Wednesday’s quiz

*********************

Friday’s Den: Random stuff with weekend here……..

13) Got a pleasant surprise Thursday; doorbell rang about 5:00, the UPS guy left a package on my stoop. I was a little confused, since I hadn’t ordered anything. It was a book, The Baseball 100, written by the great writer Joe Posnanski.

I had previously considered buying this book; for a second, thought I was going senile and forgot ordering it, but turns out a buddy bought it for me as a gift. Much appreciated; over the coming weeks/months, knowledge from this book will undoubtedly find its way into this space.

12) Baseball season is only eight days old, and I’m already annoyed with the Miami Marlins:
— Exhibit A: Monday night, Marlins/Angels are tied in 9th inning. Angels have winning run on second, no one out. Marlins throw a wild pitch, so now, game-ending run is on third with no one out and a 2-0 count on the hitter.

At this point, the defensive team is supposed to walk the next two hitters, set up a force at any base, and try to weasel their way out of the jam. But no, Miami pitches to the guy at the plate, who singles up the middle on the first pitch. Game over.

Reasons this annoys me:
a) It is the wrong thing to do
b) If they walk the batter and then the on-deck hitter to load the bases, the on-deck hitter was Jared Walsh, who is on my fantasy team. On-base %age is a close category this week; need all the help I can get.

— Exhibit B: Thursday night, Sandy Alcantara is pitching (Marlins’ ace and my fantasy team’s ace) They shift against Didi Gregorius like he is Ty Cobb or Roy freakin’ Hobbs; the guy was hitting .158, so of course he lays down a bunt for a leadoff single. Why give the guy a hit?

Looking forward to a shift-less 2023.

11) A’s 6, Rays 3:
— Tampa Bay has pitching issues; they’ve played seven games, their starting pitchers have logged a total of 19.1 innings, roughly 8 outs per game. This is not sustainable over 162 games.
— A’s already have five home runs with either 2 or 3 men on base; all last season, Oakland hit only 13 three-run homers, so a positive development there.

10) In 88 games so far this baseball season, only 23 out of a possible 198 starting pitchers have:
a) pitched 6+ innings
b) allowed 3 or fewer runs

9) Wednesday in Detroit, Boston’s Nathan Eovaldi threw 101 pitches, the first pitcher in the majors this season to throw 100+ pitches in a game.

8) Brewers 5, Cardinals 1:
— Milwaukee is in the 414 area code; Brewers’ home opener started at 4:14 local time
— Woodruff tossed five scoreless IP for the Brew Crew.
— Omar Narvaez hit his first homer this season.

7) Over/under in baseball so far this season: Under 55-38-7

6) Couple of guys got paid Thursday:
— Cleveland gave OF Myles Straw five years, $25M
— Pittsburgh gave OF Bryan Reynolds two years, $13.5M

5) Rangers 10, Angels 5:
— As a pitcher, Shohei Ohtani is 5-5, 5.83 in 17 road starts; he is 8-2, 2.18 in 20 home starts.
— Rangers have scored 38 runs in six games, but they’re only 2-4.

4) Padres 12, Braves 1:
— Manny Machado went 5-6, scored four runs, knocked in two.
— Eric Hosmer went 4-5 with two doubles.
— Atlanta has given up 49 runs in eight games. Not good.

3) Dodgers 9, Reds 3:
— Dodgers led 3-0 in first inning, Reds tied game in 7th.
— Trea Turner’s opposite-field single put Dodgers ahead to stay in bottom of 8th.
— Will Smith’s 3-run homer provided some insurance.

2) Detroit Mercy star Antoine Davis entered the transfer portal this week; kid was #3 scorer in country last year, shooting 37.9% on the arc. Weird thing about this is that Davis’ father is the Detroit Mercy coach; Titans were only 34-35 in Horizon games with the younger Davis playing, going to be lot harder to win without him.

1) I’m lucky in many ways, one of which is that the Baseball Hall of Fame is only 80 miles from my house; I’ve been there a few times, excellent place. Have been to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Ohio twice, in 2001/2017; if you get the chance to go to either/both of these places, you should. So much history, museums with fun stuff in them.

*******************************

Saturday’s Den: Random baseball trivia……

13) Pitching has certainly changed a lot; from 1952-55, Robin Roberts started 154 games; he finished 118 of them, going 97-52 in those four seasons. 154 starts in four years is 38.5/year; most anyone would start now is probably 32 or so.

12) In his Hall of Fame career, Tony Gwynn was intentionally walked 203 times; he hit only 135 home runs.

11) Pretty sure I underestimated how productive Frank Thomas was in his career; seven years in a row, he walked 100+ times, scored 100+ runs, knocked in 100+ runs, hit .300+.

10) Mike Mussina took five no-hitters into the 8th inning, but never threw a no-hitter. Too bad he wasn’t around for the 7-inning games in doubleheaders couple years ago.

9) Ichiro Suzuki is the only player ever with 200+ singles in a season; he did it twice. Ichiro led the American League in singles ten years in a row.

8) There are seven father/son combinations in MLB history, where both father/son made an All-Star team and father/son played the same position.

7) Hall of Famer Larry Walker was a hockey goalie growing up in Canada; one of his teammates was NHL great Cam Neely. Walker has three brothers: Barry, Carey, Gary. His parents must have a good sense of humor.

6) Tris Speaker was a centerfielder who, in his career, pulled off six unassisted double plays. Not sure how an outfielder did that, but he did.

5) In 1947, Johnny Mize hit 51 homers, struck out only 42 times; I’m guessing he never heard of the term “launch angle”.

4) Of all the players since 1961 who had 3,000+ plate appearances, these players had the best batting averages:
.338 Tony Gwynn
.331 Roberto Clemente
.328 Wade Boggs

3) In 2015, Max Scherzer came pretty close to Johnny Vander Meer territory; he threw a 1-hit shutout, giving up a 7th inning single. His next start, he threw a no-hitter, the only baserunner a hit batsman with two out in the 9th inning.

2) Remember Phil Niekro, the great knuckleball pitcher? Turns out one of his childhood friends was NBA great John Havlicek, who apparently wasn’t very good at catching knuckleballs.

1) Three guys who today might have been passed over in the amateur draft:
1,390th pick— Mike Piazza
574th pick— John Smoltz
511th pick— Ryne Sandberg

Going forward, amateur draft will only be 20 rounds; scouting becomes even more important now, to find the kids who fall through the cracks.

Teams who have scored the most runs:
50— Oakland
48— Cleveland
46— NY Mets, Texas
45— Atlanta
43— San Diego
42— LA Dodgers, Colorado

Quote of the Day
“You have no choices about how you lose, but you do have a choice about how you come back and prepare to win again.”
Pat Riley

Sunday’s quiz
Who was the star of the 60’s TV comedy, The Flying Nun?

Saturday’s quiz
Cooper Kupp played his college football at I-AA Eastern Washington.

Friday’s quiz
Jack McKeon, Jim Leyland are the managers who led the Marlins to their two World Series titles.

****************************

Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

13) Bottom of 4th inning Friday night, Texas leads Angels 3-2; Rangers have bases loaded, one out and Corey Seager up. Angels have a relief pitcher in who they can’t take out; they freakin’ give Seager an intentional walk, giving Texas another run. Next guy hit a sac fly, making score 5-2. People on Twitter were either astonished, furious or calling for Maddon’s ouster.

They walked a guy intentionally with the bases loaded in the 4th inning. It was April 15; if you think the pitcher has any ability, don’t you have to find out if he can get Seager out there? If he doesn’t have any ability, why is he in the game?

If you owned the Angels, would you give Maddon a call to see if he’s feeling OK? Angels won the game 9-6, but sometimes I think Maddon does weird things, just because he can.

12) NBA regular season scoring vs playoff scoring:
2017-18: 212.7 vs 208.9
2018-19: 222.4 vs 215.4
2019-20: 223.6 vs 219.1
2020-21: 224.2 vs 220.6

In the playoffs, playing 7-game series, teams are more familiar with each other; games are also more intense, more physical. Ergo, lower scoring games.

11) Is the key to winning the AL East beating up on the Orioles?
From 2020-22, teams’ record vs Baltimore:
— Tampa Bay 27-5 (.844)
— Toronto 22-7 (.759)
— Boston 18-11 (.621)
— New York 19-12 (.613)

By the way, moving the fence back in leftfield has drastically changed Camden Yards; much less of a hitter’s park now. Baltimore has some promising pitching prospects coming up the chain in their farm system. Hard to develop young pitchers when you play in a bandbox.

10) Last time the Green Bay Packers drafted a RB, WR or TE in the first round? 2002.

Packers signed veteran WR Sammy Watkins this week; Watkins has started 10 games in a season twice in the last six years. Last year, he caught 27 balls for 394 yards for Baltimore.

9) Russell Wilson plays QB for the Broncos now; Quarterbacks make a boatload of $$$. Wilson and his wife just bought a $25M house in the Denver area, complete with a nine-car garage. You know you’re rich when you live in a house with a nine-car garage.

8) Orioles/Reds are only teams in the major leagues that haven’t scored in the first inning.

7) Minnesota Twins’ pitcher Joe Ryan’s first seven MLB starts:
— 2.70 ERA
— 0.87 WHIP
— .176 batting average
— 41 K’s in 36.2 IP

6) Arizona P Zac Gallen is pretty good; he is the only pitcher I’ve ever seen go to an index card in his back pocket, while he’s on the mound. I’m guessing there are catcher’s signals on the card, or sign sequences, but I’ve never seen anyone else do it.

5) Louisville’s new basketball coach Kenny Payne has signed Nolan Smith, Danny Manning as assistants; his coaching staff might wind up being the best playing staff in the country.

4) Harold Varner III leads the PGA golf tournament in Hilton Head by a stroke; last 23 times a guy led by a stroke after three rounds, he only won the tournament twice. Since 2010, the %age is 30.2%.

3) Baseball stuff:
— Astros put closer Ryan Pressly on the IL
— Mariners put OF Mitch Haniger on the IL
— Orioles put P John Means on the IL
— Tigers put IF Javier Baez on the IL.

2) Friday afternoon, turned my TV on to watch some baseball, and the Extra Innings package is kaput. Nada. Nothing. Bupkus. Called DirecTV’s help desk; they said to be patient, the problem would be fixed later. They didn’t say how much later.

Five hours later, called them again; after waiting on hold for 50 minutes, I was going to unplug the receiver (again) but then the games suddenly appeared on my screen. Problem solved.

1) DirecTV’s help desk is in the Philippines, by the way.
