Sunday’s 6-pack:

Teams with first six picks in tonight’s baseball draft:
1- Pittsburgh
2- Washington
3- Detroit
4- Texas
5- Minnesota
6- Oakland— Please don’t draft a quarterback; drafting a new owner would help.

Quote of the Day
“You just got lesson number one: don’t think. It can only hurt the ballclub.”
Kevin Costner, Bull Durham

Sunday’s quiz
In the movie A Few Good Men, who played the losing lawyer in the climactic courtroom scene?

Saturday’s quiz
Allen Ludden hosted the gameshow Password for 19 years; he was married to Betty White.

Friday’s quiz
Rams have played in five Super Bowls; four different guys started at QB in those five games, with Kurt Warner starting twice. Vince Ferragamo, Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford are the other three quarterbacks.

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

Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

Reds 8, Brewers 5— I don’t usually say stuff like this, but MLB needs to add Reds’ rookie SS Elly De La Cruz to the NL All-Star team. He is must-watch TV, and baseball needs players who are must-watch TV, even if they’ve only been in the big leagues for a month.

In this game, De La Cruz knocked in the go-ahead run with a 7th inning single, then stole 2nd base, then stole 3rd base, then…….while the Milwaukee pitcher was sound asleep on the mound with the ball and his back to home plate, De La Cruz stole home, like a kid in a bad Little League game.

He has invigorated the Reds to a point where they’re in first place now.

Cincinnati was 27-33 when they promoted De La Cruz to the majors; since then, they’re 23-7, and that, in my opinion, makes him deserving of an All-Star spot, Plus, if he plays, it’ll help the TV ratings a little. I’ve heard that is important.

— Angels-Dodgers caught a break from the schedule makers; their series this weekend was only two games- they don’t play Sunday, so their All-Star breaks start a day early, a nice perk to the schedule for those two teams.

— Three Detroit pitchers combined to no-hit Toronto Saturday:
Matt Manning threw 6.2 hitless IP, walked 3 guys.
Jason Foley got the next four outs.
Alex Lange pitched a perfect 9th inning for his 13th save.

— Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Palmer mentioned on the Orioles-Twins game Saturday that he thought the baseball was livelier this season, a big part of why scoring is up this year.

— Major League record for most home runs in a season: 307, by the 2019 Twins.

— Joey Gallo has 228 plate appearances this year; he either walked, struck out or got hit by a pitch in 125 of those 228 at bats (54.8%). Gallo has 15 homers, only 28 RBI; he is 7-42 this season with runners in scoring position. He is a modern-day Dave Kingman, only not as good.

Padres 3, Mets 1
Blake Snell allowed one hit, struck out 11 in six IP.
Loss ends the Mets’ six-game winning streak.

Astros 3, Mariners 2— Light-hitting catcher Martin Maldonado may be hitting .169, but his 8th inning home run won this game for Houston.

Dodgers 10, Angels 5— Halos have lost five in a row, nine of last ten games. Trade deadline is 22 days away; will they trade Shohei Ohtani? Angels are 4.5 games out of the last playoff spot and Mike Trout ain’t walking thru that door anytime soon.

— Why aren’t Dave Parker and/or Dale Murphy in the Hall of Fame? They were both better ballplayers than Harold Baines, who got in a couple years ago.

— Movie of the Day— Margin Call (2011)— Movie about the key people at an investment bank over a 24-hour period during the early stages of the 2008 financial crisis. Not a pleasant movie but a very good one.

Impressive cast; Demi Moore, Kevin Spacey, Stanley Tucci, Mary McDonnell, Jeremy Irons.

— There are 10,043 poker players in the Main Event at the World Series of Poker, a new record. First place in the event will be $12.1M.

— College football bowl trend of the day— Underdogs covered six of last seven Liberty Bowls.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t)
NL: Braves, Reds, Arizona. Wild Cards: Dodgers-Marlins-Phillies
AL: Rays, Guardians, Rangers. Wild Cards: Orioles, Astros, Tor/NYY.

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

Monday’s Den: Thoughts, observations at the All-Star break

It is the All-Star break already; time flies. It has been an interesting baseball season. Here are some quick notes/impressions from the season so far:

— AL Central is terrible; Cleveland (45-45) is in first place, with the Twins (45-46) a half-game behind. All in all, the AL Central is 124-191 (.394) outside its division this season.

— AL East is very good; the Red Sox (48-43) are in last place. All in all, the AL East is 190-127 (.599) outside its division this season.

— In five of six divisions, the division leader has a lead of 2 games or less— lot of close races. Only the 60-29 Atlanta Braves have a decent-sized lead, leading NL East by 8.5 games. Braves have won 27 of their last 32 games.

— Mets have a payroll of $377,380,805; they’re 42-48, seven games out of a playoff spot.

Mets are 32-27 vs righty starting pitchers, 10-21 vs lefty starters.

— Padres have a payroll of $250,806,874; they’re 43-47, six games out of a playoff spot.

— Cincinnati has a payroll of $83,688,333; they’re 25-8 in last 33 games, lead the NL Central.

— Miami Marlins have a payroll of $103,692,500; they’re 53-39, 21-6 in one-run games, and right now, they’re a playoff team.

Last time the Marlins had a winning 162-game season was 2009, when they went 87-75- they were 31-29 in the short season of 2020. Skip Schumaker is your favorite for National League Manager of the Year.

— Texas Rangers have five starters in Tuesday’s All-Star Game, the most for any team since the 1976 Cincinnati Reds.

Rangers haven’t been in the playoffs since 2016; the last three years, they were 150-234 (.391) but Bruce Bochy is a Hall of Fame manager and Texas is much improved at 52-39 this season, even though they hit the All-Star break on a 5-11 skid.

Texas has $200,684,308 payroll; will they look to enhance their roster at the trade deadline?

— This stat is a little weird, but thru Saturday’s games, in AB’s when Mets’ 1B Pete Alonso had an 0-2 count him, he is 5-68 this season. 5 for freakin’ 68 (.074).

By way of comparison:
Freddie Freeman is 20-67 (.299) this season after having an 0-2 count.
Fernando Tatis is 10-52 (.192)
Luis Arraez is 16-53 (.302).

— Bronx Bombers have a payroll of $273,528,489; Aaron Judge is hurt obviously, but they’ve got other stars, and those stars aren’t producing. New York is 49-42, and right now they’re on the outside looking in at the playoff picture.

Bronx is 14-17 since Judge got hurt, hitting .218 in those games; they fired hitting coach Dillon Lawson after Sunday’s loss to the Cubs.

It is New York’s first in-season coaching change since Nardi Contreras replaced Billy Connors in July 1995 as pitching coach on Buck Showalter’s staff. 28 years without an in-season coaching change, long time.

Funny thing is, Bronx opens the post-All-Star Game part of the year in Colorado Friday, where they figure to put up better-than-usual hitting numbers.

— Los Angeles Angels have a payroll of $215,490,192, but Mike Trout is hurt, Anthony Rendon has been a complete bust and the Halos are 45-46, losing nine of last 10 games. Shohei Ohtani is a free agent after this season; the Angels are 5 games out of the last playoff spot.

Angels are 37-29 vs righty starters, 8-17 vs lefties.

Would they trade Ohtani and if they wanted to, what could they get for a guy who will be a free agent three months from now?

— Tampa Bay Rays started the season 13-0, then 29-7; since then, they’re 29-28 and lead the AL East by only two games over Baltimore. Tampa’s starting rotation has been ravaged by injuries; would they make a move at the trade deadline?

—- Toronto Blue Jays are 50-41, seven games behind the Rays— they’d be a Wild Card team right now. Blue Jays are 7-20 vs their AL East rivals, 43-21 against everyone else.

— Teams that are struggling in one-run games:
San Diego 5-15
St Louis 9-19
Minnesota 9-15
Seattle 10-16
Texas 5-12

— Movie of the Day— Rounders (1998)— A young gambler returns to playing high stakes poker to help a friend pay off loan sharks, while balancing his relationship with his girlfriend and his commitments to law school.

Matt Damon is the gambler; Edward Norton plays his friend. John Malkovich is a Russian mobster who runs a poker room, John Turturro plays Joey Knish, e veteran gambler who is a mentor of sorts. Martin Landau is a law professor.

This movie helps propel the poker boom in the late 90’s/early 2000’s. Very good movie, written by the same guys who write the Showtime series Billions.

— College football bowl trend of the day— In the Reliaquest Bowl, SEC teams are 6-2 SU vs Big 14 teams the last eight years.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t)
NL: Braves, Reds, Dodgers. Wild Cards: Arizona-Marlins-Giants
AL: Rays, Guardians, Rangers. Wild Cards: Orioles, Astros, Blue Jays.

Quote of the Day
“It’s very important to us that there be a person [in charge], and this is independent of sovereign wealth funds. I think that in terms of the connection with the community, the connection with the players and their other partners in the league.”
NBA commish Adam Silver, discouraging the idea of other countries buying an NBA team

Tuesday’s quiz

In the movie A Few Good Men, Kevin Bacon played the losing lawyer in the climactic courtroom scene.
