Quote of the Day
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
Albert Einstein
Sunday’s quiz
Which NFL team has gone the longest since the last time they drafted a quarterback in the first round?
Saturday’s quiz
In the movie Major League, Tom Berenger plays the catcher for Cleveland.
Friday’s quiz
Colorado Rockies have played in one World Series; Clint Hurdle was their manager.
**************************************
Red Raiders led by 9 with 3:14 left in the game.
Florida was 25-27 on foul line, Tech was 7-13.
Gators are in Final Four for first time since they won the 2007 title.
— Duke 85, Alabama 65
Blue Devils led 46-37 at halftime.
Alabama shot 35.4% from floor, 8-32 on arc.
Duke is going to the Final Four for the 18th time.
— This year’s Elite 8: three games between #1-#2 seeds, and a #1-#3 seed game, making it the chalkiest Elite 8 since 2007, when the same thing happened.
In 2009, there were two 1-2 matchups, two 1-3 matchups.
In 2008, all four #1-seeds advanced to the Final Four, the last time that happened; that year, there was a #10-seed in the Elite 8. Davidson had some kid named Steph Curry.
— Final Four of the NIT this week will be in Hinkle Fieldhouse, home of the Butler Bulldogs and site of the climactic scene in Hoosiers, the great Gene Hackman movie.
Semi-finals Tuesday:
North Texas vs Cal-Irvine and Chattanooga vs Loyola-Chicago.
— Does winning the NIT or CBI help a team the next season? Interesting question……..
Last six teams to win the CBI didn’t go to any postseason tournament the next year, so that’s a big no for the CBI, although in 2011, VCU made the Final Four the year after they won it, but that was 14 years ago. Since then, Pitt (2012), Nevada (2016) are only teams who made the NCAA’s the year after winning the CBI
Of the last nine NIT champs, only three made the NCAA’s the next year; Xavier made the Sweet 16 in 2022, Memphis (2021), TCU (2017) are the other two teams.
Since 2008, the 15 NIT champs are a combined 5-6 in NCAA Tourney games the next year.
— Memphis Grizzlies fired coach Taylor Jenkins this week, despite the team’s 44-29 record; Jenkins coached the Grizzlies to a 259-228 record, 9-14 in playoff games. This will be their fourth winning season in five years.
Memphis is 28-15 this year when Ja Morant plays, 16-14 when he doesn’t; this whole situation seems pretty strange- there must be an interesting backstory we don’t know about.
— Fordham Rams hired Cal-Riverside coach Mike Magpayo as its new coach; Riverside was 55-32 in Big West games during his time at Riverside, 89-63 overall.
Fordham was 25-8 two years ago, their only winning season since 2016.
— Arkansas State’s coach bolted to South Florida after the Red Wolves’ 25-11 season that ended in the 2nd round of the NIT; Ark State’s new coach is Ryan Pannone, an assistant coach at Alabama, just like the previous coach (Bryan Hodgson) was.

— If you like baseball and you’re on Twitter, Umpire Scorecards is a good follow; they post a chart for every game, showing how accurate the home plate umpire was in that game, and where the pitches were that he missed. The one thing you learn is, these guys are pretty, pretty good.

— Bronx 20, Brewers 9
Nestor Cortes returned to New York and gave up home runs to the first three hitters he faced, on the first three pitches he threw. Aaron Judge hit three homers, knocked in eight runs.
Weird game; Bronx hit eight home runs in first four innings, made five errors in the first five innings.

Jeremy Pena homered for Houston.

Texas used six pitchers, none of whom got more than six outs.
Wilyer Abreu is 6-9 this week, but Boston pinch-hit for him in 8th inning, because God forbid he hit against a lefty pitcher.

**************************************
Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……..
— Florida 84, Texas Tech 79Red Raiders led by 9 with 3:14 left in the game.
Florida was 25-27 on foul line, Tech was 7-13.
Gators are in Final Four for first time since they won the 2007 title.
— Duke 85, Alabama 65
Blue Devils led 46-37 at halftime.
Alabama shot 35.4% from floor, 8-32 on arc.
Duke is going to the Final Four for the 18th time.
— This year’s Elite 8: three games between #1-#2 seeds, and a #1-#3 seed game, making it the chalkiest Elite 8 since 2007, when the same thing happened.
In 2009, there were two 1-2 matchups, two 1-3 matchups.
In 2008, all four #1-seeds advanced to the Final Four, the last time that happened; that year, there was a #10-seed in the Elite 8. Davidson had some kid named Steph Curry.
— Final Four of the NIT this week will be in Hinkle Fieldhouse, home of the Butler Bulldogs and site of the climactic scene in Hoosiers, the great Gene Hackman movie.
Semi-finals Tuesday:
North Texas vs Cal-Irvine and Chattanooga vs Loyola-Chicago.
— Does winning the NIT or CBI help a team the next season? Interesting question……..
Last six teams to win the CBI didn’t go to any postseason tournament the next year, so that’s a big no for the CBI, although in 2011, VCU made the Final Four the year after they won it, but that was 14 years ago. Since then, Pitt (2012), Nevada (2016) are only teams who made the NCAA’s the year after winning the CBI
Of the last nine NIT champs, only three made the NCAA’s the next year; Xavier made the Sweet 16 in 2022, Memphis (2021), TCU (2017) are the other two teams.
Since 2008, the 15 NIT champs are a combined 5-6 in NCAA Tourney games the next year.
— Memphis Grizzlies fired coach Taylor Jenkins this week, despite the team’s 44-29 record; Jenkins coached the Grizzlies to a 259-228 record, 9-14 in playoff games. This will be their fourth winning season in five years.
Memphis is 28-15 this year when Ja Morant plays, 16-14 when he doesn’t; this whole situation seems pretty strange- there must be an interesting backstory we don’t know about.
— Fordham Rams hired Cal-Riverside coach Mike Magpayo as its new coach; Riverside was 55-32 in Big West games during his time at Riverside, 89-63 overall.
Fordham was 25-8 two years ago, their only winning season since 2016.
— Arkansas State’s coach bolted to South Florida after the Red Wolves’ 25-11 season that ended in the 2nd round of the NIT; Ark State’s new coach is Ryan Pannone, an assistant coach at Alabama, just like the previous coach (Bryan Hodgson) was.

— If you like baseball and you’re on Twitter, Umpire Scorecards is a good follow; they post a chart for every game, showing how accurate the home plate umpire was in that game, and where the pitches were that he missed. The one thing you learn is, these guys are pretty, pretty good.
— Padres 1, Braves 0
Pinch-hitter Yuli Gurriel knocked in the only run with a 7th inning single.
Braves are off to an 0-3 start, scoring total of seven runs.
— Angels 1, White Sox 0
Jose Soriano allowed only four baserunners, no runs in 7 IP (73 PT)
Angels’ TV guys even said that it seemed weird that they took him out.
Yoan Moncada’s 8th inning infield hit knocked in the game’s only run.
— Bronx 20, Brewers 9
Nestor Cortes returned to New York and gave up home runs to the first three hitters he faced, on the first three pitches he threw. Aaron Judge hit three homers, knocked in eight runs.
Weird game; Bronx hit eight home runs in first four innings, made five errors in the first five innings.
— Astros 2, Mets 1
Jeremy Pena homered for Houston.
Mets had only one hit, a Juan Soto double.
First three games of this series, total of only 11 runs have scored.
— Marlins 5, Pirates 4 (12)
Dane Myers’ RBI single was a walk-off winner.
Myers, Otto Lopez, Kyle Stowers had three hits apiece.
Marlins are 2-1 this weekend, with two walk-off wins.
— Rangers 4, Red Sox 3
Adolis Garcia was 3-3, with a double, two-run homer.
Texas used six pitchers, none of whom got more than six outs.
Wilyer Abreu is 6-9 this week, but Boston pinch-hit for him in 8th inning, because God forbid he hit against a lefty pitcher.

Quote of the Day
“One small positive thought can change your whole day.”
Zig Ziglar
Tuesday’s quiz
In 2017, Kansas City Chiefs selected Patrick Mahomes with the 10th pick in the draft; who was the only quarterback selected before Mahomes in that draft?
Monday’s quiz
In the last ten NCAA Tournaments, #1-seeds won the national title seven times.
Sunday’s quiz
New Orleans Saints have gone the longest since the last time they drafted a quarterback in the first round; they drafted Archie Manning, in 1971.
***********************************************************
Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but……
— Way back in 1979, a team selected Dan Marino and John Elway in the same draft; you figure that team would’ve won a Super Bowl or two, but the Kansas City Royals play baseball.
Marino was a pitcher who never played pro baseball; Elway was an outfielder who actually hit .318 in 42 games as an OF for Oneonta in the NY-Penn League, in 1982.
— Boston Red Sox opened their wallet, gave P Garrett Crochet a six-year contract extension worth $170M. Crochet was 6-12, 3.58 with a 1.07 WHIP for a dreadful White Sox team last year; he gave up two runs in 5 IP in his first start for Boston last week.
— Atlanta Braves’ OF Jurickson Profar was suspended 80 games by MLB for a PED violation, adding to the Braves’ troubles this spring. 32-year old Profar signed a three-year, $42M deal this winter. This suspension costs him $6M of that money.
Dodgers 6, Braves 1
Braves put P Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) on the IL.
Atlanta is 0-5; they scored one run in their last three games.
— Detroit Tigers put 2B Gleyber Torres on the IL with an oblique strain; Torres was 3-7 in first two games with the Tigers.
— Last 19 Opening Days, San Francisco Giants have started 19 different left fielders; this year’s left fielder was Heliot Ramos.
— No one said much last year when the Cubs signed P Shota Imanaga, but he’s started 31 games for Chicago, and they’re 24-7 in those 31 games.
— Of the 26 players on the Houston Astros’ Opening Day roster, 16 are international players, the most of any team in the big leagues.
— The record for most home runs in a game? 10, by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987.
— Famous birthdays, April 1st:
Ali McGraw, 86
Annette O’Toole, 73
Jim Jeffcoat, 64
Mark Jackson, 60
Daniel Murphy, 40
Brook Lopez, 37
Robin Lopez, 37
David Dahl, 31
Happy heavenly birthday to my grandmother. Happy birthday Neeny!!!
— Orioles’ OF Colton Cowser broke his left thumb, is out 6-8 weeks; he hurt the thumb sliding headfirst into a base at Toronto over the weekend.
— White Sox 9, Twins 0
Martin Perez threw six no-hit innings, was lifted after throwing 93 pitches.
Andrew Benintendi hit his 2nd HR for the 2-2 White Sox, who were 41-121 last year.

Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but……
— Way back in 1979, a team selected Dan Marino and John Elway in the same draft; you figure that team would’ve won a Super Bowl or two, but the Kansas City Royals play baseball.
Marino was a pitcher who never played pro baseball; Elway was an outfielder who actually hit .318 in 42 games as an OF for Oneonta in the NY-Penn League, in 1982.
— Boston Red Sox opened their wallet, gave P Garrett Crochet a six-year contract extension worth $170M. Crochet was 6-12, 3.58 with a 1.07 WHIP for a dreadful White Sox team last year; he gave up two runs in 5 IP in his first start for Boston last week.
— Atlanta Braves’ OF Jurickson Profar was suspended 80 games by MLB for a PED violation, adding to the Braves’ troubles this spring. 32-year old Profar signed a three-year, $42M deal this winter. This suspension costs him $6M of that money.
Dodgers 6, Braves 1
Braves put P Reynaldo Lopez (shoulder) on the IL.
Atlanta is 0-5; they scored one run in their last three games.
— Detroit Tigers put 2B Gleyber Torres on the IL with an oblique strain; Torres was 3-7 in first two games with the Tigers.
— Last 19 Opening Days, San Francisco Giants have started 19 different left fielders; this year’s left fielder was Heliot Ramos.
— No one said much last year when the Cubs signed P Shota Imanaga, but he’s started 31 games for Chicago, and they’re 24-7 in those 31 games.
— Of the 26 players on the Houston Astros’ Opening Day roster, 16 are international players, the most of any team in the big leagues.
— The record for most home runs in a game? 10, by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987.
