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

Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports weekend……..​

— An underrated thing in football is how a lot of coaches are nomads; you look at the 32 coordinators for the 16 NFC teams, then eliminate Rams/49ers’ OC’s, since McVay/Shanahan are really the offensive coordinator- of the 30 remaining NFC coordinators for this coming season, over half of them will be in their first year in that job.
Coaches’ wives must be very good at packing.

— When the Padres acquired Luis Arraez from Miami Friday night, it happened while games were going on. One of the prospects San Diego acquired was a runner on 2nd base in his minor league game; his manager called time, they sent a pinch-runner out for him, and when he got back to the dugout, told him he had been traded to Miami.

— There is a kicker on the UFL’s Michigan Panthers, Jake Bates; the guy has made three FG’s of 60+ yards in six games this year. How has an NFL team not signed the guy already?

— Toronto Maple Leafs have now lost their last six Game 7’s that were on the road; they’ve won one playoff series the last 20 years, losing four playoff series to Boston in the last 11 years.

— How has Denver Nuggets’ star Jamal Murray never been in an NBA All-Star Game? The guy has scored 18+ ppg the last five years he’s played, has helped lead Denver to an NBA title, he is a great player.

— Cavaliers 106, Magic 94
Cavaliers were down 18 at one point; this is the biggest comeback win ever in a Game 7.
Mitchell had 39 points, 5 assists for Cleveland.
Cleveland wins series, 4-3

— Dallas 2, Vegas 1
Stars win series, 2-1
Dallas coach DeBoer is 8-0 in Game 7’s.
Since 2005, under is now 43-26-9 in NHL Game 7’s (62.3%)

— Famous birthdays for May 6th:
Willie Mays, 93
Jason Witten, 42
Goran Dragic, 38
Jose Altuve, 34
Joey Meneses, 32
Jonas Valanciunas, 32

— Phillies SS Trea Turner hurt his hamstring this weekend, is out six weeks.

— Mets’ 2B Jeff McNeil’s home/away splits this year:
Home: .175 batting average, .453 OPS in 63 AB’s.
Away: .320 batting average, .864 OPS in 50 AB’s.

— It is still early in the season; pitcher’s ERA can jump pretty fast. Jose Quintana got rocked in Tampa Friday night; his ERA, in one start, jumped from 3.48 to 5.20.

— Orioles 11, Reds 1— Cincinnati lost its last five games, scoring total of eight runs.

— Rays 7, Mets 6 (10)
Arozarena tied game with a 9th inning homer.
Rookie OF DeLuca’s 10th-inning triple was the game-winning hit.

— Red Sox 9, Twins 2— Boston snaps the Twins’ 12-game winning streak.

— Nationals 11, Blue Jays 8
Winker homered, doubled, knocked in three runs.
Blue Jays led 6-2 in the 4th inning.

— Mariners 5, Astros 4
Raleigh’s 9th inning home run was the game-winning hit.

— Rangers 3, Royals 2 (10)
Kansas City led 2-0 after seven innings.
Heim’s 9th inning home run tied the game 2-2.

— Dodgers 5, Braves 1
Rough trip out west for Atlanta; they were 1-5 this week.
Ohtani went 4-4 with two home runs for the Dodgers.
