Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

Anatomy of a marathon; notes on the 19-inning game in the Bronx Friday:

-- Red Sox won 6-5 in 19 innings, after blowing leads in 9th, 16th and 18th innings.

-- Game took 6:49-- it started at 7:24pm, ended at 2:13am.

-- Red Sox left 20 men on base; Mike Napoli was 0-8 with four Ks.

-- Carlos Beltran, Didi Gregorius both went 1-6; neither guy started.

-- Total of 628 pitches were thrown; quick turnaround for umpires, who don't get to sit down during game. Saturday's game is at 1:05.

-- 249 pitches were called a ball; only 247 of the 628 pitches were swung at, with 132 pitches called strikes.

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud...........

13) Tampa Bay's new manager is Kevin Cash. Bottom 8th in Miami last night, Marlins have go-ahead run on second, two out, Giancarlo Stanton up in an 8-8 game. Mike Morse is on deck. A drunken monkey knows you walk Stanton and pitch to Morse, but no, they didn't and Stanton gets the go-ahead single.

There is no defense for such hideous strategy; Rays had rallied from down 8-1 to tie game- they wound up losing 10-9 in the ninth. Cash is a rookie manager, for sure, but he'll never become a veteran manager unless he wakes up.

12) Adrian Gonzalez had knocked in a run in six straight plate appearances; since 1950, the holder of the record in this category is Jermaine Dye, with seven in 1999.

11) Cincinnati Reds are 4-0, with all four wins in their final at-bat.

10) Oakland A's have played five games; five different guys batted 2nd.

9) In their first four games, Bronx Bombers have been outscored 12-1 in the first five innings.

8) Calgary Flames are in NHL playoffs for first time in six years; Winnipeg has a team in playoffs for first time since 1996. People there are VERY happy.

7) Texas football coach Charlie Strong forgot his quarterback's first name during a deposition of a lawsuit between the Longhorns and Oklahoma State. Lot of coaches would forget their wife's name before their QB's.

6) Part of the reason Bobby Hurley bolted Buffalo for Arizona State was that Buffalo AD wouldn't negotiate with Hurley's agent. That and the maximum possible weather upgrade, moving from western New York to Tempe.

5) If I'm Danny Hurley, I get my brother on the phone, schedule a road game in the Arizona desert this year, with a return trip to URI next year. Even if ASU doesn't give the Rams a return game, URI should be better than the Sun Devils this coming season.

4) As I'm typing this, I can hear a guy outside walking down the street, cursing out whoever he is talking to on his cellphone. Keep it classy, Colonie.....

3) Friday's Cubs-Rockies game was the 12th game in major league history where both pitchers batted 8th; I'm just not a fan of this, but managers keep doing it. DJ LaMahieu went 3-4 in 9-hole for Colorado, but scored only once.

2) Best wishes to Iowa State basketball coach Fred Hoiberg, who will undergo open heart surgery soon to repair a valve in his heart. Hoiberg is so calm, he seems like the last guy who would have heart problems. Get well soon, sir.

1) What a week for Jim Nantz; Final Four last weekend, Masters this week. Wonder which event he prefers doing?

Montoya to start in place of Luongo for Panthers

Florida Panthers netminder Roberto Luongo will not start in Saturday's clash with the New Jersey Devils due to a scheduled day of rest.

Al Montoya will take the crease in his place. Montoya is 5-7-2 with a .888 save percentage and a 3.88 GAA in 19 appearances this season for the Cats. Corey Schneider will counter in between the pipes for the Devils.

Florida is currently priced at -165 at most shops.


Struggling Penguins face Sabres in must-win game

The Pittsburgh Penguins certainly aren't making things easy on themselves in the Eastern Conference playoff hunt, as the club continued its losing ways in the form of a 3-1 loss to the New York Islanders Friday.

The Pens are clinging on to the last of two wild card spots in the East at 96 points, sitting one point behind Ottawa and one above Boston. Sidney Crosby and company's struggles have been ongoing for quite some time, going 3-9-2 since March 14 - the second-worst winning percentage (.231) in the NHL behind the Arizona Coyotes in that span.

Saturday marks a huge day on the ice as Pittsburgh travels to Buffalo for a date with the lowly Buffalo Sabres in a must-win game for the Penguins.

At the time of writing, oddsmakers had set the black and gold as hefty -370 favorites on the moneyline for the affair.


Flames immerging defense leading to unders

The Calgary Flames have gone under the closing total in their past four games, thanks to a strong defensive presence. The Flames have only allowed seven goals during that span, including a shutout against the lowly Edmonton Oilers.

Those four contests have seen the Flames allow the seven goals, mentioned above, while socring 11 which equals 4.5 goals per game.

Calgary will visit the Winnipeg Jets Saturday.


Calender year since Canadiens have lost to Maple Leafs

The Montreal Canadiens have have won the past five games against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The last time the Leafs have topped the Habs was on Jan. 18, 2014.

The Canadiens have rarely run away with those games though as all but the last affair has been settled by a mere one goal.

Montreal visits Toronto Saturday.
