LEADING OFF: 'Utley Rule' draws ire, Ortiz climbing charts
April 6, 2016

A look at what's happening all around the majors today:

---

BY THE BOOK

Three days into the season, baseball's new ''Chase Utley Rule'' is already under fire. The new decree replaced Toronto's go-ahead run with a game-ending double play in the Rays' 3-2 win on Tuesday. ''Maybe we'll come out wearing dresses tomorrow,'' furious Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. ''Maybe that's what everybody's looking for.''

CHART CLIMBING

David Ortiz will move into sole possession of 26th place on the career homer list with his next long ball. Big Papi tied Hall of Famer Eddie Murray with his 504th homer Tuesday and also picked up his 585th double, matching Rafael Palmeiro for 17th place. Clay Buchholz and the Red Sox face Carlos Carrasco and the Indians.

POCKET ACE

Marlins star Jose Fernandez gets the ball in Miami's second game after he was passed over for Wei-Yin Chen on opening day. Miami said it pushed Fernandez off the opener to help limit his innings in his first full season back from Tommy John surgery. The 23-year-old threw 64 2/3 innings in his return last season.

SICK STUFF

Oakland's Sonny Gray finally makes his season debut against the White Sox after being scratched Monday because of food poisoning that sent him to the emergency room. Gray went 14-7 with a 2.73 ERA last season, when he had a bout of salmonella that hospitalized him for several days. This case wasn't considered nearly as serious, though the team said he had lost some weight.

FIRST LOOK

Japanese star Kenta Maeda gets his first start with the Dodgers after signing a $25 million, eight-year deal that could be worth $106.2 million if he stays healthy. Maeda averaged exactly 200 innings per year over his final seven seasons with Hiroshima while working in a six-man rotation. He'll oppose Andrew Cashner and the Padres in his first major league start.

COMEBACK KID

Tyler Chatwood's long road back to the majors concludes when the Colorado Rockies' right-hander starts against Arizona, his first big league appearance in two years. Chatwood, who underwent two Tommy John surgeries, looked strong this spring. The Diamondbacks counter with left-hander Patrick Corbin, who had his own Tommy John surgery in 2014. This season, he's been cleared of all restrictions.

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Wrigley Field's iconic marquee is scheduled to be installed after an offseason restoration that included structural repairs and cosmetic work. Restored statues of Ron Santo, Billy Williams and Harry Caray were installed Monday outside the Cubs' ballpark in Chicago. The Ernie Banks statue is scheduled to be reinstalled on Friday. The work is part of an ongoing multiyear transformation of the ballpark and surroundings that includes a new home clubhouse this season.

FAMILIAR FACES

The finale of the season-opening series between Seattle and Texas will feel like the end of a family reunion for several Mariners. New manager Scott Servais said the Rangers started his ''second career'' in player development. Bench coach Tim Bogar also spent time in the Texas organization, initially replacing Ron Washington when the franchise's winningest manager resigned suddenly late in the 2014 season. Seattle DH Nelson Cruz became a star slugger as the Rangers went to the World Series in 2010 and 2011, and Leonys Martin spent his first three full seasons with Texas before an offseason trade. Joaquin Benoit was in the Texas bullpen for eight seasons starting in 2001.

DECISION TIME

Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said he expects to rule soon on possible discipline for Colorado Rockies shortstop Jose Reyes regarding an offseason incident with his wife. Hawaii prosecutors dropped charges last week and said his wife was not cooperating. Reyes is currently suspended with pay under baseball's new domestic violence policy.

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Odds to win the college football national title this coming year.......

6-1-- Alabama-- What else is new? When in doubt.......

7-1-- Oklahoma/Clemson-- Tigers are breaking in a new QB.

10-1-- Ohio State/Michigan-- Year 2 of the Harbaugh era in Ann Arbor.

12-1-- Baylor-- Hopefully their players will be healthier this season.

15-1-- Notre Dame/Florida State/Tenessee/LSU

25-1-- Michigan State-Ole Miss-Stanford

**********

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

13) Dodgers 7, Padres 0-- San Diego is first team ever to get shut out in its first three games of a season- they've been outscored 25-0 and if I was a Padre fan, it would tough for me not to think the season was over already.

If ever a team needed a series at Coors Field, it is the Padres- they play the Rockies in Denver starting Friday.

12) Dodgers are first team since the 1963 Cardinals to open a season with three straight shutouts- the '43 Cardinals started season with 26 consecutive scoreless innings. Alex Wood gets the nod or LA against the Giants tonight.

11) Colorado's rookie SS Trevor Story has four HRs in his first three games; he is the first player EVER whose first four big league hits were all home runs and he hasn't played at Coors Field yet.

10) Victor Martinez didn't start either game in Miami because they don't the DH in NL parks, but he pinch-hit in both games and homered both times, once rghty and once lefty. Pretty impressive.

9) Since John Hart took over the Atlanta Braves after the 2014 season, they've made 28 trades involving 89 players.

8) I still don't understand why pitchers bat 8th; it is nonsensical, but if Reds are going to bat their pitchers 8th, then they have to bat Joey Votto leadoff, right? He needs to get as many at-bats as possible on a bad team.

7) Yesterday was first time since May 9, 2014 that Miami Marlins, had both Jose Fernandez and Giancarlo Stanton in the same lineup on the same day.

6) Back when the Milwaukee Brewers played at outdoor County Stadium, when the Brewers hit a homer, mascot Bernie Brewer slid down a slide into a huge fake beer mug- it was very cool. Since the Brewers moved into a domed stadium, Bernie slides down a slide onto a ramp-- no fake beer mug.

Why? The damn ballpark is named Miller Park, as in Miller beer!!!!!

5) Arizona Diamondbacks loaded the bases 13 times in three games against the Rockies this week, thats an ominous nimber for a team with very shaky pitching.

4) Aubrey Dawkins transfers from Central Florida to Michigan, where he will play for his dad, former Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins, who is now at UCF.

3) Trump Hotel in Las Vegas doesn't have a casino in it.

2) Former Florida QB Will Grier transfers from the Gators to West Virginia, where he will be eligible to play starting in 2017.

1) Philadelphia 76ers finally put GM Sam Hinkie out of his misery, firing him and letting him say he "resigned", which he did in a 13-page, 7,000 word document that hopefully will guarantee he never gets another job in pro basketball.

This overeducated nitwit screwed up the Sixers so badly- he spent a first round pick on Joel Embiid, who played 23.1 mpg in his entire 28-game college career, his only season ended early by a sore back. He has yet to play one minute in the NBA.

Why did this tick me off? Because I never played college basketball, so I root for guys who rose thru the ranks and got great jobs. Hinkie has set back the cause of people like this ten or twenty years.
