Re: EW 2531 I think intra-division matchups in Sept are a stronger driver of attendance than more playoff spots. That said, expand to 32 and we no longer need constant interleague. Bring back late Sept rivalry weeks. @benlindbergh.bsky.social @jazayerli.bsky.social @sheehannewsletter.bsky.social

Unlikely, but if… * White Sox lose all 6 (Royals, Rockies) * Rangers lose 4 of 6 (Mets, Twins) * Astros lose 3 of 6 (M's, A's) * Blue Jays lose 3 of 6 (O's, Reds) * O's lose 1 of 6 (Blue Jays, Yankees) …two sub-.500 teams would make the playoffs.

#Braves hold tiebreaker over Dodgers and Phillies, tied with Brewers. Next tiebreaker is intradivision record. Braves: 30-16 vs NL East, 6 left Brewers: 26-15 vs NL Central, 11 left Braves magic number over Brewers is 8, maybe 7 since Braves hold next tiebreaker: intraleague W-L, 62-39 to 59-40.

@benlindbergh.bsky.social Open-Shut for a leadoff/walkoff homer in one game. For biblical proportions, Alpha-Omega implied something like Opening Day leadoff and Game 162 (or playoff Game 1/final game) walkoffs, or at least something not contained by something as biblically small as a single game.

Ronald Acuña Jr. is the 19th player ever to collect 200+ home runs and 200+ stolen bases for an MLB team. Four of those players are active: Acuña (Braves) José Ramírez (Guardians) Jose Altuve (Astros) Mike Trout (Angels) Acuña and Henry Aaron are the only players to do it for the Braves.

8 active pitchers have 2000+ career innings. If you remove the elder statesmen Verlander and Scherzer (who have 3000+), the other six range from 2052 IP to 2228 IP, which is excellent for comparability. Good thing @stathead.com has a comparison tool (Versus Finder) that fits up to six players...
