*******************************
Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..
13) Weird scheduling for the Mets; they’re near the end of a 15-game stretch, totally against the Dodgers/Giants (2-11 so far). Good news is that their next 16 games are against Washington and Miami, two non-contending teams.
12) I’m not in favor of wagering on NFL exhibition games, but the fact is this: the Ravens have won 19 preseason games in a row- they’re 8-3 ATS in last 11.
11) Los Angeles Angels’ last five games:
— Trailed 10-2 in 6th inning, won 13-10 at Detroit
— Lost 9-1 in Cleveland
— Lost 5-1 in Cleveland
— Lost 3-0 to Cleveland in Williamsport, PA
— Whacked Orioles 14-8 in Camden Yards.
10) Am I the only person who thinks it is odd that there are three active NFL QB’s who went to college at North Dakota State? Bison are a I-AA program, albeit one of the best ones.
Carson Wentz, Easton Stick (Chargers’ backup), Trey Lance (49ers’ rookie)
9) Strange Stat of the Day: Giants/Tigers are only major league teams this season without a guy who has 20+ homers; the weird thing is, San Francisco has hit the most homers of any team in the big leagues, yet they don’t have anyone who has hit 20+. Go figure.
8) This stat is from Ralph Michaels on Twitter:
Over last 18 years, there have been 64 baseball teams that have had a winning streak of 10+ games; those teams are 35-29 (-2.6 units) in their 11th game.
7) San Diego Padres’ reliever Austin Allen has hit 17 batters this season, most ever by a reliever; the all-time mark for any pitcher is 21, so he has a chance to set that record.
6) Jacksonville Jaguars used six kickers last year, most kickers any NFL team has used since 1967, when Washington also used six, one of whom was a starting DB.
Jaguars got bad news Tuesday; rookie RB Travis Etienne hurt his foot, will likely miss the whole season this year.
5) There are already former college/NFL players on Twitter speaking out about Jacksonville hiring Urban Meyer as head coach, instead of Chiefs’ OC Eric Bieniemy. When the Jaguars suffer thru this year, and they likely will with a rookie QB, those voices will get louder.
The thing is, what if the Jaguars start winning next year or the year after? Then where will those voices be? It is easy to be critical, but you have to give them time.
4) Mariners 5, A’s 1:
— Damaging stretch here for Oakland; Saturday-Monday, they blew leads in 9th/8th/9th innings, losing all three games. Not good.
— Seattle has won nine of its last 12 games.
3) Modern baseball: When a pitching change is made during an inning now, the on-deck hitter retreats to the dugout to look at the pitcher’s delivery on a tablet, while the pitcher warms up.
2) Reds stayed a game ahead of San Diego in NL Wild Card race:
— Brewers 7, Reds 4— Reds led 4-1 in 7th inning; the bullpen imploded.
— Dodgers 5, Padres 2— First five guys in San Diego’s lineup were 0-17.
1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Braves, Brewers, Giants. Wild Card: Cincinnati @ Los Angeles
AL: Rays, White Sox, Astros. Wild Card: Boston @ New YorkLeave a comment:

Tuesday’s 6-pack
Major league leaders, innings pitched:
168.2— Zach Wheeler, Phil
162.2— Adam Wainwright, StL
162.1— Walker Buehler, LA
158.1— Sandy Alcantara, Mia
155.2— Zack Greinke, Hst
151.2— Kyle Hendricks, Chi
Quote of the Day:
“You’ve got to think long-term here. This has been going on for decades, and it’s time to get a new stadium done that we can make sure the Bills are here and successful for many, many decades going forward. We’re focused on keeping the Bills [in Buffalo] in a new stadium in a public, private partnership. That’s what this is all about and that’s where we’re focusing.”
NFL commish Roger Goodell, who is from Jamestown, 70 miles from Buffalo
Tuesday’s quiz
How many major leaguers have hit 600+ home runs?
Monday’s quiz
28 major leaguers have hit 500+ home runs.
Sunday’s quiz
Nate Colbert (163) hit the most home runs of any San Diego Padre.
******************************
Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but…….
13) Red Sox 8, Rangers 4 (11)— Early candidate for Bad Beat of the Week; total in this game was 9.5. Boston led 3-1 in 9th inning, Texas tied it, then Travis Shaw walked it off with an 11th-inning grand slam. He does anything but hit a homer there, game ends 5-4.
12) San Diego Padres found a scapegoat for their current struggles; Monday they told pitching coach Larry Rothschild to take a hike. Padres have lost 9 of their last 11 games- they scored 3 or fewer runs in six of those nine losses, so by all means, fire the pitching coach.
11) Miguel Cabrera hit his 500th home run Sunday, the 28th big leaguer to do that; he’s having a Hall of Fame career. Marlins won the World Series in his rookie year, 2003, so long ago that the Marlins’ managers that year were Jeff Torborg and Jack McKeon.
10) Atlanta Braves won their last 13 road games; Cubs lost 13 of their last 14 home games.
9) Miami’s Sandy Alcantara has allowed only 3 runs in his last 22 IP, but he didn’t get much help from his teammates last week. In starts against the Braves/Reds, Miami scored a total of one run, losing both games 2-0/3-1.
8) Pirates 6, Arizona 5— This was only 7th time in 125 games that the Pirates were favored.
7) NFL has a labor dispute with its replay officials, who are separate from the game officials who are on the field. The replay officials are still working, but they want to get paid more.
6) If you’re an NFL quarterback and they replay one of your passes and TV analyst Dan Fouts says “I’m not sure what his intention was” that’s not a ringing endorsement of that QB. Fouts was obviously one of the best QB’s ever, and he’s usually not very critical.
5) Lot of rain this weekend; they had nine inches of rain in two days at Liberty National Golf Club, where the PGA Tour event was being played.
4) If they played a major league baseball game with aluminum bats, what would the final score be? You watch this Little League World Series and the kids use them. Exit velocity would go way the hell up with aluminum bats.
3) Trevor Bauer is on administrative leave, still getting paid his $28M a year as his legal issues play out. Bauer hasn’t pitched since June 28, doesn’t appear to have broken any laws, but he is on the sidelines and figures to be for the rest of the season. Dodgers have to be really thrilled about all this.
2) If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Braves, Brewers, Giants. Wild Card: Cincinnati @ Los Angeles
AL: Rays, White Sox, Astros. Wild Card: Boston @ New York
1) You see people running marathons and it doesn’t seem healthy; 26 miles is a long way to run. Hey, if I drive 26 miles, I’m looking for a drive-thru window at McDonald’s or Wendy’s.
The idea for a marathon comes from the legend of an ancient Greek messenger who raced from the site of Marathon to Athens, a distance of 40 kilometers, nearly 25 miles, with the news of an important Greek victory over an invading army of Persians in 490 B.C. After making his announcement, the exhausted messenger collapsed and died.
See what I mean?
