Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Six of the top minor league prospets of the Colorado Rockies........

1) Jon Gray, P-- Was 0-2, 5.53 in nine big league starts LY.

3) Brendan Rodgers, SS-- Won't turn 20 until August; HS kid from Florida.

4) Jeff Hoffman, P-- Allowed 36 hits in 48 IP in AA last year.

6) Kyle Freeland, P-- Evansville alum got $2.3M to sign in 2014

8) Trevor Story, 2B/SS-- Hit .277 at high altitude Albuquerque LY; not great.

9) Antonioo Senzatela, P-- 37-18, 2.49 in three minor league seasons.

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday.........

13 Back in the early days of ESPN, when they had most of the NCAA tourney, they would run replays of every game back all night long, until next day's games started. This was tremendous; now there is station on DirecTV, ROOT TV (channel 687) that basically does the same thing every Saturday night, running games back all night. As I type this, I'm on my 18th straight hour of watching college hoop- tremendous!!!

12) Kentucky 89, South Carolina 62-- Calipari got tossed 2:26 into this game, then his players then played their best game of the season. Funny how that works.

11) ESPN treats Joe Lunardi's NCAA tournament projections like they are a fact: "Gonzaga dropped out of the field by losing at SMU". Stop already. Lunardi does an excellent job projecting the field, but he isn't always right and it becomes annoying as they talk about this stuff when the brackets are still four weeks away.

10) Providence (-4) 75, Georgetown 72-- Gambling is hard; Friars were up 26 in this game, led by 20 at the half, but didn't cover the spread.

9) Morehead State 78, Belmont 77-- Contrasting styles, a growing rivalry. Belmont was up 14 at the half in this game. This was a tough game to officiate

8) Stacey Augmon spoke out about the vacant UNLV head coaching job; he is an assistant at his alma mater now and he spoke to the Las Vegas newspaper Saturday, saying he wanted the job. If they don't hire him or Reggie Theus, another alum, then they better hire Rick Pitino or they're going to look bad.

7) Fort Wayne 88, Denver 84-- Pioneers of Summit League lost this game, but made 20-32 on the arc, wthout taking a single foul shot the whole game. Very rarely see a team go a whole game without any FTs- scoring 84 points makes it more rare.

6) Atlantic 14 needs better TV exposure- when you're on the east coast and your first game on a Saturday doesn't start until 4:00, you're missing out on four hours of potential TV exposure. Some good teams in this league; they need to be seen more.

5) Wright State 61, Valparaiso 59........Texas Tech 84, Baylor 66-- Rough day for the Drew brothers, who were favored by 14, 9 points in these games.

4) Albert Einstein has been dead since 1955- his estate made $11M last year.

3) Kansas 76, Oklahoma 72-- Not often Sooners go 10-32 on the arc- they shot 33% from floor in this game. .

2) I've said this before: ESPN fouled up letting basketball anaylst Doug Gottlieb get away-- he is smart, opinionated and teaches you stuff. He is so much better at his job than Jay Bilas is, but ESPN has anointed Bilas as its #1 analyst. Bad move.

1) Stanford 76, Oregon 72-- Rough weekend for Ducks in Bay Area; getting swept by Cal and Stanford. Oregon-Arizona-USC are all tied for first in loss column- Arizona and USC play today. Six teams are within 1.5 games of first place in Pac-12.

Hey Udog--Glad to have you back--been getting error messages when I tried to logon lately.

It's good to have you back, too, RS! I don't know exactly what happened but I sure am glad to see everybody! I stay kinda dazed and confused when the site is down.
