Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

Three pitchers in last 30 years with most IP thru age 30:
1) CC Sabathia, 2,441
2) Felix Hernandez 2,415
3) Clayton Kershaw 2,248

Current MAAC basketball standings:
11-6: Iona
10-6: Canisius, Quinnipiac, Rider, Siena
9-9: Monmouth


**********

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend…….

13) Golfer Dustin Johnson won the WGC-Mexico Championship Sunday, the 20th PGA Tour victory of his career. Read something surprising about Johnson this weekend; he is apparently “a blackjack savant” who likes to play five hands at a time, and instantly knows the odds of each hand as they’re dealt, which makes him like Alan in The Hangover movies. Who knew?

12) How come none of the AAF teams have white jerseys? All eight teams wear the same jerseys every week. Not sure thats a great idea.

11) Michigan State 77, Michigan 70— Spartans’ win in Ann Arbor without two injured starters? Three MSU starters played 37:00+; quite an effort.

10) Cincinnati 64, UConn 60— Bearcats led 50-35 with 9:05 left, gave up a 16-0 run, then pulled the game out late, small consolation if had Cincy, -6.

9) Xavier 66, Villanova 54— Wildcats lost four straight road games for first time since 2012; they looked like a tired team in this game.

8) Rutgers 68, Minnesota 64— Horrendous loss for the sliding Gophers, who’ve lost six of their last seven games. Their #244 non-conference schedule ain’t going to help on Selection Sunday.

7) UNC-Greensboro 60, East Tennessee State 59— These teams are likely to meet again in SoCon semi-finals. This is an underrated league with four quality teams this season.

6) Siena 67, Marist 55— First-year coach Jamion Christian has the Saints at 15-14, 10-6 in a weak MAAC- they’ve won six of their last eight games, with experience team #247 that is playing 2nd-slowest tempo in country. Solid coaching job, cleaning up the mess of a program that was 8-24 last year, 4-14 in conference.

5) UCF 95, SMU 48— Golden Knights’ 7-6 center Tacko Fall is fluent in four languages and is learning a fifth one. He had 23 points, 20 rebounds in this game.

4) Tucker Barnhart batted leadoff for the Reds the other day; don’t see lot of catchers batting leadoff, even if it is in spring training.

3) AAF trivia: Salt Lake City Stallions became first team in league history to win SU as an underdog when they upset the Arizona Hotshots Saturday.

2) Houston Astros have an odd spring training schedule; they play the Mets the next three Mondays, the Marlins the next three Thursdays and St Louis the next three Fridays.

1) Stat Comp of the Day:
Someone posted this on Twitter Saturday. Player A is Stephen Strasburg’s career stats. Any guesses on which Hall of Famer is Player B?

Player A: 1,229.2 IP, 94-52 W-L record, 2.91 FIP, 129 ERA+

Player B: 1,221.1 IP, 94-46 W-L record, 2.81 FIP, 122 ERA+

Player B is George Herman (Babe) Ruth, who I’m told was a pretty good hitter, too.

Lightning top Kings 4-3 in shootout for 9th straight win
February 26, 2019

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Nikita Kucherov, Steven Stamkos and Victor Hedman scored in the shootout and the NHL-leading Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Los Angeles Kings 4-3 for their ninth straight victory Monday night, matching the longest winning streak in franchise history.

J.T. Miller's third-period goal forced overtime, and Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 30 shots for the Lightning, who improved the league's best record to 48-11-4 and became the fourth team to reach 100 points in 63 games or less.

Alex Iafallo, Jonny Brodzinski and Austin Wagner scored in the third period, helping Los Angeles turn a two-goal deficit into a short-lived 3-2 lead that goalie Jack Campbell couldn't protect. The Kings have lost eight straight, their longest skid since December 2007.

Braden Point and Anthony Cirelli had first-period goals for the Lightning, who fell behind when Brodzinski and Wagner scored in a 36-second span. Miller countered less than a minute later to make it 3-all.

Kucherov got his 71st assist on Tampa Bay's first goal, giving him a league-leading and career-best 101 points.

PREDATORS 3, OILERS 2

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Brian Boyle scored in the fourth round of a shootout to lift Nashville over Edmonton.

P.K. Subban had a goal and an assist, and Colton Sissons also scored as the Predators won for the third time in four games to pass Winnipeg for first place in the Central Division. The Jets have three games in hand.

Pekka Rinne made a pad save on Ty Rattie when the Oilers forward tried to extend the shootout.

Leon Draisaitl scored twice for Edmonton, which won its previous two games.

Kyle Turris and Ryan Ellis each hit the post as the first two shooters for Nashville in the tiebreaker. After Filip Forsberg scored for the Predators, Sam Gagner forced the shootout to sudden death.

MAPLE LEAFS 5, SABRES 3

TORONTO (AP) - John Tavares, Auston Matthews and Frederik Gauthier scored three quick goals in the second period and Toronto held off Buffalo.

Tyler Ennis had the eventual winner in Toronto's four-goal second and Kasperi Kapanen added some insurance with a short-handed goal in the third.

Matthews is the first player in Maple Leafs history to score 30-plus goals in the first three seasons of his NHL career.

Frederik Andersen made 31 saves for his 100th win with Toronto.

Jack Eichel scored twice and Sam Reinhart had a goal, but the Sabres' playoff chances took another hit.

DEVILS 2, CANADIENS 1

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Nathan Bastian scored his first NHL goal, Kurtis Gabriel got his second and last-place New Jersey continued to be a thorn in Montreal's playoff hopes.

Recently acquired defenseman Connor Carrick set up both goals and Cory Schneider made 34 saves as the young Devils swept their three-game season series with the Canadiens.

Montreal had a lot more at stake. It came into the night with a one-point lead over Carolina and Pittsburgh for the top wild card in the Eastern Conference. The Hurricanes and Penguins now each have a game in hand.

Paul Byron scored a short-handed goal for Montreal, and Carey Price made 20 saves.

Tuesday’s 6-pack

From Jason on Twitter: NFL leaders in dead money, from 2016-2019:

1. Bills- $125M

2. Browns- $111M

3. Saints- $102M

4. 49ers- $82M

5. Giants- $80M

6. Jets- $71M

Dead money is cap money that is left over after a contract is terminated/voided.

Quote of the Day
“I don’t think there’s negotiation here. As players, it just shouldn’t be in the game. Having a pitch clock, if you have ball-strike implications, that’s messing with the fabric of the game. There’s no clock in baseball, and there’s no clock in baseball for a reason.”
Max Scherzer


Tuesday’s quiz
What team did Max Scherzer break into the major leagues with?

Monday’s quiz
Of the eight head coaches in the AAF, five have also been NFL head coaches.

Sunday’s quiz
Three current NBA head coaches have also been the head coach of a D-I college team; Billy Donovan, Quin Snyder and Brad Stevens

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

Tuesday’s List of 13: Nobody asked me, but……

13) John S. Middleton owns 48% of the Philadelphia Phillies; he went to college at Amherst and then Harvard Business School, so he is a very smart human.

His family owned a retail tobacco shop in Philadelphia that evolved into a manufacturer and marketer of pipe tobacco and cigars; Middleton wound up selling the company for $2.9B, thats billion, with a B.

12) Middleton flew to Las Vegas this past weekend to try and help recruit Bryce Harper to play for the Phillies. Harper still hasn’t decided; spring training has been going on for a week.

If I’m Mr Middleton, I tell Harper and his scumweasel agent; enough already. You have one more hour to decide, either sign with us or we move on. Begging someone to take $300M isn’t cool. Sign on the dotted line or we’ll go in a different direction.

Regular season starts in 30 days; time to make a decision.

11) A 71-year old man in California was convicted of a double murder 40 years ago, but it turns out the guy didn’t do it, so he was released from prison in 2017, and was recently awarded $21M in a settlement with the city of Simi Valley.

What do you if you’ve been in jail for the last 40 years and all of a sudden you’re not only free, but rich as hell? Would make an interesting movie.

10) For 11 months out of 12, weekday television completely sucks; ESPN has hired so many nitwit talking heads it is difficult to keep them all straight. There is a lot of political talk on TV but that pretty much makes me want to puke. So during the day, it is either movies or music.

Except for the next month, when preseason baseball games are on TV every day, and that is a great thing. Who cares that the games don’t matter? It is live baseball; nothing wrong with that.

9) Saw Tim Tebow play baseball for first time over the weekend; he looked decent as a hitter. a lefty, he lined out to left one time, and then he hit a pretty good drive to left-center, but the CF for Houston made a great diving catch, saving a double or a triple. Sounds like he will start this season at AAA Syracuse; will be interesting to follow.

8) Giants-Cubs spring training game this weekend drew 9,277 fans in Scottsdale; spring training has become very popular. One of these years I may have to venture out to the desert to see some baseball. I’m guessing A’s spring training games don’t draw 9,000+.

7) This season is the Cincinnati Reds’ 150th anniversary; to celebrate, the Reds will wear fifteen different throwback uniforms. Thats right, 15 different sets of uniforms. Hopefully they’re giving their equipment guys a bonus for keeping all of that straight.

6) Looking ahead to conference tournament play in a couple weeks; Iona is 16-2 in its last 18 MAAC tournament games. Gonzaga has won its last 17 WCC tournament games; last time the Zags didn’t win the WCC tournament was in 2012, when they lost to Saint Mary’s.

5) Nets 101, Spurs 85— San Antonio has now lost seven of its last eight games; last time they missed the playoffs was 1996-97, the season Gregg Popovich replaced Bob Hill as head coach. Right now, San Antonio is 33-29, but seem headed in the wrong direction- if the season ended today, they’d be the #8 seed in the West.

4) It was so windy in beautiful upstate New York Monday, I fully expected to see the Wicked Witch of the West riding past my house on her bicycle, with a bunch of monkeys flying above (obscure movie reference— the Wizard of Oz). Very cold, but mercifully, no damage around my house and even better, no snow.

3) In the AAF, there are no kickoffs; if you want to “onside kick”, you have a 4th-and-12 on your own 28-yard line, and the game progresses from there. Happened for the first time this past week, and the team converted the first down, so they kept the ball.

2) Stumbled across one of my favorite movies this weekend; Searching for Bobby Fischer, a movie about a little kid who is a chess prodigy, starring Joe Mantegna as the kid’s father and Ben Kingsley/Lawrence Fishburne as the kid’s chess mentors.

If you ever get a chance to see this movie, it is worth your time.

1) Thanks to WeTV for running a Law and Order marathon every Sunday night; it came in especially handy after the Super Bowl, when I didn’t exactly feel like watching SportsCenter that night. One of the best TV shows ever made, Law and Order was on for 20 years; 456 episodes.

This week's NHL betting predictions and picks: Ducks in tough spot vs Blackhawks
Monty Andrews

The Anaheim Ducks led by Ryan Getzlaf will have a very hard time keeping up with Patrick Kane and the high-scoring Chicago Blackhawks in NHL action on Wednesday night.

NHL bettors will have several compelling matchups to choose from in the early-week schedule, including the NHL's worst offense during the month of February - the Anaheim Ducks - taking on its best in the Chicago Blackhawks. Here are the top matchups, betting trends and tips to monitor to help you skate through the hockey odds this week.


Look at Us Now

When the Columbus Blue Jackets acquired Matt Duchene and Ryan Dzingel in separate trades with the Ottawa Senators, it was clear they wanted to take a shot at a deep playoff run. And they'll get the chance to see how they measure up with a team in their neck of the woods as the Blue Jackets tangle with the visiting Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday. The Blue Jackets have won two straight to vault one point ahead of the Penguins, who have dropped two in a row. And the increased offensive firepower is a significant add for the Blue Jackets, who have dropped six in a row in their head-to-head series with Pittsburgh.

First vs. Worst

It could be a long night for home fans at the Honda Center as the Chicago Blackhawks venture to Anaheim for a date with the woeful Ducks. These teams couldn't be any further apart when it comes to producing offense this month, with the Blackhawks entering the week having averaged an NHL-best 4.73 goals in February and the Ducks at the opposite end of the spectrum with a 1.73 goals-per-game average. Need a better example of how divergent these teams are? The Blackhawks have seven players with 10 or more points this month; the Ducks' leading February scorer is Ryan Getzlaf with six points.

Goalie Profile: Curtis McElhinney, Carolina Hurricanes

If the Hurricanes slip into the Eastern Conference playoffs – and they're on the periphery as of the start of the week – they might just have a journeyman cast-off to thank for it. McElhinney has been a revelation in goal for Carolina, boasting a 16-7-1 SU record with a 2.25 goals-against average and .923 save percentage – marks that rank second and seventh, respectively, among qualified netminders. And the former sixth-round pick has saved his best work for the month of February, having gone an incredible 5-1-0 with a 1.50 GAA, a .950 SV% and two shutouts in six starts.

Injury Update: Mats Zuccarello, Dallas Stars

Few things chafe hockey fans like seeing a new acquisition suffer a long-term injury – but that's the reality Stars supporters are dealing with today. Zuccarello will be lost for approximately four weeks after blocking a shot in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks – his first game with his new club after being acquired by the New York Rangers. The loss of Zuccarello – who has 12 goals and 27 assists in 47 games this season – is a significant one for the Stars, who have been hurting for offense for most of the season, ranked 29th in the league in goals per game at 2.52.

Hat Trick Trends

There's a new king of the home-ice betting edge, and his name is Steve Kozari. The veteran official has seen the biggest value return for those who wager on the home team, with a surplus of 14.88 units as of Sunday. Strangely, Kozari is also one of the better Under plays, as well, ranking seventh out of 38 qualified referees in Under value returned.

The New Jersey Devils won't play another road game until next weekend – and that's a good thing for them, their fans, and bettors. The Devils have easily been the worst road value option of any NHL team, returning -10.38 units to date. For comparison's sake, no other team in the league has lost more than 5.60 units away from their home arena.

If you haven't made your goal or point leader prop bets yet, the proverbial ship might have already sailed. Washington's Alex Ovechkin is a heavy favorite to win yet another Rocket Richard Trophy, entering the week with a five-goal edge over Patrick Kane. And the Art Ross race is also well in hand, with Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov leading runner-up Kane by seven points.
