Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Miguel Cabrera had one home run on 227 swings in August; he had two homers on five swings Monday in Cleveland, on September 1.

-- Raiders will start rookie Derek Carr at QB against the Jets Sunday.

-- Astros fired manager Bo Porter, supposedly because he and the GM weren't getting along, not wins and losses. Houston has improved this season.

-- Golfer Patrick Reed shot 68-68, then 82 to miss the secondary cut in Boston; how does someone that good shoot a freakin' 82?

-- Rookie umpire Seth Buckminster might never get to be a veteran umpire; of the first 16 plays he called that were challenged, 11 of them got overturned. Oy.

-- Cool seeing guys make their major league debuts this week, with rosters going up from 25 to mid-30's. Lot of dreams coming true.

**********

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

13) Why so much day baseball on Labor Day? Teams shouldn't have to play day games if they traveled the day before-- hurts quality of the product. Game in Miami with the Mets Monday was an awful display-- not very good concentration.

12) What mental midget designed the Marlins' stadium? When Giancarlo Stanton bolts Miami for greener pa$ture$, part of the reason will be how many home runs that ballpark cost him. Your best player is a slugger; build a normal ballpark.

11) Cole Hamels and three relievers combined to no-hit the Braves in Atlanta; he walked five guys, struck out seven, so his pitch count got to 108 after six innings, and he got pulled with nine outs to go.

10) Florida Gators suspended three players for the Idaho game Saturday; the game got postponed after one play due to lightning, but the three guys got off the hook and were re-instated. The seldom-seen one play suspension.

9) Arkansas-Auburn were 21-all at halftime Saturday; Razorback coaches in the press box got stuck in an elevator going to the locker room and never made it there to make halftime adjustments. Auburn outscored the Hogs 24-0 in the second half.

8) There is a reality show about Arena Football on cable these days; the LA Kiss are featured, partially owned by Paul Stanley/Gene Simmons of KISS, who appear to know very little about sports. The Kiss are an expansion team, but they keep talking about their team winning a championship this year, which would be really, really unusual, almost miraculous.

No one associated with the team has the onions to tell Stanley/Simmons that it takes a while for a team to become good, as in....years. Will be interesting to see how they react when the unevitable losing starts. Name of the show is 1st and Loud.

One more thing about the show: the coaches come off like morons, just yelling and screaming at players like Bobby Knight-wannabes. Not good.

7) Buffalo Bills named six team captains this weekend, none of whom is the QB, EJ Manuel. Not a great sign for Manuel.

6) Texas Longhorns' QB David Ash (concussion) will miss this week's game vs BYU; Texas also lost center Espinosa for the season, a big blow.

5) Tulane will christen new Yulman Stadium this weekend, playing on-campus for the first time since the Superdome opened almost 40 years ago. Hard to believe, but Tulane Stadium once hosted three Super Bowl, in the 70's.

4) Red Sox TV guy Don Orsillo was talking about team dress codes Monday; he said when Terry Francona managed the Sox, his team's dress code was "....don't look as bad as I do." Seems like everyone likes Francona.

3) NBC's golf announcers talk too much about the Ryder Cup, like its the most important event of the year. Here's a clue; Chris Kirk won $1.44M this week; am guessing that means more to him than playing in the Ryder Cup, even if it is going to be broadcast on NBC.

Kirk is also first in the Fed Ex Cup standings; think the $10M first prize means a little to him?

2) USC ran over 100 plays for 700+ yards against Fresno State Saturday; this week, the competition stiffens, with the Stanford game on tap. Big early season tilt.

1) Adam Dunn's first AB for Oakland was a homer, as the A's scored five times in first inning and won a big game against Seattle, behind Jason Hammel's pitching.

Game of the Day: Nationals vs. Dodgers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington Nationals at Los Angeles Dodgers (197, 6)

After turning Dodger Stadium into their own launching pad in the series opener, the Washington Nationals face a tougher test Tuesday against Los Angeles ace Clayton Kershaw. The Nationals have blasted 14 home runs over their last four games, including four in Monday’s 6-4 victory that pushed their lead over Atlanta in the National League East to seven games. Leadoff hitter Dee Gordon is mired in a 0-for-18 slump for Los Angeles, whose lead over San Francisco is down to two games.

Gordon isn’t the only player struggling for the Dodgers, who moved outfielder Yasiel Puig to sixth in the batting order Monday. Puig went 0-for-3 and has two hits in his last 30 at-bats for Los Angeles, who added an extra player to their crowded outfield Monday with the promotion of top prospect Joc Pederson from Triple-A Albuquerque. Washington center fielder Denard Span is hitless in five career at-bats against Kershaw, but enters the contest with three home runs in his last five games.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, ESPN, MASN2 (Washington), SportsNet LA (Los Angeles)

LINE HISTORY: The Dodgers opened as -200 home favorites and now sits at -197. The total is currently at 6.0.

INJURY REPORT: Nationals: 3B Ryan Zimmerman - out (hamstring). Dodgers: N/A.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals RH Doug Fister (12-5, 2.55 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Clayton Kershaw (16-3, 1.73)

Fister suffered back-to-back losses for the first time this season Wednesday as he allowed five runs (four earned) on a season-high 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings against Philadelphia. The former Fresno State star has yielded four home runs over his last two starts after allowing 11 in his first 18 outings. Fister, who is making his first career start against Los Angeles, owns a 2.15 ERA over the past three September/Octobers.

Kershaw has recorded at least 10 strikeouts in three consecutive starts, including Wednesday when he held Arizona to one unearned run over eight innings. The two-time Cy Young award winner has pitched at least seven innings and allowed three runs or fewer while striking out at least six batters in 13 consecutive starts. Kershaw is 6-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 10 career games (nine starts) against the Nationals, including seven shutout innings May 6.

TRENDS:

* Dodgers are 4-0 in Kershaw's last four starts versus the Nationals.
* Nationals are 6-20 in the last 26 meetings in Los Angeles.
* Under is 7-0 in Kershaw's last seven starts following five days of rest.
* Over is 5-0 in Fister's last five starts overall.

CONSENSUS: Almost 58 percent of the wagers are on the Dodgers at -197.

Hey Udog--Tribe is leading 4-2 in the 12th inn Sun going for a visiting team sweep at KC--- when the game is suspended because of lightning. Now they head home for a 4:00 matchup against Detroit-- with David Price on the mound!!! Result---12-1 blowout....Exhibit A of what Armadillo said......
----13) Why so much day baseball on Labor Day? Teams shouldn't have to play day games if they traveled the day before-- hurts quality of the product.
