**********

Armadillo: Thursday's Den: Doing some thinking out loud……..

13) Quite a day of major league baseball; in 12 of the 14 games, the winning run scored in the last three innings. Lot of fascinating games.
— First game was at 1:00pm; last game ended at 3:59am in San Diego.
— Dodger-Padre game was longest game under the new extra inning rules.
— Only 6 of 28 starting pitchers got a decision Wednesday.

12) Dodgers 5, Padres 3 (16):
— One of the most bizarre baseball games I’ve ever seen; it ended at 3:59am.
— Tatis tied the game with a 2-run homer in the 15th that bounced off RF Taylor’s glove; it wasn’t going to go over the fence.
— Dodgers twice walked hitters intentionally back/back to load the bases, because San Diego was out of pinch-hitters and pitchers had to pinch-hit.
— Padres didn’t get a hit from the 5th inning until the Tatis homer in the 16th.
— Dodgers issued 8 intentional walks, an all-time record.
— Total on game was 8; it was 1-1 after the 14th. Wound up as a push.

11) Giants 3, Mets 2:
— Mets hit into five double plays in first 7 innings.
— New York is 2-12 in last 14 games, all vs Dodgers/Giants.
— Starting Friday, Mets’ next 16 games are against Washington/Miami.

10) Couple NFL teams announced their starting QB’s:
— Jaguars will start rookie QB Trevor Lawrence right off the bat.
— Broncos will start Teddy Bridgewater in their opener against the Giants.

9) LA Rams traded couple low draft picks to New England for QB Sony Michel, who scored the only TD against the Rams in the Super Bowl three years ago. Rams have injury issues at RB; starter Cam Akers tore his achilles, Darrell Henderson has a sprained thumb.

8) Mentioned the other day about only two MLB teams not having a guy with 20+ homers; Mike Yastzremski hit his 20th the other night, so now Detroit is the only team without a guy who has 20+, though they do have a guy with 500 career homers (Miguel Cabrera)

7) Rajon Rondo’s career path:
— Played college ball at Kentucky from 2004-06.
— Was first round pick of the Suns in 2006; he never played for them.
— Played for Celtics from 2006-14
— Played 46 games for Dallas in 2014-15
— Played 72 games for Sacramento in 2015-16
— Played 69 games for Chicago in 2016-17
— Played 65 games for New Orleans in 2017-18
— Played 94 games for Lakers from 2019-21
— Played 27 games for Atlanta last season
— Played 18 games for the Clippers last season
— Got traded to Memphis this summer.

6) Weird baseball scheduling:
— Braves had Wednesday and Thursday off, which makes no sense.
— Angels-Padres play a rare 2-game weekend series; they’re not playing Sunday.

5) Josh Rosen’s career path:
— Played QB at UCLA from 2015-17
— 1st round pick of the Cardinals in 2018
— Went 3-10 as the Cardinals’ starter in 2018
— Traded to the Dolphins for two draft picks.
— Went 0-3 as Miami’s starter in 2019.
— 2020: Was on practice squad of Bucs, 49ers
— Signed up with the Falcons this week.

4) Milwaukee Bucks’ coach Mike Budenholzer parlayed the Bucks’ NBA title into a 3-year contract extension, much deserved. Milwaukee’s only other NBA title was in 1971, when they had a pretty good center (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar)

3) Orioles 10, Angels 6:
— Baltimore snaps its 19-game losing skid.
— Angels led 6-5 after seven innings.
— Cedric Mullins knocked in three runs for the Birds.

2) If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
NL: Braves, Brewers, Giants. Wild Card: Cincinnati @ Los Angeles
AL: Rays, White Sox, Astros. Wild Card: Boston @ New York

1) When NFL teams make their final cuts after this weekend, 864 players will be looking for jobs; you wonder how much their vaccination status will affect their chances of finding a new job? Unvaccinated players will have to wait five days to join their new team.
