Wednesday’s 6-pack:
All-time home run leaders for the Oakland A’s
363— Mark McGwire
269— Reggie Jackson
254— Jose Canseco
230— Eric Chavez
198— Jason Giambi
192— Sal Bando

Quote of the Day
“We needed a win. The momentum of that one made it a big win. Two do-or-die kind of plays there. The first one, the game’s over if you don’t make the play. The second one, there’s no risk. Two accurate throws, which is the most important part.”
Cubs’ OF Ian Happ, who threw two runners out at the plate in extra innings

Wednesday’s quiz

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings…….

— Modern baseball: Red Sox OF Jarren Duran went 2-3 Tuesday, with a double/triple, a day after he went 5-5, with four doubles. That had only happened only 49 other times in the last 100 years, a guy hitting four doubles in a game.
So, in two days, Duran went 7-8, with five doubles and a triple. Pretty impressive.
Down 6-1 in the 7th inning Tuesday, Duran was due up, and they freakin’ pinch-hit for him!!!!
How the BLEEP do you pinch-hit for a young player who was 7-8 with five doubles and a triple the last two days? Do you WANT him to be confident? This makes no sense.

— Teams like the Reds, Diamondbacks, Orioles are vastly improved this year; seems like with the new rules, teams with lot of guys who run really fast have an advantage. Go figure.

— Padres 8, Angels 5: Rough day for the Halos Tuesday
They announced Mike Trout has a broken hamate bone in his wrist, is out 4-6 weeks.
Shohei Ohtani got whacked around in this game, left with blister issues.
Anthony Rendon fouled a ball off his shin, was on crutches after the game.

— San Diego was 30-17 in one-run games last year; they’re 5-15 this season, which helps explain why they’re ten games out of first place.
— San Diego DFA’d veteran DH Nelson Cruz, a popular guy in the clubhouse but a 43-year old DH who was hitting .245 this year, with a .681 OPS.

— Reds 8, Nationals 4
Cincinnati won six of its last seven games, is 47-39 now.
Elly De La Cruz snapped out of a slump, went 4-4 in this game.

— Guardians 6, Braves 5 (10)— Atlanta’s 9-game win streak comes to an end.

— Mets acquired two relievers from Seattle, Chris Flexen and Trevor Gott in exchange for lefty reliever Zach Muckenhirn.

— Cubs 7, Brewers 6 (11)
Chicago blew a 6-2 8th inning lead, but won the game on a single by Nico Hoerner.
Cubs’ OF Ian Happ threw two runners out at the plate in extra innings.

— Mets 8, Arizona 5— Marte, Nimmo, Alvarez all homered; Marte knocked in three runs.

— Twins 9, Royals 3— Carlos Correa got his 1,000th career hit.

— A’s 1, Tigers 0 (10)
A’s had only one hit in the first nine innings; Ryan Noda’s 10th inning single was the game-winner.
Oakland now has 24 wins; they’re 4-3 in their last seven games. I’d call them spunky, but every time I’ve done that this year, they’ve gone on a long losing streak.

JP Sears tossed 7.1 scoreless innings for the A’s.
— Mariners 6, Giants 0— Logan Gilbert tossed a 105-pitch complete game shutout.

— Movie of the Day: The Rewrite (2014)— An Oscar-winning screenwriter in a slump leaves Hollywood to teach screenwriting at Binghamton U, an obscure college in New York, where he falls for a single mom taking classes there.
Hugh Grant is the screenwriter, Marisa Tomei is the student. JK Simmons, Allison Janney play professors.

I went to college at a state school in New York; no one in any of my classes looked anything like Marisa Tomei. Go figure.
This is a nice movie, a good movie with some low-key humor.

— College football bowl game Trend of the Day:
underdogs covered six of the last seven Rose Bowls.

— Makes me laugh when a right-handed batter checks his swing and immediately points to the first base umpire, like the ump is automatically going to say he didn’t swing. Sometimes the batter and the catcher both point to the first base ump.

— Joey Chestnut ate 62 hot dogs in 10:00 after a lengthy lightning delay Tuesday afternoon, and won the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest in Brooklyn. His betting total wound up at 71.5 weiners, so he won the contest while underperforming on a humid day in New York. Casinos said they made some money on the event; most gamblers bet the over.

— An interesting question came up during the Rangers-Red Sox game Tuesday; Boston had a rally going, the Rangers changed pitchers. While the reliever is walking in from the bullpen, a huge downpour starts, and the umpires call for the tarp to be put on the field.
The question is this: Does that reliever still have to face three batters, even if the rain delay lasted 2-3 hours? He already warmed up; lot of teams don’t like pitchers to keep working after a long rain delay. The guy wound up pitching an inning after the rain delay, but I never heard if that question was answered.
