                        **************************************************

                        Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with weekend here…….

                        13) Reds 3, Indians 0:
                        — Wade Miley throws the 4th (9-inning) no-hitter of the season.
                        — Reds scored 3 runs in ninth to break a scoreless tie.
                        — Last time there were four no-hitters by May 7? Try 1917.

                        12) Phillies 12, Braves 2— Philly scored six runs in first inning, with Rhys Hoskins scoring one of them, even though he struck out twice in the inning. You don’t see that a lot.

                        11) Going into Friday night’s games, teams that led by 3+ runs after 8th inning were 223-2.

                        10) Washington Wizards’ Russell Westbrook is 6th in the NBA in rebounding; he is also a 6-3 guard. Let that sink in; a 6-3 guard is 6th in the league in rebounding, while also scoring 21.8 ppg and dishing out 11.4 assists a game.

                        9) Westbrook’s old team, the Houston Rockets, have now used 28 players this season, tying the all-time record. Rockets are 16-51, not sure their management has a clue what they’re doing.

                        8) From 2015-2019, only 5% of extra-inning games ended in the 10th inning.

                        With the new extra inning rules LY, 92% of games ended in either 10 or 11 innings.

                        7) Giants 5, Padres 4— Padres traded for Blake Snell last winter, but they have a problem with him— he never pitches six innings. Your best pitchers have to eat up innings, to take the strain off your bullpen. Snell has thrown 30.1 innings in seven starts this season- he threw 95 pitches in 4.2 innings in this game. That’s not good enough.

                        6) Washington’s Kyle Finnegan threw the 102nd immaculate inning in MLB history this week; he struck out three Braves on nine pitches in 6th inning of the Nationals’ 5-3 loss to Atlanta.

                        5) Random trivia: From 1959-62, there were two baseball All-Star Games per year. The second game was used to raise funds for things like the players’ pension fund.

                        4) Some significant names went on the IL Friday:
                        — Cobs OF Ian Happ (ribs)
                        — Reds 1B Joey Votto (thumb)
                        — Tigers C Wilson Ramos (back)
                        — Blue Jays IF Joe Panik (calf)
                        — Twins OF Byron Buxton (hip)
                        — Red Sox IF Keke Hernandez (hamstring)
                        — Giants OF Alex Dickerson (shoulder)

                        3) Buffalo Bulls of the MAC hired Maurice Linguist as their new football coach, replacing Lance Leipold, who moved on to be the new coach at Kansas.

                        Linguist had been an assistant coach at Michigan, on the defensive side of the ball.

                        2) Interesting situation in Anaheim this week, with Angels DFA’ing Albert Pujols, who obviously doesn’t want to retire. Angels don’t want to play him anymore; they want to play Jared Walsh at 1B, Shohei Ohtani at DH. The question becomes; is there a team that wants Pujols?

                        If the National League had the DH, this might be simpler; Pujols has 667 homers; would a year or two as a DH get him to 700?

                        1) Early candidate for Bad Beat of the Year: Cavaliers (+12.5) lost by 16 to the Suns the other night, but the loss was in overtime. You’re +12.5 and the game goes to OT, you figure you’re a winner, but not this time. Gambling is hard.
