Monday’s 6-pack

MLB leaders in on-base %age:
.437— Ronald Acuna, Atl/Luis Arraez, Mia
.429— Yandy Diaz, TB
.427— LaMonte Wade, SF
.425— Ian Happ, Cubs
.420— Brent Rooker, A’s
.415— Anthony Rendon, LAA

Quote of the Day
“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
Albert Einstein

Monday’s quiz
This year, Willson Contreras was the Cardinals’ first Opening Day catcher other than Yadier Molina since 2005.

Which former major league manager was the Cardinals’ catcher before Molina?

Sunday’s quiz
Seven current NHL franchises are based in Canada:
Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Winnipeg.

Saturday’s quiz
Frank Vogel was the Lakers’ coach, last time they won an NBA title, three years ago.

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

Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday…….

Celtics 112, 76ers 88
Jayson Tatum scored 51 points; Boston outscored Philly 33-10 in third quarter.
Rough day for Philadelphia sports fans; Phillies got shut out…….at Coors Field.

— Re-visiting the first five picks of the 2017 NBA Draft:
#1— 76ers— Markelle Fultz— played only 33 games for Philly
#2— Lakers— Lonzo Ball— played two years for the Lakers, didn’t play (knee) this year
#3— Celtics— Jayson Tatum
#4— Suns— Josh Jackson— played two years for the Suns, didn’t play this year
#5— Kings— De’Aaron Fox— Led Sacramento to the playoffs this year.

— Phoenix Suns fired coach Monty Williams this weekend, despite his 194-115 record in four regular seasons, 27-19 in playoff games for Phoenix. Suns made the NBA Finals two years ago.

Mat Ishbia paid $4B to buy the Suns during this season; really, really rich people have very little patience. Ishbia was a scrub on Michigan State’s national title team in 2000; we’ll see who he hires to replace Williams.

— Denver Nuggets play the Lakers in the Western Conference final; Nuggets are owned by Stan Kroenke, who also owns the Los Angeles Rams.

Nuggets have never been to the NBA Finals; they lost the ABA Finals in 1976, the last year the ABA existed.

— Golden State Warriors finished 14-34 ATS on the road this season, the worst-such record since at least 1995.

— Memphis Grizzlies suspended PG Ja Morant again, this time after he was seen flashing a gun on an Instagram Live video Saturday. This is a PR disaster for the team/NBA; this suspension could be very long.

— Most at-bats without a home run this season:
154— Jose Abreu, Hst
146— Andrew Benintendi, CWS
141— Mauricio Dubon, Hst

Dodgers 4, Padres 0— San Diego has lost 7 of its last 8 games, scored total of 10 runs in its last five games. Padres are 19-22, despite having a payroll of $249,100,745 this season, one of the three biggest payrolls in baseball.

Pirates 5, Orioles 0— First time in 13 games Pittsburgh scored more than 3 runs. Mitch Keller tossed seven innings, struck out 13 Orioles.

— Cleveland 1B Josh Naylor has been struggling this season, but he had a good weekend:
Friday— Go-ahead home run in 8th inning
Saturday— Go-ahead home run in 8th inning
Sunday— Go-ahead home run in 8th inning

Naylor is first player since at least 1961 to hit a go-ahead home run in the 8th inning or later three games in a row,

— Arizona rookie OF Dominic Fletcher knocked in 11 runs in three games from Thursday-Saturday; he had a homer, triple and 5 RBI in Saturday’s game.

— 25% of the way thru this season, Seattle Mariners are only 20-20 after making playoffs last year for first time since 2001. Star OF Julio Rodriguez is batting only .215; they had him batting 6th the other night— he hit 3rd in Sunday’s loss at Detroit.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL— Braves, Brewers, Dodgers. Wild Cards: Pirates, Arizona, Phillies
AL— Rays, Twins, Rangers. Wild Cards: Orioles, Blue Jays, New York
