— Tampa Bay Rays have 17 sacrifice bunts so far this year, most in the big leagues.

— Detroit Tigers have 17 players on the injured list, which seems like a lot.

— NFL schedule gets released Thursday night; they leak some games out early. Here is what I know right now:

Week 1 (Thursday)- Rams vs 49ers, in Australia

(Sunday night)- Cowboys @ Giants

(Monday)- Chiefs vs Broncos

Week 2 (Thursday)- Lions @ Bills (Bills open their new stadium)

Thanksgiving Day- Eagles @ Cowboys

— RIP Craig Morton, a QB who played 18 years in the NFL, mostly with Denver/Dallas. He was 83. Morton had a 81-62-1 career record as an NFL starter, 5-5 in playoff games.
Morton was first QB to start a Super Bowl for more than one team; he started for the Cowboys in Super Bowl V, Broncos in Super Bowl XII. He was a backup on the Dallas team that won Super Bowl VI.
He was elected into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1992.
RIP, sir.

— Ohio State football coach Ryan Day played college ball at New Hampshire, where his coach was Chip Kelly, who went to be a head coach in the NFL and college ball. Ryan Day was a QB who set four school records at UNH.
Fast forward to this year; Ryan Day’s son RJ committed to play college ball at Northwestern this week, where his offensive coordinator will be…..Chip Kelly.

Odd fact I had no idea about until this week: Remember the old movie The Bad News Bears, with Walter Matthau’s character coaching a bunch of kids in Little League??
Funny movie; turns out it was written by Bill Lancaster, whose father was the great actor Burt Lancaster, who won an Oscar and a Golden Globe award.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Braves, Cubs, Padres. Wild Cards: Brewers, Dodgers, Cardinals
AL: Rays, Guardians, A’s. Wild Cards: Bronx, Mariners, White Sox

— Until 1967, the NHL was a six-team league, then for the 1967-68 season, the league doubled to 12 teams, with the six expansion teams making up the West Division, the Original Six teams were the East Division.
That first year, none of the expansion teams were over .500; Philadelphia Flyers beat out the LA Kings by a point in the regular season, but the 3rd-place St Louis Blues advanced through to the NHL Finals, where they got swept four straight by Montreal.
In fact, St Louis made it to the NHL Finals the first three years they existed, but went 0-12 in those three Finals series, losing to Montreal twice and Boston Bruins in 1970.

— The season before, the last time the NHL was a six-team league, Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup. They haven’t won it since.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Braves, Cubs, Padres. Wild Cards: Brewers, Dodgers, Cardinals
AL: Rays, Guardians, A’s. Wild Cards: Bronx, Rangers, White Sox

Saturday’s Den: Random things with the weekend here…….

— 11 years ago today my dad passed away, a very cruddy night. My dad was a great guy; honest, fair, the best father a kid could have.
He grew up in New York City but wound up in Albany; he loved the Brooklyn Dodgers, so I learned at a very young age never to say the name “O’Malley” (they moved the Dodgers out of Brooklyn). He was a big fan of the Mets/Knicks, loved playing golf, and enjoyed going to the horse races at Saratoga.
We miss him every day, that’s for sure.

— Phillies 11, Pirates 9 (10)
Pittsburgh led 8-3 in the 7th inning.
Phillies scored three runs in the 9th, three more in the 10th.
Phillies are 13-4 in their last seventeen games.

Mike Yastrzemski had a walk-off single against team his Hall of Famer grandfather starred for.
Braves are 15-7 at home; they’ve won five of last six games.
Drake Baldwin/Michael Harris both homered for Atlanta.

— Nationals 3, Orioles 2
Zach little tossed five shutout IP for Washington.
Daylen Lile homered for the 4th time in his last four games.
Sellout crowd of 38,912 watched this game; it was also Hot Dog Night.

Ben Rice was 3-for-5, hit his 14th homer, scored two runs.
Mets P Holmes broke a shinbone when hit by a line drive in 4th inning.
Juan Soto hit his 250th career home run.

Spencer Arrighetti took a no-hitter into the 8th inning.
Isaac Paredes homered for the Astros.
Corey Seager, mired in a 6-for-62 slump, was given a mental health day off.

— When the Orioles won 7-0 Wednesday night, it was their first shutout of the year. They had been the only team not to post a shutout this season.

— Back in 2012, there was a high school baseball team in Los Angeles that had a pretty good pitching stuff. Jack Flaherty, Max Fried, Lucas Giolito were all on the same team, three freakin’ major leaguers on the same high school team.

— Shohei Ohtani has been slumping at the plate; he didn’t hit when he pitched Wednesday, then he didn’t hit or pitch Thursday, took the whole night off. He was 1-for-4 with a walk in Friday’s 6-0 win over the Angels in Anaheim.

— Hitting is more difficult now:
When Roger Maris 61 home runs in 1961, he only played against nine other teams, faced only 101 pitchers that season.
When Aaron Judge hit 62 home runs in 2022, he played against 20 different teams, faced a total of 256 pitchers that season.

— There are ten new head coaches in the NFL this coming season; that’s a lot.

— Week 1 NFL spreads:

Patriots @ Seattle (-3.5)
