Tweet of the Day
“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.

Tweet of the Day
“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.”
247Sports national basketball director Eric Bossi, talking about Bronny James
Saturday’s quiz

**************************************************
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.

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.”
247Sports national basketball director Eric Bossi, talking about Bronny James

**************************************************
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.
