**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Mid-week musings……..

13) Angels 6, Rangers 5 (10)— Halos did it again; they trailed this game 5-0 in 7th inning, but won and are now 6-2 and atop the AL West. Angels scored seven runs in bottom of the ninth to stun the Mariners 10-9 on Sunday.

There have been 61 games already this season where a team trailed by 3+ runs in the ninth inning; Angels are 2-0, everyone else is 0-59.

12) Three years ago, December of 2013, my buddy Mike and I watched a Christmas tournament here in Las Vegas, at Bishop Gorman HS— Gorman’s third-string center was a sophomore named Zach Collins, who went on to play at Gonzaga this season, scoring 10 ppg in 17.2 mpg.

Now the young man is off to the NBA, following in the footsteps of his HS teammate Stephen Zimmerman, who played one year at UNLV and now plays for Orlando’s D-League team.

Wish the kid well, but I am skeptical this is the best thing for his development as a player- he only played 17.2 minutes/game this year, now all of a sudden he is a pro?

11) Sacramento’s Georgios Papagiannis got a technical foul last night; it was the Kings’ first technical foul since they traded DeMarcus Cousins February 20- they had been the only NBA team without a technical during that time.

10) Why did Tony Romo suit up for the Dallas Mavericks last night?

9) When Fred Couples won The Masters 25 years ago, he drove the ball 20 yards shorter than he did this past weekend, at age 57. Golf equipment has made golf courses a lot shorter.

8) Monday night, Washington Nationals were first big league team in four years to have an error from all four infield positions in the same game.

7) Buster Posey goes on the 7-day concussion DL; you wonder if he will wind up moving out from behind the plate to avoid more of this in the future, though this one came when he was batting, not catching?

6) If Erik Spoelstra wins NBA Coach of the Year and Miami misses the playoffs (they were 11-30 at one point), would that be the first time it ever happened?

5) Quinnipiac transfer Mikey Dixon signs on with St John’s; from what I read on the Interweb Tuesday, this is a good get for Chris Mullin’s team.

4) New Mexico hired its new basketball coach; Paul Weir, who comes from rival New Mexico State, which should make the two Lobo-Aggie games next season more interesting.

Weir has strong recruiting connections in Canada; Aggies will have their third coach in three seasons next year- -Marvin Menzies left Las Cruces LY to be the coach at UNLV.

3) Longest NFL playoff droughts: Buffalo 17 years, Cleveland 14 years, Rams 12 years.

2) I’m convinced that defensive shifts in baseball are overdone, especially early in innings vs players with excellent bat control. Why is it done so much? Maybe to justify the analytics people having their jobs- there have to be some pitchers who cringe about shifts. Behind closed doors, I’m guessing there almost has to be debate about the validity of shifting so much.

1— Matt Harvey left his start last night in the sixth inning with a tight hamstring; Mets led 10-2, so not sure if it was just a precaution, but the Mets need Harvey healthy this season.

Game of the Day: Astros at Mariners
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seattle's struggles against the Astros has it off to its worst nine-game start since the 2011 team also lost seven of nine out of the gate.

Houston Astros at Seattle Mariners (A: -125, H: +105, Total: 8.5)

At least from the Seattle Mariners' perspective, perhaps the best part of playing seven of their first 10 games against the Houston Astros is the fact they only will have to see George Springer 12 more times - at the most - over their final 152 contests. The major-league home run leader looks to continue his early domination of an American League West rival Wednesday, when the Astros visit the Mariners for the rubber match of their three-game series.

Springer entered this season with 11 home runs in 45 games against the Mariners - his highest total against any opponent - with eight coming at the historically pitcher-friendly Safeco Field. The No. 11 overall pick of the 2011 draft has accelerated that pace dramatically in 2017 by clubbing four homers in six meetings with Seattle - including three of his four leadoff homers through his team's first nine games of the season, which is a major-league record. Springer's league-best fifth blast came in Tuesday's 7-5 victory, although Houston needed a four-run sixth inning to give it enough cushion to withstand another shaky ninth by closer Ken Giles. Seattle's struggles against the Astros - the club has dropped four of the teams' six meetings thus far - has it off to its worst nine-game start since the 2011 team also lost seven of nine out of the gate.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Astros RH Mike Fiers (0-1, 1.50 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Yovani Gallardo (0-1, 5.40)

Fiers recorded a quality start in his season debut against Kansas City on Friday, yielding two runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks over six innings while extending his streak of not issuing more than three free passes to 35 consecutive starts. The Floridian posted a career-high 11 victories in 2016 in his first full season with Houston and was sharp in spring training as well (1-0, 1.98 ERA). Fiers picked up his only victory in three starts last year against the Mariners at Seattle, working six scoreless frames.

Gallardo took the loss in his season debut Friday versus the Los Angeles Angels, allowing three runs and eight hits while walking a pair over five innings on the road. The 2010 All-Star struggled last year in his only season with Baltimore (6-8, 5.42 ERA in 23 starts) and wasn't any better in spring training last month, going 0-2 with a 7.47 ERA in five exhibition outings. Gallardo has enjoyed more success versus Houston in his career than against any other team, however, posting a 15-5 record and 3.15 ERA in 22 starts.

TRENDS:

* Astros are 18-4 in their last 22 Wednesday games.
* Astros are 4-1 in Fiers' last 5 road starts.
* Mariners are 2-9 in their last 11 overall.
* Over is 7-1 in Fiers' last 8 road starts vs. a team with a losing record.

2. Seattle SS/OF Taylor Motter went 3-for-4 with three doubles Tuesday in his first start at shortstop in place of Jean Segura, who was placed on the disabled list earlier in the day with a strained right hamstring.
