Happy Game 162 Day to all that celebrate theanalyst.com/podcast/midni… #RaysUp

Midnight at the Trop | Game 162 | Podcast | Opta Analyst

You're unlikely to win an argument against Sept. 28, 2011 being one of the most momentous days in baseball history: the infamous Game 162.

I may be off by a few feet as exact layouts aren't known yet, but going strictly from the artist renderings we've seen, I had to swing over to HCC and stand at the near exact spot where home plate will be set at the new Rays stadium. It should be roughly right here.

Delighted to overhear ITV using Meat Loaf's Out of the Frying Pan and Into the Fire over the half-time goal highlights.

It's likely a sign of how competitive the Premier League is, but there have been just six games won by at least a four-goal margin this season. Two seasons ago, there were 33. I've looked deeper into the great thrashing drought of 2025-26. theanalyst.com/articles/prem…

Where Have All the Thrashings Gone? We Are Seeing Fewer Big Wins in the Premier League in 2025-26 |...

There have been only six games in the Premier League this season in which a team has won by at least four goals. So, where have our thrashings gone?
