Wednesday’s 6-pack
QB’s who have started for the Washington Commanders from 2020-22:
24 games— Taylor Heinicke
7— Carson Wentz
6— Dwayne Haskins, Alex Smith
4— Kyle Allen
1— Ryan Fitzpatrick
1— Garrett Gilbert
1— Sam Howell

Quote of the Day
“That’s the All-Star we know, and it was good to see. He came out with a purpose. There was just a different look in his eye.”
Donovan Mitchell, talking about Cavaliers’ teammate Darius Garland

Wednesday’s quiz
Who was the Pittsburgh Pirates’ manager, the last time they made the playoffs?

Tuesday’s quiz
Since 2020, Washington Commanders started eight quarterbacks, the most of any team.

Monday’s quiz
Stan Kroenke owns the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams; he also owns the NBA’s Denver Nuggets and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche.

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

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..

— Winnipeg 5, Vegas 1— Winnipeg Jets F Morgan Barron took a skate to his face in this game, requiring more than 75 stitches, but he returned to the ice less than a period later.

Hockey players are very tough people; the guy got 75 stitches, and was back on the ice playing about an hour later.

— Four NHL playoff series started Tuesday; the road team won all four.

— Cavaliers 107, Knicks 90 (series 1-1)
Cleveland outscored Knicks 34-17 in second quarter.
LeVert scored 24 points in 40:00, was +23; he didn’t start.

— Suns 123, Clippers 109 (series 1-1)
Game was tied at half; Phoenix outscored Clippers 64-50 in 2nd half.
Booker scored 38 points, dished out nine assists.

— Celtics 119, Hawks 106 (Boston leads 2-0)
Celtics shot 55% inside the arc.
Boston led 61-49 at halftime.
Atlanta’s four subs were a combined minus-54 in 77:00

— Dodgers 5, Mets 0
Clayton Kershaw gets his 200th major league win.
In his career, Kershaw is 11-0, 2.03 in 17 starts against the Mets.

— Tigers 4-1, Guardians 3-0— Detroit sweeps a doubleheader, allowing three runs; Carpenter hit a walk-off homer in the opener, Detroit’s third straight walk-off win. Last time the Tigers had three consecutive walk-off wins was 2004.

— Braves 8, Padres 1— San Diego has sold out 9 of its 12 home games, but the Padres stink right now- they’ve scored 3 or fewer runs in six of their last seven games, had a 25-inning scoreless streak that ended in this game.

Fernando Tatis returns from his suspension Thursday; they’re asking an awful lot of him to think his presence will revive an offense that is floundering badly.

— Brewers 6, Mariners 5 (11)— Seattle is 8-10 this year, 2-5 in one-run games; the last couple of years, Mariners were 67-41 in one-run games. Milwaukee is 13-5, two games ahead of the Cubs, Pirates, who are both off to surprisingly good starts.

— Rangers 12, Royals 2— Bruce Bochy won three World Series with the Giants; in his first month managing Texas, his team is 11-6 and leads the AL West by two games.

— White Sox 4-3, Phillies 7-0— Lucas Giolito threw six no-hit innings in the nightcap; he threw 102 pitches in those six innings.

— Hayden Wesneski has started three games for the Cubs, who won all three games, mostly because they scored 36 runs in those games.

— Golden State’s Draymond Green is suspended for Game 3 of the Warriors-Kings series; NBA said the suspension was “based in part on Green’s history of unsportsmanlike acts.” Green stepped on the chest of the Kings’ Domantas Sabonis during Monday’s Game 2 in Sacramento.

— Rams traded WR Allen Robinson to Pittsburgh; teams also flip 7th round draft picks, and the Rams get some salary cap relief, which they really need.

— Chiefs are signing QB Blaine Gabbert to back up Patrick Mahomes; the 33-year old Gabbert has started 48 games in his 11-year career, but his last start was in 2018.

Thursday’s 6-pack
Last six teams to win the NBA Championship:
2022— Golden State
2021— Milwaukee
2020— LA Lakers
2019— Toronto
2018— Golden State
2017— Golden State

Quote of the Day
“A reform that has been of interest to ownership for a number of years is a limitation of contract length……those (long) contracts result in a transfer from the current stars to yesterday’s stars. At some point, that has to be true. And I think it is an issue that is important for us to stay focused on, because it creates inflexibility that affects the quality of the teams that you put on the field.”
MLB commissioner Rob Manfred

Thursday’s quiz
When was the last time the Angels made the playoffs?

Wednesday’s quiz
Clint Hurdle was the Pittsburgh Pirates’ manager in 2015, last time they made the playoffs.

Tuesday’s quiz
Since 2020, Washington Commanders started eight quarterbacks, the most of any team.

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

Thursday’s Den: XFL trends, and other relevant Thursday things…….

— Mets 5, Dodgers 3
Max Scherzer was tossed in the 4th inning; a sticky substance dispute.
Brandon Nimmo went 5-for-5, hit a home run for the Mets.
Dodgers are 9-10 and look very ordinary.

— Pirates 14, Rockies 3— Pittsburgh outscored Colorado 33-9 in their three-game sweep; Pirates are 12-7, would be in the playoffs if they started today.

— Padres 1, Braves 0— San Diego has scored total of two runs in their last four games; Martinez tossed seven shutout IP, Soto homered for the only run.

— Bronx 3, Angels 2 (10)— Judge homered, also made two great catches that both saved a run; two teams were a combined 1-24 with runners in scoring position.

— Brewers 5, Mariners 3— Milwaukee is 6-0 in games where the winning run scored from the 7th inning on.

— Orioles 4, Nationals 0— Baltimore is 11-7; just like the Pirates, if the season ended now, they would make the playoffs.

— Cincinnati Reds signed P Hunter Greene to a six-year, $53M contract extension. Greene has started 28 games for the Reds; he is 5-13, with a 4.42 ERA.

— Josiah Gray pitches for Washington; in his last three starts, the Nationals lost 1-0/2-0/1-0. Not a lot of support there.

— It can’t be a lot of fun being a mid-major college basketball coach; Kansas Jayhawks just poached a player from Towson State. Nick Timberlake scored 17.7 ppg in 35.7 minutes/game this past year, shooting 41.6% on the arc. Shooting is marketable.

When a player plays 35.7 minutes/game, it means he is indispensable; Towson was 21-12 this past season, 12-6 in the CAA, a good team- they’re 46-21 the last two years, but now they’re going to regress, because their best guy just jumped ship to play in the big time.

— Chris Ledlum scored 18.8 ppg, grabbed 8.4 rebounds/game for Harvard last year; he goes to Tennessee as a grad student, choosing the Vols over Indiana.

— Home teams won all three NBA games Wednesday; Heat-Bucks, Lakers-Grizzlies series are both 1-1. Nuggets beat Minnesota 122-113, lead that series 2-0.

— Since 1997, LA Lakers have won 30 consecutive playoff series when they won Game 1, the NBA’s longest-such streak; the next three longest streaks:

Bulls 24 (1990-98)
Celtics 24 (1957-73)
Rockets 17 (1975-97)

— NFL Draft starts a week from tonight; there are five teams that don’t have a first round pick this year. One of the teams, the LA Rams, haven’t had a first round pick since they took Jared Goff in 2016. Rams do have their first round pick next year.

— There is an Arena Football team here in Albany, the Albany Empire, which plays in the National Arena League, which has seven teams, two of them in Texas; former NFL WR Antonio Brown recently became the majority owner— he owns 95% of the team.

Since Brown took over the team, he fired the head coach (who won the championship the last two years), and then the director of media relations and team president also left the team. It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Long time ago, Brown’s father Eddie Brown was a great WR for the Albany Firebirds in the Arena Football League; Firebirds won the Arena Bowl in 1999. Eddie Brown once scored seven TD’s in a game— right now, he is the Empire’s vice president of operations.
