**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but........

13) At the pro sports level, players win games, its that simple. Milwaukee made a decision to fire manager Ron Roenicke a few days before they actually did it, then leadoff hitter Carlos Gomez came off the DL and now Milwaukee has won three games in a row, but Roenicke's fate had already been sealed. You can't fire the trainer during the season. Lucroy is still hurt; will Milwaukee still be in the race by the time he gets healthy?

12) Cal Ripken Sr (0-6 in '88), Phil Garner (0-6 in '02) hold record for the earliest firings in a season; You spend 6-7 weeks in spring training then can a manager a month into the season- its change for the sake of change, because you can't fire the players either, at least not too many of them.

11) Rangers 2, Astros 1-- Last night was first time this season Houston lost a game when they had a lead in that game.

10) Grady Jarrett played college football for Clemson, was drafted by Atlanta; his mom's house burned down during the draft Friday night. Seriously, it did. When Atlanta announced Jarrett's pick, former Falcon Jesse Tuggle was at the podium.......reading Jarrett's name- Tuggle is the young man's father.

9) First time I saw Jameis Winston play was Labor Day 2013, his first college game against Pitt. At one point in the first half, Winston was 11-11 passing and looked nothing like a freshman QB. I turned to my father, laughed and said, "He's the greater quarterback I've ever seen." No freshman was supposed to play that well- his NFL career is going to be fascinating to follow.

8) Winston's last college game was his first loss, 59-20 to Oregon in Pasadena; his first NFL game will be against the Titans in September. the opposing QB will be the same guy in both games; Marcus Mariota.

7) Buccaneers put a clause in Winston's contract where he is not allowed to play professional baseball for the length of his contract-- he can probably thank Russell Wilson for that one.

6) Tampa Bay joined the NFL in 1976; since then, they had 36 starting QBs in their mostly sordid 39-year history, the first of which was a guy you've heard of-- Steve Spurrier, who also was the team's punter.

5) Pirates had a brutal weekend in St Louis; three games, three extra-inning losses; there is a fine line for lot of these baseball teams. Middle relievers are often the key to keeping teams in games, but their performances are so erratic, it is why teams rise and fall so much from year to year.

4) I read about Randy Gregory's needs for a sponsor/support system for when he is away from the Cowboys and it sounds just like Josh Hamilton, and that sounds like trouble for Dallas. You can only have so many guys who are a distraction-- the Cowboys are approaching their limit.

3) Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas closed for good Monday, another old-time Las Vegas landmark that is no longer open. Every time I visit Vegas, there are new things to see and old things that can't be seen anymore.

Saw 1995 movie Leaving Las Vegas the other night; the hotels they showed as the hot spots aren't hot spots anymore-- some of them don't even exist now.

2) Sonny Gray had a weird game Sunday; he faced 31 batters- seven of them walked, 10 more struck out. It was like a Little League game-- 119 pitches is a lot for this time of year. Oakland's bullpen is so putrid that Bob Melvin is pushing his starters to go a little farther into games, to lessen the strain on the pen.

1) Cleveland's Cory Kluber was 18-9, 2.44 last year and won the Cy Young Award; this year he is 0-4, 4.62 in six starts, all Cleveland losses.

Rangers lose CF Martin to sprained wrist

HOUSTON -- The health of center fielder Leonys Martin is the first item on the Texas Rangers' mind heading into Tuesday night's game at Houston, attempting to win their second in row over the Astros.

Martin left Monday's game with a sprained left wrist after diving for a line drive in the third inning off the bat of Houston's Jose Altuve. Martin stayed in the game for a couple more innings, but had to depart when it was his turn to bat.

"When I grabbed my bat, it was a tough moment," said Martin. "I said, 'Skip, I can't swing.'"

After the game, Martin said, "I'm in a lot of pain right now."

X-rays were negative and manager Jeff Banister listed Martin as day-to-day.

Boston's Hanley Ramirez leaves game with shoulder sprain

BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox left fielder Hanley Ramirez left Monday night's game against the Tampa Bay Rays with a left shoulder sprain.

Ramirez, learning to play a new position, was injured as he ran down a drive by Tampa's James Loney. Ramirez had the ball in his glove but it popped out when he ran, glove-first into the padded barrier.

He appeared dazed and didn't react to the loose ball right away. After throwing it back in, with Loney at second, Ramirez bent over with his hands on his knees.

Red Sox personnel made their way out to him and Ramirez, who has a long history of injuries, walked off holding his left arm tight against his body.

Allen Craig replaced Ramirez in left field.

Mariners place CF Jackson on DL

The Seattle Mariners placed center fielder Austin Jackson on the 15-day disabled list Monday due to a sprained right ankle.

The team also recalled shortstop Chris Taylor, left-hander Joe Beimel and right-hander Mark Lowe from Triple-A Tacoma.

The Mariners had two open roster spots after sending right-hander Yoervis Medina and left-hander Tyler Olson to Tacoma on Sunday.

Jackson, 28, was injured Sunday in Houston while trying to beat out an infield grounder in the third inning. He stepped on the foot of pitcher Roberto Hernandez, who was covering first base.

Jackson is hitting .242 (23-for-95) with two home runs, four RBIs and 11 runs in 25 games this season.

Rays run red hot under streak to nine

The Tampa Bay Rays have gone under the total in nine consecutive games after topping the Boston Red Sox 5-1 Monday night.

The hot run is thanks to the Rays not being able to cross the plate regularly, but doing an even better job of keeping opponents from doing the same. The Rays are scoring just 2.7 runs per game over this nine-game stretch, but are only allowing 2.4 runs per game.

The streak has the Rays at 10-16 over/under for the season.

Game 2 of their three-game series with the Red Sox goes Tuesday night, with left hander Drew Smyly getting the call for the Rays and righty Rick Porcello going for Boston. The total is currently at 8.0.

Pitching remains sore spot for skidding Red Sox

BOSTON -- The Red Sox have lost four straight games. They have scored 10 runs in those four games, five of them in one inning on Sunday night.

The offense has been shaky, and Monday night, the team lost slugger Hanley Ramirez to a shoulder injury that doesn't appear too serious.

But the pitching continues to be the main problem.

Clay Buchholz wasn't horrible on Monday night. But he did put his team in an early 4-0 hole before going on to work 6 1/3 innings. When the smoke cleared, he had allowed five runs, the 10th time in 26 games the Boston starters have allowed at least five runs.

Buchholz is 0-4 since winning on Opening Day. His ERA is a robust 6.03.

"We can't think that going into every game we're going to put seven or eight runs up -- that doesn't happen in this league," said manager John Farrell. "We have to rely on a starting group that pitches more consistently."

Tuesday night, it's Rick Porcello's turn. He's coming off a strong start, but consistency hasn't been a strong suit for this rotation.
