Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack

— Portland State PG Deante Strickland, 22, died in a shooting Friday afternoon.

— A couple got married in the RF pavilion at Dodger Stadium Saturday afternoon.

— Draymond Green signed a 4-year, $100M extension with Golden State.

— New York 1B Edwin Encarnacion broke his wrist, is on the IL. Colorado Rockies put OF David Dahl (ankle) on the IL.

— Aaron Sanchez threw six no-hit innings in his first start for Houston.

— 2B Eric Sogard homered in his first two AB’s for Tampa Bay. then later in the game they pinch-hit for him; WTF?


**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

13) White Sox 4, Phillies 3 (15)— This unique game Friday night saw Phillies P Vince Velasquez make a great catch as a left fielder, also throw out a runner at home and damn near throw out a second runner at the plate, all while OF Roman Quinn was pitching for the Phillies.

484 pitches in all, 36 thrown by an outfielder; Phillies starter Zach Eflin also threw 28 pitches in relief in a game that took 5:28 to play. White Sox used nine pitchers in a game with no DH and somehow none of them were starters or outfielders.

12) To make the playoffs in baseball, especially if you’re not a real wealthy team, you need to get contributions from 30-35 players over the course of a 6-month season.

I’m thinking back to the 2012 Oakland A’s, who were 37-42 on July 1st, but went on a run from that point on (57-26) and finished 94-68, winning the AL West. A fun year.

— Brandon Hicks played in only 22 games that year, but hit two walk-off homers.
— Brandon Moss played in only 84 games, but hit 21 homers.
— AJ Griffin made only 15 starts, but was 7-1 with a 1.13 WHIP in those games.
— Evan Scribner pitched only 35 innings, but had two wins and a save.

With no trading allowed after July 31, teams’ organizational depth will get a serious test, since the only improvement to the roster will come from within the organization.

11) My opinion on having no trading is August is that it is bad for the sport; baseball needs to stay in the news to compete with the NFL for attention. Speculation can be annoying, but when people are talking about baseball, it is good for the sport as a whole.

If you must have only one trade deadline during the season, I’d prefer August 31 to July 31.

10) They’re going to call a lot of holding penalties in NFL exhibition games, to emphasize whatever rules changes they put in; once the regular games start (and the starters play) the penalty flags will get put away the way they always do.

But it is something to remember if you’re betting on these (meaningless) preseason games.

9) San Diego Padres’ lefty P Eric Lauer is 1-0, 2.65 in three starts against the Dodgers this season; he is 5-8, 4.77 in 17 starts vs everyone else. Makes no sense.

8) Will Smith hit a grand slam to beat the Padres Thursday night; when he hit the ball, the relief pitcher on the mound jumped up in the air, happy that Smith had hit an inning-ending fly ball, but he forgot the ball is juiced— it landed over the centerfield fence.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Twins put P Michael Pineda, OF Byron Buxton on the IL.
— Cardinals put OF Tyler O’Neill (wrist) on the IL.

6) Actors in Blue Chips who are still active in basketball, 25 years after the movie came out:
— Penny Hardaway, coach at Memphis
— Rick Pitino, coached pro ball in Greece last year
— Jim Boeheim still coaches Syracuse.
— Allan Houston works for the Knicks.
— Matt Painter, coach at Purdue
— Bobby Hurley, coach at Arizona State

5) 23-year-old Nathan Patterson signed a minor-league contract with the A’s after hit 96 on the radar gun twice and also hit 95 at a speed pitch challenge at a Colorado Rockies’ game- he had also done it at a minor league game in Nashville.

Reminds me of the movie The Rookie, the true story of a 35-year old Biology teacher who throws 98 at a tryout and gets signed by Tampa Bay.- lefty Jim Morris pitched for a little while in the majors for the then-Devil Rays.

4) New York 4, Boston 2— This Friday night game was only 2nd MLB game in last 25 years in which there were 6+ runs scored in the first inning, then no runs scored the rest of the game. It also happened on April 29, 2017 (Indians over Mariners, 4-3).

3) John Smoltz is pushing for the Wild Card thing to be best-of-3, instead of a one-game deal. His point is that teams aren’t going all-out at the trading deadline because they don’t want to mortgage their future, just to get into a one-game playoff.

2) Falcons’ backup QB Kurt Benkert played well in the Hall of Fame Game, but he suffered what was described as a major toe injury, so Atlanta is bringing in Matt Simms to play behind Matt Schaub and Matt Ryan. Three QB’s, three Matts.

1) NBA scheduled their opening night on same night as Game 1 of the World Series? Could have Dodgers playing the World Series at home, while Lakers-Clippers would be opening their season four miles away.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Justin Verlander, Houston Astros (14-4, 2.73 ERA, $613): Verlander is another one of his patented grooves. The veteran right-hander has pitched to a sparkling 1.44 ERA and a 0.80 WHIP while racking up 43 punchouts over his last four starts. Verlander has a current scoreless inning streak of 13. It’s no surprise the Astros are massive xxxx home faves for their series finale with the Mariners.

SLUMPING

Kyle Freeland, Colorado Rockies (2-9, 7.48 ERA, $-589): We were really hoping Freeland was going to stay out of this category for a little longer than that. However, he followed up his impressive six innings of four-hit shutout ball at Washington with another dud. T

he Dodgers lit Freeland up for seven runs on seven hits in just 3.2 innings, bringing his ERA up to a whopping 10.58 over his last six starts and has a 2.07 WHIP to go along with it. Despite Freeland’s struggles, the Rockies are still -130 home favorites against the Giants. However, there is a nice high total of 13.5.



3 STRIKES

JR. JAYS PAYS

The Blue Jays’ mini five game winning streak came to an end last night, but expect Toronto to continue to have value in the final two months of the season. With Bo Bichette getting called up last week, the Jays core of elite prospects are now all in the Bigs and they are clearly playing much better. Heck, they have scored the eighth most runs since the All-Star break. This will not your typical rebuilding team down the stretch. They are going to keep pushing each other to get better and will have a lot of value, especially against lesser opponents. Speaking of which, the Jays close out their series with the Orioles Sunday and we them on the runline.

YU GOTTA BELIEVE

Much has been made about Yu Darvish’s struggles at Wrigley Field since signing with the Cubs, but things may be turning around for the Japanese right-hander in that department. Darvish has actually pitched 12 consecutive scoreless innings at home, allowing just four hits over that span. Overall Darvish is in a bit of a groove as well, recording a quality start in three of his past four outings. He’ll look to keep that going Sunday against the visiting Brewers.

Darvish pitched well against the Brewers last year, allowing just one run on five hits in 12 innings over two starts. Mix in the fact the Brewers struggle to hit right-handers on the road and the Cubs have had their fair share of troubles hitting the ball since the All-Star break, take a hard look at the Under.

A SNAKE IN THE GRASS

Patrick Corbin makes his return to the desert Sunday after leaving the Diamondbacks this offseason to sign a 6-year $140 million dollar deal to join the Nationals. This will be his first start against his former team, and you can bet he’ll want to show them what they’re missing out on. Corbin is also dealing right now, pitching to a 1.76 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP over his last 12 starts. Even though the Nats got knocked around last night we like the value with the road team again Sunday afternoon.
