Isn't DET's magic #1? If MIN and DET win, do they play the tiebreaker in MIN, or must MIN win and DET lose?

They are tied for 1st at the moment. If one team loses, they are out (unless they both lose). If they both win then there is a one game playoff in MIN on Tuesday.

And while I'm on a score-update binge... lol

Ravens down 17-7 with 1:15 left in the 1st half. (And an interception will keep it that way going into the half).

Redskins down 10-0 at the start of the 3rd quarter.

edit: Campbell 6/14, 62 yards, 2 picks... wow

Mid game from Roch:

Melvin Mora is 0-for-2 in his last game for the Orioles. He fully expects to test the free-agent waters this winter - baseball's version of the polar bear plunge - and hopes to join a contender. It would also benefit him to stay near his Harford County home.

Manager Dave Trembley hinted that he might do something special for the veteran. I'm predicting that Mora comes out of the game in the middle of an inning, so fans can give him a final ovation.

"I've thought about it," Trembley said. "We'll let the game play out and see what we can do and afford him some common courtesy.

"His numbers have proven and will speak for themselves that he will go down as one of the top Orioles third basemen of all time."

      Jalen Vazquez 2024

      I like Vazquez a little bit. I don't know how much he will hit at the upper levels, but he controls the strike zone, can run a bit, and is a good defender. He's got a utility player ceiling but for a 30K 20th round pick, he looks like a very nice org guy at the very least.

      Draft Day Bloopers

      Well, he has hasn't done anything at the major league level yet and he still has defensive issues so we don't know whether he was a good 2nd round pick or not.  I think the bat is going to play at the major league level, but I see him more as a major league regular bat, with sketchy defensive traits until he can master corner outfield. But really my comment was more on the philosophy more than anything else. Looking at that draft, there's not a lot of guys who have made it to the majors or produced much in that 3-5 rounds yet.   It's hard to find signable high school talent after the first couple of rounds unless a team can go overslot, especially now that these top players can make pretty good NIL money in college. They know they ca have a good college experience, and play in front of packed crowds for the top programs, rather than taking long bus rides to Savannah, GA to play in front of 700 people on a Tuesday night.  So we're seeing a lot more college heavy drafts. Darrel Hernaiz is the only high school drafted player outside of the first round that has made the majors from an Elias draft.  Now Mayo should be the second, but he of course was a COVID draft overslot.

      Whenever I get excited about the first two starts a pitcher has, I just remember Mike Wright, who pitched two seven inning shutouts out of the gate.

      This reminded me of, in the 90’s, anecdotally, every year, Mussina would have at least one outing where he’d just get absolutely SHELLED.

      If he throws that many hittable pitches in the heart of the plate against the Yankees (or any Major League team for that matter) he is likely to get a similar result.

      Nick Pollack's write up mentioned the BABIP, though certainly watching that performance it was the kind of performance to make you think Voros McCracken and DIPS theory is hokum. I don't think it was random variation getting pummeled there last night.     Hopefully the Angels didn't find any cues the Yankees might also be able to benefit from.
