Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Hawks 89, Celtics 72-- Favorites are 9-4 vs spread in NBA playoffs.

-- Spurs 94, Memphis 68-- If this series was a fight, it would've been stopped.

-- Blues 4, Blackhawks 3-- Chicago is in trouble, down 3-1 in series.

-- Ducks 3, Predators 0-- Road team won all three series games.

-- Lightning 3, Red Wings 2-- Tampa Bay grabs 3-1 series lead.

-- Penguins 3, Rangers 1-- Road team won all four NHL games last night.

**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings.......

13) Chicago Cubs are off to an 11-3 start; their starting pitching lasted at least six innings n all 14 games, which is huge, takes the strain off the bullpen.

Cincinnati is 7-7, despite it starting pitcher lasting 6+ innings four times.

12) Since 2010, the low-budget Tampa Bay Rays are 60-53 against the Boston Red Sox, 59-52 against the Bronx Bombers, their big money rivals.

11) Jacob deGrom is having a good week; his newborn has come home from the hospital after a medical scare last week and then deGrom threw 71 pitches in a simulated game Monday, meaning he probably avoids a stint on the DL.

10) Oakland A's won their fifth one-run game of the season last night; last year, they won their fifth one-run game of the season on June 16.

9) Big 14 Conference hasn't had a QB taken in the first round of the NFL Draft since Kerry Collins in 1995.

8) Lookalikes: New York City mayor Bill DeBlasio and Bills' coach Rex Ryan.

7) Over last three years, Florida State has had 13 players taken in first two rounds of the NFL Draft; next highest is Alabama, with ten.

6) The original Rocky was on last night, a great movie; hard to believe it is 40 years old. Can still remember sitting in the theater watching it for the first time; The theater I watched it in is long gone, replaced by a car delearship.

5) NHL teams with a 3-0 lead in playoff series are 179-4 in those series, but two of the four losses have come since 2010.

4) '85-'86 Celtics are the only NBA team to win consecutive playoff games by 30+ points; Spurs came close last night, beating overmatched Memphis by 26 in Game 2.

3) Bernie Sanders went to the same high school in Brooklyn as Chris Rock and the great actor Martin Landau.

2) North Carolina had 99 basketball practices this season; they played 40 games and had 99 practices. Spurs have played 84 games (not counting preseason games) this season. Wonder how many practices (not counting game day walk-thru's) they've had?

1) Its about time Major League Baseball got off its butt and made a decision on the Jose Reyes situation; criminal charges in Hawai'i were dropped three weeks ago, the Rockies are already 8-6 and Reyes hasn't even had his spring training yet. Reyes is still being paid, so the Rockies can't be happy and Reyes isn't happy, since he can't play. Make a decision already!!!!

Wednesday's Diamond Notes

April 20, 2016


Hottest team: Braves (won four straight)
The Braves ripped off their fourth straight win on Tuesday, continuing an impressive rebound from an 0-9 start to replace a Twins team that also followed up nine losses with four triumphs. Former Atlanta starter Alex Wood was greeted rudely at Turner Field as his ex-team plated a pair of runs against him in three of the first four innings, cruising to a 9-1 win in the series opener against the visiting Dodgers.

Catcher Tyler Flowers went 4-for-4 and drove in three, CF Mallex Smith had a career-high 3 RBI and LF Jeff Francoeur scored a pair and drove in two as the Braves won at home for the first time. While Freddie Freeman gets the most attention in the Braves batting order, multiple others have really gotten it going to key this offensive surge. Winless ace Julio Teheran is expected to take the mound against L.A. on Wednesday after he was scratched due to illness yesterday. The Dodgers counter with promising rookie Ross Stripling (0-0, 2.03).

Coldest team: Red Sox (lost three straight)
The Red Sox followed up a Patriots’ Day loss where they managed just one run over the first eight innings by failing to score in 10 against visiting Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Boston squandered an opportunity with the bases loaded and no one out in the third inning and never really threatened again. Rays pitching struck out 14 Red Sox batters and didn’t allow a hit after Jackie Bradley, Jr. singled to load the bases. The BoSox are 0-4 in '16 when scoring three runs or fewer.
Boston only scored once until the ninth inning in the first game of this current losing streak, so this funk is certainly lingering. Rays ace Chris Archer (0-3, 5.87) will look to keep Sox bats on ice in order to break through for his first win of 2016. David Ortiz has hit Archer hard, owning a .346 average, two homers and 11 RBI in just 26 career at-bats against him. Archer won his first start against the Red Sox as a rookie, but is 0-6 with a 5.12 ERA in the 10 starts he’s made since then. Rick Porcello (2-0, 5.11) will go for Boston, hoping to continue rebounding from a rough 15-loss season in 2015.

Hottest pitcher: Chris Sale, White Sox (3-0, 2.35 ERA)
Chicago's ace, one of the top left-handed pitchers in baseball, will look to be the first in all of MLB to four wins in this matinee against the Angels. Sale comes off a complete game two-hit shutout at Tampa Bay where he struck out nine and walked none. He's issued only three free passes in 23 innings thus far, striking out 23. He's 4-0 against the Angels in his career, sporting a 1.70 ERA. Mike Trout and Albert Pujols are a combined 5-for-28 against him, each homering once but striking out seven times.

Coldest pitcher: R.A. Dickey, Blue Jays (1-2, 6.75 ERA)
The veteran knuckle-baller hasn't been able to get through more than five innings in a single start, losing his last two decisions against the Red Sox. Dickey has been wild by his standards, issuing eight walks in just 14.2 innings and looking far more hittable at 41 years of age than he has since joining the Jays. Since joining AL East-based Toronto, he's 0-4 with a 4.68 ERA against the Orioles. Chris Davis is just 6-for-25 against Dickey, homering twice but striking out eight times.

Biggest UNDER run: Blue Jays & Red Sox (6-0 last six)
Toronto averaged 5.5 runs per game last season, but are plating 4.0 runs per game in 2016, scoring exactly that figure in Monday's 4-3 win at Baltimore. Boston was on board for the first four of Toronto's unders and has continued to struggle on this homestand as detailed above. After scoring at east six runs in five of their first six contests, the Red Sox haven't done so since.

Biggest OVER run: Braves (5-0 last five)
Atlanta has scored 26 runs (6.5 per game) over its current four-game winning streak, managing the explosion despite the fact they haven’t hit a single homer in that span. Atlanta is 4-0 since moving Nick Markakis into the leadoff spot, riding his hot bat since he’s reached safely in an MLB-best 25 consecutive games.

Matchup to watch: Diamondbacks vs Giants
Zack Greinke has yet to pick up a win for a Diamondbacks squad that signed him to a six-year, $206.5 million contract, but he did pitch well enough to help them hang around in a 3-2 win in San Diego last time out. He's owned the Giants over the last three years, going 7-0 with a 1.94 ERA. Greinke is 2-0 with an 0.90 ERA at AT&T Park in that span, striking out 22. Old friend Madison Bumgarner will be on the mound against Greinke. He's faced off with Clayton Kershaw twice and comes in 1-1 with a 4.50 ERA. Since going 0-3 against the Snakes in 2012, MadBum is 5-3 with a 1.87 ERA against them over the last three seasons.

Betcha didn’t know: The Pirates (-155) were upset in San Diego 5-4 on Tuesday, surrendering an early 3-0 lead. Despite the loss, Andrew McCutchen, Starling Marte and Gregory Polanco each stole a base, becoming the first entire outfield to do so in the same game this season. The steals were no match for the Padres' three home runs, nor the 3-for-15 hitting with runners in scoring position. Pittsburgh left 10 men on base, increasing its league-leading average of runners stranded to 9.2, a total of 129 over the first 14 games. Wasteful.

Biggest public favorite: White Sox (-150) vs. Angels

Biggest public underdog: Tigers (+100) at Royals

Biggest line move: Orioles (-108 to -125) at Red Sox

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

-- Cavaliers 107, Pistons 90-- Cleveland was 20-38 behind the arc.

-- Heat 115, Hornets 103-- Favorites are 12-4 vs spread so far in playoffs.

-- Clippers 102, Trailblazers 81-- LA held Lillard to 6-22 from floor.

-- Florid 3, NY Islanders 2-- Series heads south tied 2-2

-- Flyers 2, Washington 1-- Philly staves off elimination, at least for one night.

-- Sharks 3, Kings 2-- All four NHL games last night were decided by one goal.

**********

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

13) Cleveland traded the #2 pick in the NFL Draft to the Eagles, for two #1's, a second, third and fourth round draft picks. Browns cit seven starters during this offseason, so they need to re-stock their team. It also means they're going with Robert Griffin at quarterback, which should be interesting.

12) Not sure what the Eagles' new regime is doing; they're obviously going to take whichever QB the Rams do not take, so they must like both players to be OK with trading so many choices, when they don't know which QB it will be. Wonder what Sam Bradford thinks about all of this?

11) Last time the top two choices in the same draft got traded was 1997-- the #3 pick that year got traded too.

10) Carolina Panthers took the franchise tag off CB Josh Norman, making him a free agent; 49ers are rumored to be the team that can afford him that wants him the most.

9) Alabama's spring football game got better TV ratings Saturday than the NHL playoff games played that day.

8) Steve Spurrier would make a terrrific college football analyst, right? I'm hoping one of the networks signs him up so we can learn from him this fall.

7) Random prediction: Jose Reyes winds up as the shortstop for the Bronx Bombers. Reyes' contract and Trevor Story make Reyes expendable in Denver.

6) RIP Dwayne (Pearl) Washington, one of the Big East's first great players, who passed away too early this week at age 52. Washington was a playground in Brooklyn who became a terrific college player.

5) DeAndre Jordan committed a foul on the opening tap last night, before any time came off the clock; don't think I've ever seen that before.

4) Minnesota Timberwolves signed Tom Thibodeau to run their franchose, a smart move; I'm still disappointed he never showed up on TV this season-- would've been fun listening to him talk hoops. I'm wondering if any college programs approached him about coaching their team-- he is a basketball genius.

3) Over/under total for all three NBA games combined last night was 613.5; total wound up being 598, an easy win for the under.

2) Quote of the Day, part II: "Last time I hit was eight years ago."

That was A's pitcher Kendall Graveman, after the Oakland A's lost their DH for the fourth time in 15 games this season, this time because 3B Danny Valencia got hurt and DH Jed Lowrie had to take his place in the field.

1) Rough day for Andrew Jackson, who got taken off the front of $20 bills by the US Treasury, replaced by Harriet Tubman. Jackson moves to the back of $20 bills. It is amazing to me that there are people collecting a paycheck for deciding stuff like this.
