Armadillo: Saturday's six-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.

Armadillo: 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.

MLB

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.
