Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- I had two Nathan's hot dogs for lunch yesterday; how does anyone eat 60 of those things in ten minutes, like they do in that hot dog eating contest July 4?

-- Lucas Giolito threw four shutout innings in his MLB debut as Washington shut out the Mets, 5-0. Giolito had his outing shortened by a 5th-inning rain delay.

-- Giolito's grandfather had a recurring role in Seinfeld (Susan's father).

-- Padres' CF Jon Jay has a broken arm, is out 4-6 weeks.

-- Clayton Kershaw is flying back to LA today to get his sore back checked out.

-- Lebron James opted out of his $24M contract for next year, so he will be a free agent again on Friday, though he says he intends to stay in Cleveland.

**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but......

13) Baseball has to change the rain delay rule; Texas-New York sat thru a 3:35 rain delay (thats three hours, 35 minutes) with the game resuming around 2:15am Tuesday in bottom of the 9th inning. First game of a series, it should have been suspended and then finished before Tuesday's game. Common sense just ain't that common.

12) Kirby Yates became the first pitcher to hit three batters in the ninth inning of a game since Ray Boggs of the Braves on September 17, 1928.

Aroldis Chapman threw nine pitches in the rain before the game was delayed, so they didn't ask him to finish the game after the lengthy delay. So they lost.

11) According to ESPN's Fran Fraschilla, who knows stuff about basketball, over the last 15 years, if you take the top 100 high school basketball players each year, so thats 1,500 kids, only 27% of them have made the NBA.

10) There were conflicting reports this week that the New Orleans Saints may or may not move their training camp from Greenbrier, WV to Metairie, LA because of all the flooding in the West Virginia area. Nick Faldo owns a home at Greenbrier, which is a very fancy resort area, tucked away in the hills.

9) Angels' pitchers Garrett Richards/Andrew Heaney both have elbow injuries, but instead of having Tommy John surgery, they're getting stem cell injections to try and heal the injury without surgery, which would reduce recovery time from a year to 12 weeks or so. If this works, it'll revolutionize how teams treat pitchers.

8) Tennis star/model/PED cheater Maria Sharapova is spending part of her suspension attending Harvard Business School, making her by far, the best looking Ivy League nitwit. Imagine being a college professor and having her come in during office hours for extra help?

7) A new business recently opened near my house-- Beer Universe, which claims to sell over 1,000 different types of beer. Last business that building housed was a place that sold clothes/toys for newborn babies and little kids.

I had no idea there were over 1,000 kinds of beer, but a relative of mine owns part of Evil Genius beer, which may or may not be named after Vince McMahon.

6) Milwaukee Brewer TV guys told an interesting story Sunday about how umpire supervisor Bruce Froemming "had a talk" with them about criticizing umpires on the air. Brian Anderson/Bill Schroeder made light of the meeting, but they made sure it got out over the air, which means they probably weren't real happy about it.

Those two are good natured and not controversial; seems like anytime anyone tells the truth on local baseball telecasts, either the players or umps get ticked off.

5) Rams-Giants play in England October 23, if England still exists by then; I notice yesterday that the game starts at 9:30 ET, which is not good. When is a guy supposed to sleep? College games will be on until around 2am the night before-- I feel bad for the ticket writers in Las Vegas sportsbooks-- thats a 6:30am kickoff in the desert.

4) Denver Broncos' public address announcer quit after 16 years, to be the PA announcer for the Vikings-- apparently the guy grew up in Minnesota.

3) Brewers' pitcher Jimmy Nelson left Sunday's game after five innings, having not allowed a hit, but once Washington got a hit, the scorer changed an earlier ruling and gave Washington hit on an earlier play, a hard-hit ball at the second baseman.

I was an official scorer in the Eastern League 30 years ago; the first thing they told me was "The first hit has to clearly be a hit", which clearly fits this situation, but that was so frustrating. Either it is or isn't a hit; lot of politics in official scoring, and that was before fantasy baseball, where thousands of people might have a financial stake in how a play is scored, one way or the other.

2) This bears repeating; Kris Bryant is the first player EVER to hit three homers and two doubles in the same game. Wow.

1) MLB and the players' union needs to compromise for the good of the game; do away with the DH and go with 27-man rosters. With David Ortiz retiring, this would be a good time to get rid of the DH. Trading the DH for 60 (or 64, after expansion) extra jobs should appeal to the players' union. Common sense rarely wins out.
