Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Random stuff with weekend almost here

13) Pat O’Hara is the Tennessee Titans’ QB coach; maybe you’ve never heard of him, but chances are, you’ve seen him in the movies or watched him play ball on TV. More likely the movies.

O’Hara’s resume:
1987-90— Played (backup) QB at USC; he was Todd Marinovich’s backup
1991— Backup QB for the Buccaneers
1992— Played for Ohio Glory in the WLAF
1992— Backup QB for the Chargers.
1995-2000— QB for Orlando Predators in the Arena League
2001-02— QB for Toronto Phantoms in the Arena League
2003-06— QB for Tampa Bay Storm in the Arena League.

Since his playing days ended (he was on three Arena Bowl champs), O’Hara has been head coach of four different Arena League teams, and for the last three years, was an assistant coach with the Houston Texans. Now he is with the Titans.

Despite all that, here’s where you’re most likely to have seen Pat O’Hara; he has appeared in five movies; he was Tyler Cherubini in Any Given Sunday, the backup QB who got hurt, which put third-stringer Willie Beamon (Jamie Foxx) into the game.

O’Hara has also been the football consultant on 13 different Hollywood movies, including The Waterboy, Invincible and the remake of The Longest Yard. Interesting career.

12) Monday night in Los Angeles, Mets’ 3B Todd Frazier dove into the stands to try and make a catch— when he produced a baseball to the umpire, the batter was called out, but in the video, you can see a woman pointing to something on the ground.

Turns out she was pointing to the ball that Frazier didn’t catch; the ball Frazier shows the ump was a rubber baseball that was in a bag that Frazier landed on when he dove into the stands.

Weird thing about this is that is was the Mets’ TV crew that uncovered this mistake. Makes the umpires look bad. You wonder if a rule change will result from this, as far as umpires being more aggressive in making sure the player actually caught the ball.

11) Fantasy baseball is usually fun; except when your team gets eliminated from the playoffs, which mine did 10 days ago, mostly because Jose Abreu needed emergency abdominal surgery, and played in only one game that week. Not good.

Turns out the surgery was for “testicular torsion” which involves twisting of the spermatic cord, which has the effect of reducing blood flow to the affected testicle. Ouch.

From Abreu: “It was one of my testicles turned sideways and was strangled. The doctor had to perform emergency surgery to save it. I never thought about it, but it was serious. The doctors they did a very good job and everything is good. They saved the testicle. I’m really glad and thankful like I said before for all the people who helped me and who were there for me. I feel very grateful right now.”

Thankfully he is OK, but why doesn’t stuff like this happen in the offseason?

10) Houston Texans have a different starting QB for the 6th year in a row- DeShaun Watson. The previous five?

Tom Savage, Brock Osweiler, Brian Hoyer, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Matt Schaub.

9) In the last 50 years, there has been only one QB taken in the first round of the NFL Draft who never started a game for the team that drafted him.

Rich Campbell went to college at Cal, wound up lasting four years in the NFL, all with Green Bay (1981-84)— he appeared in seven games, completed 31-68 passes for 3 TD’s, 9 INT’s.

8) Former NFL QB Jay Cutler is a bit player on the reality show Very Cavallari that is on the E! Channel and stars his wife Kristin, a fashion designer who has been on other reality shows and has had small roles in movies.

Cutler has a dry sense of humor; you can see why CBS was going to hire him to analyze NFL games LY before he made a comeback (for $10M) with the Dolphins last year.

7) ESPN’s field mikes are cranked up so loud for Sunday Night Baseball; every time a guy hits a medium fly ball it sounds like a clap of thunder that could wipe out a small city.

6) Baseball oddity; Tuesday night, Marlins walked Phillies’ SS Mike Kingery intentionally his first time up, to get to the pitcher. Next time thru the lineup, they walked Cesar Hernandez on purpose, to get to Kingery. I’m betting that doesn’t happen very often.

5) From ESPN.com:

Over last 15 regular seasons, NFL favorites are 1,859-1,860-11 against the spread
During that time, over is 1,890-1,886-64.
Thursday NFL games; since 2003, favorites are 97-66-5 vs spread.

Looking at odds to win the Super Bowl, defending champ Eagles have the 10th-lowest odds. Not a lot of respect there.

4) RIP Burt Reynolds, 82, one of the biggest TV/movie stars of the 70’s/80’s. My favorite movie of his is the original The Longest Yard.

Back in the day, Reynolds was a running back at Florida State when the QB was Lee Corso; what a combo those two must have been. Bet they had a ton of fun.

RIP, sir.

3) Geno Crandall, a two-time all-Big Sky Conference guard at North Dakota, announced that he would be graduating over the summer, transferring to Gonzaga for his final year of eligibility.

One small problem; Crandall hasn’t graduated from North Dakota yet. To be a graduate transfer, you actually have to graduate.

If it takes him an extra semester to graduate from North Dakota, he could still bolt after the first semester and play for the Zags in the second semester. Crandall scored 28 points in a game for North Dakota AGAINST Gonzaga last season- he scored 16.6 ppg LY.

2) If you don’t think the NFL is still the king of American sports, consider this; in the heat of the baseball pennant race, with Falcons-Eagles the NFL opener Thursday, only four major league games were scheduled. Four out of a possible 15.

1) 2018 major league payrolls:
— Boston $233,752,429
— LA Dodgers $187,318,213
— Bronx $166,111,632
— Oakland $65,985,833

Go figure.

Friday's Diamond Notes
Kevin Rogers

Hottest team: Astros (5-0 last five)

Houston and Boston are on a collision course to face each other for the right to capture the American League pennant. The Astros travel to Beantown on Friday for the start of a three-game series as Houston has caught fire over the last three weeks by winning 12 of its past 15 contests, including a home sweep of Minnesota this week. The pitching has come back to its usual form by allowing three runs or less in each of the past six games, while the lineup is healthy again with Jose Altuve, George Springer, and Carlos Correa all back from injury.

Since losing at Oakland on August 18 to fall into a first-place tie with the A’s, the Astros have posted a 6-1 road record in the past seven away from Minute Maid Park. Also, Houston has established some breathing room by owning a 3 ½ game lead over Oakland in the AL West heading into the weekend. It’s a battle of aces on the mound at Fenway Park in the opener as Houston’s Gerrit Cole opposes Boston southpaw David Price. Cole is winless in his past three road assignments, but beat the Red Sox at home on June 1 in a 7-3 triumph.

Coldest team: Giants (0-5 last five)

San Francisco went through the first six years of this decade winning the World Series in even years. However, the Giants came up short in 2016 and will be lucky to finish at .500 in 2018. The Giants travel to Miller Park after getting swept in a three-game set at Colorado to face a Brewers’ squad that beat San Francisco in three of four contests in the Bay Area in July. San Francisco has slumped on the road recently by going 2-9 in their last 11 games away from AT&T Park since taking two from the Dodgers as heavy underdogs in mid-August.

The Giants trot out Derek Holland in the series opener as the southpaw has allowed one earned run or less in four straight starts, while San Francisco has won three of his past four road outings. Holland didn’t face the Brewers in July, as the left-hander looks to extend his UNDER streak to five on Friday.

Hottest pitcher: Austin Gomber, Cardinals (5-0, 2.77 ERA)

The lone interleague matchup this weekend takes place in Detroit as the Cardinals visit the Tigers. St. Louis continues to roll after grabbing the final two games at Washington to win its sixth consecutive road series. The rookie Gomber has turned into a valuable call-up to this decimated St. Louis rotation as the left-hander is unbeaten in seven starts this season. St. Louis won all six of his August starts, while the former Florida Atlantic Owl yielded two runs or less in each of his past five outings.

Coldest pitcher: Chris Archer, Pirates (4-7, 4.56 ERA)

After Pittsburgh won the first two starts made by the former Tampa Bay right-hander, the Pirates are winless in Archer’s past four trips to the mound. Although three of those four starts came away from PNC Park, Archer has pitched past the fifth inning only once, which came in a 5-3 setback at Atlanta his last time out. Archer actually put together his best start with the Pirates against the Braves by scattering two hits and allowing one run in six innings, but the Pittsburgh bullpen allowed four late runs to prevent him from a win. The Pirates host the Marlins on Friday, as Pittsburgh is fresh off a three-game sweep of Cincinnati.

Biggest OVER run: Nationals (7-2 last nine)

The Cubs rallied to knock out the Nationals in last October’s NLDS, while Chicago pulled the same trick on Thursday night with a victory in 10 innings. Since getting shut out in three straight games in late August, Washington has scored at least four runs in 10 of the past 11 contests, but has also allowed four or more runs in seven of the last eight games. Runs should be at a premium on Saturday when Max Scherzer and Cole Hamels square off in D.C., but the Cubs are on a 6-1 OVER run in Jon Lester’s last seven starts. Most of that is due to great run support by Chicago, who has scored 23 runs in Lester’s past three outings, while facing Washington right-hander Joe Ross, who is making his season debut.

Biggest UNDER run: Diamondbacks (11-1 last 12)

Arizona’s remarkable 11-game UNDER streak came to a halt in Thursday night's extra-innings loss against Atlanta. The major reason for this UNDER stretch has been a lack of offense for the D-backs, who went through eight consecutive games by scoring three runs or less prior to Tuesday’s 6-0 shutout of the Padres. Patrick Corbin heads to the mound on Friday for Arizona, as the D-backs are winless in his past two appearances. Corbin has allowed two earned runs or less in four of the previous five trips to the hill, but the southpaw gave up four earned runs in six innings of a 5-1 setback at Atlanta prior to the All-Star break.

Matchup to watch: Dodgers vs. Rockies

Following its three-game sweep of San Francisco, the Rockies are the newest leader of the NL West race with three weeks remaining. That distinction can either be cemented or disappear this weekend as the defending National League champion Dodgers invade Coors Field. Los Angeles took brief control of the division race after capturing three of four from Arizona last weekend, but the Dodgers slipped up against the Mets by losing two of three at Chavez Ravine.

The Dodgers can trim the deficit to a half-game with a win on Friday as they send out their three-time Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw to the mound. Kershaw is fresh off a pair of no-decisions in one-run wins over the Padres and D-backs, but the left-hander has yielded two earned runs or less in eight consecutive outings. Interestingly enough, Kershaw has managed to avoid the Rockies this season, as Los Angeles posted a 4-2 record against Colorado in his six starts in 2017.

The Rockies counter with Jon Gray as Colorado has put together an impressive 10-1 record in the right-hander’s last 11 starts since late June. Gray has pitched into the seventh inning in seven of his past nine trips to the mound, as he tossed 5.2 innings against the Dodgers at Coors Field on August 10 as the Rockies rallied for a 5-4 victory. Since Los Angeles swept Colorado in Denver in early June, the Rockies have won five of the past seven matchups between the NL West rivals.

Betcha didn’t know: Since sweeping the Astros in Houston last month, the Mariners have slumped to a 1-8 record in their past nine games off a victory. Seattle knocked off Baltimore on Wednesday, as the Mariners sit in this fade spot on Friday with the Yankees traveling to the Pacific Northwest. New York swept Seattle at home in June, but the Yankees have failed to win a series in their last three tries.

Biggest public favorite: Rays (-250) vs. Orioles

Biggest public underdog: Yankees (+100) at Mariners

Biggest line move: Rangers (+160 to +146) at Athletics

Streaking and Slumping Starting Pitchers

Streaking: Kevin Gausman, Atlanta Braves (9-9, 3.78 ERA, $380)

It’s crazy what leaving Baltimore will do for someone. Gausman has solidified the Braves rotation in a big way since coming over at the trade deadline. The right-hander has pitched to an impressive 1.66 ERA, with a 0.87 WHIP and has limited opponents to a .240 on base percentage in six starts as a Brave.

Gausman and the NL East leading Braves continue and important series with the Diamondbacks tonight. Atlanta is currently a +143 road dog with a total of 7.5 facing off against Arizona’s Patrick Corbin.

Slumping: Marco Estrada, Toronto Blue Jays (7-11, 5.43 ERA, $89)

The rebuild is all-systems go in Toronto and it’s feeling like veteran starter Marco Estrada realizes he won’t be around much longer. The right-hander has been roughed up for a 8.75 ERA and a 1.94 WHIP over his last five starts.

Those numbers probably won’t play well tonight against the Indians, who are currently -210 road faves with a total of 8.5.

Cleveland Rocks! (Toronto)

The Indians have feasted on Blue Jays pitching this season. In four games against Toronto this season Cleveland has plated 9.2 runs per game. And did we mention the Marco Estrada stats above? Throw in a Jays bullpen that is wildly inconsistent and the Tribe can easily go over their 5.5 team total for this game.

ALCS Preview?

The Houston Astros travel to Fenway Park to visit the Boston Red Sox for a three-game weekend set in what could be a preview of this year’s American League Championship series and the opener gives us the best potential pitching matchup of the series as Gerrit Cole toes the rubber against David Price.

Cole has been great in his first season in Houston, pitching to a 2.86 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP, while this has been the best Price has looked as a member of the Red Sox, pitching to a 1.94 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP in his last eight starts.

While both teams feature great lineups, we’re firm believes here that great pitching beats great hitting, especially in a postseason atmosphere. Look hard at the Under 4.5 (-105) First Five Innings here.

Windy City

Chicago will live up to its moniker tonight as the White Sox host the Angels on the South Side. It will be the pitcher’s who will be given a hand as there will be a 15-18 mile per hour wind gusting in from center field for the contest.

Not that White Sox starter Carlos Rodon needs a hand at Guaranteed Rate Field, where he owns an ERA of 2.23 and a 0.89 WHIP. The Under 8.5 isn’t a bad play.
