82— Ben Rice, NYY
76— Aaron Judge, NYY

Quote of the Day
“Credit to [the Magic], they pushed us. They really made us take a look in the mirror. I think we got a lot better from this series. I got a lot better. I learned a lot about myself, learned a lot about the team. So, I think this series really is going to set us up for our next series, and we’ll be a lot better for it.”
Cade Cunningham

Monday’s quiz
In the movie Invincible, where a 30-year old bartender tries out for the Philadelphia Eagles and makes the team, what well-known actor played Eagles coach Dick Vermeil?

Sunday’s quiz
Carlos Mendoza was manager of the Mets, last time they made the playoffs, in 2024.

Saturday’s quiz
Houston Rockets won consecutive NBA titles in the mid-90’s; Rudy Tomjanovich was their coach.

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

Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a busy weekend……..

— Braves 11, Rockies 6
Atlanta manager Walt Weiss managed the Rockies from 2013-16, going 283-365. Tough place to win.
Now he is managing a team with a better organization, and he has the Braves off to a 25-10 start- they lead the NL East by 8.5 games already. Atlanta swept the Rockies this weekend, scoring 27 runs in the three games.
Ronald Acuna went on the IL with a Grade 1 (lesser) hamstring strain.

— Rays 2, Giants 1 (10)
Giants went 0-6 on this road trip; they’ve scored a total of nine runs in their last seven road games. They’re 13-24, tied for the 2nd-worst record in the NL.
After the game, Giants called up 1B prospect Bryce Eldridge.

— Phillies 7, Marlins 2
Phillies scored six runs in the top of the first.
Bryson Stott hit his second three-run homer of the weekend.
After the game, Marlins sent down C Agustin Ramirez, who was supposed to be a really good hitter and a lesser defensive catcher, but he’s hit only .231 in the last year and a half. Marlins are bringing up rookie Joe Mack to replace him.

— Pirates 1, Reds 0
Game was scoreless after seven innings.
Oneil Cruz had the game-winning hit in the bottom of the inning.

NL Central standings:
21-12- Cubs
20-13- Cardinals
20-13- Reds
18-14- Brewers
18-16- Pirates

— Royals 4, Mariners 1
Royals went to Seattle and swept the three-game series.
Cal Raleigh sat out the last two games with side soreness.

AL West standings:
18-16- A’s
16-18- Rangers
16-19- Mariners
14-21- Astros
13-22- Angels

Famous birthdays, May 4th:
Rene Lachemann, 81
Richard Jenkins, 79
Ken Oberkfell, 70
Rick Leach, 69
Tim Sherwin, 68
Cleveland Gary, 60
Ben Grieve, 50
George Hill, 40
Victor Oladipo, 34
Nathan Peterman, 32

— Pistons 116, Magic 104
Cade Cunningham had 32 points, 12 assists.
Pistons shot 16-33 on the arc.
Detroit wins series, 4-3
Pistons advance to play Cleveland in the next round, because…….

— Cavaliers 114, Raptors 102
Jarrett Allen scored 22 points, had 19 rebounds.
Game was 49-49 at halftime.
Cavaliers outscored Toronto 38-19 in third quarter.
Cleveland wins series, 4-3; home team won all seven games.

— When the 76ers beat Boston in Game 7 of their playoff series this weekend, it was the ninth time the two rivals had played a Game 7, more than any other teams have met in a Game 7.

— Merrimack College won the regular season in MAAC basketball this past winter; they were expecting to have both players back next year, but instead, one of them will be playing at Wake Forest, the other one at Boston College, two ACC teams.
Coaching mid-major college basketball is a lot more difficult that it used to be.

Movie of the Day: Because it is May 4th, I was going to do Star Wars (may fourth be with you) but I’ve never seen it, so that was out.
Up In the Air (2009)- Guy has a job traveling around the country firing people, but his company decides to start firing people via Zoom calls, which upsets him, because he likes spending his life living in hotels.

George Clooney is the guy, Jason Bateman is his boss, Anna Kendrick is the young lady who is promoting the Zoom calls, Vera Farmiga is the woman Clooney’s character is screwing around with on the road.
Good movie, with an unexpected turn at the end.

— Twins OF Byron Buxton has 10 home runs this season, but only 14 RBI, which is unusual. So far this season, he is 0 for 19 when he bats with a runner in scoring position.
Twins P Joe Ryan left the game after two batters Sunday, with a sore elbow. No bueno.

— Padres 4, White Sox 3
Xander Bogaerts had the game-winning single in 8th inning.
Loss ends the White Sox’ five-game winning streak.
Miguel Andujar/Manny Machado homered for the Padres.

— Mets 5, Angels 1
Mark Vientos homered twice, had four RBI.
Clay Holmes is 4-2, 1.69 so far this season.
Mets have the worst record in the National League, Angels the worst record in the American League.

— Astros 3, Red Sox 1 (10)
Red Sox were 0-11 with RISP, left 13 guys on base.
Boston P Ranger Suarez (hamstring) left after four IP.
Red Sox are 3-4 since they changed managers.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Braves, Cubs, Dodgers. Wild Cards: Padres-Cardinals-Reds
AL; Bronx, Clev/Det, A’s. Wild Cards: Rays-Clev/Det- 4 teams tied for last spot

Tuesday’s 6-pack
Major League teams who have scored the most runs:
205— Braves
185— Cubs
180— Pirates, Bronx, Nationals
178— Astros
175— Dodgers
172— Brewers

Quote of the Day
“This is something that I’ve been dealing with all season. It’s good to get an answer, honestly. From my understanding, you just go take it out. I think length of the rehab is probably just getting your spring training buildup up again, getting your volume up. But the procedure itself I think is pretty simple as far as what I’ve been explained.”
Tarik Skubal

Tuesday’s quiz
Who was the Dodgers’ manager, before Dave Roberts?

Monday’s quiz
In the movie Invincible, where a 30-year old bartender tries out for the Philadelphia Eagles and makes the team, Greg Kinnear was the actor who played Eagles coach Dick Vermeil.

Sunday’s quiz
Carlos Mendoza was manager of the Mets, last time they made the playoffs, in 2024.

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

Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but…….

— Detroit Tigers’ pitching ace Tarik Skubal will have arthroscopic surgery for loose bodies in his left elbow; the procedure usually sidelines players for 2-3 months.
Skubal won a Cy Young award the last two years; he is a free agent after this season.

— Red Sox 5, Tigers 4
Game was scoreless after five innings.
Down 2-0, Red Sox scored five runs in the 7th inning.
Jarren Duran’s three-run HR was the game’s big blow.

— Cubs 5, Reds 4
Pinch-hitter Michael Conforto hit a walk-off HR in 9th inning.
Cubs have won six in a row, 16 of last 19 games.
Cincinnati lost its last four games.

— Mariners 5, Braves 4
Atlanta hit three HR’s in top of the 6th to take a 4-0 lead.
Seattle scored five runs in the bottom of the sixth.
JP Crawford’s home run was the game-winner.

— White Sox 6, Angels 0
Davis Martin allowed five baserunners in seven IP.
Munetaka Murakami has 14 HR’s; he hasn’t hit a double or a triple.
Angels have lost 13 of their last 15 games.

— Phillies 1, Marlins 0
Bryce Harper hit a third-inning homer for the game’s only run.
Aaron Nola allowed five hits in his six shutout IP.
Phillies are 6-1 since they changed managers.

Famous birthdays, May 5th:
Ron Oester, 70
LaPhonso Ellis, 56
Harold Miner, 55
PJ Tucker, 41
Adele Adkins, 38
Logan Gilbert, 30

— Knicks 137, 76ers 98
Knicks led 74-51 at halftime.
Jalen Brunson scored 27 points in the first half.
Knicks made 19 of 37 shots behind the arc.
New York leads series, 1-0.

— Timberwolves 104, Spurs 102
Game was 45-45 at halftime.
Anthony Edwards scored 18 points in 25:00 off the bench.
Minnesota was minus-11 in 24:00 Mike Conley was off the floor.
Minnesota leads series, 1-0.

— Orlando Magic fired coach Jamahl Mosley, after the Magic lost in seven games to Detroit in the first round of the playoffs, after leading the series, 3-1.
Mosley was Orlando’s coach for five years, going 7-12 in the playoffs, which is why they fired him. Last three regular seasons, Orlando was 47-35/41-41/45-37.

Movie of the Day: Rounders (1998)— Law student decides he’d rather play high stakes poker than finish law school. The scenes with Matt Damon and his law professor (Martin Landau) are excellent. Same guys who wrote this wr0te the great Showtime series Billions.
Matt Damon is the law student, Edward Norton is his friend who is a cruddy person, Martin Landau is a law professor, John Malkovich is a Russian gangster, John Turturro is a veteran gambler who tries to be the law student’s mentor.
Very good movie, one of my favorites.

— Lot of times very late at night, I listen to podcasts on YouTube. Found a good one Sunday; Starkville, with Jason Stark and Doug Glanville. Two smart, good natured guys just talking about baseball; in this episode, they had former big league pitcher Ron Darling as their guest.
If you like baseball, it is fun to listen to them exchange ideas.

— Thanks for nothing: backup C Jonah Heim homered, drove in five runs for Atlants Sunday, then on Monday, the Braves activated C Sean Murphy- they DFA’d Heim, and traded him to the Sacramento/Las Vegas A’s.

— Was watching a Milwaukee Brewers game over the weekend; Brewers were out of ABS replay challenges in the second inning— not good. They won the game so it wound up not mattering, but I’m surprised at how early in games some teams risk their challenges in situations that don’t seem that important.

— After Saturday night’s games, all five NL West teams were on losing streak of 3+ games, which is the first time that has happened in any division, since divisional play started in 1969.

— Mets 4, Rockies 2
Mets scored four runs in 6th inning; they didn’t have a hit in first five innings.
Carson Benge’s home run broke up a scoreless tie.
Colorado is 1-6 since they swept the Mets in New York last month.
Juan Soto batted leadoff for only the third time in his career.

— Rays 5, Blue Jays 1
Ryan Vilade hit a three-run homer in the first inning.
Bryan Baker earned his ninth save of the season.
22-12 Rays have won four in a row, and 10 of their last 11 games.

— Dodgers 8, Astros 2
Dodgers led the game 7-2 in the third inning.
Kyle Tucker went 2-for-5, hit a home run.
Astros are 14-22, second worst record in the AL.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Braves, Cubs, Dodgers. Wild Cards: Cardinals-Padres-Reds
AL; Bronx, Clev/Det, A’s. Wild Cards: Rays-Cle/Det-White Sox
