a worse stat line than Cam Gallagher in 2023 over the course of a sample large enough to clear 140 PAs would be Dave Davenport of the 1915 St Louis Terriers, who in 147 plate appearances put up a .092/.157/.092 slash line and a -22 wRC+.

The Marlins Are 26th In Runs Scored And Made The Playoffs
Denver’s biggest loss since last Sunday
Ohtani will end the season leading the AL in home runs despite playing only 135 games.
Is this the fewest games played by a home run leader in a season? Tried googling it and couldn’t find an answer. And don’t feel like looking at stats of every home run leader over the years.
Top September team records were--> Padres 19-7. Twins/Marlins 18-9. O's were next at 18-10, followed by Yanks and Tigers 17-10, Brewers at 17-11, then the Rays and Jays at 16-11, and the Braves and Dodgers at 16-12. So how much did September make or break your team this season?
For the Tigers, it merely sets forth a warning of what's to come in terms of our pitching staff, as it gave up just 87 runs, or 3.22 per game.

34% of the way to breaking the rookie receiving yards record (of 1473 held by Bill Groman)
37% of the way to breaking the rookie receptions record (of 104 held by Jaylen Waddle)
outpacing Calvin Johnson's record-setting 2012 season by 78 yards and 10 receptions (with many caveats, one being a 156yd avg from weeks 8-15 for Megatron.. and not being a rookie lol)
hes also barely pacing above Michael Thomas' receptions record of 149 as well as being one single yard above the pace to be the first 2,000 yard receiver
as well as set multiple rookie records already for X-week based stats, such as receptions and yards through the first four games (Puka has already beaten two week-5 records before playing a snap!)
This thread wasnt meant to say that he will break any (or all hehe) of these records but that his pace thus far, for a rookie, is out of this world; will Kupp's return put a huge damper on things or will Stafford get both their dues?

I know this is extremely premature and we'll need to see this level of play consistently for several weeks in a row for this to even be a real question. But just as a thought experiment: if something really did click last night and this was a turning point for Zach, what should the Jets do when Aaron Rodgers gets healthy? Do you play the 40 year old HOFer or move on with the up and coming 24 year old on the last year of his rookie contract?
On the one hand it's hard to believe Aaron won't be the better option for a single year if they want to go all in. On the other hand do you risk mortgaging the next 10 years of (potentially) good qb play for a 1-year run with a 40 year old coming off an achilles tear? Would Zach be content to be patient for a year and go back to supporting his idol from the bench? As a lifelong Packers fan and A-Rod supporter and also one of the few people who has supported Zach and never fully given up on him, I'm pretty torn.

Daniel Jones is on pace to be the most sacked Quarterback in one season in NFL history
The quarterback who currently holds the record for being sacked the most times in a single NFL season is David Carr, who was sacked 76 times in the 2002 season.
Daniel Jones is on pace to be sacked 84 times this season.
EDIT: HOWEVER, Sam Howell is ALSO on pace to break the sack record. Tune into the NFC East for the rest of the season to see who gets to hold this prestigious record.
Seahawks have tied a team record with 11 sacks tonight.

QBs to be sacked at least ten times and throw at least two interceptions, 1993-2023:
John Beck (2011)
Daniel Jones (tonight)
The last player prior to 1993 to have that kind of night was Bernie Kosar in 1992. The guy before that was Troy Aikman...who is calling this game.
This is quite a note from @ESPNStatsInfo: There are two teams who haven't run an offensive play with a lead this season: the New York Giants and the New York Jets.

Shutout opener against the Cowboys and made a usually mediocre Seahawks pass rush look like the Steel Curtain tonight
Giants in striking distance of worst point differential record
40-0, 31-28 (W), 30-12, 24-3
-76 pts / -19 ppg
The '76 Bucs were -287 pts / -20.5 ppg over 14 games
At this rate, with 17 games, assuming they don't make the playoffs (lol), they will end at -323 pts.
We may not get the per game record, but the volume record is attainable, even if we slide to -17 ppg with the benefit of extra games.
Looking forward to the Dolphins and Bills.
The Seahawks recent performance of getting 11 sacks against the Giants was 3 short of tying the record of 14, which was accomplished in 1952 when the Eagles achieved 14 sacks against... the Giants.
With their d-line not being the hallmark of the team like say, the eagles, 49ers, or cowboys the seahawks got close to making history
Which prompts the question, with how nonexistent the giants oline is right now, do you think a team in their upcoming schedule could get to 14 sacks? or break it? Or do you think the giants pull it together down the line and Danny's bones won't be scrunched forever?
Brian Daboll was asked what he wanted Daniel Jones to do on his pick-six:
"Obviously, not throw an interception."

Through 4 games, Daniel Jones has been sacked 23 times and hit 37 total times. The Giants are on pace to give up nearly 100 sacks this season, which would be 2nd-worst in NFL history. (self.nfl)
Jones was sacked 7 times against Dallas, 3 times in Arizona, 2 times against the 49ers, and 11 times tonight.
The 1986 Eagles hold the record for most sacks allowed in a season, with 104. The 1997 Arizona Cardinals are currently the 2nd-worst, with just 78 sacks allowed.

Let me clear up a misunderstanding of an earlier post claiming that it was the PS family photo where not every team was advertised. That was actually the graphic for MLB’s top 10 players of the postseason (2nd pic). This is the actual postseason graphic from MLB’s page where everyone is advertised.
Angel Hernandez finished the regular season as the lowest rated umpire (min 10 games).
He didn't get his start until August due to a back injury, but he racked up 161 bad calls in 10 games, including the lowest rated game.

The 2023 Astros had the second biggest drop in wins from one season to the next by a repeat division winner... ever
The Houston Astros won 16 less games this season than they did last season, dropping from 106-56 to 90-72. Nonetheless, by the skin of their teeth they still managed to repeat as champions of the AL West.
This is tied for the second biggest drop in wins by a repeat division winner in MLB history (excluding shortened seasons).
The 1999 New York Yankees went 98-64, repeating as AL East Champs while losing 16 more games than the 1998 Yankees, who went 114-48.
The 2006 St. Louis Cardinals went 83-78, repeating as NL Central Champs while losing 17 more games than the 2005 Cardinals, who went 100-62.
Good news for the Astros: both of those teams went on to win the World Series.

The Netherlands have participated in 34 European Baseball Championship tournaments, dating back to 1956. This was their first time missing out on the gold medal game.
Spain defeated the Netherlands 7-6 in the semis (after trailing 3-6 in the 8th and 5-6 in the 9th); the Dutch went on to win bronze after four consecutive golds and 33 straight final appearances (gold or silver).
In the 33 other times they participated in the tourney, they were 24-9 in the finals, with all nine losses to Italy. This was quite the historic event in European baseball, with Spain taking home their second ever gold, the other being in 1955 – before the Dutch debuted in the competition.

The Minnesota Twins had the third most home runs in the MLB season with 223. Not a single hitter had 30 Homerun
The team leader in homeruns? Max Kepler with just 24 homeruns.
He also led the team in RBIs with 66
Only two other players on the team had 20, those being Joey Gallo, who got hurt, and Michael A Taylor.
Royce Lewis, had he been healthy, was on pace for about 40 Homeruns and 150 RBIs
Congrats to the Oakland A’s 2023 wins leader checks notes Shintaro Fujinami
He ties teammate JP Sears as the team leader with 5 wins, which is the fewest wins to lead a team in MLB history. His 49.1 IP is also the second fewest for a team leader after Daniel Hudson, who lead the Blue Jays with 6 wins in 48 IP in 2019.

After posting two solid seasons back to back and improving defensively, is it fair to say Contreras is becoming one of the more underrated players in the league right now?

Javier Baez had the lowest strikeout percentage of his career this season. He swung at less pitches outside the zone than he did last year. He also had the worst season of his career
Just kind of an interesting thing to look at. He made more contact with the pitches outside of the zone that he did swing at. He was probably a little bit unlucky on the whole, not enough that he would have even been an average hitter, but he could have at least been just below average instead of a disaster. He had no power at all, maybe a result of pulling the ball less and hitting it to the center of the stadium more.

Yankees narrowly averted a sub-0.500 finish
Boston collapsed to finish the season
AL Central
Twins continued moving up
Tigers pounced and stole second from the Guardians
White Sox had an incredibly consistent decline in the second half
Royals had a small rebound near the end
AL West
Astros take the division with a tiebreaker over the Rangers, while the Mariners just couldn't keep it together after the massive winning streak
Angel's and A's keep slipping away
NL East
Braves dominated as usual, while the Phillies phought their way into WC1 and the Marlins used timely hitting to take WC3
Mets were a a disappointment, never recovering after a slide around game 60, while the Nats showed some signs of life
NL Central
All of the teams but the Cardinals made some noise during the season, but the Brewers ended up running away with the division as the Cubs faltered and the Reds never got back to +10 after game 108
NL West
Dodgers did it again, while the Diamondbacks did their best to give away a WC slot at the end. Padres put it together in the last month. The Giants are moving south to a nursing home, and the Rockies continue to subduct
Second Half Runs Scored vs Runs Allowed
Brewers had insanely good second half pitching
Bats stayed alive for the Braves, Astros, Dodgers, Twins (?!) and Cubs
Giants forgot how to hit. They were literally worse than the A's after the all-star break in that regard
Dodgers were the best and the White Sox were the worst teams after the ASB
All playoff hunt teams aside from the Marlins and Diamondbacks were above the 0.500 stripe
Notable hot-half teams: Padres, Tigers
Notable second-half stinkers: Giants, Yankees
Clutch award - most come-from-behind wins
Reds, Giants, Guardians, and Nationals stand out as scrappy teams who did not make the playoffs. Braves had a 20% come-from-behind rate
Manfred Award - Best record in extra-innings games
Giants were +6
Mariners were -8 and Padres were -10
Closing Award - the ability to stay on top
Most teams rarely relinquish a lead, with the Rays unsurprisingly at the top
Rockies blew leads and lost 22% of the time
Torture Award - Record in 1-run games
Marlins were +21 in 1-run games, soundly beating the Orioles who were +14
Reds had the most such games with 63 of them in total
Padres again rank last in this metric, going 9 and 23
Least Consistent Teams - the teams with the most variation over the season
Longest squiggles - the longest stretches of WLWLWL
Pirates had a streak of 9
Brewers and Padres had a streak of 8
The 3 most average teams - lease time spent from 0.500
They're all very red this year
Boston was had the fewest net games from 0.500 in the end
The 3 most consistent teams - Orioles were pretty consistent in winning, Twins had a small variation, and Guardians had that very slow painful ramp down
Whole NL
Whole AL
Runs Scored vs Runs Allowed - full season
Diamondbacks were the most average team
Marlins outperformed their expected record thanks to an amazing 1-run game record
Braves had the best record
Yandy Diaz in 2023: .330/.410./522, 22 home runs, 4.7 WAR, 164 wRC+ (leads all first basemen in MLB)
Unfortunately I think the 1st base penalty and baserunning penalty to his WAR will probably rob him of 3rd in the MVP race, but what an absolutely insane season for the batting champ. With how insane Olson and Freeman were this year, it's awesome to see that he kept up with them offensively.

Kyle Schwarber’s record breaking stats this year.
Schwarber has put up a stat line of 47 HR .197 AVG 215 K’s. He has the worst average for a player with 30 home runs in a seasons let alone 47.
He also was only 9 strikeouts away from breaking Mark Reynolds’s record of 223 strikeouts in a season. Despite this he is a lead off hitter, why? He has hit 14 home runs in the first inning this year with a .647 slugging percentage and .1029 OPS. That’s the 7th most home runs in the first inning in a season by a player and most by a lead off hitter.

#BlueJays ⚾️🧵Wild Card Round
Deep Dive on the Twins
((Gausman vs Twins deep dive tomorrow AM))
Included tonight:
*Pablo Lopez, Edouard Julien, Carlos Correa, the Twins catchers & some defenders who can be exploited...
Let's start here: Pablo Lopez & righty-righty changeups.
225
Over last 2 seasons, only 2 pitchers have thrown more RR changeups than Lopez. But, as video above shows, Jays do well on these pitches (MLB-high .510 slug).
They like to let the ball travel, get deep, etc...
If he throws one at the wrong time to the wrong guy... see ya.
Next: Edouard Julien.
An amazingly patient hitter.
Here's a super stat: He's seen 35 pitches from Kevin Gausman this year, and swung at 5 (reaching base 4/6 times)
Insane.
(again, more on Gausman vs Twins tomorrow AM)
Keeping this guy off base this week will be a challenge.
Next: Carlos Correa.
He's done some damage against the Jays this year, but I'd argue they didn't attack his biggest weakness enough: Fastballs.
Correa ranks ~200th out of 214 hitters in run value vs fastballs, but the Jays only threw him 33% fastballs during the regular season, and he did damage on breakers/offspeed.
As a counter example: Seattle held him to a sub-180 batting average while throwing close to 60% heaters.
I think Correa has lost bat speed, and can't turn on good, inside fastballs anymore. Jays should be in his kitchen all day.
Next: Catchers.
I'd be shocked if it's not Vazquez behind the plate. Jeffers mashes, but man, he's not great defensively.
Jeffers is a big guy (6'4, 235) who grades out as a very poor blocker. Jays baserunners need to be engaged if he's behind the plate, ready to take an extra base.
Jeffers also grades out poorly framing, earning about 4% fewer strikes on borderline pitches comp to Vazquez.
My guess: Vazquez starts & Jeffers ready to pinch hit later. If Twins lose Game 1, my guess is Jeffers would start Game 2.
Speaking of Vazquez, he's one of only, maybe 3 hitters I'd be ok with seeing Gausman throw a slider to.
Vazquez & Michael Taylor are really bad vs spin.
Next: While Taylor is an elite defender & Twins are a top 10 defence overall, they have some weak spots, including Max Kepler's arm.
Kepler is a pretty good fielder, but his arm can be exploited.
If Jays hit anything to RF, they need to be thinking extra bases out of the box.
Next: Infield D... Correa isn't nearly the fielder he once was & likely starting first baseman Alex Kirilloff grades out as one of the poorest defensive 1st basemen in MLB.
Jays hitters need to put pressure on MIN infielders by running hard out of the box on any non-routine play
I'd love to see Varsho try one of his pull-bunts towards 1B/2B and put some pressure on the Minny defence.
Hope you enjoyed the deep dive.
Looking into Twins' approach vs Gausman tomorrow morning. Peace.

Among the players with lockers today in the #BlueJays’ clubhouse (many of whom will be with the club as extra options in case of injury):
Bowden Francis, Nathan Lukes, Ernie Clement, Jay Jackson.

Add Spencer Horwitz to that list, too.
It makes sense to have some extra padding at each position that wouldn’t need to hop a flight in case of an injury. #BlueJays

Royce Lewis still sounded uncertain of his readiness for tomorrow. Said he still hasn’t run at 100%. Has improved bit by bit but still no breakthrough. He still needs to see how he feels today and tomorrow.

Jays Care Auction Ball Arrived
After Roberto Alomar stole third base with none out, on the next pitch, Joe Carter drove him in with a walk-off single to clinch the AL East title for the Blue Jays, as they beat the California Angels 6-5. The same night, the Jays became the first MLB team to draw four million fans in one season. (October 2, 1991 at SkyDome.)

too bad Liverpool is getting nowhere here
nothing happening with Howard Webb or the VAR guy (Darren England) even though England showed some absolute inability to listen to a head person in the audio
Liverpool also lost the red card appeal on Jones so he's gone 💀
Derek Carr has started 146 regular season games in his career. His team has scored 20 points or fewer in half of those starts. The 21.4 ppg scored by Carr's teams in his starts rank 28th out of 29 QBs w/ 75+ starts the past 15 seasons (ahead of only Sam Bradford)
Sources: Matt Canada will remain the offensive play caller Sunday vs the Ravens.
There were no changes to the offensive hierarchy today.

this quote is out of context. He was saying players win games, not coaches. Explaining that even good coaches with average players can't overcome the average players in relation to DaBoll and the Giants
Patriots’ standout pass rusher Matthew Judon will undergo surgery on his torn bicep Wednesday, per source. He wants to try to come back to play again this year, but there are questions about whether he can or will. Either way he’s out indefinitely.

If you feel like the games haven't been great this year, you are correct! This is the most blowouts (20+ point wins) the NFL's seen through 4 weeks since 2014
Last time we had this many blowouts, your rookies of the year were Odell Beckham and Aaron Donald. Drew Brees led the league in passing yards, DeMarco Murray led the league in rushing, and Mr. Big Chest himself was 1st in receiving.
Throughout this season, Cleveland fans had heard whispers and anecdotes of former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll’s rough, and perhaps extreme, [...]
Quincy Williams led all NFL linebackers with 6 run stops in Week 4.
He ranks as PFF’s third-best LB in the NFL and remains their best coverage LB with a 90.2 grade.
He’s having an All-Pro season.
