************************************************** *

Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here…….

13) We start today with good news; got my second vaccine shot Friday, and all is well. My left arm is a little sore; hell, some lady stuck a needle in it, but everything else is good.

The whole vaccine thing is a VERY efficient, simple operation; if you haven’t gotten yours, please do, so all of us can get our lives back to normal.

12) Since start of last season, Chicago White Sox are 23-1 vs lefty starting pitchers.

11) Cleveland hurler Zach Plesac has already been on the losing end of two no-hitters this season, but Thursday night in Seattle, Plesac took a no-hitter of his own into the 8th inning.

He didn’t get the no-hitter or a shutout, but he did get a 4-2 road win.

10) Modern baseball: Thursday night in Pittsburgh, Giants led the Pirates 3-0 in top of the 6th; their pitcher Anthony DeSclafani, was throwing a one-hit shutout, but when his time to bat came up with a couple of men on, Giants pinch-hit for him, despite his dominant pitcher to that point in the game.

DeSclafani faced 17 batters; more and more, teams don’t want their pitchers facing hitters three times in a game. It is a little weird to me, puts too much strain on the bullpen over the course of a six-month season.

9) Royals’ star Whit Merrifield has played in 344 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the major leagues.

8) Umpire Bill Miller is a pitcher’s best friend; he did the plate in a 1-0 game at Tampa Bay this week, and had batters on both sides mumbling. One walk, 23 strikeouts in the game.

7) On July 31, 2017, A’s traded Sonny Gray to New York for three prospects, two of whom have long since left Oakland; the third guy is P James Kaprelian, who made his first MLB start this week in Boston.

Kaprelian struggled out of the game, but gave up only one run in five IP, throwing 95 pitches in Oakland’s 4-1 win. It took almost four years, but the A’s finally got something out of that trade.

6) On December 3, 2018, this trade was made:
— Mets got 36-year old Robinson Cano, closer Edwin Diaz
— Mariners got OF prospect Jarred Kelenic, Jay Bruce, Justin Dunn and a couple journeyman pitchers.

Advantage, Mariners.

Kelenic debuted in the major leagues Thursday; last night, he homered and hit two doubles in Seattle’s 7-3 win over Cleveland. He looked really good, which could wind up making the Mets look really bad.

5) More and more, teams are starting to walk the leadoff hitter in the 10th inning, to create a force play, making it harder to bunt the go-ahead run to third base. Not sure if the new extra innings rule will survive after this year, but it is making people think.

4) Milwaukee P Corbin Burnes set a new MLB record when he struck out 52 batters before he walked someone this year.

Problem for Burnes, is, he’s started four games at home, and the Brewers were shut out in three of them. Go figure.

3) I’m wondering when a player disputes balls/strikes with an umpire, do they taunt the ump about robots taking their place someday? It is going to happen; there was a time when the umpires’ union was very powerful- for a long time, you couldn’t show instant replays of close calls on the scoreboards, but those days are long gone.

2) If the playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL- Mets, Cardinals, Giants. Wild Card: Dodgers @ Padres
AL- Red Sox, White Sox, A’s. Wild Card: Astros @ Indians

1) Owners at the Talladega NASCAR track in Alabama are offering people a free ride around the track in a race car, if they get the COVID vaccine; they’re offering free beer in Buffalo, savings bonds in West Virginia, entry into a lottery in Ohio.

It is pretty sad when people have to bribe you to get a shot that could save YOUR life.

Sunday’s quiz

Saturday’s quiz
Mark Jackson was coach of the Golden State Warriors before Steve Kerr.

Friday’s quiz
Roy Hobbs played for the New York Knights in Robert Redford’s baseball movie, The Natural.

************************************************** **

Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

13) Tough day physically for some baseball stars:
— Bryce Harper has a bad shoulder, is day-to-day.
— JT Realmuto has a left wrist issue, is day-to-day.
— Corey Seager broke his right hand, is done for a while.

In a related issue, we’re all day-to-day.

12) Phillies have scored at least one first inning run 10 of their last 13 games, but with their two biggest stars banged up, that seems less likely to happen for a while.

11) Takes a lot of players for a team to make the playoffs in baseball, more than the 26 on a roster at one time. The 2012 A’s made an unlikely run to the playoffs with a lot of late-inning wins, one of which was when a guy named Brandon Hicks hit a walk-off homer vs Texas.

Hicks hit one of the biggest homers of that season for the A’s, but he only batted for them 70 times that whole season— a very unlikely hero.

10) Underrated TV channel is AMC, #254 on DirecTV. Did my writing tonight while watching Moneyball and A Few Good Men, two excellent movies.

9) Eagles-Cowboys have played on Sunday Night Football once every year since 2010, but this year they won’t, they’ll meet on Monday Night Football instead, in Week 3.

Sunday night games have become higher profile than the Monday night matchups; both those teams had losing records last year, which is probably why they got shuffled to Monday.

8) Albert Pujols is going to sign a deal with the Dodgers, to provide a bat off the bench; will he be their DH next year, when the universal DH probably kicks in for every team?

7) Last six times I’ve been to a McDonald’s (two different ones) the milkshake machine only worked once. This is a problem; their milkshakes are very good.

6) The Jimmy John’s commercials with Brad Garrett have become annoying; they’re on a lot, and they’re not funny.

5) I’ve been a big Bill James fan since I was in college; have always bought his books and read them. Don’t always agree with what he says, but he’s had a great impact on baseball, which is pretty awesome for a guy who was a security guard at a pork and beans company when he started writing those books.

In 1983, I wrote Bill James a letter and he answered me back, a hand-written note that is still around here somewhere. I’m wondering if/when things in baseball will start swinging back towards more traditional baseball thinking.

Will bullpens get worn out later this summer? Do starting pitchers need to be trained to go deeper into games? Is so much shifting a good idea? (Hopefully, shifting will be banned or greatly reduced soon).

4) Pirates 8, Giants 6— San Francisco led 6-2 in 7th inning, but Jacob Stallings hit a walk-off homer to send everyone home happy. Stallings’ father Kevin used to be the basketball coach at Vanderbilt and Pitt.

3) Tigers 9, Cubs 8— Chicago is 5-12 on the road; they’re going to be an interesting team to follow in July. Will they have a fire sale? Bryant/Rizzo would bring back a pretty good haul.

2) Astros 6, Rangers 5— Houston has won eight of its last ten games.

1) Six years ago today, we lost my dad, a very sad night. He was a great friend, an honest guy who loved to play golf and root for the Mets. I miss him every day.
