      • 'Savages' again: Yankees erupt at umpires, beat Indians 6-5
        August 17, 2019
        By The Associated Press


        NEW YORK (AP) Manager Aaron Boone, Brett Gardner and the New York Yankees again hammered away at the umpires, this time in prolonged rants that brought several members of the team spilling onto the field, while beating the Cleveland Indians 6-5 Saturday.

        Gleyber Torres hit two home runs and Didi Gregorius and DJ LeMahieu also connected for the AL East-leading Yankees.

        But what really fired up the crowd of 47,347 at Yankee Stadium occurred in the sixth inning after Cameron Maybin was called out on strikes by Triple-A ump Ben May.

        For the third time in a month - each time with a minor league call-up umpire behind the plate - the team with the best record in American League lost its temper in a big way. This episode led to Boone, Gardner and pitcher CC Sabathia being ejected.

        James Paxton (9-6) went five innings for the win. Zach Plesac (6-4) was chased in the fifth.

        Aroldis Chapman closed for his 35th save in 40 chances.

        CUBS 2, PIRATES 0

        PITTSBURGH (AP) - Kris Bryant homered in the seventh inning, and Chicago got out of three bases-loaded jams to snap a four-game skid and beat Pittsburgh.

        After committing an error at third base each of the previous two innings, Bryant drove the first pitch of the seventh from Steven Brault (3-2) into the left-field bleachers to put Chicago ahead 1-0. It was Bryant's 25th homer this season and third in five games.

        Jon Lester (10-8) gave up four hits and five walks in six innings, getting out of two bases-loaded jams unscathed.

        Rowan Wick retired each of the three batters he faced for his first major league save.

        REDS 6, CARDINALS 1

        CINCINNATI (AP) - Aristides Aquino hit a three-run homer, Nick Senzel added a leadoff shot and Cincinnati dropped St. Louis back into a tie with Chicago for first place in the NL Central.

        Aquino's blast off Miles Mikolas (7-13) gave the Reds a 5-1 lead in the fifth. It was the rookie's 11th homer in his 17th career game.

        Anthony DeSclafani (8-7) worked five innings, allowing Matt Carpenter's second-inning homer.

        RAYS 1, TIGERS 0, 13 INNINGS

        ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Mike Brosseau's pinch-hit RBI single in the 13th inning drove in Eric Sogard and gave Tampa Bay the win over Detroit.

        Sogard doubled off Matt Hall (0-1) with two outs and Tommy Pham was intentionally walked. Brosseau singled to right-center field for the Rays' first run since Wednesday, ending a streak of 29 scoreless innings.

        Rays pitchers struck out a franchise-record 24 batters, including 13 in 20 hitless at bats against relievers. Poche (3-4) got the win after striking out two of the three Tigers he faced in the 13th.

        METS 4, ROYALS 1

        KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Jacob deGrom pitched seven sharp innings and Pete Alonso put New York ahead with a two-run single in its win over Kansas City.

        Alonso got three hits and snapped a 1-all tie with two outs in the seventh when he rolled a bases-loaded grounder up the middle. Juan Lagares, who also had three hits, added an RBI triple in the eighth.

        Last year's NL Cy Young Award winner, deGrom (8-7) gave up one run and three hits while striking out five.

        Royals starter Jakob Junis (8-11) allowed a one-out single to Lagares in the seventh and hit No. 9 batter Aaron Altherr with a pitch before he was pulled.

        Seth Lugo worked a perfect ninth for his third save.

        ATHLETICS 8, ASTROS 4

        OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Matt Chapman doubled among his three hits and Mark Canha had two hits and three RBIs to back Chris Bassitt's six solid innings, and Oakland beat Houston.

        Matt Olson and Josh Phegley each had two hits for Oakland. The A's have won four straight games and 11 of their last 16.

        Bassitt (9-5) gave up three runs and eight hits with two walks. In seven starts since the All-Star break he's 4-1 with a 2.36 ERA.

        Yordan Alvarez homered twice for Houston, which has lost five straight and six of seven after winning eight in a row and 18 of 21.

        The A's scored five runs against rookie starter Rogelio Armenteros (1-1) in the third.

        RED SOX 4, ORIOLES 0

        BOSTON (AP) - Eduardo Rodriguez pitched 7 1/3 stellar innings, red-hot Rafael Devers belted a two-run homer and Boston beat Baltimore for its fourth straight victory.

        Trey Mancini had a double - his eighth straight game in Fenway Park with an extra-base hit - for the Orioles, who have dropped six straight.

        Rodriguez (14-5) allowed four hits, struck out four, walked two and hit a batter in setting his career high for wins in a season.

        Asher Wojciechowski (2-6) gave up two runs in 4 1/3 innings.

        PADRES 5, PHILLIES 3

        PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Dinelson Lamet pitched six solid innings, Ty France hit a tiebreaking single and San Diego cooled off Philadelphia.

        Lamet (2-2) allowed three runs and six hits with six strikeouts and a walk.

        Eric Hosmer had three hits for the Padres, and Josh Naylor tied the game with a two-run double in the fourth.

        J.T. Realmuto homered for the Phillies, who lost for the first time since former manager Charlie Manuel returned as hitting coach on Tuesday.

        The Padres went in front with a pair of runs in the fifth off reliever Nick Pivetta (4-5).

        Kirby Yates pitched a scoreless ninth for his 34th save in 37 chances.

        MARINERS 4, BLUE JAYS 3

        TORONTO (AP) - Kyle Seager hit a tiebreaking home run in the eighth inning, Austin Nola also went deep, and Seattle beat Toronto.

        Seager's two-out drive off the right field foul screen came on the first pitch from left-hander Tim Mayza (1-2).

        Seattle won for the third time in five games after losing eight of the previous nine.

        Anthony Bass (2-4) worked one inning for the win and Matt Magill pitched around a two-out double in the ninth to earn his first career save.

                STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

                STREAKING

                Jack Flaherty, St. Louis Cardinals (6-6, 3.52 ERA, $-737):
                This 23-year-old is absolutey dominating in recent outings, allowing zero runs in four of his last five starts. Over that span the Cards have gone 4-1 and Flaherty has a microscopic ERA of 0.57, a WHIP of 0.77 and 42 strikeouts through 31 1-3 innings.

                Today, Flaherty and the Cardinals are -161 favorites on the road in Cincinnati. Flaherty has logged two starts against the Reds this season and has yet to allow a run through 11 1-3 innings. St. Louis is 17-7 in the last 24 meetings in Cincy.

                SLUMPING

                Jordan Yamamoto, Miami Marlins (4-4, 4.42 ERA, $428):
                This 23-year-old is absolutely reeling. After starting his career off with a bang, going 4-0 in his first five starts with an ERA of 1.59 and WHIP of 1.00, the right-hander has crashed back to earth. In his last five starts he is 0-4, with a 8.28 ERA and has allowed eight home runs in 25 innings.

                Yamamoto gets the difficult task of facing the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field today, and his Marlins are +158 underdogs. With Peter Lambert and his 6.75 ERA on the mound for the Rockies The O/U is installed at a sky-high 13.5.



                3 STRIKES

                THE REAL DEAL


                J.T. Realmuto has been one of the top hitting catchers in baseball this season, cranking 19 dingers and driving in 66 runs for the Phillies. He's been on a tear recently, batting .462 with four homers and nine RBI in his last seven games.

                Today, the Phillies will host the Padres and left-handed starter Joey Lucchesi. Luchessi has struggled over his last five starts with a 5.54 ERA. He also has a 6.15 ERA on the road this season. Realmuto has a .604 slugging percentage against lefties and the Over 1.5 on his total bases is installed at -105.

                A GIANT SWEEP

                The Arizona Diamonbacks will try to avoid an embarrasing series sweep at home against the San Francisco Giants. The D-Backs will have Merrill Kelly on the mound while the Giants will respond with Madison Bumgarner.

                MadBum has an impressive ERA of 2.61 over his last ten starts while Kelly has a hideous 10.71 ERA over his last four outings. With Arizona batting .250 and plating just 4.79 runs per game at home, taking San Fran as slim -114 road faves has value.

                DON'T EXPECT THE SCORING TO CEASE

                Two teams below .500 face off in L.A. as the White Sox play the Angels. The Over is 4-0-1 in the White Sox last five games and is 6-0 in the Angels previous six contests. The Over is also 5-0 in the last five meetings between these teams in L.A.

                With Dylan Cease and his 5.54 ERA on the mound for Chicago, and the Halos giving the ball to Griffin Canning who has a 7.91 ERA in six outings since July. the Over 9.5 is worth a look.

                              — Stanford 81-50-3

                              — Louisiana Tech 73-54-1


                              **********

                              Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: 13 of my all-time favorite TV shows…….

                              13 of my favorite TV shows (in alphabetical order):
                              — Batman— When you’re six years old, and in the opening credits every week, they show “WHAP!!! POW!!! BIFF!!!” and your name is Biff, this quickly becomes a favorite show.

                              The villains were some pretty big stars back then (Burgess Meredith, Cesar Romero, Milton Berle, Vincent Price, Liberace, Ethel Merman)

                              I haven’t seen much of the Batman movies that have been made over the years, but the TV show had some humor; one week there was a 3-foot Martian on the loose in Gotham City, and Robin blurts out “Holy interplanetary yardstick, Batman!!!” Good stuff.

                              — Billions— Showtime series about a hedge fund manager who pushes the boundaries of the law while his marriage falls apart. His arch-enemy is a prosecutor in NYC who is into S&M and his wife is his dominatrix— the wife is also the psychiatrist for the hedge fund manager’s company.

                              Small world. This show is really well-written- the next season will probably run after football season.

                              Trivia: Paul Giamatti plays the prosecutor; he is the son of former baseball commissioner Bart Giamatti. I suggested a cameo role for Pete Rose, but so far, that hasn’t happened.

                              — CSI— I spent a good chunk of my work career searching fingerprints and working for the NY State Division of Criminal Justice, so I enjoyed all the CSI shows, but especially the one set in Las Vegas— the actors seemed to have a chemistry working together.

                              One of my weirder ideas (a teacher friend of mine scoffed at this) is that CSI should be taught to all high school kids, so they realize how difficult it is to get away with crimes, so maybe there would be fewer crimes. What could it hurt?

                              — Green Acres— As a kid, I spent lot of hours watching Green Acres re-runs; my dad would walk into the room, say “Why the hell are you watching that?”, but within five minutes, he’d be sitting there laughing harder than me and would leave the room before my mother came in and saw the both of us laughing. She wasn’t a big fan of Hank Kimball or Arnold Ziffel.

                              — Law and Order— 20 years, 456 episodes, a great launching point for lot of acting careers, not to mention the spinoff shows that branched off this original show.

                              Take Billions; there are 32 actors who have appeared in 12+ episodes of Billons; 14 of those 32 actors appeared in at least one episode of Law and Order, and two others were in Law and Order SVU, and that doesn’t count Eric Bogosian, who was in Law and Order: Criminal Intent for 61 episodes, but was only in 10 episodes of Billions (so far).

                              — Magnum PI— I’ve never been to Hawai’i, but if I ever went, would like to visit Robin Masters’ estate; I’m told you can visit there, it is kind of a museum or something.

                              One of the best episodes was when Frank Sinatra played a retired New York City cop whose granddaughter was murdered— this was near the end of both the series and Sinatra’s career.

                              The overriding themes of the show were that great friends will do all kinds of stuff for each other, and if you’re really good looking and drive a Ferrari, women will like you ��

                              — M*A*S*H— Years later, after watching re-runs of this show on our local channel 10 and the Boston channel for hours at a time, it dawned on me that this was actually a very sad show, with humor/jokes masking the grotesque sadness of wartime Korea.

                              The McLean Stevenson episodes were the best; he was Colonel Henry Blake for the first 75 episodes, and a lot of them were classics, just funny as hell.

                              — Mr Ed— This show ran on network TV from 1961-66, so I never saw it until the re-runs came on at 4:30 weekdays on a local channel in the early 70’s. Mr Ed was a talking horse, but he only talked to Wilbur Post, an architect who worked at home but never actually seemed to work.

                              Mr Ed was a big Dodger fan; his favorite player was OF Willie Davis. In one episode, the horse takes batting practice against Sandy Koufax, and hits a ball off the wall at Dodger Stadium, with the bat held in his mouth. A fun show, not necessarily a realistic one.

                              — Odd Couple— As a kid, Oscar Madison was one of my heroes; a sportswriter who always spilled food on his clothes but was a good natured guy who somehow dated a doctor or one of the Pidgeon sisters.

                              To this day when I see my cousin’s husband, we recite lines from Odd Couple episodes; when they owned a greyhound racing dog , or appeared on Password (a game show), or when Oscar dated a princess from some obscure European country “You bought her a salty pretzel; oh, boy!!!” Great stuff.

                              — Ray Donovan— The most violent program on this list; just about everybody on this Showtime series that isn’t related to the Donovans eventually winds up dead.

                              Ray Donovan is a fixer for rich people, but he can’t fix his own family; his wife passes away from cancer, and the last time we saw him, he was still struggling with that.

                              Live Schreber plays Ray, Jon Voight plays his father (a genuine creep); they’ve had guest stars like Susan Sarandon, James Woods, Wendell Pierce, Hank Azaria. Alan Alda, C Thomas Howell.

                              Very good show but also very violent.

                              — Suits— This show is winding down its last season on USA Network; it is about a law firm that hired a young guy with a photographic memory who had one small problem— he is a college dropout who never went to law school, but he gets paid to take bar exams for other people.

                              The show had to change directions because one of the actresses (Meghan Markle) moved to England after she married Prince Harry in real life. Her character was married to Mike (the fraudulent lawyer) so they got written out of the last couple years of the show.

                              — West Wing— Martin Sheen plays the President in this show; his cabinet included Rob Lowe, Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, John Spencer— great cast.

                              Actor Duke Hill was in both West Wing and Suits; Mary Louise Parker was in this and is also in Billions. Alan Alda was in this, Ray Donovan and of course, M*A*S*H

                              Jimmy Smits, Mary MacCormack, Tim Matheson, Gary Cole, just a ton of excellent actors.

                              In one episode, President Bartlet has to throw out the first pitch at an Orioles’ game, but he never played ball, so one of his aides has to teach him how to throw a baseball in a hallway in the White House, where an errant toss breaks an expensive vase.

                              — White Shadow— Ken Howard plays a washed-up NBA player who becomes a high school basketball coach in Los Angeles. Show only lasted three years, because well, high school kids graduate so they would’ve had to turn most of the cast over every other year.

                              The basketball scenes were really well-done; Gwyneth Paltrow’s father was the creator of the show. Lot of the issues they tackled in this show were issues that real high school in the inner city had to deal with. Ken Howard was great as Coach Reeves; he wasn’t some all-knowing guy; he had flaws but he fought for his kids and they respected him for it (most of the time).
