Thursday’s 6-pack:

Quote of the Day
“I personally think there should be a rookie Cy Young as well. Not to be like, ‘Oh, I should get all this stuff,’ but I was third in the Rookie of the Year to Ronald Acuna Jr and Juan Soto. Pretty generational, but also neither of them pitch, so who am I competing against? … Let’s have a Fernando Valenzuela Award, best rookie pitcher ever.”
Walker Buehler

Thursday’s quiz
Jordan Love is the Packers’ new starting QB; where did he play his college football?

Wednesday’s quiz
1998 was the last time major league baseball had expansion teams (Rays/Diamondbacks).

Steve Kerr was a part of five NBA championship teams as a player, three with the Bulls and two with San Antonio.

Friday’s 6-pack:
Passing yardage leaders in NFL last season:
5,250— Patrick Mahomes
4,739— Justin Herbert
4,694— Tom Brady
4,547— Kirk Cousins
4,475— Joe Burrow
4,438— Jared Goff

Quote of the Day
“Doing nothing is very hard to do……you never know when you’re finished.”
Leslie Nielsen

Friday’s quiz
UNLV’s football team hasn’t won a bowl game since 2000; which former NFL head coach was the Rebels’ coach when they won that bowl game?
Hint: He had six winning seasons in nine years as an NFL coach, won 4 playoff games.

Thursday’s quiz
Jordan Love is the Packers’ new starting QB; he played college football at Utah State.

Wednesday’s quiz
1998 was the last time major league baseball had expansion teams (Rays/Diamondbacks).

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

Friday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here……….​

— Pitchers who were dealt/added at the trade deadline, in their new homes:
Lance Lynn, LA— 4-0, 1.80 in four starts
Michael Lorenzen, Phil— 2-0, 1.06 in two starts, including a no-hitter.
Rich Hill, SD— 0-3, 9.53 in three starts.
Jack Flaherty, Balt— 1-2, 7.07 in three starts
Justin Verlander, Hst— 2-1, 5.00 in three starts (Astros scored 11-12 in wins)
Lucas Giolito, LAA— 1-3, 8.14 in four starts
Dallas Keuchel, Minn— 0-1, 9.45 in two starts.
Aaron Civale, TB— 1-1, 2.93 in three starts
Max Scherzer, Tex— 3-0, 1.80 in three starts,
Jordan Montgomery, Tex— 2-1, 2.50 in three starts.

— Further evidence that run differential is a mostly-useless statistic
San Diego’s run differential: +62, record 58-64
Baltimore’s run differential: +58, record 74-47
You win/lose a lot of close games, your run differential will be misleading.

— Padres’ ace Blake Snell is 10-8, 2.65 in 25 starts this season, best ERA among starting pitchers, but he has also thrown only 136 innings this year, 5.44 IP/start.
In 25 starts this season, Snell has gotten only 3 outs ALL SEASON after the 6th inning— he pitched 7 innings in a June 11 start at Colorado.
Great pitchers help take the strain off a team’s bullpen but going deep into games, but Snell does not do that. Will be interesting to see what kind of a contract he gets this winter.

— Since All-Star break, Washington Nationals are 9-3 in games where the winning run scored from the 7th inning on.

— Oakland A’s are having a miserable season; they’re 34-87, which is hideous, but they’re 7-6 when Paul Blackburn is their starting pitcher. Blackburn was in the All-Star Game last year, it is probably surprising they haven’t traded him to a contender, like they have with all their other good players.

— If you watch a ballgame and when the game ends, you don’t know who the home plate umpire was, it pretty much means that umpire did a good job with balls/strikes.

— Movie of the Day— Good Will Hunting (1997)— A custodian at M.I.T., has a gift for math, but needs help from a psychologist to find direction in his life.
Matt Damon is the custodian, Robin Williams is his counselor. Ben Affleck is Damon’s friend, Minnie Driver is a woman he meets in a bar who becomes his girlfriend.
Robin Williams is great in this movie; in 2014, after he passed away in real life, the bench in the Boston Public Garden where he and Matt Damon had their conversation scene became an impromptu memorial site. People left flowers, quotes, and various items at the bench.

— NFL Trend of the Day— Rams are 6-0 SU/4-2 ATS in their last six road openers.

— Why isn’t Tom Coughlin in the Pro Football Hall of Fame? He won two Super Bowls with the Giants, but did his best coaching in Jacksonville— he had the Jaguars in the AFC championship game in their second year of existence, again in their fifth year in the NFL.

— Michigan State has had two basketball coaches, since 1976.
Pittsburgh Steelers have had three head coaches, since 1969.

— NBA schedule was announced Thursday; teams are down to an average of 9.0 back/backs per team, the lowest it has ever been. God forbid guys play ball on consecutive nights, but they’ve stretched the season out some to reduce back/backs.
Back before the Magic/Bird era, when the NBA wasn’t as popular, teams often played three games in three nights on weekends. No one knew what “load management” was back then.

— Mariners 6, Royals 4— Julio Rodriguez went 5-for-5, with five RBI; he is hitting .321 since the All-Star break. He hit .249 before the break.

— Mets 4, Cardinals 2— After the game, St Louis put OF Lars Nootbaar on the IL, brought up rookie SS Masyn Winn from AAA, one of their best prospects.

— Arizona 3, San Diego 1— Rookie reliever Justin Martinez got the last four outs for his first MLB save; he throws very hard. San Diego is 3-8 in its last 11 games.

— Dodgers 1, Brewers 0— Backup catcher Austin Barnes homered in the bottom of the 8th inning for the game’s only run.

— Browns 18, Eagles 18
Quarterbacks who played in this game didn’t play well.
Browns missed a 41-yard FG to win the game with 2:00 left.
