First five hitters in San Diego’s lineup were a combined 0-for-19.

Minnesota scored 7 runs in 7th inning on what looked like a very cold day.
9th place hitter Tristan Gray hit a grand slam for the Twins.

Missed a birthday yesterday; Joe Biden turned 84 years old.

— When he was in high school, Braves’ utility guy Kyle Farmer was an unnamed high school quarterback in the movie The Blind Side. Movie’s producers needed someone who could actually throw a football; Farmer played QB for his high school team. He spent 12 hours filming, learning the plays, and meeting Sandra Bullock, who gave him acting advice.

— Lions center Frank Ragnow retired, two years before his contract was up. He had signed a 4-year contract with Detroit, and now that he has retired, the Lions want some of the money back, something they had previously done with stars Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson.
Bad optics for sure, but apparently they’re getting $1.5M back from Ragnow.

— Underrated fact: In 2010 and 2011, Butler lost the national championship game two years in a row; they weren’t in the Big East back then, they were in the freakin’ Horizon League. Imagine a Horizon League team playing in the Final Four now???
Brad Stevens was Butler’s coach back then; he runs the Celtics now.

— Baseball season is a little more than a week old, and Miami’s Liam Hicks is leading MLB in RBI, with 12. Go figure.

— Cardinals/Rockies were the last two teams whose hitters challenged a ball/strike call.

— QB Kirk Cousins signed a contract with the Las Vegas Raiders for $20M which could turn into a lot more with incentives; Raiders are expected to draft Fernando Mendoza with the first pick in the draft later this month, but they’ve said they’re not crazy about starting a rookie QB right off the bat.

— Miami Dolphins have seven picks in the first three rounds of the draft, so they’ll be one of the most interesting teams to follow.

“When things go wrong, as they sometimes will;

It is when things go wrong that you must not quit.”
John Whittier

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

Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday…….​

— Watching Mets-Giants Sunday, they showed Bobby Thomson’s home run from 1951 that won the Giants the NL pennant in a 3-game playoff with the Dodgers, both of whom called New York home back then. It reminded me of a story.

My dad grew up in Brooklyn, was a huge Brooklyn Dodger fan; he talked a couple times about how devastating Thomson’s home run was. Dodgers had a huge lead in the pennant race in August, but let it slip away.

When I was a teenager, I spent lot of late afternoons watching M*A*S*H reruns on TV; when my dad came home from work, he’d grab a beer and sit in the living room with me and watch before dinner.

There is an episode of M*A*S*H where surgeon Charles Winchester makes a bet that the Dodgers are going to win the pennant, thinking he can’t lose. He was wrong.

Anyway, my dad comes in the room, watches the show for about five minutes, then says to me sternly “Turn this off, now!!!”
He almost never talked to me that way; I scrambled for the remote and put something else on and things went back to normal. Not something he wanted to hear about again.

— Late Saturday night in Anaheim, Angels’ RF Jo Adell had the great defensive night any major league outfielder ever had. Seriously.
Angels won the game 1-0, but not before……..
Adell robbed Cal Raleigh of a home run in the first inning.
Adell robbed Josh Naylor of a home run in the sixth inning.
In the 9th inning, JP Crawford hit a ball down the right field line; Adell caught the ball, just before he went over the fence, into the stands. He hung on, and the Angels won.

— West Virginia 89, Oklahoma 82 OT
Oklahoma led by 13 early in the second half.
Honor Huff was 8-15 on the arc, scored 38 points.
Huff was 12-12 on foul line; Oklahoma’s whole team was 10-12.
Sooners shot 60% inside arc, scored 1.14 ppp.
West Virginia wins the Crown Tournament in Las Vegas.

— Auburn 92, Tulsa 86 OT
Auburn led 34-13 with 7:45 left before halftime.
Tulsa led by 5 with 1:05 left in regulation.
Tahaad Pettiford scored 24 points, had 8 assists.
Auburn was 11-27 on the arc, Tulsa 6-26.
Auburn wins the NIT at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis

Famous birthdays, April 6th:

Bery Blyleven, 75
Marilu Henner, 74
Sterling Sharpe, 61
Brett Boone, 57

Sunday was a very good day of baseball; in 11 of the 16 games, the game-winning run scored from the 7th inning on.

Quote of the Day
“This is unacceptable. It’s unacceptable for the fans. It’s unacceptable to the standard that we set for ourselves.I think just as a team, we need to be better. I need to be better. Everyone in this room understands that they need to be better. And it’s as simple as that. A lot of season left.”

Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday…….​

— Watching Mets-Giants Sunday, they showed Bobby Thomson’s home run from 1951 that won the Giants the NL pennant in a 3-game playoff with the Dodgers, both of whom called New York home back then. It reminded me of a story.

My dad grew up in Brooklyn, was a huge Brooklyn Dodger fan; he talked a couple times about how devastating Thomson’s home run was. Dodgers had a huge lead in the pennant race in August, but let it slip away.

When I was a teenager, I spent lot of late afternoons watching M*A*S*H reruns on TV; when my dad came home from work, he’d grab a beer and sit in the living room with me and watch before dinner.

There is an episode of M*A*S*H where surgeon Charles Winchester makes a bet that the Dodgers are going to win the pennant, thinking he can’t lose. He was wrong.

Anyway, my dad comes in the room, watches the show for about five minutes, then says to me sternly “Turn this off, now!!!”
He almost never talked to me that way; I scrambled for the remote and put something else on and things went back to normal. Not something he wanted to hear about again.

— Late Saturday night in Anaheim, Angels’ RF Jo Adell had the great defensive night any major league outfielder ever had. Seriously.
Angels won the game 1-0, but not before……..
Adell robbed Cal Raleigh of a home run in the first inning.
Adell robbed Josh Naylor of a home run in the sixth inning.
In the 9th inning, JP Crawford hit a ball down the right field line; Adell caught the ball, just before he went over the fence, into the stands. He hung on, and the Angels won.

— West Virginia 89, Oklahoma 82 OT
Oklahoma led by 13 early in the second half.
Honor Huff was 8-15 on the arc, scored 38 points.
Huff was 12-12 on foul line; Oklahoma’s whole team was 10-12.
Sooners shot 60% inside arc, scored 1.14 ppp.
West Virginia wins the Crown Tournament in Las Vegas.

— Auburn 92, Tulsa 86 OT
Auburn led 34-13 with 7:45 left before halftime.
Tulsa led by 5 with 1:05 left in regulation.
Tahaad Pettiford scored 24 points, had 8 assists.
Auburn was 11-27 on the arc, Tulsa 6-26.
Auburn wins the NIT at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis

(There was no tournament in 2020)

Quote of the Day
“If you’d told me we would shoot it this poorly and [be] dominated on the glass and still find a way to win, I don’t know if I would have believed you. This team just found a way all season.”
Michigan coach Dusty May

Tuesday’s quiz
Last time Michigan won the NCAA Tournament, who was their coach?

Monday’s quiz

Sunday’s quiz
Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly played for the USFL’s Houston Gamblers.

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

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

— Michigan 69, UConn 63
Michigan wins its first national title since 1989.
Big 18 wins its first national title since Michigan State, in 2000.
Wolverines were 25-28 on the foul line. UConn 12-16.
Huskies shot only 34.3% inside the arc.
Teams combined to shoot 11-48 on the arc.

— Michigan coach Dusty May was a student manager at Indiana in his college days; after that, he worked as an assistant coach at Eastern Michigan, Murray State, UAB, Louisiana Tech and Florida- he paid his dues before getting the head coaching job at Florida Atlantic.

— If you ever are wondering how tight a game is being officiated, watch the game with the TV muted; you’ll see contact, and you’ll wait for action to stop because they had to call that foul, right? Right?

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t. In March, officials allow more contact; players have to learn how to play through contact, which is why they work out a lot in the off-season.

— North Carolina hired former NBA coach Michael Malone as its new basketball coach; Malone was 515-363 in ten years coaching the Denver Nuggets, leading them to the 2023 NBA title. He also coached Sacramento for a couple years, and was an assistant coach for four other teams.

— PJ Haggerty is in the transfer portal again; they should name the portal after him:
2022-23- TCU
2023-24- Tulsa
2024-25- Memphis
2025-26- Kansas State
2026-27- ?????
