Armadillo: Friday's Den: Random stuff with the weekend here……..

13) So you want to be a big league ballplayer?

Travis Blankenhorn was a 3rd round pick of the Twins in the 2015 draft; he didn’t get to AA until 2019, but he made it to the majors last year, getting three at-bats for Minnesota. He can play all over the field, which makes him more marketable.

This season, he’s been a very busy guy:
— He went 2-11 for the Twins’ AAA team.
— He scored as a pinch-runner in his only appearance for the big league Twins.
— May 14, Dodgers picked him up on waivers.

— He went 0-3 for the Dodgers’ AAA team.
— May 24, Seattle picked him up on waivers from LA.
— He went 6-20 for the Mariners’ AAA team.
— June 1st, the Mets picked him up on waivers.
— He’s played in two games for the big league Mets.

Today is June 3rd; this guy has already played for five teams this season.

12) Mets, by the way, have used 45 players this year, the most of any team.

11) Rays 9, New York 2:
— Tampa Bay’s first complete game in five years, 731 games (Ryan Yarbrough)

Michael Kay is New York’s TV play-by-play; he was a whiny baby during this game, crying about the home plate umpire not giving New York any calls. Now he knows how everyone else feels when his team gets all the calls in key spots (Jeremy Giambi was safe at home in 2002!!!!)

10) Oh yeah, that reminds me of Moneyball; why wasn’t the manager (Art Howe) included in the A’s organizational meetings, but Ron Washington (the 3rd base coach) was? And when Howe left the A’s, why wasn’t Washington named manager, instead of Ken Macha?

Washington had to go to the Rangers to become a manager; Texas is one of the A’s rivals, and they let him go there instead of naming him their manager. You wonder how much license the movie makers took when they made Washington such a big part of the film.

9) Suns 113, Lakers 100— Phoenix was up 29 in the first half; not a good look for the Lakers to go out so meekly. An injured Anthony Davis played five uneventful minutes. Devin Booker scored 47 points for the Suns.

8) Nuggets 126, Trailblazers 115— Denver advances in six games; Nikola Jokic had his usual 36 points. Jamychal Green was +22 in 23:00 off the bench.

7) Rockies 11, Rangers 6:
— Texas has lost 15 in a row on the road.
— Colorado may be 4-22 on the road, but they’re 9-2 in last 11 home games.

6) Brewers 7, Diamondbacks 4— Arizona has lost 14 in a row on the road.

5) Pirates 5, Marlins 3— Jacob Stallings hit a bases-clearing double in the 8th inning to score the game-winning runs.

4) Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL changed their name to the Edmonton Elks; they can keep the EE logo on their helmets. Smooth transition; who knew it was so easy?

Someone should tell this to Daniel Snyder, who didn’t have the good sense to switch from Redskins to RedTails, which also would’ve been an easy transition to make.

3) Someone should also tell the Cleveland Indians, who will be rebranding soon, but they’re taking the long way to a new name- their initial list of potential new names consisted of 1,198 names. Lot of names.

My suggestion; Cleveland Spiders- the hats would be awesome and back in the 1890’s, there was a team called the Cleveland Spiders, so it kind of makes sense.

2) New Jersey Devils/Philadelphia 76ers are owned by the same organization, which strikes me as a little odd, seeing how the Devils/Philly Flyers are rivals.

1) There are only three major league baseball games this Monday, and one of those is a makeup game. Sounds like the 2021 schedule was made before they moved the amateur draft to the All-Star break- Monday is the day when the draft was usually held.
