Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

Six of the my favorite baseball announce teams to listen to on the baseball package

-- Brian Anderson/Bill Schroeder, Brewers

-- Victor Rojas/Mark Gubicza, Angels

-- Don Orsillo/Mark Grant, Padres

-- Dick Bremer/Bert Blyleven, Twins

-- Drew Goodman/Jeff Huson or Ryan Spliborghs, Rockies

-- Jason Bennetti/Steve Stone, White Sox

Other analysts I think are very good: Ron Darling (Mets), Bob Brenly (Arizona) and Ray Fosse (A's). Not that fond of their play-by-play partners, though.

**********

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

13) Milwaukee Brewer TV announcers were telling a story about last July 31, when the Mets/Brewers almost made a trade at the deadline. Milwaukee brass told Carlos Gomez he had been traded to the Mets, he was shaking hands with teammates, saying his goodbyes but then the trade fell through.

12) Mets wound up trading for Yoenis Cespedes instead, which worked out really well for them, as they got to the World Series. Gomez wound up getting dealt to the Astros, where he has struggled greatly.

11) As far as baseball eliminating the four pitches for the intentional walk, last year in the major leagues there were 951 intentional walks in 2,430 games, so eliminating those four pitches isn't going to be a huge time-saver.

10) Ichiro Suzuki had his 253rd game with 3+ hits last night, most amongst active players. Ichiro now has 2,954 hits in his 16 big league seasons.

9) I've got no idea why, but people in Chicago do not like ketchup on hot dogs. White Sox announcers were discussing this the other night and back in 2003, a friend of mine actually got mad at me for asking for ketchup at a Chicago hot dog stand.

I dislike mustard and relish but if I knew the ketchup was going to cause a problem, I would've eaten the weiner plain.

8) A batter who hits a sacrifice fly isn't charged with an at-bat, but a batter who knocks in a run with a ground out is-- why is this? Whats the difference?

7) Marlins 3, Nationals 2-- Washington had bases loaded, no one out in ninth inning but couldn't tie game. Miami is now 3.5 games behind Washington in NL East.

6) Jim Baron is retiring as basketball coach at Canisius at age 62; he has been a very good coach at a number of places: Canisius, St Bonaventure, URI, St Francis, PA.

Few years ago, I was sitting in front of coach Baron at an AAU tournament here in Albany- his son was playing. It was a close game against a local team, and at the end of the game, the hometown refs gave the local team a couple calls and they won.

Coach Baron had been pretty low-key during the game but when his son's team got hosed at the end and lost, he was steamed and he went after the offending ref to give him a piece of his mind. He did quickly and fairly quietly but believe me, the guy who made the calls deserved to get ripped.

Anyway, good luck in retirement coach. Canisius will miss you. .

5) 164 undergraduates declared for this year's NBA Draft; many have returned to college, but there are only 60 picks in the draft, so add in seniors and kids from other countries and a lot of kids are going to wind up very disappointed.

4) Toronto's Bismack Biyombo is going to make a fortune as a free agent this summer and when he does, remember this: last night in Game 3 against Cleveland, Biyombo had 15 rebounds before he took his first shot of the game. Guys like that are worth their weight in gold, if you want to have a winning team.

3) Jack McDowell threw 10+ complete games three years in a row, the last pitcher to do that and that was back in 1991-93. Will probably never happen again.

2) Major league baseball wants more balls in play; approximately 30% of plate appearances are ending in walks/strikeouts. Baseball's head honchos want more action, so they're going to raise the strike zone some, hoping it'll result in more balls put in play, which makes the game more interesting. We'll see how that goes.

1) RIP Alan Young 96, the actor who played Wilbur Post on the classic TV show Mr Ed, passed away this week. It is not easy to be a straight man for a talking horse; that was one of my favorite TV shows as a kid. Yes, I said a talking horse, but he only talked to Wilbur, which caused problems with Wilbur's wife Carol.

Just loved Mr Ed, whether he was driving a delivery truck or taking batting practice against Sandy Koufax (yes, Koufax tossed a meatball to a horse, with manager Leo Durocher watching). Spent many hours laughing with this show. RIP, sir.

LEADING OFF: Bradley's 26-game hit streak, Braun recovering
May 22, 2016

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

HIT MACHINE

Jackie Bradley Jr. will take a 26-game hitting streak for Boston into the series finale at Fenway Park against Cleveland righty Danny Salazar (4-2, 1.80 ERA). Dom DiMaggio set the Red Sox record of a 34-game hitting streak in 1949.

BACK AT IT?

Brewers OF Ryan Braun could return to face the Mets after missing four games with a stiff back. He was feeling better on Saturday, and manager Craig Counsell said Braun ''definitely took a step in the right direction.'' Braun is batting .364 with seven homers and 28 RBIs in 35 games this season.

BIG ARM RETURNS

Top Cardinals pitching prospect Alex Reyes will make his first start of the season at Triple-A Memphis after serving a 50-game suspension for a positive marijuana test. The 21-year-old right-hander has one of the strongest arms in the minor leagues and struck out 151 batters in 101 1/3 innings across three levels last season.

CHECKUP

The Rays might find out more about center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, a day after he broke his left hand trying to make a diving catch at Detroit. Regarded as one of the top defensive outfielders in the majors, he broke his glove hand. Tampa Bay hasn't yet said how long he'll be sidelined.

TRYING AGAIN

Yankees righty Michael Pineda (1-5, 6.60 ERA) has lost a career-worst five straight decisions going into his start at Oakland.

Cubs, Giants conclude series
May 21, 2016


CHICAGO CUBS at SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS

First pitch: Sunday, 8:00 p.m. ET
Sportsbook.ag Line: Giants -125, Cubs +105, Total 7 (Over -110, Under -110)

Game 1: Cubs 8 Giants 1

Game 2: Giants 5 Cubs 3

Kyle Hendricks and the Cubs take on Madison Bumgarner and the Giants in the series finale at AT&T Park on Sunday night.

The first-place Cubs are the best team in baseball right now, but as talented as they are, they’ll have their work cut out for them when they face Giants ace Madison Bumgarner (5-2, 2.45 ERA, 71 SO, 18 BB, 6 HR in 58 2/3 IP) on Sunday night in San Francisco.

The 26-year-old is coming off a complete-game win over the Padres in which he allowed just one run on five hits and struck out 11 without walking a batter.

The left-hander has won four of his last five decisions, and the Giants have won all five of those games. In nine starts this season, Bumgarner has allowed two earned runs or less seven times. He hasn’t allowed more than four runs in a start all season.

He’ll be opposed by Cubs RHP Kyle Hendricks (2-3, 3.51 ERA, 37 SO, 9 BB, 2 HR in 41 IP) in the finale. Hendricks struggled in his last start, allowing four earned runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings pitched against the Brewers.

He’s been very solid for the most part, however, having only allowed four earned runs in two of his seven starts. Neither Bumgarner nor Hendricks have faced these teams in 2016.

The Cubs have had trouble hitting Bumgarner—just as the rest of the league has since he made his major league debut in 2009.

CF Dexter Fowler has gone 8-for-31 with a triple and an RBI against him, RF Jason Heyward has gone 3-for-15 with a homer and five RBIs, C Miguel Montero has gone 6-for-32 with a double, two RBIs and eight strikeouts, and 1B Anthony Rizzo has gone 3-for-13 with six strikeouts. The only Cub with really good numbers against the former World Series MVP?

2B Ben Zobrist, who is 5-for-6 lifetime against him with a double, a triple, an RBI and a walk. Bumgarner beat the Cubs in his lone start against them last year, on August 27.

He allowed one earned run on two hits in six impressive frames, striking out 12 and walking two.

Righties are hitting .240 against Bumgarner, while lefties are hitting just .171. In five home starts this season, Bumgarner is 2-1 with a 2.14 ERA in 33 2/3 innings pitched.

No one on the Giants’ roster has more than six career at-bats against Hendricks. 1B Brandon Belt has seen the ball well against him, going 3-for-5 with a homer, a triple and two RBIs.

RF Hunter Pence is 2-for-2 lifetime with a walk against the 26-year-old, and C Buster Posey and CF Denard Span each have a pair of hits off him in six at-bats.

Hendricks faced the Giants twice last season. In his first start against them, on August 8 at Wrigley Field, he earned the win after allowing three earned runs on five hits in 5 1/3 innings.

The Dartmouth alum faced San Francisco later that month at AT&T Park and didn’t have as much success. He gave up four earned runs on five hits and three walks in six innings and took the loss.

Lefties are hitting .234 against Hendricks; righties are hitting .221. In three road starts this season, Hendricks is 1-2 with a 5.19 ERA in 17 1/3 innings pitched.

Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

Odds on six of the NFL's more interesting games this fall...........

-- Week 2-- Eagles @ Bears (-3)-- Monday night in Windy City.

-- Week 3-- Falcons @ Saints (-1)-- Monday night on Bourbn Street.

-- Week 4-- Dolphins @ Bengals (-6.5)-- Thursday night in Queen City.

-- Week 5-- Bucs @ Panthers (-8.5)-- Monday night in Charlotte.

-- Week 6-- Jets @ Cardinals (-6)-- Monday night in the desert.

-- Week 7-- Texans @ Broncos (-3.5)-- Osweiler against his old team.

**********

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

13) Blue Jays manager John Gibbons had an interesting week;
Sunday: ejected, Monday: ejected.
Tuesday-Thursday: suspended in connection with Sunday's ejection
Friday/Saturday: He actually managed the whole game both days.
Sunday: ejected-- good work if you can get it.

12) Washington Nationals played 13 of their first 44 games against Miami; now the teams will play only six more times the rest of this season. .

11) Albuquerque Isotopes are the Rockies' AAA team; they're having a bad year, losing six games in a row and 10 of last 12.

Things are so bad that the team employee who wears the "jar of salsa" costume during the Chile Race promotion pulled a leg muscle this weekend nad is now out of action.

10) From 2013-15, Hillary Clinton made 94 speaking engagements, earned $21.6M doing so. Thats million, with an M. Yikes.

9) Phil Mickelson agreed to forfeit nearly $1 million that the Securities/Exchange Commission said was unfairly earned on a tip from an insider trading scheme run by a former corporate director and a professional gambler.

Who plays Mickelson in the movie that will inevitably be made about this?

8) Thunder 133, Warriors 105-- This makes Game 4 a very interesting game. if the Spurs/Warriors go a combined 140-24 in the regular season and neither makes the NBA Finals, teams will be resting players constantly next season. No bueno.

7) I'm sitting here watching the 1995 movie Jury Duty, a movie so stunningly bad that I can't turn it off. For some reason, Dick Vitale was in this movie as a TV leegal analyst, basically playing his TV role, yelling and screaming. 21 years later, this movie is still on pay TV-- is this a great country or what?

6) I was watching the 1991 movie Forget Paris the other night, where Billy Crystal is an NBA ref; in the opening scene, he makes a critical call in a playoff game against the Phoenix Suns, who had Charles Barkley, Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle.

25 years later, Barkley is the best studio analyst the NBA has; Majerle is the coach at Grand Canyon College an up-and-coming D-I team and Johnson somehow is mayor of Sacramento, where he has saved the NBA's Kings from moving several times.

Real life is often stranger than fiction.

5) Then there is the 1973 movie "World's Greatest Athlete", where Seahawk coach Pete Carroll had an untitled role as a college football player. Also in this fine movie are the guy who played Mr Whipple in the old Charmin TV commercials, the guy who played General Burkhalter on Hogan's Heroes and former Viking QB Joe Kapp.

4) Why do the Texas Rangers want a new stadium? The one they play in is only 22 years old- teams should have to stay at least 40 years in a new stadium.

3) Tim Lincecum signed with the Angels for $2.5M; Halos are in even worse shape than the A's- their payroll is $164,673,333, compared to Oakland's $86,806,234.

2) While I am on this subject, the A's are 19-26 this year with a starting pitching rotation that is totally in shambles with Sonny Gray ineffective/hurt. After making the playoffs in 2012-14, the Ivy League genuses in the Oakland front office decided to trade Yoenis Cespedes for Jon Lester so they could win the 2014 World Series. The plan failed.....miserably.

109-154, thats the A's record since July 31, 2014- they pay Billy Butler $10M a year, Jed Lowrie $7M, Coco Crisp $11M. People talk about Moneyball all the time, but the 2001-03 A's were good for three reasons-- Hudson, Mulder, Zito. Starting pitchers.

Without solid starting pitchers (6+ innings most every night) your team has absolutely zero chance to contend. None. Pitching is the most critical element in baseball.

1) Congratulations to my friend Gary DiNola for being inducted into the Upstate New York Basketball Hall of Fame last night. I spent four years (1994-98) as one of his assistants and it one was one of the most interesting/fun eperiences of my life.
