Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……..
— Former big league pitcher Ryan Dempster is running in his first Boston Marathon Monday morning; so is Justin Turner’s wife. I admire their stamina to run 26 miles, all at once.
Me? I get tired driving 26 miles, I start looking for a Wendy’s or a Dunkin’ Donuts. While I admire someone who runs that far, part of me says it just ain’t that healthy a thing to do.
First person that ever ran a marathon, as in ever, was a guy named Pheidippides who dropped dead after he ran 26 miles to deliver a message about the Athenians defeating the Persians in a military battle. This result was a big upset, but Pheidippides should have sent a text, or posted the result on Twitter, or whatever they did in 490 BC, when this supposedly happened.
2,513 years later, people still run marathons, and I’m not sure why. Sitting on the couch is a lot more fun.
— Kings 126, Warriors 123— Sacramento’s first playoff game in 18 years was a big success; De’Aaron Fox scored 38 points, the four Kings’ subs were a combined +31.
Golden State shot 27-40 inside the arc (67.5%), 16-50 on the arc. Steph Curry scored 30 points; Warriors were minus-14 in the 11:00 he was off the floor.
— Knicks 101, Cavaliers 97— First time the Knicks won Game 1 of a series on the road since 1999 against Indiana. Four New York subs were a combined +44; Josh Hart scored 17 points, grabbed 10 rebounds.
— Celtics 112, Hawks 99— Boston led 74-44 at halftime, coasted home from there; Hawks were 5-29 on the arc. Hopefully Game 2 will be more entertaining.
Atlanta’s Trae Young is now 8 for his last 49 on the arc in playoff games. No bueno.
— 76ers 121, Nets 101— Philly was 21-43 on the arc, most 3’s they’ve ever made in a playoff game. Harden scored 23 points, dished out 13 assists.
— Utah Jazz/All-Star forward Lauri Markkanen is going to fulfill his mandatory service in the Finnish military this offseason; military service is mandatory for male citizens of Finland and must be finished by age 30. Markkanen is 25.
— Virginia/Memphis scheduled a home/home college basketball series for the next two years, an interesting contrast in styles.
— Fernando Tatis Jr will be back with the San Diego Padres Thursday, when his 20-game suspension ends. He is expected to bat leadoff for the Friars.
— Los Angeles Angels called up SS prospect Zach Neto from the AA Southern League, even though he’s only played in 37 games at the AA level. He was the Angels’ first round pick in last summer’s draft. Nets went 0-4 in his big league debut Saturday, at Fenway Park.
— Tigers 7, Giants 6 (11)— San Francisco led 6-1 after four innings; Miguel Cabrera’s walk-off, pinch-hit single was his 16th walk-off hit, his 3,095th career hit.
— White Sox 7, Orioles 6 (10)— Grandal tied game with a 10th inning double, Colas walked it off with a single.
It turns out that Orioles’ catcher Adley Rutschman was briefly a left-footed kicker in college at Oregon State; there is film of him tackling Christian McCaffrey during an OSU-Stanford game.
— Pirates 6, Cardinals 3 (10)— Pittsburgh is off to a surprising 9-6 start; Rodolfo Castro was 3-5, knocked in two runs in this game. Cardinals have stumbled out of the gate with a 6-9 record.
— Dodgers 2, Cubs 1— Chicago led 1-0 in ninth inning; David Peralta’s 2-run single sent the Dodger fans home happy.
— In an act of extreme arrogance, the Mets won’t start Max Scherzer in Oakland today; he’s going to start against the Dodgers Wednesday instead. The party line was that Scherzer has some injury that will miraculously heal by Wednesday.
Instead, some minor leaguer who gave up 7 runs in four innings in his only major league start last year will start for the Mets against the 3-12 A’s, who are a terrible team, a team that should still lose, even to a minor league pitcher.
