Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

-- They drew 4,595 fans to Opening Night of NY-Penn League in Troy last night; an Eastern League game in Altoona drew 5,152. Minor league ball is affordable fun.

-- Colorado Rockies' starting pitchers have an ERA that is 2+ runs higher at home than on the road. Not sure how they'll ever fix that.

-- Tigers' OF JD Martinez broke his elbow Wednesday night when he ran into the wall chasing a double. Looked like a harmless play, but he is out 4-6 weeks.

-- Kolten Wong came back from AAA and is now a centerfielder; Cardinals have so many middle infielders, they made Wong an outfielder.

-- Bengals/Vikings will have joint practices for a couple days this summer; think that really helps, to practice against other teams instead of your teammates every day.

-- Michael Saunders had three homers, eight RBI for the Blue Jays last night.

**********

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind.......

13) NBA's salary cap will be around $94M next year, higher than expected, so the league is doing really well. Next time Steph Curry's wife wants to bitch about things, , maybe she should remember that Mr Curry brings home a huge chunk of that money, so she should keep her comments to herself.

12) I went to the eye doctor Friday and my eyes are dilated when I leave; luckily I have sunglasses in the car, which was huge or I might've been there until the sun went down. As I'm leaving, I'm thinking, this might be the most dangerous place in America to drive, an eye doctor's parking lot. Luckily, got home without incident.

11) Miami Marlins are skipping a Jose Fernandez start now and then, to preserve him as best they can, since he had an arm operation not that long ago. If the Marlins are a contender, will they ask Terry Collins to leave Fernandez off the All-Star team? If he is skipping starts now and then, why should he pitch in an exhibition game?

10) Young man named Derryck Thornton scored 7.1 ppg LY while playing 26 mpg for Duke, but he transferred to USC this week. Kid left high school a year early to plug a hole in Duke's rotation, then bolted after one year. Interesting.

9) Jose Altuve walked 33 times in 671 plate appearances last year; this year, he has walked 35 times in 269 PAs. He is still an aggressive hitter, too.

8) The mayor of Washington DC was on MSNBC yesterday, saying she wants DC to be the 51st state. Washington DC has balanced its budget 21 years in a row, which is very impressive, but if they're doing so well, why do they want to change?

7) Julio Urias struck out eight in five shutout innings last night, but the Dodgers are keeping a lid on his pitches this year, so he came out after 85 pitches. Home fans did not have a positive reaction when Milwaukee scored twice in the sixth inning.

6) Every person with the Pittsburgh Penguins gets a day with the Stanley Cup; you can basically do anything you want with it. One of the years Scotty Bowman won a Cup as a head coach, he put the thing on a lawn chair in his backyard and anyone who walked by could come behind the house and have their picture taken with it. One of the really cool traditions in sports.

5) Owner of the Chicago Cubs has done a great job making Wrigley Field look nicer and more modern; the team is doing great, so the stands are always full and that is always a help, but the owner has definitely created a positive atmosphere.

4) Pirates got shut out at Wrigley yesterday; they were the last team in majors to get shut out this season.

3) Nationals are 23-13 on the road; 0-4 in Wrigley, 23-9 everywhere else.

2) It makes no sense that Dodger games are blacked out in Las Vegas; who thought that was a good idea? Baseball should step in and reverse that. Makes no sense.

1) Six games in the NBA Finals; Warriors have scored 610 points, Cavaliers have scored 610 points. ABC will get huge ratings if Game 7 is a competitive one- so far in the Finals, the games haven't been very close.

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

HELLO TIMMY

Tim Lincecum is back in the big leagues and ready to make a comeback 9 1/2 months after left hip surgery. The right-hander starts for the Los Angeles Angels at Oakland in his first major league appearance in nearly a year. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner had surgery on Sept. 3 and didn't immediately sign with a team after concluding a $35 million, two-year deal with San Francisco last season. Lincecum said he is throwing all his pitches with confidence and isn't concerned with his velocity as long as he maintains a good rhythm. ''Definitely excited to be out here, nervous about being with a new team and kind of just showing what I've got and trying to live up to my own expectations,'' he said.

ACES APLENTY

Chicago Cubs left-hander Jon Lester goes for his fifth consecutive win when he faces the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field. Lester is 4-0 with a sparkling 0.59 ERA in four starts since he pitched just 2 2/3 innings in a 5-3 loss at San Francisco on May 21. He has allowed just one earned run in 24 innings in June. Also pitching on Saturday: Max Scherzer, coming off a dominant performance against the Cubs, tries for his fourth straight victory when Washington visits San Diego; and Arizona right-hander Zack Greinke takes a shot at his seventh consecutive win when the Diamondbacks take on the Philadelphia Phillies.

MAJOR LEAGUE RETURN

St. Louis second baseman Kolten Wong is looking for his first start since he returned to the majors on Friday after a brief demotion to Triple-A Memphis. The 25-year-old Wong batted .429 with four homers and 11 RBIs in seven games in the minors, including a game-winning grand slam. Wong lost his starting spot with St. Louis when Matt Carpenter moved from third base to second to accommodate Jhonny Peralta. Wong played some center field while he was with Memphis to add to his versatility.

WELCOME TO THE SHOW

Cody Reed makes his major league debut when he starts for Cincinnati at Houston. Reed joins Brandon Finnegan and John Lamb in the rotation after the Reds acquired the three pitchers in last year's trade that sent Johnny Cueto to Kansas City. The 23-year-old Reed, a second-round pick by the Royals in the 2013 draft, went 6-3 with a 3.20 ERA at Triple-A Louisville.

AP interview: Rose addresses on Ichiro's milestone
June 18, 2016

HOUSTON (AP) Pete Rose has plenty of respect for Ichiro Suzuki.

He simply doesn't understand why Ichiro's professional hits in Japan count toward his hit total if Rose's minor league knocks aren't considered part of his number.

Ichiro was honored this week when he reached 4,257 hits between the Japanese and North American major leagues, surpassing Rose's total from Major League Baseball. Rose is the all-time MLB hits leader with 4,256.

''If you're talking about professional hits, I've got 4,683 of them,'' Rose told The Associated Press on Friday night, adding his minor league total to his MLB record. ''Because I believe a professional hit, and I'm not talking about Ichiro now, but I think a professional hit is when you get paid to play ball and you get hits. I played two years and two months in the minor leagues, and so I've got a lot more professional hits than anybody.''

Ichiro added a hit on Friday night to give him 2,980 hits in MLB to go along with the 1,278 he accumulated for Orix in the Pacific League in Japan from 1992-2000.

When asked about Ichiro recently. Rose was quoted by USA Today as saying: ''the next thing you know, they'll be counting his high school hits.''

But Rose denied saying that on Friday.

''I didn't say the high school hits thing,'' he said. ''I would never say the high school hits thing because I've got high school hits, too. That's not any part of the discussion.

''The only thing I ever said is I don't understand why they want to count his professional hits and not my professional hits and it's only fair to say that.''

While irked that some believe Ichiro has more hits than him, he still raved about the Marlins' star overall.

''Ichiro's a Hall of Fame player, there's no question about it,'' said Rose, who is ineligible for the Hall of Fame over his admitted gambling on baseball. ''Of course, when you get 3,000 hits, which he'll get in the next couple of weeks, that's the ticket to Cooperstown. He's had a great career. He probably will go in our Hall of Fame, no question about it and he'll probably go in the Japanese Hall of Fame.''

The 75-year-old Rose said he'll applaud Ichiro when he reaches 3,000 hits, but he couldn't help but throw in his hit total one last time.

''Absolutely because he'll be the 30th guy to get 3,000. There's been two get 4,000 and I'm the only one you're going to talk to at the present time because the other one is Ty Cobb,'' Rose said with a smile and a chuckle.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there

13) First of all, Happy Father's Day to all the dads reading this; I was lucky to have a great dad. He passed away last year and I miss him very much, so if your dad is still alive, give him a hug and tell him you love him.

12) Get well soon to Michael Lee Aday, aka Meat Loaf; the 68-year old singer collapsed during a show in Edmonton this week. He was released from the hospital and is said to be in good condition now, which is very good news.

11) I'm watching NFL Network the other day and a guy is trying to make a big deal out of the fact that the Rams haven't named Jared Goff the #1 QB yet. Oy. It is really hard to be an NFL quarterback; rushing someone into starting can be very stupid.

10) Here are the Rams' first four games:
@ 49ers, Seahawks, @ Buccaneers, @ Cardinals.

Three road games, three division games. I'm a big fan of easing a guy into being the QB of the future, especially with the Cal offense being lot different than an NFL offense.

9) Kurt Warner started nine games for '04 Giants, before prize rookie Eli Manning took over. Giants went 1-7 in Manning starts, scoring 37 points in his first four starts; he was 6-21 in one start, 4-18 in another. Eli has turned out pretty well, but make no mistake about it, he was terrible in his rookie season.

Steve McNair started six games his first two years with Tennessee; he turned out to be a pretty good QB, too. Goff will be fine, but it will take time.

8) Brewers-Dodgers game last night was only second game in majors this year where both teams scored in each of the first three innings of the game. Red Sox-Orioles game on June 1 was the first game like that this season.

7) Wally Szczerbiak, who is a pretty good basketball analyst these days, predicted that there might not be anyone in this draft class who becomes an NBA All-Star.

6) Then there are mock drafts, which are fine if you do one; but once you start having new ones every other day, then you're just screwing around trying to get page views. Anyone can shuffle the top 15 names around; lets stick to one mock per analyst.

5) There was something on Twitter about the Warriors flying home after Game 6 and three of their guys are doing homework from online classes, trying to earn their college degrees. Pretty cool that really rich guys still want their degree.

4) One of the highlights this weekend was in San Diego, wehre they showed a guy playing ping pong outdoors, while wearing stilts. Don't see that every day.

3) If you owned one of the top five picks in the NBA Draft, would you trade it to the Lakers for D'Angelo Russell, after Russell's display of immaturity last year? I'd have to say no; you can't make mistakes when you have a top five pick.

2) Clipper coach Doc Rivers has quietly dumped two of his assistant coaches already; when you spend a ton of money on a team and it underachieves, heads will roll.

1) A person paid $99,000 for two tickets to tonight's Game 7 in Oakland. Wow.
