Tweet of the Day
“I think the last several weeks I’ve been able to reflect on a lot of things. The one thing I can tell you without question: I missed my job. I love my job and I want to do my job for a long time. That’s what is positive. Now, for me to be effective doing that, I think I have to wake up a little bit and maybe do some things from a lifestyle standpoint, a personal habit standpoint, that I’ve been very, very, very inconsistent with my entire adult life.
And I said that jokingly earlier, can you imagine a doctor telling you to lose weight, eat right and exercise? I’ve been told that a long time, but I’m taking that serious for the first time I probably have in my life.”

“I swear, these guys feed off of it. The fans are a big part of our success here, I think. It was pretty jacked-up out there for the seventh game of the year. Had that vibe that we’ve become accustomed to here at this place.”

Friday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….
— I’ve switched the TV in my house from DirecTV to YouTube TV; I have MLB.TV as an add-on with YouTube TV— you can watch replays of the day’s ballgames all night long, if you like. This is a good thing; you can pick which team’s announcers you listen to, also.
— Weird baseball schedule this week; there were a total of 22 games scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday- only 3 of the 22 games were night games. Lot of Thursday’s games got rained out and will be played Friday, but there have been a ton of day games this week.
— Most whiffs induced by a pitcher in a game this season:
25— Jacob deGrom (on 48 swings)
22— Nick Lodolo (48 swings)
20— Jesus Luzardo (49 swings)
20— Blake Snell (45 swings)
19— Cristian Javier (52 swings)
— Thursday night was Brian Snitker’s 1,000th regular season game as the Atlanta Braves’ manager; he’s had the Braves in the playoffs the last five years, winning the 2021 World Series.
Last year, Snitker was 21-37 on replay challenges, after going only 6-26 the previous two years combined. Atlanta must’ve hired a new video guy to advise on challenges.
— Braves 7, Padres 6
Arcia walked it off with a 9th inning single; Padres blew a 6-4 8th inning lead.
Blake Snell threw 88 pitches, only got 11 outs.
Juan Soto is off to a 4-25 start this season; he hit only .236 in 52 games after being traded to San Diego last summer.
— Rockies 1, Nationals 0— Only 12th 1-0 game in Coors Field history.
— Giants 16, White Sox 6— San Francisco hit five home runs in this game; they have 15 homers in their first six games this season.
— Don Mattingly is a coach for the Blue Jays this season; just looks odd seeing him a Toronto hat.
— White Sox OF Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is out 2-3 weeks.
— Significant transfer in college basketball; Arizona PG Kerr Kriisa bolts from Tucson to play next season for West Virginia, a solid addition for Bob Huggins.
— Surprising fact: Clippers have beaten the Lakers 11 games in a row.
— They have this par-3 tournament at the Masters on Wednesday; a golfer named Seamus Power got a hole-in-one, on CONSECUTIVE HOLES. This is amazing; who gets a hole-in-one on consecutive holes? Despite that, Power didn’t win the tournament; Tom Hoge did.
Odd fact: The winner of the par 3 tournament has never won the actual Masters that year.
— Jon Rahm double-bogeyed the first hole Thursday, then shot 9-under over the last 17 holes, showing mental toughness. Would’ve been easy to go on tilt after such a cruddy start- he 4-putted that first hole.

“Obviously, there was so much talk and speculation on whether or not he deserved to be here. If you were here and didn’t know anything about who was who when they took the names out, you would certainly feel that he belonged. In a class that doesn’t have many guys who make catch and shoot jump shots, that’s one thing he did to separate himself from other guys here.”

Saturday’s Den: XFL trends, and some observations……..
— Chicago White Sox’ last 126 games have all been started by right-handed pitchers; Dallas Keuchel was the last lefty to start a game for the Pale Hose.
— In 2021, there were 277 home runs hit in Oriole games at Camden Yards; last year, after they moved the left field fence back, there were only 151 homers hit in Baltimore home games.
— College kid named Brady Ware from the U of Indianapolis tossed a no-hitter this week, and also hit for the cycle in the same game. You don’t see that every day.
— Mets 9, Marlins 3— Miami P Edwin Cabrera got only eight outs on 85 pitches; he didn’t give up a hit, but walked seven guys. Mets scored nine runs despite going 2-15 with runners in scoring position. Tyler Megill threw six scoreless innings.
— Blue Jays 4, Angels 3— Trout/Ohtani were 3-8; rest of the Angels were 0-22. Sandoval threw six solid innings, but Anaheim’s bullpen blew a 3-1 lead in 7th inning.
— Pirates 13, White Sox 9— Pittsburgh is off to a 5-2 start; Reynolds tripled, homered, scored three runs, knocked in six more. White Sox’ last seven games went over the total.
— Cubs 2, Rangers 0— Marcus Stroman hasn’t allowed a run in 12 IP this season, putting only 11 men on base.
— Padres 5, Braves 4— From 2019-22, San Diego reliever Brent Honeywell had four operations in three years on his throwing arm; he got his first career win in this game, in the city where he used to go to games as a kid.
— Phillies 5, Reds 2— JT Realmuto hit a 448-foot home run as the Phillies won their home opener, after starting the season with a 1-5 road trip.
— North Carolina’s leading scorer, Caleb Love, transferred to Michigan this week. Love led the Tar Heels last year, scoring 16.7 ppg, grabbing 3.7 rebounds/game, dishing out 2.8 assists/game.
— Phillies’ 1B Darick Hall hurt his thumb, meeds surgery, is out indefinitely.
— In the history of The Masters, there has been only one hole-in-one on the 213-yard, 4th hole. Back in 1992, Jeff Sluman used a 4-iron to ace the hole.
All these years, and it has only happened once. Pretty impressive.
— RIP to former Ohio U/LaSalle basketball coach Billy Hahn, who passed away this week after suffering a heart attack. He was 69 years old.
Hahn spent 12 years on the coaching staff at Maryland under Gary Williams, helping lead the Terrapins to the 2002 national title. He spent the last 10 years of his coaching career as an assistant at West Virginia under Bob Huggins, retiring after the 2016-17 season.
RIP, coach.

**************************************************
Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……..
— I’m watching the Las Vegas-St Louis XFL game Saturday; the game goes to overtime, the league’s first OT game this season, Funny thing was, not many people seemed to know what the rules for overtime were, then Las Vegas seemed to get the short end of the stick on their 2-point conversion in overtime, and St Louis won, 21-17.
XFL has been fun to watch this spring, but both teams in this game had QB’s who seemingly came from nowhere to suddenly be starters. Las Vegas’ QB was starting only his 4th game since he graduated from high school, eight years ago. He started one game in college, and he went to three different colleges.
AJ McCarron was out for St Louis; their backup QB was Dak Prescott’s backup at Mississippi State for a while, then transferred to I-AA Chattanooga and played three years there- this was his first professional start. St Louis is 6-2, but has three wins by 4 or fewer points.
Both QB’s played well enough, it was just a little strange.
— Florida Atlantic signed basketball coach Dusty May to a 10-year contract to keep coaching the Owls, with a salary of over $1M a year. FAU was 35-4 this year, and made the Final Four as a #9-seed; they’re moving from Conference USA to the AAC next season.
— Southern Utah hired Rob Jeter as its new basketball coach; Jeter led Western Illinois to a 16-14 record this season, the Leathernecks’ first winning season on 10 years.
Southern Utah went 67-29 the last three years under Todd Simon; he bolted to Bowling Green, to become the Falcons’ new coach.
— Rays 11, A’s 0
Tampa Bay is 8-0, with all eight wins by 4+ runs.
Wins have come against Washington, Detroit and the A’s, three dismal teams.
A’s lost Fujinami’s first two starts by a combined 24-1, though in fairness, he was much better in this game than in his first start.
— Phillies 3, Reds 2
Season is 10 days old, Reds are already 0-4 in games where winning run scored from 7th inning on. Cincinnati has trailed only one of their games after five innings (5-1-1) but they’re 3-4.
— Mets 5, Marlins 2
Kodai Senga won his first two starts with the Mets, allowing two runs in 11.1 IP. Both starts came against the Marlins, so caution is advised before putting him in Cooperstown, but early returns have been positive.
— White Sox 11, Pirates 5
Chicago’s last eight games all went over the total. Three of the White Sox’ first four batters are hitting .343 or better.
— Twins 9, Astros 6
Houston is off to a 3-6 start, losing five of their last six games. Seven of their last eight games went over the total.
— New York 4, Baltimore 1
Rookie P Johny Brito allowed one run in 5 IP; he’s allowed 8 baserunners, one run in 10 IP in his first two major league starts.
— Arizona 12, Dodgers 8
Top three guys in Arizona’s lineup went 9-14, with six runs scored, six RBI.
Diamondbacks are 5-4, but this was their first game this year where they led after five innings. Arizona is tied with the Dodgers/Padres atop the NL West.
— Red Sox 14, Tigers 5
Boston is 4-4; they’ve scored 9-9-6-14 runs in the wins. They’re 0-2 when they score less than six runs. Over is 5-2-1 in their games so far.
— Angels 9, Blue Jays 5
Trout hit his third homer and Rendon was back in the lineup. He makes a big difference in their lineup, batting behind Ohtani.
Angels are 5-3, in first place at this early stage of the season. They have a huge decision coming up, whether to trade Ohtani before he hits the open market next winter, but if they’re competing for a playoff spot, they can’t trade him, can they?
— Cardinals 6, Brewers 0
Big win for St Louis; they would’ve been five games behind Milwaukee had they lost this game. Nolan Arenado hit his 300th career home run in this game.
