Wednesday?s 6-pack
Major league leaders in batting average:
.700? Ian Happ, Cubs
.667? Steven Kwan, Clev
.615? Ji-Man Choi, TB
.550? Wander Franco, TB
.500? Owen Miller, Clev
.474? Matt Olson, Atl

Quote of the Day
?When one door closes, another door opens, but we so often look so long and so regretfully at the closed door, that we do not see the ones that open for us.?
Alexander Graham Bell

Wednesday?s quiz
In the great poker movie Rounders, what famous actor played Russian mobster Teddy KGB?

Tuesday?s quiz
Phil Jackson won 11 NBA titles as a head coach; he began his NBA coaching career as an assistant for three years, for Kevin Loughery and the New Jersey Nets.

Monday?s quiz
The NHL expanded from six teams to 12 in 1967; Philadelphia Flyers were first of those new teams to win the Stanley Cup- they won the Cup in 1974.

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

Wednesday?s Den: Mid-week musings??..

13) Guardians 10, Reds 5? Cleveland lost its first two games, scoring one run; since then, they?ve won three in a row, scoring 17-10-10 runs. This game was 4-4 in the 9th; Guardians scored six times in the last inning. Jose Ramirez homered/tripled, knocked in six runs.

12) Guardians? rookie OF Stephen Kwan has reached base 18 times in his first five games; he?s seen 115 pitches, hasn?t swung/missed yet. Kwan is 10-15 with seven walks, making him this year?s phenom, much like Chicago?s Yermin Mercedes was last year.

11) Astros 2, Diamondbacks 1:
? Michael Brantley?s 9th-inning single was a game-winner.
? Houston won four of its first five games.

10) White Sox 3, Mariners 2:
? Chicago improves to 3-1, despite going 0-6 with runners in scoring position.
? White Sox put P Lucas Giolito, OF AJ Pollock on the IL.

9) Another day with no pitcher throwing 90 pitches; going take a few weeks for pitchers to get into regular season form. Nine hurlers did throw 80+ pitches.

8) Brooklyn 115, Cleveland 108:
? Irving scored 34 points, shooting 12-15 from floor.
? Nets play Boston in next round.
? Cavaliers were minus-9 in 8:00 LeVert sat out.

7) Minnesota 109, LA Clippers 104:
? Wolves outscored LA 31-20 in fourth quarter.
? Minnesota survived shaky 23-37 shooting on foul line.
? Edwards scored 30, Russell 29 for Minnesota- they play Memphis in next round.

6) Alabama poached an offensive tackle from SEC doormat Vanderbilt this week; awesome. Transfer portal is changing college sports; the rich get richer.

5) Speaking of which, in the college basketball portal:
? LSU?s Eric Gaines bolts to UAB of Conference USA
? Northern Iowa?s Noah Carter bolts to Missouri of the SEC.

4) Saint Peter?s hired Jersey City native/Wagner coach Bashir Mason as its new basketball coach; Mason was 165-130 at Wagner, winning three regular season titles, making it to the NIT three times. He has some rebuilding to do with the Peacocks; three of their best guys are in the transfer portal.

3) RIP Gilbert Gottfried; the quirky comedian passed away this week at age 67, after a long illness. He wasn?t politically correct, he was just funny, in an odd way.

They posted a scene of him on the great game show Hollywood Squares; the game came down to who won the last square, which was Gottfried?s, but contestants kept being wrong on agreeing or disagreeing with his answers? it took nine questions for someone to win the square. Its is a 5:00 clip that was all over Twitter on Tuesday- very funny.

2) Whole I?m talking about game shows, daytime TV needs more game shows, less contrived talk shows, where people just yell at each other in scripted arguments. Useless palaver; game shows were live TV and they were more fun.

Hollywood Squares, $10,000 Pyramid, Password, Concentration should all join Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune on daytime TV. ESPN should start televising poker tournaments again, too.

1) Found out this week that there is a station that shows M*A*S*H re-runs every weeknight, but sadly, DirecTV doesn?t have that channel. I have a station that shows Perry Mason re-runs from 1965 in the middle of the night, but no M*A*S*H, one of the greatest comedies of all time. Disappointing

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

Thursday?s Den: Doing some thinking out loud??..

13) Dodgers 7, Twins 0:
? Kershaw threw 7 perfect IP, striking out 13, but was pulled after 80 pitches.
? Gary Sanchez had Minnesota?s only hit, in 8th inning.
? Dodgers will be glad to get home; it was 38 degrees for this game.

12) Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts is the only manager ever to pull a starting pitcher who threw seven perfect innings. He has done it TWICE now; Wednesday in Minnesota and with Rich Hill six years ago.

11) Toronto 6, New York 4:
? Guerrero was 4-4, hit three home runs.
? Gerrit Cole?s first two starts: 6 runs in 9.2 IP, two no-decisions.

10) Guardians 7, Reds 3:
? Cleveland won its last four games, scoring 44 runs.
? Last four games, Jose Ramirez is 10-17, with 23 total bases,

9) Mets 9, Phillies 6:
? Pete Alonso went 3-5, with two doubles, a homer, 5 RBI
? Two bullpens combined to give up 11 runs in 9.2 IP.

8) Diamondbacks 3, Astros 2 (10):
? Arizona is batting .130 as a team, scoring 13 runs in six games. Somehow, they?ve won two games (2-4).
? Teams combined to go 2-22 with runners in scoring position.

7) A?s 4, Rays 2:
? I complained (and still complain) about the A?s tanking this season, but they?re 3-3 on this road trip, showing a lot of spunk against two good teams.
? Murphy?s 3-run homer was the big hit in this game.

6) Hawks 132, Hornets 103:
? Atlanta shot 50% (16-32) on the arc; they scored 72 points in 2nd half.
? Atlanta plays Cleveland for the last playoff spot in the East.

5) Pelicans 113, Spurs 103:
? New Orleans shot 59% inside the arc.
? Pelicans play the Clippers for the last playoff slot in the West.

4) Las Vegas Raiders signed QB Derek Carr to a 3-year contract extension worth $121.5M; Carr has a 57-71 W-L record in eight years with the Raiders, 18-16 the last two years. Las Vegas hired Josh McDaniels as its new head coach; can he help Carr become a championship QB?

3) One of the TV analysts for USFL games this spring is former Cowboys? coach Jason Garrett; will be interesting to hear what he has to say, especially where the quarterbacks are concerned.

2) North Carolina basketball star Armando Bacot is coming back to Chapel Hill for his senior year, with UNC losing only one player from this year?s national runner-ups (Manek), Tar Heels are a top 5 team nationally next fall if everyone else stays on the squad.

1) Baseball is going to look a whole lot different next year, when shifts are banned; Having two infielders on each side of second base, having all four infielders on the infield dirt, going to be a lot more spray hitters getting hits next season, and that is a good thing.

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

Friday?s Den: Random stuff with weekend here??..

13) Got a pleasant surprise Thursday; doorbell rang about 5:00, the UPS guy left a package on my stoop. I was a little confused, since I hadn?t ordered anything. It was a book, The Baseball 100, written by the great writer Joe Posnanski.

I had previously considered buying this book; for a second, thought I was going senile and forgot ordering it, but turns out a buddy bought it for me as a gift. Much appreciated; over the coming weeks/months, knowledge from this book will undoubtedly find its way into this space.

12) Baseball season is only eight days old, and I?m already annoyed with the Miami Marlins:
? Exhibit A: Monday night, Marlins/Angels are tied in 9th inning. Angels have winning run on second, no one out. Marlins throw a wild pitch, so now, game-ending run is on third with no one out and a 2-0 count on the hitter.

At this point, the defensive team is supposed to walk the next two hitters, set up a force at any base, and try to weasel their way out of the jam. But no, Miami pitches to the guy at the plate, who singles up the middle on the first pitch. Game over.

Reasons this annoys me:
a) It is the wrong thing to do
b) If they walk the batter and then the on-deck hitter to load the bases, the on-deck hitter was Jared Walsh, who is on my fantasy team. On-base %age is a close category this week; need all the help I can get.

? Exhibit B: Thursday night, Sandy Alcantara is pitching (Marlins? ace and my fantasy team?s ace) They shift against Didi Gregorius like he is Ty Cobb or Roy freakin? Hobbs; the guy was hitting .158, so of course he lays down a bunt for a leadoff single. Why give the guy a hit?

Looking forward to a shift-less 2023.

11) A?s 6, Rays 3:
? Tampa Bay has pitching issues; they?ve played seven games, their starting pitchers have logged a total of 19.1 innings, roughly 8 outs per game. This is not sustainable over 162 games.
? A?s already have five home runs with either 2 or 3 men on base; all last season, Oakland hit only 13 three-run homers, so a positive development there.

10) In 88 games so far this baseball season, only 23 out of a possible 198 starting pitchers have:
a) pitched 6+ innings
b) allowed 3 or fewer runs

9) Wednesday in Detroit, Boston?s Nathan Eovaldi threw 101 pitches, the first pitcher in the majors this season to throw 100+ pitches in a game.

8) Brewers 5, Cardinals 1:
? Milwaukee is in the 414 area code; Brewers? home opener started at 4:14 local time
? Woodruff tossed five scoreless IP for the Brew Crew.
? Omar Narvaez hit his first homer this season.

7) Over/under in baseball so far this season: Under 55-38-7

6) Couple of guys got paid Thursday:
? Cleveland gave OF Myles Straw five years, $25M
? Pittsburgh gave OF Bryan Reynolds two years, $13.5M

5) Rangers 10, Angels 5:
? As a pitcher, Shohei Ohtani is 5-5, 5.83 in 17 road starts; he is 8-2, 2.18 in 20 home starts.
? Rangers have scored 38 runs in six games, but they?re only 2-4.

4) Padres 12, Braves 1:
? Manny Machado went 5-6, scored four runs, knocked in two.
? Eric Hosmer went 4-5 with two doubles.
? Atlanta has given up 49 runs in eight games. Not good.

3) Dodgers 9, Reds 3:
? Dodgers led 3-0 in first inning, Reds tied game in 7th.
? Trea Turner?s opposite-field single put Dodgers ahead to stay in bottom of 8th.
? Will Smith?s 3-run homer provided some insurance.

2) Detroit Mercy star Antoine Davis entered the transfer portal this week; kid was #3 scorer in country last year, shooting 37.9% on the arc. Weird thing about this is that Davis? father is the Detroit Mercy coach; Titans were only 34-35 in Horizon games with the younger Davis playing, going to be lot harder to win without him.

1) I?m lucky in many ways, one of which is that the Baseball Hall of Fame is only 80 miles from my house; I?ve been there a few times, excellent place. Have been to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Ohio twice, in 2001/2017; if you get the chance to go to either/both of these places, you should. So much history, museums with fun stuff in them.
