Since 1998, fewest wins in baseball playoff games:
2— Reds
3— Pirates
6— Orioles
9— Rockies, Twins
10— Blue Jays
11— Mariners
Quote of the Day
“Pleased with Shedeur (Sanders), pleased with the offense. Again, not perfect. Plenty that we can work on. But I thought the guys did a really nice job of Shedeur operating, the guys making plays. So, again, a ton to teach on.”
Cleveland Browns coach Kevin Stefanski, after the Browns’ 30-10 win at Carolina
Saturday’s quiz
In the movie For Love of the Game, Kevin Costner is a great pitcher who throws a perfect game in his last career start. What number did Costner’s character wear in the movie?
Friday’s quiz
Evan Longoria is the all-time leader in home runs for the Tampa Bay Rays.
Thursday’s quiz
Tennessee Titans lost their only Super Bowl appearance after the 1999 season; Steve McNair was their quarterback in that game.
***********************************************
When does Williams pitch again? He threw 126 pitches on Wednesday, Cleveland is off Monday. Will be interesting to see if they give him an extra day of rest and have him pitch Wednesday.

Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here…….
— Cleveland P Gavin Williams almost pitched a no-hitter this week; he threw 126 pitches, came up one out short. Guardians are contending for a playoff spot; in this day and age, is it smart to let your ace throw 126 pitches in a game they led 4-0?When does Williams pitch again? He threw 126 pitches on Wednesday, Cleveland is off Monday. Will be interesting to see if they give him an extra day of rest and have him pitch Wednesday.
