**********

Armadillo: Friday's List of 13: Wrapping up a busy Thursday……..

13) I’m not fond of how the NBA runs it draft; when a pick gets traded (the #4 pick got traded twice), they still have the team who originally had the pick posted as the team making that pick. It is nonsensical.

Lakers had the #4 pick; they traded it to New Orleans, who traded it to Atlanta; everyone in the damn country knows this, so post it on your graphics and announce it as Atlanta’s pick— how freaking difficult can that be?

12) One of the most interesting teams in the NBA next season will be Cleveland, since 66-year old John Beilein will be a rookie NBA coach, after having been a great college coach.

Cavaliers took PG Darius Garland with the #5 pick; he only played four college games at Vandy before getting hurt, which wound up costing his college coach his job, since the team went in the ashcan without their point guard.

Cleveland already has Collin Sexton, so maybe they foresee a backcourt like Portland’s, with McCollum, Lillard.

11) Miami Heat traded three 2nd-round picks to Indiana for the 32nd pick, then took 6-10 KZ Okpala from Stanford; this from a scout: “Didn’t always have the defensive impact you might expect, particularly off the ball. Lacks a degree of physicality and toughness at times.”

Three 2nd round picks is a high price, so Miami must see a lot of potential.

10) New Orleans Pelicans traded the #4 pick, the #57 pick and Solomon Hill to Atlanta for the #8 and #17 picks, giving the Pelicans three first round picks.

With the #4 pick, the Hawks took De’Andre Hunter, who helped lead Virginia to the national title this past spring.

New Orleans took big guy Jaxson Hayes (Texas) and Nickeil Alexander-Walker (Virginia Tech) with the picks they got in the deal.

9) Oklahoma City took Chuma Okeke with the 16th pick; this is the kid from Auburn who tore his ACL during the NCAA tournament, so he won’t be any help this coming season, but Thunder must figure the knee will be fine. This pick was largely panned by the TV experts.

8) Gonzaga’s Rui Hachimura, Brandon Clarke both got taken in the first 21 picks, first time ever the Zags have had two first round draft picks in the same year.

7) You feel bad for kids who show up in Brooklyn for the draft and then slide down the draft board; has to be humbling. Oregon’s 7-3 C Bol Bol sat there for four hours before he wound up with the Denver Nuggets, the 44th player taken.

Bol is 7-foot-3 with a standing reach of 9’7.5, shot 52% from the arc, is an elite rim protector, averaged 21.0 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 2.7 bpg in nine games. Doesn’t turn 20 until November, but teams have questions whether he really loves basketball, which would be a serious problem.

6) Former Today Show host Matt Lauer put his Hamptons mansion on Long Island up for sale for about $44M, now that his divorce is final.

People say athletes are overpaid, and most are, but a guy hosting a 7am news show owning an estate worth $44M? Damn. Just for the record, Lauer bought the estate from Richard Gere for $36.5M in 2016.

5) Mets fired their pitching coach/bullpen coach Thursday; not sure what the bullpen coach did to get fired, unless he doesn’t answer the bullpen phone fast enough.

The new bullpen coach is Ricky Bones, who was bullpen coach last year but got the boot after the season.

4) Your tax dollars at work in the Tar Heel State:

Pinecrest HS in North Carolina lost the ACT test answer sheets for their entire junior class — that’s everyone who took the ACT on February 20 and March 13. All 440 answer sheets.

School administrators “have no idea” where the answer sheets are; kids will get re-tested when they go back to school this fall. Not good!!!!

3) Baseball stuff:
— Rockies put SS Trevor Story (thumb) on the IL.
— Rockies’ 3B Nolan Arenado (foot) left Thursday’s game early.

2) An executive with the New England Patriots decided to leave the team after owner Robert Kraft was charged with two counts of soliciting this past winter; the guy moved on to a similar job with Houston, then created a mess when he tried to recruit Nick Caserio to join him with the Texans. That is tampering, so Caserio remains in Foxboro.

How much will all this affect Caserio’s work this season? His contract is up after the 2020 draft; will he move on to Houston then?

1) Tampa Bay Rays got permission from MLB to explore splitting their home games between St Petersburg and Montreal; the mayor of St Pete wasn’t pleased.

“I believe this is getting a bit silly. After 12 years of indecision… I am tired of the games that are being played related to getting a new stadium built.”

[B]Friday's Diamond Notes
June 21, 2019
By Kevin Rogers [/B]

Hottest team: Yankees (6-0 last six)

New York didn’t let up following a three-game sweep of Tampa Bay as the Yankees held off the Astros, 10-6. The Yankees stand one game behind the Astros for the best record in the American League at 47-27, while beating Houston for the first time in four tries. The Bronx Bombers went deep four times in Thursday’s victory, including Edwin Encarnacion’s AL-leading 23rd home run and first as a Yankee after getting acquired from the Mariners.

James Paxton takes the mound for New York tonight as the southpaw allowed five runs in four innings of an 8-6 loss at Houston back in mid-April. Paxton shut down the White Sox in his past outing last Sunday by yielding two runs in six innings of a 10-3 blowout. The southpaw is riding a 6-1 run to the OVER the last seven outings, while the Yankees have scored at least six runs in nine of his past 10 starts.

Coldest team: Phillies (2-8 last 10)

The expectations were sky high in Philadelphia following several key offseason acquisitions, including the signing of free agent Bryce Harper to a megadeal. But the Phillies have slumped in June by losing 11 of 17 games, including dropping five of six games on their road trip at Atlanta and Washington. The Nationals pulled off a three-game sweep of the Phillies in D.C., capped off by a 7-4 victory by Washington on Thursday.

The Phillies return to Citizens Bank Park tonight to host the Marlins as ace Aaron Nola heads to the hill. Nola has been up and down of late as the righty gave up five runs in less than five innings in a 6-5 win at Atlanta. The Phillies rallied for two runs in the ninth inning (the only win on the recent road trip), as Philadelphia looks to improve to 4-1 in Nola’s last five home starts.

Hottest pitcher: Walker Buehler, Dodgers (7-1, 3.06 ERA)

Buehler was slated to pitch on Thursday against San Francisco but was pushed back to tonight as Los Angeles hosts Colorado. The right-hander is fresh off a pair of consecutive scoreless outings against the Giants and Cubs, but picked up a no-decision in a 2-1 defeat to Chicago his last time out. Buehler has delivered quality starts in seven of his last eight appearances, while shutting down the Rockies in a 7-2 victory at Coors Field back in early April.

Coldest pitcher: Joe Musgrove, Pirates (4-7, 4.87 ERA)

The Pittsburgh right-hander began the season on fire by posting five straight quality starts, but things have gone downhill since. The Pirates are 3-7 in Musgrove’s last 10 starts, which doesn’t include an outing at Atlanta in which he was ejected after hitting Braves’ third baseman Josh Donaldson in the first inning. Musgrove came out three days later to start again at SunTrust Park, but the former Astros’ hurler allowed six runs in four innings of a 6-5 defeat. Musgrove faces the Padres at PNC Park tonight as he beat San Diego last month, 6-4 as a short underdog in spite of giving up four runs.

Biggest OVER run: Blue Jays (7-1-1 last nine)

Toronto avoided a four-game sweep against Los Angeles by knocking off the Angels in 10 innings on Thursday, 7-5. The Blue Jays’ offense has woken up recently by scoring five runs or more in four of the last five games, while posting 12 runs twice in the past eight contests. Toronto travels to Boston as the Blue Jays and Red Sox have hit the OVER in five of six matchups, while the winning team has plated at least six runs in every victory. Trent Thornton has not faced the Red Sox this season, but the Jays are 4-1 in his last five starts in the role of a road underdog, while tossing 6.2 scoreless innings in a 12-0 shutout of the Astros last Sunday.

Biggest UNDER run: Reds (15-1 last 16)

Cincinnati’s pitching continues to excel as the Reds shut down the powerful Brewers’ lineup in Thursday’s 7-1 rout at Miller Park. The Reds not only picked up their fifth consecutive win (the last four against defending division champions), but Cincinnati has allowed three runs or less during each game in this hot streak. Cincinnati is riding an eight-game UNDER streak away from Great American Ballpark as Sonny Gray tries to keep this stretch going. The Reds have won five of Gray’s last six outings, including tossing six scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory at Milwaukee last month.

Matchup to watch: Braves vs. Nationals

Washington has come back to life recently by winning 17 of its last 24 games, including pulling off a three-game sweep of the reeling Phillies at home. The Nationals are within two games of the .500 mark as they welcome in the NL East-leading Braves. Atlanta is also on fire recently by posting an 11-2 record the last 13 games, which includes series victories over the Marlins, Pirates, Phillies, and Mets.

Tonight is the much-anticipated Braves’ debut of former Astros’ ace Dallas Keuchel. The 2015 AL Cy Young winner sat out the first two months of the season as a free agent before settling on Atlanta as the southpaw finished 2018 owning a 12-11 record and 3.74 ERA in Houston. Keuchel made two starts in the minors as he allowed 11 hits and three runs in seven innings of his most recent outing at Double-A Mississippi.

Stephen Strasburg hasn’t pitched well at home recently by getting tagged for 11 runs in his last two appearances at Nationals Park against the White Sox and Diamondbacks. Although Washington rallied past Chicago on June 4 in a 9-5 triumph, the Nationals fell short against Arizona last Saturday in a 10-3 setback as a -215 favorite. Strasburg defeated the Braves at SunTrust Park in late May, 5-4 by striking out 11 batters in seven innings of work.

Betcha didn’t know: The road team has dominated the Giants/Diamondbacks series this season by going 5-1. Arizona swept San Francisco at Oracle Park last month, as the two teams hook up in Phoenix this weekend. The D-backs were just swept by the Rockies at home as Arizona has lost five of its past six games. The Giants are riding a 5-0 run in the last five series openers, including underdog road victories against the Mets and Dodgers.
