Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- A's traded for Stephen Drew late Monday night; he played for Oakland skipper Melvin in Arizona, may play 3B until Inge gets healthy. Didn't give up much to get him; a minor league infielder hitting .234 in A ball.

-- Dodger-Giant game was first time since '03 that two pitchers in same game had 10+ strikeouts each, with no walks. (Bumgarner-Kershaw).

-- Washington scored in the 13th inning to beat the Braves 5-4; Atlanta skipper Gonzalez never used his closer, always a controversial move on the road. There doesn't seem to be a clear-cut right thing to do.

-- Bills saved $3M by cutting Shawne Merriman, who never regained his explosiveness after being hurt in San Diego.

-- At this time LY, not many people thought Cam Newton was going to be a good player. Of course, no one admits that now.

-- NFL fans pay regular season prices for preseason games; if I'm buying Patriot tickets, I expect to see Tom Brady at every game. Don't expect to see him play, if they think its best he sits out, but why wasn't he there?

Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

13) This is probably impossible to know for sure, but it would be neat to find out exactly how many fantasy baseball leagues there are in this country-- it has be in the thousands. Lot of money changing hands.

12) In every league except for AL-only leagues, someone owns Melky Cabrera, and he was carrying a lot of those teams to winning seasons.

Until his 50-game suspension.

Our league had the first round of the playoffs last week, and our defending champ, who traded David Price to get Melky and a couple other guys this year, got KO’d from the playoffs. This is all pretty random, like a grenade blowing up your team. Wonder how good Melky will be next year.

11) Colts have five TD’s and a FG in Andrew Luck’s first 11 NFL drives. I know its not real regular season games, and it’ll get harder once the exotic blitzes start, but they have to be pretty happy with him so far.

10) Tennessee named Jake Locker its starting QB; Locker is a poor man’s Tebow; gritty leader type, good runner, not an accurate passer. His passing didn’t improve much playing for QB guru Steve Sarkisian at Washington. Makes you wonder how good he’ll be in the NFL.

9) Bovada has posted over/under of 39.5 for passing touchdowns this year by USC’s Matt Barkley; for Arkansas’ Tyler Wilson, 23.

8) A’s-Rays have a scheduled day off Sunday, which is rare; Republican National Convention is in Tampa Bay area next week, so teams are clearing out for that event. They’ll play a Thursday-Saturday series instead.

7) When Pirates scored three runs in 19th inning Sunday, they became first team since '85 Expos to score 3+ runs after the 19th inning in a game.

6) Rams have three coaches’ sons on their coaching staff; special teams coach John Fassel’s dad coached the Giants in Super Bowl XXXV. Gregg’ Williams’ son Blake is the LB coach and Jeff Fisher’s son Brandon is an assistant secondary coach after playing ball at Montana.

5) Heard a commercial today for Dodge Darts; when did they bring those back? A buddy in my neighborhood back in high school had one of those; it had a hole in the floor in the back seat area, kind of a built-in trash disposal. Glad to hear Darts are back.

4) Chicago Cubs are 1-12 when Chris Volstad starts; why does he keep getting the ball? Why not try him as a closer, or just let someone else start. How could it be any worse?

3) Milwaukee pitcher Mike Fiers was 6-4, 1.93 in his first 12 starts, getting misses on 118 of 610 (19.3%) swings, which is pretty good. In his last two starts, his miss rate is down to 7-57 (12.3%) and he is 0-2, 15.43.

What changed so quickly? 14 of last 29 balls put in play against him went for hits. Is he hurt? Not locating as well? Am curious to follow him from here on in. Why does this happen? Inquiring minds want to know.

2) West Virginia University was named the #1 party school in America, with Iowa 2nd and Ohio U third. College administrators say publicly they don’t want their school on this list, but behind closed doors, you know they realize it helps increase the number of applications. Its like gambling and the NFL; they publicly shoo it away, but privately are glad it exists.

1) College football starts a week from Thursday; how cool is that?

Tuesday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STREAKING

David Price, Tampa Bay Rays (16-4, 2.39)

Price has put together 11 consecutive quality starts, pitching at least seven innings in each of those outings. His last loss was June 13 versus the Mets and he’s only surrendered two earned runs in three August starts. The lefty takes the bump at home against the Royals on Tuesday.

Paul Maholm, Atlanta Braves (11-7, 3.39)

Maholm continued his recent success since joining the Braves, picking up the win against the Padres in his last outing. The right-hander has only allowed one earned run in his last 16 innings pitched but faces a tough test against Stephen Strasburg and the Nationals in Washington next time out.


SLUMPING

Homer Bailey, Cincinnati Reds (10-8, 4.16)

Bailey had another tough outing Thursday, allowing six runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings to the Mets. The righty has struggled in his last four starts, posting a 9.15 ERA in 19 1/3 innings with just one win. He starts on the road in Philadelphia next.

A.J. Burnett, Pittsburgh Pirates (15-4, 3.54)

Burnett picked up the win against the Dodgers on Thursday despite allowing six runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. The right-hander has been solid for the Bucs this season but he's been a little shaky recently, giving up 11 runs and 16 hits in his last 12 1/3 innings. He toes the rubber in San Diego at Petco Park in his next outing.
