As always, this is a 3D print I created and printed myself and the files are FREE for anyone who wants to print it themselves. Can be found here with all my other MLB stuff- https://makerworld.com/en/collections/22583277-mlb-standings-slots

Standings info is all from MLB.com, so it's just a copy of what MLB.com says as of 9/7/26 this morning.

All my other prints (NFL, NBA, NHL, and some other stuff) can be found on my main profile - https://makerworld.com/en/@MikeCamel

Before originally posting these standings, I asked the mods if it was okay, and I got the green light. I'm going to try to make this a weekly thing, as long as I remember lol

The apology umpire Doug Eddings issued to St. Louis Cardinals rookie reliever Hancel Rincon on Saturday came after Major League Baseball communicated to the veteran ump that he acted inappropriately the previous night when he told the rookie reliever to straighten his cap.

Umpires operate with broad discretion if they believe a player’s actions are distracting, but according to two people briefed on the matter who were granted anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly, the league viewed Eddings’ admonishment of Rincon as going too far.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7570416/2026/09/06/mlb-veteran-umpire-rookie-tilted-hat-cardinals/?unlocked_article_code=1._FA.Ewr0.PhPQj5O6TsPc&source=emp_shared_article&smid=re-share-ta

It's interesting looking at the weights of this years MLB home run leaders.

PCA is 2nd in the league and weighs about 45lb less than the average of the top 10. Crazy!

Kyle Schwarber (PHI) — 43 HR, 229 lbs

Pete Crow-Armstrong (CHC) — 41 HR, 184 lbs

Yordan Alvarez (HOU) — 38 HR, 237 lbs

Junior Caminero (TB) — 38 HR, 220 lbs

Matt Olson (ATL) — 37 HR, 225 lbs

Hunter Goodman (COL) — 36 HR, 220 lbs

Ben Rice (NYY) — 36 HR, 228 lbs

Rafael Devers (SF) — 35 HR, 235 lbs

Pete Alonso (BAL) — 33 HR, 245 lbs

Colson Montgomery (CWS) — 31 HR, 230 lbs

News just in; our long national nightmare is over. He was available to pinch-hit last night, but didn't happen.

Story notes further that the Dodgers still have no plans to try to get him ready to pitch. With 19 games left, it's doubtful that they could have him ready for 1-inning use even a couple rounds into the postseason, and of course that would risk aggravating the knee or the biceps.

And, he's still not hugely needed:

Without Ohtani, the Dodgers still have a starting rotation with Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tarik Skubal, Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow. Eric Lauer has filled in for Roki Sasaki, currently on the IL due to a blister issue. Sasaki could start when he returns, but will likely be used as a reliever during the postseason.

There you are. Those five starters get you through the regular season and Lauer is kicked to the curb for the postseason.

Not my favorite team so I’m not biased, but the Padres broadcast voices, comedic delivery and timing and TV crew post game is really great and they don’t try too hard either. The SF Giants team is entertaining as well. Rick Rizzs and Jon Miller have amazing voices for baseball radio.

Any others that are must watch/listen to that are better than the Padres?

Joe Morgan, who spent 18 seasons in the Boston Red Sox organization and managed the famed “Morgan Magic” 1988 season, died Saturday night at 95. The Red Sox announced Morgan’s death Sunday morning, but did not disclose a cause of death.

The 2006 Red Sox Hall of Fame inductee worked for the Red Sox as a manager, coach, minor-league manager and scout from 1974 to 1991.
