Quote of the Day
“It wasn’t an easy decision, but what I kept thinking about was, I had a chance to be a part of something special, the history and tradition. Be a part of something much bigger than myself. This was the only college job I ever considered. Any other job, I wouldn’t even answer the phone.”

**************************************************************************
Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..
— Something new this year; games in Cleveland, New York (Mets) were switched from night games to day games because it is still so freakin’ cold out in this part of the country. It was 34 degrees in Cleveland when the game there started at 1:00 Tuesday.
Guardians 2, Royals 1
Brayan Rocchio had the walk-off single for Cleveland, which improved to 7-5.
Carter Jensen homered for the second game in a row for Kansas City.
— Braves 7, Angels 2
Jorge Soler hit a first inning home run off of Reynaldo Lopez, making him 14-23 with five home runs in his career against Lopez. When Soler batted in the fifth inning with Atlanta leading 4-2, Lopez’ first pitch hit the backstop on the fly. Not over Soler’s head, but kind of close.
Words were exchanged, then a fight started, a fracas, a donnybrook, a Pier 6 brawl. Not the usual push/pull stuff, an actual fight. Braves manager Walt Weiss tackled Soler.
Lopez was ejected, which means he didn’t get the win, which sucks if you have him on your fantasy team.
— Reds 6, Marlins 3 (10)
Miami led 2-0 in 9th inning behind Sandy Alcantara; Marlins took him out with runners on first and second and one out, and Cincinnati tied the game, before scoring four runs in the 10th inning. Alcantara threw 95 pitches.
Jacob Marsee snapped a slump, going 2-for-4, with four stolen bases.
Marlins have lost four of their last five games.
— Cardinals 7, Nationals 6 (10)
Washington led 5-3 after seven innings.
Jordan Walker/Nathan Church homered for St Louis.
James Wood homered for the third day in a row.
Nationals have lost six of their last seven games.
— Cubs 9, Rays 2
Drew Rasmussen was supposed to start this game for Tampa Bay, but his wife is expected to have a baby soon, so Rasmussen was scratched from this start, a piece of information I could have used on Monday, when I put my fantasy team’s lineup in for this week.
Alex Bregman broke out of an 0-for-13 slump, went 3-for-5.
Pete Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5, with three runs scored.
— Red Sox 3, Brewers 2
Game was scoreless after five innings.
Trevor Story had a two-run double in the sixth inning.
Boston improved to 3-8, despite getting only three hits.
— Dodgers 4, Blue Jays 1
They were selling 77-cent hot dogs during this game, because the Blue Jays started playing in 1977; in the first seven innings Tuesday, they sold 100,204 hot dogs.
That’s a lot of rolls. Wonder if Joey Chestnut was there?
Dodgers have won five games in a row.
Toronto has lost six games in a row.
— Famous birthdays, April 8th:
Mark Clayton, 65
Robin Wright, 60
Yonder Alonso, 39
Jeff McNeil, 34
Dario Saric, 32
Jacob Latz, 30
Jo Adell, 27
CeeDee Lamb, 27
Today would’ve been Hall of Famer Jim (Catfish) Hunter’s 80th birthday.
— Rockies 5, Astros 1
Willi Castro went 3-for-4, with a homer and three RBI
Astros had only three hits; they’re 1-4 on the road.
Colorado is 5-6 this year; last year, they were 5-25 at one point.
— Twins 4, Tigers 2
Twins scored four runs in the 5th inning, off of Tarik Skubal.
Taj Bradley had 10 strikeouts; he is 2-0, 1.08 in his first three starts.
Josh Bell was 3-for-4 with an RBI for Minnesota
— New York 5, A’s 3
Amed Rosario hit two home runs, including the game-winner in 8th inning.
Aaron Civale allowed two hits in five IP in his start for the A’s.
Sacramento is 1-6 on the road.
— Rangers 3, Mariners 2
Texas beats George Kirby for first time in his 11 starts against them.
This is first time Rangers have won a series vs Seattle in their last 10 series
Mariners are struggling, off to a 4-8 start.
— College/semi-pro basketball transfer portal opens this week; there are already over 1,000 names in the portal. One player is going to transfer from Columbia to Sam Jose State, which seems unusual.
— The daughter of new North Carolina basketball coach Michael Malone plays volleyball for the Tar Heels. Some genius on social media was questioning whether Malone was a good hire— hey genius, THE GUY WON AN NBA TITLE THREE YEARS AGO!!!!
Of course he’s a good hire.
— Can’t remember if I knew this or not, I’m guessing not; NIL money has nothing to do with the school, it is an agreement between a player and an outside business/booster, as opposed to if you donate $$$ to an athletic program, the school can spread it out to all their sports.
