Wednesday?s 6-pack
Odds to win The Masters:
10-1? Jon Rahm
12-1? Justin Thomas
14-1? Cameron Smith
16-1? DJohnson, Morikawa, McIlroy, Scheffler, Spieth
18-1? Viktor Hovland
20-1? Cantlay, Koepka, Schauffle

Quote of the Day
?Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is is the courage to continue that counts.?
Winston Churchill

Wednesday?s quiz
What fine actor played A?s manager Art Howe in Moneyball?

Tuesday?s quiz
Lou Piniella was manager of the Seattle Mariners, last time they made the playoffs, in 2001.

Monday?s quiz
Roy Williams was the basketball coach at Kansas before Bill Self; he was also the hoop coach at North Carolina before Hubert Davis.

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

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

13) Cleveland OF Will Benson hit an inside-park home and a triple in Tuesday?s game against Colorado, which brought up the question: Has anyone ever hit two inside-park home runs in the same game?

Turns out it has happened 10 times, all in the American League. Last time was October 4, 1986 when Twins? SS Greg Gagne did it. Before that, the great Dick Allen had two inside-park homers in a 1972 game.

12) Because July 31 is a Sunday this year, MLB pushed the trading deadline back to August 2.

11) MLB has OK?d PitchCom, which will reduce the amount of time pitchers take getting signals from the catcher. Early feedback has been positive; it is expected to speed up games some.

10) Saint Peter?s just had a great run, the first 15-seed to make the Elite 8; Jersey City threw the team a freakin? parade.

Now comes the bad news. As expected, coach Shaheen Holloway is going to coach Seton Hall, his alma mater, but then Tuesday, three Peacocks entered the transfer portal, which wasn?t expected. The new coach is going to have a mess on his hands.

9) There are now 1,165 names in the transfer portal; there are 358 D-I teams.

8) Coaching carousel:
? LaSalle hired 73-year old Fran Dunphy as its new coach; Dunphy has a 580-325 record as a head coach, at Penn/Temple.
? Cleveland State is going to hire Iowa State assistant Daniyal Robinson as its new coach.

7) Elon head coach Mike Schrage quit this week; he is expected to join Jon Scheyer?s staff at Duke.

6) North Carolina lost the national title game Monday night, after leading 40-25 at halftime; they beat Baylor in the second round, after blowing a 25-point lead with 10:20 left in game. Very unusual March run; Armando Bacot had 99 rebounds in six games.

5) Remy Martin scored 14 points in 21:00 off bench for Kansas in the title game; last year he bolted Arizona State and was going to jump to the NBA. ASU coach Bobby Hurley publicly backed Martin?s decision, but then Martin didn?t go to the NBA, he transferred to Kansas instead.

Arizona State went 14-17, Hurley was suspended for a game for going nuts on a ref after one especially hideous loss. Wonder what he thinks about Kansas winning the national title?

4) Baseball happenings:
? P Johnny Cueto signed with the White Sox
? Dodgers signed reliever Dellin Betances
? Bronx signed 1B Greg Bird

3) ESPN?s daytime lineup would be so much better if they went back to showing replays of poker tournaments and stopped with their hideous talk shows, orchestrated yelling with lot of words being exchanged, but nothing substantial being said.

2) Was scrolling thru the movie channels Tuesday and stumbled onto one I left off my best movie lists couple years ago: Searching for Bobby Fischer, a movie about a sportswriter who discovers that his 7-year old son is a chess prodigy.

Joe Mantegna, Laurence Fishburne, Ben Kingsley; a great cast. Excellent movie.

1) Why would any politician vote against capping the price of insulin? I can think of a reason, but I can?t think of a good reason. How do these people look their constituents in the eye?

Wednesday?s quiz

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

Thursday?s Den: Happy Opening Day??.

13) Two Opening Day games were already postponed until Friday by weather; Boston-New York, Seattle-Minnesota.

12) Cincinnati Reds released OF Shogo Akiyama, eating $8M in process; Akiyama hit .224 for the Reds, with no homers and 21 RBIs in 142 games.

11) Cleveland Guardians signed 3B Jose Ramirez to a 5-year, $124M contract extension.

10) I said the other day the that #7-seed UConn in 2014 was the lowest-seeded team to win the national title in basketball; the 1985 Villanova Wildcats were a #8-seed- they upset Georgetown to win the national title that year.

Since today is Opening Day of baseball season, here is my starting nine of baseball movies:
9) League of Their Own? Tom Hanks manages a team in a female professional baseball league, with Madonna as an outfielder, Geena Davis as the catcher.

Janet Jones is a pitcher for Racine; she is now better known as Mrs Wayne Gretzky. Jon Lovitz is great as a scout for the league. David L Lander is an announcer; he is best known for playing Squiggy in the old Laverne & Shirley TV show.

8) Trouble With the Curve? Clint Eastwood is an aging baseball scout whose old-school ways are at odds with modern thinking. Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Amy Adams are also in this underrated movie.

7) Bad News Bears? Walter Matthau is a Little League coach in California who turns his team around by recruiting an old girlfriend?s daughter to be his team?s pitcher. Tatum O?Neal plays the pitcher; in real-life, her half-brother is Patrick O?Neal, who these days does pregame shows for the Angels and the Anaheim Ducks.

6) The Rookie? True story of a high school baseball coach in Texas who tells his team he?ll try out for the major leagues if the team makes the playoffs. The team makes the playoffs and the coach winds up in the majors; story would be a little sketchy, except it is true.

5) The Natural? An older ballplayer comes out of nowhere to help a struggling team make the playoffs. Robert Redford plays Roy Hobbs; Wilford Brimley is great as the manager of the New York Knights. Movie was filmed in Buffalo, where the Bills used to play before they built Rich Stadium.

4) Little Big League? 12-year old kid inherits the Minnesota Twins after his grandfather dies; he then names himself the manager. Shaky premise but a good movie, with several big leaguers in it.

Ashley Crow plays the kid?s mom; in real life, her son is Pete Crow-Armstrong, a first round pick of the Mets in 2020? he is now in the Cubs? farm system.

T3) Bull Durham? Susan Sarandon is a baseball groupie who has an affair with one player every season; when this movie was made a long time ago, the Durham Bulls were a Class A farm club. These days, they are the Tampa Bay Rays? AAA farm team, with better pitchers than Tim Robbins.

T3) Major League? Owner of the Cleveland Indians puts together a purposely terrible team so they?ll lose and she can move the team to Miami. Movie was made before anyone realized that a baseball team in Miami was a bad idea.

Bob Uecker steals the show as the team?s radio announcer; Charlie Sheen is the relief pitcher, Tom Berenger the veteran catcher.

2) For Love of the Game? A Hall of Fame pitcher at the tail end of his career saves his best game for last. Kevin Costner is the pitcher; JK Simmons is the manager, John C Reilly is the catcher.

1) Moneyball? I?m an A?s fan; what did you expect? Brad Pitt plays Billy Beane, GM of a major league team that succeeds despite having a cheap owner. 20 years later and the same stuff is still going on.

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

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

13) Reds 6, Braves 3:
? ESPN had Reds? 1B Joey Votto miked, was interviewing him while he played the field in the 4th inning Thursday night. To me, this is an unnecessary intrusion on the game; let the guy play, it is a regular season game. Interview him in the dugout while the Reds are batting.
? Brandon Drury hit a 3-run homer in 6th inning to break game open.

12) Cubs 5, Brewers 4:
? Cubs? SS Nico Hoerner hit the major league?s first home run this season.
? Last 11 years, Milwaukee has started 11 different players at 1B in their opener.

11) Cardinals 9, Pirates 0:
? Adam Wainwright has now thrown 32 consecutive scoreless innings vs Pittsburgh.
? Paul Goldschmidt was 1-1 with four walks in this game.

10) They were talking on a San Diego Padres? exhibition game the other night, about a guy named John Roskos, who made the 2000 Padres after he had an awesome spring training.

Roskos had played briefly for the Marlins the previous two years; he started his first two games for San Diego in 2000, but it didn?t go well, and he got sent down to the minors after going 1-27, never to return to the major leagues.

It is so difficult to get to the major leagues, but it is tough to stay there too. A guy goes 4-49 in 37 games over three seasons, and 22 years later, they?re still talking about him.

9) Padres and Minnesota Twins made a trade:
? Minnesota gets P?s Chris Paddack and Emilio Pagan
? San Diego gets P Taylor Rogers and OF Brent Rooker.

8) College basketball lost one of its better TV analysts Thursday; Steve Lavin signed on to coach the San Diego Toreros in the WCC. Lavin used to coach UCLA/St John?s; San Diego is a much harder job than UCLA/St John?s.

7) Why didn?t the Minnesota Twins put a retractable dome over their stadium? Milwaukee did it and they generally average 8,000 or so more fans a game than the Twins do.

6) Last year was first time ever that pitchers started more games with five days? rest than four days? rest. Some teams are going with six-man rotations to start this season.

5) Hopefully the Los Angeles Angels are a contender this year, so their TV guys don?t spend all their time raving about Shohei Ohtani- it is all they ever do now. They?ve got Mike Trout on the team but they are obsessed with Ohtani. Maybe if the team is actually good, they can talk about some of the other 25 guys on the team.

Ohtani apparently spent a good part of his offseason doing commercials/making more $$$; he was on a ton of commercials during ballgames Thursday.

4) At BetMGM, 22.3% of bets to win the NBA title were on the Lakers, most of any team, so they?re pretty darn happy LA has been eliminated from the playoff hunt.

3) Baseball?s All-Star Game is in Dodger Stadium this summer, for first time since 1980.

2) Buffalo Bills signed WR Stefan Diggs to a 4-year, $104M contract; Bills are getting their new stadium, now they?re trying to build a championship team to play in the new stadium.

1) ESPN just signed NFL information guy Adam Schefter to a new contract, for $9M a year; at first I thought it was a misprint, but it is for real. Schefter makes freakin? $9M a year. What a country.
