Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack

-- They drew 4,595 fans to Opening Night of NY-Penn League in Troy last night; an Eastern League game in Altoona drew 5,152. Minor league ball is affordable fun.

-- Colorado Rockies' starting pitchers have an ERA that is 2+ runs higher at home than on the road. Not sure how they'll ever fix that.

-- Tigers' OF JD Martinez broke his elbow Wednesday night when he ran into the wall chasing a double. Looked like a harmless play, but he is out 4-6 weeks.

-- Kolten Wong came back from AAA and is now a centerfielder; Cardinals have so many middle infielders, they made Wong an outfielder.

-- Bengals/Vikings will have joint practices for a couple days this summer; think that really helps, to practice against other teams instead of your teammates every day.

-- Michael Saunders had three homers, eight RBI for the Blue Jays last night.

Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind.......

13) NBA's salary cap will be around $94M next year, higher than expected, so the league is doing really well. Next time Steph Curry's wife wants to bitch about things, , maybe she should remember that Mr Curry brings home a huge chunk of that money, so she should keep her comments to herself.

12) I went to the eye doctor Friday and my eyes are dilated when I leave; luckily I have sunglasses in the car, which was huge or I might've been there until the sun went down. As I'm leaving, I'm thinking, this might be the most dangerous place in America to drive, an eye doctor's parking lot. Luckily, got home without incident.

11) Miami Marlins are skipping a Jose Fernandez start now and then, to preserve him as best they can, since he had an arm operation not that long ago. If the Marlins are a contender, will they ask Terry Collins to leave Fernandez off the All-Star team? If he is skipping starts now and then, why should he pitch in an exhibition game?

10) Young man named Derryck Thornton scored 7.1 ppg LY while playing 26 mpg for Duke, but he transferred to USC this week. Kid left high school a year early to plug a hole in Duke's rotation, then bolted after one year. Interesting.

9) Jose Altuve walked 33 times in 671 plate appearances last year; this year, he has walked 35 times in 269 PAs. He is still an aggressive hitter, too.

8) The mayor of Washington DC was on MSNBC yesterday, saying she wants DC to be the 51st state. Washington DC has balanced its budget 21 years in a row, which is very impressive, but if they're doing so well, why do they want to change?

7) Julio Urias struck out eight in five shutout innings last night, but the Dodgers are keeping a lid on his pitches this year, so he came out after 85 pitches. Home fans did not have a positive reaction when Milwaukee scored twice in the sixth inning.

6) Every person with the Pittsburgh Penguins gets a day with the Stanley Cup; you can basically do anything you want with it. One of the years Scotty Bowman won a Cup as a head coach, he put the thing on a lawn chair in his backyard and anyone who walked by could come behind the house and have their picture taken with it. One of the really cool traditions in sports.

5) Owner of the Chicago Cubs has done a great job making Wrigley Field look nicer and more modern; the team is doing great, so the stands are always full and that is always a help, but the owner has definitely created a positive atmosphere.

4) Pirates got shut out at Wrigley yesterday; they were the last team in majors to get shut out this season.

3) Nationals are 23-13 on the road; 0-4 in Wrigley, 23-9 everywhere else.

2) It makes no sense that Dodger games are blacked out in Las Vegas; who thought that was a good idea? Baseball should step in and reverse that. Makes no sense.

1) Six games in the NBA Finals; Warriors have scored 610 points, Cavaliers have scored 610 points. ABC will get huge ratings if Game 7 is a competitive one- so far in the Finals, the games haven't been very close.
