Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

— Apparently, Bubba Watson’s accountant is his caddy at the Olympics.

— Astros DFA’d Carlos Gomez, one of baseball’s least popular players who is also having a terrible year.

— Bronx Bombers are 0-8 in Luis Severino’s starts, outscored 49-11.

— Tigers’ 3B Nick Castellanos got hit by a pitch the other night and broke his hand, a big loss for Detroit.

— Georgia Tech’s AD left for the same job at Purdue, bad news for the Boilers’ football coach. ADs like to hire their own people. Purdue better win this year, or else…….

— Rich Hill hasn’t pitched for the Dodgers yet; Jharel Cotton threw 8.2 perfect innings for the A’s AAA team this week. Advantage, Oakland.

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

13) RIP John Saunders, who passed away this week at age 61. Saunders stood out because he had no shtick, he wasn’t a look-at-me, attention junkie like so many TV types today. He just did his job and did it really well– he did a lot of work with the Jimmy V charity and just seemed like a very nice man. A sad day. RIP, sir.

12) Ping pong was once known as “whiff whaff”; someone trademarked the name “ping pong” in 1901, then it became a financial issue as people started calling it table tennis instead. Just thought you’d like to know.

11) New York Mets are 0-11 in the game following their last 11 wins.

10) Josh Reddick is hitting .125 (4-32) since getting traded to the Dodgers.

9) Red Sox P Steven Wright will miss his next start because he jammed his shoulder while pinch-running (yes, pinch-running) against the Dodgers last weekend. That injury should reverberate all over baseball, a good starting pitcher getting hurt while pinch-running. Oy.

8) Odd Stat of the Day: Hector Santiago was traded from the Angels to the Twins couple weeks ago. Santiago has started 24 games this year; here are his stats, with Angels’ SS Andrelton Simmons playing behind him, or not:

15 starts with Simmons at SS: 9-1, 3.14
9 starts without Simmons at SS: 1-4, 8.62

I remember a spring training game this March, when Angels’ TV guys were gushing about Simmons’ defense. Santiago just seemed more comfortable with Simmons there, but now Santiago is in Minnesota and Simmons is still in Anaheim; we’ll see if this trend continues.

7) USA (-27.5) 98, Australia 88– Good ballgame; Aussies led 54-49 at the half, hung in until the very end- they COMPETE hard.

6) France 76, Serbia 75– Tony Parker hit go-ahead shot as France scored last six points of game. Not being able to call live-ball timeout made last 0:10 of this game chaotic. Big difference from NBA or college ball, where Serbia would’ve called TO and had ball with few seconds left to play.

5) Spain has seven NBA guys but still lost its first two Olympic games, by total of three points. No bueno.

4) Idea for a reality show– Divorce Court, where cameras would film the conferences with husband/wife, lawyers/judge in chambers. This would be tremendous TV, very solid entertainment. Guaranteed.

Long time ago I worked in a courtroom for a year; the absolute highlight of the job was first Friday of each month, when the divorce conferences would take place. Only 7 people in the room: judge, husband, wife, their lawyers, the court reporter and court clerk (me).

No way this wouldn’t be a great TV show; take my word for it.

3) A’s got wins by starting pitchers Graveman/Neal Monday/Tuesday, the first time they got wins by starting pitchers in consecutive games since May 29-30. That’s ten long weeks.

2) Funny conversation on Giants’ TV Wednesday, about the Hall of Fame and Brandon Crawford’s bat from Monday night, when he had seven hits. Turns out the HOF asked for Crawford’s bat; Giants’ TV guy Duane Kuiper said “No way!!!” when asked if he would willingly give up a bat he had just got seven hits in a game with. Athletes are superstitious.

1– Jerry Jones’ grandson is a junior QB at Highland Park HS in Dallas; he is one of three QBs competing for the starting job. John Stephen Jones wears #9, just like another QB in Dallas. Highland Park has won three state championships. HS football is serious business in Texas.
