Armadillo: Monday's six-pack
-- San Diego Padres signed six of the top 30 international prospects this weekend; Atlanta Braves signed five of the top 30.
-- Danny Espinosa had five HRs against the Reds this weekend, 15 RBI. Wow.
-- Arron Afflalo signed with Sacramento, his sixth team in nine years; he played for Denver two different times.
-- There were rumblings Sunday that Al Horford signed with Boston because he did not want to be on the same team as Dwight Howard in Atlanta.
-- Dodgers took Cuban P Yaisel Sierra off their 40-man roster, after giving him $30M five months ago- they've eaten a ton of money, between Sierra and Carl Crawford.
-- Lakewood Blue Claws, Class A farm team of the Phillies, drew 10,011 fans last night for a game that I assume was followed by a fireworks show.
**********
Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Happy 4th of July, everyone.......
13) Here are two big league stat lines; which career would you rather have?
Pitcher A: 6 years: 36-40, 4.10 ERA in 103 starts.
Pitcher B: 6 years: 129-47, 2.19 ERA in 211 starts
These stats actually belong to the same guy; first six years and second six years of Sandy Koufax' career. He was very ordinary until his seventh year in the big leagues, but once he got rolling, he was freakin' unstoppable.
12) NC State's basketball team cancelled its summer trip to Italy this year because of security concerns in Europe. College teams only get to take these trips once every four years- they say they'll try again for next summer.
11) Major league ballplayers take an average of 12-15 bats with them on road trips of a week or so. Major league bats cost around $100 apiece.
10) Chicago White Sox' last fifteen home runs have come with the bases empty.
9) Bud Norris pitched seven shutout innings in his last start for the Braves; he was traded to the Dodgers and threw six shutout innings in his first start for LA.
Norris is the first pitcher since 1906 to throw consecutive scoreless starts, in the same season, for two different teams.
8) Oregon PG Dylan Ennis transferred from Villanova couple years ago; he was hurt lot of last year, but he got a sixth year of eligibility from NCAA thsi past week, which should greatly help the Ducks next winter.
7) Washington Nationals took Stephen Strasburg out after 6.2 IP against the Reds Sunday, even though he was tossing a no-hitter. Strasburg had just come off the DL with a bad back and had thrown 109 pitches.
6) Chicago Cubs are 51-30, have a huge lead in NL Central-- they're 14-17 against teams with winning records, 37-13 against teams with .500 or lower records.
5) Mets signed Jose Reyes, presumably to play 3B and take Wilmer Flores' place, but Flores went 6-for-6 yesterday, only the second Met ever to get six hits in a game.
Reyes, by the way, is hitting .246 in the minor leagues, as he awaits his call.
4) Old-time baseball: Astros plunked Jose Abreu in the 7th inning, so in bottom of the 7th, Jose Quintana threw a pitch behind Evan Gattis. Risky business, considering it was a 2-1 Chicago lead at the time- you don't want Quintana ejected there.
Players kept their cool, so did the umps. Astros manager AJ Hinch lost it a little and got tossed, but that was probably because Quintana had retired 14 in row at the time.
3) If the playoffs started today.........
NL: Nationals-Cubs-Giants. Wild Card: Dodgers, Mets
AL: Orioles-Indians-Rangers. Wild Card: Red Sox, Tigers
2) From now on, anytime anyone busts my balls about something I screwed up in the past, my pat answer will be, "Hindsight is 20-20". Its a great answer, and if its good enough for weasel politicians, it is good enough for me.
-- How could you pick Fresno State to cover? "Hindsight is 20-20"
-- Why did you trade Victor Martinez off your fantasy team? "Hindsight is 20-20"
-- Why did you ever get married? "Hindsight is 20-20"
See? It fits all occasions.
1) Stay safe around fireworks, please. Don't need anyone getting hurt.Last edited by Udog; 07-04-2016, 09:14 AM. -

MLB betting cheat sheet: Tigers Roaring Back
The Detroit Tigers have now won six in a row and are just 5.5 games back of the Tribe in the American League Central.
Power Sports breaks down the best MLB betting notes so you can handicap every series like a pro coming out of the holiday weekend, including the Indians and Tigers headed for a showdown in the American League West.
Tigers Roaring Back
Once again, we start this column with the Cleveland Indians. But this time, it’s not all about them. The Detroit Tigers have now won six in a row and are just 5.5 games back of the Tribe in the American League Central. Problem is that the Motor City contingent is 0-9 vs. the Indians this season! The two division rivals meet again this week, in Cleveland. Their win streak finally halted at 14 games, the Tribe were humiliated Sunday, losing 17-1 to the Blue Jays (second straight loss). They do have the luxury of sending out Danny Salazar and Carlos Carrasco in the first two games of this series. But is Detroit really going to lose every game to them this season? Probably not.
Nothing Brewin’
One team you’ll probably want to stay away from this week is Milwaukee. The underdog prices might be tempting at Washington, and they did beat the Nationals two of three at home last week, but beware that this team is 0-10 this season as a road underdog of +175 or higher on the money line. They figure to be in that price range in every game this series, certainly on Monday vs. Max Scherzer, even though their own starter (Junior Guerra) has a 0.787 WHIP his last three starts. The Brew Crew just got swept in St. Louis over the weekend, so they’re not exactly in good form. This is the second straight bad team from the NL Central that the Nats welcome in. They just took three of four from the Reds, including a 12-1 win Sunday.
Lone Rangers
Texas has been the #1 money-earning team this season and it’s not even close. They are up 27.6 units and the #2 earner (San Francisco) is at +14.9. The oddsmakers figure to have them as underdogs against Boston this week and while that sounds tempting, I’m not entirely sold on the Rangers. While it may be true that they currently own the biggest division lead in all of baseball (yes, even bigger than the Cubs!), Texas has dropped two in a row (to Minnesota) and I’d be concerned that an 18-7 record in one-run games is due to regress. Their run differential is actually bested by four other AL teams, the Red Sox being one of them. There won’t be any Cole Hamels (lost Sunday) in this next series either.
Hitting Notes
* Mike Trout has been hitting really well of late, going 13 of 24 at the plate over the past week with nine runs scored and two home runs. Interestingly, he’s batted only three runners in.
* I was interested to find out what player had the best batting average in road games this season (had to have at least 130 AB’s). The answer, following a 3 for 5 night at the plate on Sunday, is the Marlins’ Martin Prado. He is now at .408 outside of Miami.
Pitching Notes
* Colorado’s Tyler Chatwood is set to return from the disabled list and looks to likely start Tuesday in San Francisco. Chatwood has been the Rockies best pitcher this season – clearly – and he’s probably loving the fact his first start back will be on the road. That’s because he’s yet to lose outside of Coors Field this year (5-0) thanks to a 1.25 ERA and 0.969 WHIP.
* Prior to wins by Johnny Cueto and Stephen Strasburg over the weekend, Baltimore’s Chris Tillman had been the most profitable starter to bet on in 2016 MLB. But, like the team, I’m not a real believer here. Tillman has a 3.71 ERA and 1.248 WHIP, not bad numbers per se, but certainly not indicative of someone that has a 14-3 team start record. Consider fading him Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.
Totals Trend
The Over is 8-0-2 in Cubs-Reds games this season. Those two teams begin a three-game series Monday at Wrigley Field.
Monday's Weather Report
* Nearly a 100 percent chance of rain in D.C. today for the early Independence Day matchup between the Nationals and the Milwaukee Brewers. There is a chance of a thunder shower later in the afternoon and will be a 5-10 mph wind blowing out to left field. The total today is set at 7.0.
* There is a chance of thunderstorms and a 50 percent chance of rain this afternoon in St. Louis where the Cards will host the division rival Pittsburgh Pirates. This game will also feature a 5-10 mph wind blowing out to right field. The total is set at 8.5.
* There is a 60 percent chance of rain this afternoon in Philadelphia for the game between the Phillies and the Atlants Braves. There may be a rogue thunderstorm late in the afternoon and a 10-15 mph wind blowing straight out to center field is in the forecast. The total is set at 8.5.
* Expect a nice hitter's wind in Queens this afternoon for the game between the Mets and the Miami Marlins. The forecast is calling for a 15 mph wind blowing directly out to center at Citi Field. The total is currently set at 7.5.Comment
