Friday’s 6-pack:
— Dolphins’ CB Jalen Ramsey hurt his knee, is expected to be out 6-8 weeks.
— Colorado Buffs are expected to jump from Pac-12 to the Big X.
— Mets 2, Nationals 1— Mets scored twice in 8th inning to win it.
— Guardians 6, White Sox 3— Rookie Tanner Bibee is 7-2, 3.11 this year.
— Cubs 10, Cardinals 3— Mike Tauchman was 3-6 with a home run.
— Bengals’ QB Joe Burrow was carted off with a calf injury Thursday.

Quote of the Day
“A lot of emotions. I grew up here as a player and as a man. A lot of failure, a lot of success. I owe this organization so much. The city, the fans, it’s been an absolute pleasure.”
Lucas Giolito, after being traded by the White Sox to the Angels

Friday’s quiz
Who was the White Sox’ manager, last time they won the World Series?

Thursday’s quiz
Before they played home games in Washington, the Nationals were the Montreal Expos.

Wednesday’s quiz
Patrick Mahomes played his college football at Texas Tech.

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

Friday’s Den: Random stuff on a summer day……..

Long time ago, one of the best teachers I ever had in high school was really smart:
He was a licensed pilot.
He was a licensed pharmacist.
He was a basketball referee.
He was a high school Chemistry teacher.
After we took tests, he would walk around the room returning the papers; if you did badly, a sarcastic remark or a sneer would accompany the paper. If you did well, silence.
He was a very good teacher, so much so that I tried harder in that class that in any other class I ever had— I didn’t handle sarcastic remarks very well. LOL
He said two words that year that I had never heard before:
busywork and nonsensical— he said nonsensical a lot.
He didn’t give us much homework: “If I give you homework, it is important. I’m not going to give you busywork.” He gave us homework once a week, maybe less.
My reason for telling you all this is that it is NONSENSICAL that in baseball, teams that are local rivals are only playing each other four times this season.
A’s-Giants, Dodgers-Angels, Mets-Bronx, Cubs-White Sox.
The energy at these games is palpable, the crowds much bigger. Since when do the geniuses that run MLB turn down extra money? It is nonsensical.
Baseball needs geographic re-alignment; maybe it’ll happen when they expand to 32 teams in a few years, but it would help the financial bottom line a lot, and that makes sense.

— Shohei Ohtani is really good at baseball:
Angels 6, Detroit 0— Ohtani threw a complete game, 1-hit shutout.

Angels 11, Detroit 4— Ohtani hit two homers, knocked in three runs.
Last time a guy tossed a shutout and hit two homers on the same day?
Sonny Siebert, way back in 1971— he did it in the same game, back when pitchers hit.
Baseball trades:

— Angels acquired P’s Lucas Giolito, Reynaldo Lopez from White Sox for two minor leaguers.

— Milwaukee acquired 1B Carlos Santana from Pittsburgh, for 18-year-old SS Jhonny Severino

— Dodgers traded P Noah Syndergaard to Cleveland for SS Amed Rosario.

— Amazing baseball stat; San Diego P Blake Snell is having a very good season. He has a 2.61 ERA in 21 starts, with 147 strikeouts in 114 IP. He is a free agent after this season, but there is this caveat for potential suitors:
In 21 starts this season, Blake Snell has gotten only 3 outs ALL SEASON after the 6th inning. He’s finished the 6th inning in 11 of 21 starts— not great. He’s finished 7 innings once.
Aces are supposed to be really good pitchers, but they’re also supposed to take the strain off the bullpen that night. Pitching 5 or 6 innings doesn’t do that. Snell is going to break the bank this winter; I’m just not sure signing him will be a good value.

— Another weird baseball stat: Chris Bassitt has started 22 games for Toronto this year- they’re 13-9 in those games, but Blue Jays scored 6+ runs in 5 of the 22 games— they’re 0-5 in those games, which makes absolutely no sense. Nonsensical, you might say.

— Broncos coach Sean Payton went out of his way this week to rip former Denver coach Nathaniel Hackett, calling Hackett’s coaching job last year “one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL” Alrighty then.
Maybe this is Payton’s way of getting in good with his new QB, Russell Wilson.
Hackett works as offensive coordinator for the Jets now; you may have heard, they have a new QB this season, Aaron Rodgers.
Jets visit Denver in Week 5; that should be interesting.

— Mets are 10-24 this season vs left-handed starting pitchers; would they be looking to add a right-handed bat at the trade deadline?

— Cincinnati Reds are 3-9 in their last 12 games against Milwaukee; they’re 32-9 in their last 41 games against everyone else.
Since All-Star break, Reds are 0-6 in games where game-winning run scored from the 7th inning on.

— Tampa Bay is 3-9 in its last 12 home games; they were 34-10 in their first 44 home games.

— Movie of the Day: Heaven Can Wait (1978)— An NFL quarterback, accidentally taken away from his body by an overanxious angel before he was meant to die, returns to life in the body of a recently murdered millionaire. You have to use your imagination a little with this one.
Warren Beatty is the QB, Jack Warden the team’s trainer. James Mason is the supervisor of the angels. Oh yeah, the guy played for the Rams, back when the Rams made the playoffs every year, but had never been in a Super Bowl. A few actual LA Rams are in the movie, as are Dyan Cannon, Charles Grodin, Julie Christie.
To say that I loved this movie is an understatement; I still have the actual movie poster from the theater it played in. For a long time, I thought it was the only time I would ever see the Rams win a Super Bowl.

— College Football Trend of the Day: since 2018, UCLA is 6-12 ATS as a home favorite.

— Oregon signed football coach Dan Lanning to a contract extension; he now makes $45M over the next six seasons, all totally guaranteed.
Should Lanning want to leave Eugene for another job, he would owe Oregon a $20M buyout.

— Turn back the clock to August 12, 1987; back then, the trade deadline was August 31, and Detroit needed a pitcher for the stretch run, so they traded a minor leaguer to the Braves for Doyle Alexander, who went 9-0, 1.53 for the Tigers down the stretch, and they made the playoffs. Great trade for Detroit, right?
Well………the minor league pitcher they traded was John Smoltz.
Sometimes it takes years to properly evaluate a trade.

Saturday’s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind……..

— Taulia Tagovailoa is Maryland’s quarterback; he is also Tua Tagovailoa’s brother. He says an unnamed SEC team offered him $1.5M to bolt the Terrapins this spring, to play for their team.
This is what college sports is becoming, teams poaching players left/right. Sam Hartman plays QB for four freakin’ years at Wake Forest, all of a sudden he bolts to Notre Dame. Why not just go to the NFL?
This isn’t good, college sports is becoming a cesspool.

— One of my heroes in life is Chase Daniel, who has been a backup QB in the NFL since 2010.
He played college ball at Missouri; in his NFL career, Chase Daniel has:
started 5 games (in 13 years). He was 2-3 in those starts.
has thrown 9 TD’s, 7 INT’s total, in 13 years.
total $$ earned in his NFL career: $41,828,471
Seriously hope he becomes a broadcaster; he must have some great stories.

— Other night on the White Sox TV broadcast, former big league pitcher Steve Arlin’s name came up— Steve Stone was talking about him. Steve Arlin had an interesting career:
He is in the College Baseball Hall of Fame; he pitched at Ohio State.
He pitched a no-hitter in the minor leagues, for the Phillies’ AA team.
San Diego took him from the Phillies in their expansion draft, in 1968.
He pitched six years in the majors, mostly for the Padres in their expansion years.
He went 9-19 in 1971, 10-21 in 1972- the early Padres were terrible.
In 1972, he pitched a one-hitter and three 2-hitters; he had a no-hitter broken up with two outs in the 9th inning (by Denny Doyle).
He was later traded to Cleveland; one of the other players in the trade was Brent Strom, current pitching coach for Arizona, and the second guy to have Tommy John Surgery.
After his playing days, Steve Arlin was a dentist.
Arlin’s grandfather was Harold Arlin, the first broadcaster ever to call a game on radio, in 1921.

— Baseball trades:
Mets dealt P David Robertson to Miami, for two minor leaguers.
Dodgers acquired P’s Lance Lynn/Joe Kelly from the White Sox, for two minor leaguers and journeyman OF Trayce Thompson (Klay Thompson’s brother).
Astros acquired P Kendall Graveman from the White Sox, in exchange for a minor league catcher.

— If you wager on Canadian Football League games, you already know that the Edmonton Elks have lost 20 consecutive home games, going 3-17 ATS in those games.

— Phillies DH/LF Kyle Schwarber has 11 first pitch home runs this year, most in the majors.

— Movie of the Day: Draft Day (2014)— General Manager of the Cleveland Browns is told by the team’s owner “to make a splash” to create interest in the team. After trading for the number one pick in the draft, the GM has to choose between drafting a lower-ranked LB with a questionable past, or a celebrated QB with a questionable future.
Kevin Costner plays the Browns’ GM, Denis Leary is their coach, Frank Langella the owner. Jennifer Garner is the team’s salary cap analyst.
NFL pushed back their draft that year to help promote this movie, but Radio City Music Hall wasn’t available at the later date, which is why they started moving the draft around America, which has turned out to be a brilliant idea.

— College Football Trend of the Day: Underdogs are 5-2 ATS in last seven New Mexico Bowls.

— Like to listen to podcasts about fantasy baseball, try to learn stuff, but the one I listen to the most has turned me off a little lately.
They’re talking about Mariners’ rookie Cade Marlowe the other night, and the host of the show doesn’t even know what position the guy plays. Here’s a hint: positions are listed in boxscores, every freakin’ day.
Last year, they didn’t know that Cedric Mullins stopped switch-hitting and was batting lefty all the time. Stop going thru the motions; earn your money, if you want people to listen.

— Super Bowl is in Las Vegas this season; that should be a low-key event.

— Cubs 3, Cardinals 2— Mike Tauchman robbed a home run to end the game; would’ve been a walk-off homer. Cubs have won seven games in a row.

— Red Sox 3, Giants 2— Boston is only 1.5 games out of the last Wild Card spot.

— Padres 7, Rangers 1— Joe Musgrove tossed six shutout IP.

— A’s 8, Rockies 5— Shea Langeliers doubled and tripled for Oakland.

— Mariners 5, Arizona 2— Seattle scored four runs in top of the first.

— Orioles 1, New York 0— Anthony Santander hit a 9th inning home run.

— Royals 8, Twins 5 (10)— Bobby Witt Jr hit a walk-off grand slam.
