Saturday’s 6-pack

— Pirates have 14 new players on their 25-man roster this season.


— During the 7th inning of the Braves-Rockies game, it was 24 degrees in Denver.


— Orioles 7, New York 3 (14)—- Pedro Alvarez hit a grand slam in the 14th.


— 76ers 132, Cavaliers 130— Philly led by 30 points at one time, hung on.


— Shohei Ohtani was 4-32 in spring training; he might’ve been playing possum. He’s homered in his last three games.


— Indians 3, Royals 2— Only 4th game in last four years where both teams scored in first inning, then neither team scored again.


Quote of the Day
“I guess the computers are making [the lineup], I don’t know. I don’t get any of it but what can I do? I’m not going to complain about it because I have zero power. I’m just letting it ride.”
Phillies OF Nick Williams, who started only 2 of the Phillies’ first 6 games


Saturday’s quiz
What is the capital of Florida?


Friday’s quiz
A’s played in Kansas City from 1950-67, until they moved to Oakland in 1968; the Royals started play in ’69.


Thursday’s quiz
Clayton Richard of the Padres was once a backup QB at Michigan.

Saturday’s List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind…..


13) Did you ever want to compete in the Nathan’s hot dog eating contest on July 4 in Brooklyn? Here is your chance, if you’re going to be in Las Vegas three weeks from now.


The Nevada qualifier for the annual July 4th International Hot Dog-Eating Contest is at 3 pm on Saturday April 28. The event will take place at New York-New York Hotel and Casino.


“The launch of the annual Nathan’s Famous hot dog-eating contest circuit signals the arrival of summer. Some of the most accomplished eaters in the world will compete at this event, but we also are seeking new talent in Las Vegas to represent our nation on the most patriotic day of the year.”
Scott Harvey, executive vice president of Nathan’s Famous.


12) If you owned a baseball team worth around a billion bucks, would you let a 30-year old who was a sportswriter in college run the show? Nah, me either, but Milwaukee hired David Stearns as its GM when he was 30.


Theo Epstein and Texas GM Jon Daniels got GM jobs when they were 28; I don’t get it. Because Epstein has won titles with the big market Red Sox/Cubs, now everyone is searching for the next Theo.


The battle between old school thinking and the analytics movement continues, but right now, the analytics movement has the upper hand, as far as hiring goes.


11) Lebron James is leading the NBA in minutes per game; he led the league in minutes played last year, too. Not bad for a 32-33 year old. Great, great player.


10) Dodgers-Giants were rained out in San Francisco last night, just 6th rainout at AT&T Park and the first since Astros-Giants were rained out on April 12, 2006.


9) The world’s largest Steak ’n Shake opened at Hooters Casino in Las Vegas Friday. There is also a good Steak ’n Shake at SouthPoint Casino. Steak ’n Shake is tremendous.


8) One of the most underrated parts of a football coaching staff is the strength coach; players spend so much time getting stronger- they do it year round, so lot of times, they spend more time with the strength coach than their position coach.


Tennessee Titans strength coach Steve Watterson is retiring after 32 years with the team; he was the longest-tenured strength coach in the NFL.


7) 26% of money bet on NHL futures in Las Vegas this season is on the Golden Knights, so you know casinos will be rooting against the home squad when they playoffs start.


6) Colorado Rockies’ TV announcer Ryan Spilborghs played seven years in the major leagues, made roughly $5M playing ball for the Rockies— he said on the air Friday that he still needs to pass one Spanish class to get his degree from Cal-Santa Barbara.


5) Surprising fact: Coors Field in Denver is the 3rd-oldest stadium in the National League.


4) Never saw this before: Lucas Duda was hitting in the first inning Friday for the Royals- he swings at a pitch, loses the grip on his bat and it flies out of his hands and winds up on the netting behind the plate.


3) Not only has the Big 14 not won a college basketball national title since 2000, seven different Big 14 teams (half the damn league!!!!) has lost in the national championship game since then.


2) According to the Cincinnati Reds’ PR people, Joey Votto has never gone more than 15 at-bats without reaching base safely.


1— I had no idea the Secret Service has to pay for golf carts to do its security work when Donald Trump plays golf— I figured they’d be comped, since you know, they’re protecting the guy who owns the golf course. Secret Service has shelled out over $200,000 in cart fees since Trump has been President. Oy.

Saturday, April 7


Streaking and slumping starters

Streaking: Ian Kennedy, RHP Kansas City Royals (0-0, 1.50 ERA, -1.08 units)

The Royals’ relievers spoiled a solid season debut for Kennedy, who worked six innings, striking out five batters, and giving up only one run on four hits in a ND to the White Sox. The right hander had a good spring session, with a 2.50 ERA and 23 Ks over 18 innings of tune-up baseball. The Under is 4-0 over his last four starts and 5-0 in his last five road starts heading into Saturday’s game against Cleveland, with KC priced as +195 road pups.

Slumping: Chris Tillman, RHP Baltimore Orioles (0-1, 9.00 ERA, -1.00 units)

Tillman can’t seem to shake 2017, in which he went 1-7 and posted a beefy 7.84 over 24 apperances (19 starts). The Orioles right hander was just as bad in his 2018 debut, getting hit for four runs on seven hits and walking four through only four innings in a 6-1 loss to Houston. He didn’t look great in spring ball and going back to last season, Baltimore is 0-6 in Tillman’s last six road starts. He stares down the Bronx Bombers' loaded lineup Saturday afternoon, with the O’s set at +200.

Saturday’s top trends

* The Rays (+150) are 5-12 in the last 17 meetings in Boston.
* Under is 18-7-4 in Arizona RHP Zack Greinke’s last 29 starts overall (7 vs. St. Louis)
* Under is 5-2 in Los Angeles LHP Rich Hill’s last seven starts vs. Giants (7.5)
* The Pirates are 6-1 in RHP Chad Kuhl’s last seven home starts (-120 vs. Cincinnati)
* The Over is 23-7-1 in the last 31 meetings between the A’s and Angels in Los Angeles.
* The Twins are 8-0 in RHP Jose Berrios' last eight home starts (-160 vs. Seattle).

Weather watch

There’s a 10.74-mph cross wind blowing toward center-right field at Fenway Park when the Red Sox host the Rays this afternoon. Boston starter Rick Porcello is one of the top flyball pitchers in baseball with a GB/FB ratio of 0.67 (10th in the majors) last season. The total for this game opened 9.5 and is down to 8.5 runs.

Ump to watch

Bill Welke makes his second appearance behind home plate this season and is known as one of the better Over umps in the bigs. He finished with a 19-12 Over/Under record in called games in 2017 and has a combined 55-30 Over/Under record from 2015 to 2017 – a 65 percent Over winner. The total has gone Over in five of his last seven games behind home plate, heading into Saturday’s game at Coors Field. The total for this game is at 11.5 runs.

Red Sox beat Rays 10-3 for 7th straight
April 7, 2018

BOSTON (AP) Xander Bogaerts hit the first grand slam for Boston since the end of the 2016 season and drove in a career-best six runs to carry the Red Sox to a 10-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday for their seventh straight victory.

J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers homered for Boston, and Rick Porcello (2-0) pitched into the eighth inning.

This is just the second time in franchise history that the Red Sox have lost their season opener and won the next seven. The other came in 1904 when Boston captured the AL pennant.

The Rays have lost seven straight and are off to their worst start ever after rallying for a win at home over the Red Sox on opening day.

Bogaerts hit a two-run double in Boston's four-run first. In the second, his second career slam completely left Fenway Park over the Green Monster and came after Jake Faria (0-1) walked the bases full.

PHILLIES 20, MARLINS 1

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Maikel Franco and Aaron Altherr each hit a grand slam and Carlos Santana and Jorge Alfaro also went deep as Philadelphia routed Miami.

Vince Velasquez (1-1) allowed one run and four hits, striking out six in six innings.

Franco finished with six RBIs after just missing another homer when his two-run double hit high off the left-center field wall. He has driven in 10 runs in the past two games.

Santana's shot to deep right field was his 1,000th career hit.

Marlins left-hander Dillon Peters (1-1) gave up nine runs and nine hits in 2 2/3 innings. Miami catcher Bryan Holaday tossed a perfect eighth, fanning cleanup hitter Rhys Hoskins on a 62 mph pitch to end the inning and earn smiles from teammates in the dugout.

METS 3, NATIONALS 2

WASHINGTON (AP) - Asdrubal Cabrera hit an RBI double and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning, helping the Mets beat the Nationals for their fourth straight win despite Bryce Harper's fifth homer.

Dave Martinez was ejected for the first time as a manager as the NL East champions lost their fourth consecutive game to fall to 4-4. Washington's rookie skipper put on quite an old-school show, too, throwing his cap and kicking at the dirt near home plate when he was tossed by umpire Marty Foster in the third.

Harper gave Washington a 2-1 lead with a leadoff drive against Hansel Robles (1-0) in the sixth. But the Mets responded with two in the seventh against Brandon Kintzler (0-1).

Jeurys Familia, New York's sixth pitcher, recorded five outs for his fourth save.

CARDINALS 5, DIAMONDBACKS 3

ST. LOUIS (AP) - In the coldest home start in Cardinals history, Jose Martinez homered and drove in four runs as St. Louis stopped Arizona's four-game winning streak.

It was 37 degrees at game time with a wind chill of 29. The previous recorded low in St. Louis was 38 degrees for the first pitch on April 16, 1961, against Cincinnati.

Michael Wacha (1-1) outpitched Zack Greinke (1-1) despite matching a career high with five walks in the chilly weather. Four of Wacha's walks came in the first two innings.

Both starters went five innings. Bud Norris struck out the side to earn his first save of the season.

CUBS 5, BREWERS 2

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Ian Happ hit a tiebreaking two-run single during Chicago's four-run ninth.

Happ struck out three more times, running his team-high total to a whopping 17 in seven games, before coming with a clutch swing in his final at-bat. With one out and the bases loaded, he dumped a 0-1 pitch from Jacob Barnes into left-center to give the Cubs a 4-2 lead.

Barnes (0-1), who was filling in for injured closer Corey Knebel, was charged with four runs, two earned. He was hurt by errors on shortstop Orlando Arcia and third baseman Travis Shaw.

Pedro Strop (2-0) got two outs for the win and Brandon Morrow worked the ninth for his first save since signing with the Cubs in the offseason.

YANKEES 8, ORIOLES 3

NEW YORK (AP) - Sonny Gray pitched six effective innings and rookie Miguel Andujar hit a tiebreaking sacrifice fly, leading the Yankees to the win.

New York broke a 3-all tie in the sixth on Andujar's sacrifice fly, scoring Didi Gregorius with his first RBI of the season.

Austin Romine hit a soft pop to shallow right later in the inning that bounced out of first baseman Chris Davis' glove, allowing Tyler Austin to score and chasing Chris Tillman (0-2).

The day after the Yankees used eight pitchers in an extra-inning marathon, Gray (1-0) gave his team some much-needed length. He was charged with three runs and four hits.

ROYALS 1, INDIANS 0

CLEVELAND (AP) - Lucas Duda homered off Trevor Bauer for the game's only run, and Ian Kennedy pitched six shutout innings for the Royals.

Duda's shot in the seventh off Bauer (0-1) was one of only three hits by Kansas City and a rare highlight as the teams survived nine innings with the temperature hovering around freezing.

Kennedy (1-0) allowed four hits, walked none and struck out eight. Kelvin Herrera worked a perfect ninth for his second save.

The temperature was 34 at game time, one degree above the coldest start to a game in the 25-year history of Progressive Field.

MARINERS 11, TWINS 4

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Playing in a Twins-record low of 27 degrees, the Mariners got homers from Kyle Seager and Guillermo Heredia in a runaway victory.

The first-pitch temperature at Target Field beat the Minnesota mark of 31 degrees for a game in 2014. Coors Field in Denver holds the major league low with a 23-degree day in April 2013 when Atlanta visited the Rockies.

Ryon Healy drove in three runs for Seattle, and Mike Leake (2-0) pitched five innings of three-hit ball.

Twins starter Jose Berrios (1-1) allowed five runs and six hits in 4 2/3 innings.

TIGERS 6, WHITE SOX 1

CHICAGO (AP) - Miguel Cabrera drove in three runs and Michael Fulmer pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning, leading Detroit to a chilly road win.

Cabrera hit a two-run single in the third and an RBI groundout in the fifth after leaving Thursday's game because of left hip flexor tightness. Dixon Machado had two hits and chased Lucas Giolito (0-1) with a two-run double in the sixth that made it 5-0, sending the Tigers to their second straight win after a 1-4 start.

Both starters struggled with their control on a day when the game-time temperature was 32 degrees. But Fulmer (1-1) pitched well enough, scattering six hits and walking three in 5 1/3 innings.

Just Chillin': Players, fans and dogs bundle up at MLB parks
April 7, 2018

Skip the concession stands. There were plenty of chilly dogs in the seats at Globe Life Park in Texas.

All over the big leagues, players and fans and even pooches bundled up Saturday at icy stadiums. At least there wasn't any snow - a wintry mix has blanketed the majors early this season, part of the nine postponements in just 10 days.

It was a record-low of 27 degrees for the first pitch at Target Field, so frigid the Minnesota Twins and Seattle Mariners abandoned the bullpens.

Ski masks were in style at Busch Stadium, and it was wicked cold at Fenway Park when the Red Sox limbered up. Not much better in Cleveland, Chicago or Pittsburgh, either.

And those poor pooches for Bark in the Park Night as Toronto visited Texas. The gametime temperature was an unseasonable 42 degrees, with a wind chill of 35 - a night earlier, it was 74 degrees at the start.

''I was getting picked on a lot of the time for having a hoodie on,'' Mariners center fielder Dee Gordon said. ''Then we went out, and everybody on their team had a hoodie on. I was like, `Oh, I don't feel so bad.'''

Gordon will probably need the winter gear Sunday, too, with snow in the forecast.

The Cardinals had their coldest home start in history, 37 degrees with a wind chill of 29 as they beat Arizona 5-3. The previous recorded low in St. Louis was 38 degrees in 1961.

''When you start thinking about the weather and stuff, you got to go through it,'' Jose Martinez said after homering in the win.

Rangers manager Jeff Banister decided to hold Adrian Beltre out of the lineup on his 39th birthday. On Friday night, Beltre got three hits and moved into 24th place on the career list with 3,058.

At Minnesota, relief pitchers moved out of the shaded bullpens in left-center field. Rather, they warmed up in the indoor batting cages near the clubhouses, then trotted to the mound from the dugout.

''The bullpens were probably 15-20 degrees colder. There's no sun down there,'' Mariners manager Scott Servais said. ''MLB worked with us on that, as did the Twins. It was the right thing to do.''

The coldest start in major league history was at Coors Field, where it was 23 degrees when Atlanta played at Colorado in April 2013. It wasn't much better there Friday, where it was 27 after the Braves and Rockies waited out a one-hour delay caused by snow and sleet.

Atlanta and Colorado were back at it Saturday night at Coors. And guess what? In the mid-50s, it was positively balmy.

Quote of the Day
“The things I ended up being really good at were the things I found myself putting effort into. A lot of people talk about passion, but that’s really not what you need to focus on. You really need to evaluate and say, ‘Okay, where am I putting in my time?. Because when you look at where you put in your time, where you put in your effort, that tends to be the things that you are good at. And if you put in enough time, you tend to get really good at it.”
Mark Cuban

*******************************

Sunday’s List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

13) Mets 3, Nationals 2— Washington 3B Anthony Rendon got called out on strikes his first two times up in Saturday’s game, both on marginal pitches; after the second strikeout, Rendon flipped his bat but didn’t say a word— umpire Marty Foster tossed him anyway, at which point Washington manager Dave Martinez came out and got himself tossed, too.

Steven Matz threw 93 pitches in five innings for the Mets; 30 of them were called strikes by Foster and I’m telling you, it might be a very long time before another pitcher has 30 pitches called strikes in one game— I keep track of this stuff and I’ll let you know. It rarely happens.

But that is why the Nationals were steamed during this game.

12) Astros 1, Padres 0 (10)- Alex Bregman hit an infield pop-up just in front of the plate with two out in the 10th inning; Eric Hosmer overran the ball, it fell untouched and Houston got a win in a highly unlikely way, with the winning run scoring from second. We might not see another ball like that fall untouched the rest of the season.

11) AAF is a new spring football league that kicks off next February; Orlando is the first city to be named to the league, and Steve Spurrier is going to be their coach, which lends the league instant credibility.

Spurrier coached the Tampa Bay Bandits in the USFL back in the 80’s.

10) Mets 3, Nationals 2— Mets are off to a very strong 6-1 start. Last time the Mets started a season 6-1 was in 2006.

9) Didi Gregorius’ stats, contrasted between Arizona and New York:
2 years in Arizona: .241 BA, .682 OPS, 13 HR’s in 703 PA.
3+ years in Bronx: .278 BA, .758 OPS, 57 HR in 1,780 PA.

8) Re-watched Jon Gruden’s half-hour QB Camp TV show with Jared Goff today, done before the Rams picked Goff two years ago; those shows are great TV, but now that Gruden is coaching the Raiders, they’re gone for now.

ESPN needs to find someone (Jaworski? Dilfer? Gannon?) to pick this show up and grill these young QB’s. Think it helps the players and it is fun/educational to watch on TV.

7) Angels’ utility guy Nolan Fontana is the grandson of Lew Burdette, who was a really, really good pitcher for the Braves back in the 50’s/60’s- he was 203-144 in his career.

6) Nuggets 134, Clippers 115— LA is 42-38, but they’re eliminated from playoff contention.

5) There was only one birdie Saturday at the 11th hole at The Masters: Jeff Knox, the non-competing marker who played with Paul Casey.

4) Saturday’s 3rd round scoring average of 71.264 was the lowest 3rd round average at the Masters since 1986.

3) Lot of people got out of Puerto Rico after the hurricanes last summer; so many people left that they they’ve closed 283 schools on the island. Thats a lot of kids that are gone.

2) Top three guys in the lineup for the New Hampshire Fisher Cats of AA Eastern League are the sons of three former big leaguers— Cavan Biggio, Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

1) Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Humboldt Broncos, a junior hockey team in western Canada whose bus was in an accident Friday- 15 people passed away. Very sad thing.

Back in my college days, I was student manager of the basketball team; we spent lot of snowy nights in buses in places with hideous weather. My heart goes out to the friends and families.
