**********************************
Friday’s Den: Random stuff with weekend here…….
13) Reds 6, Braves 3:
— ESPN had Reds’ 1B Joey Votto miked, was interviewing him while he played the field in the 4th inning Thursday night. To me, this is an unnecessary intrusion on the game; let the guy play, it is a regular season game. Interview him in the dugout while the Reds are batting.
— Brandon Drury hit a 3-run homer in 6th inning to break game open.
12) Cubs 5, Brewers 4:
— Cubs’ SS Nico Hoerner hit the major league’s first home run this season.
— Last 11 years, Milwaukee has started 11 different players at 1B in their opener.
11) Cardinals 9, Pirates 0:
— Adam Wainwright has now thrown 32 consecutive scoreless innings vs Pittsburgh.
— Paul Goldschmidt was 1-1 with four walks in this game.
10) They were talking on a San Diego Padres’ exhibition game the other night, about a guy named John Roskos, who made the 2000 Padres after he had an awesome spring training.
Roskos had played briefly for the Marlins the previous two years; he started his first two games for San Diego in 2000, but it didn’t go well, and he got sent down to the minors after going 1-27, never to return to the major leagues.
It is so difficult to get to the major leagues, but it is tough to stay there too. A guy goes 4-49 in 37 games over three seasons, and 22 years later, they’re still talking about him.
9) Padres and Minnesota Twins made a trade:
— Minnesota gets P’s Chris Paddack and Emilio Pagan
— San Diego gets P Taylor Rogers and OF Brent Rooker.
8) College basketball lost one of its better TV analysts Thursday; Steve Lavin signed on to coach the San Diego Toreros in the WCC. Lavin used to coach UCLA/St John’s; San Diego is a much harder job than UCLA/St John’s.
7) Why didn’t the Minnesota Twins put a retractable dome over their stadium? Milwaukee did it and they generally average 8,000 or so more fans a game than the Twins do.
6) Last year was first time ever that pitchers started more games with five days’ rest than four days’ rest. Some teams are going with six-man rotations to start this season.
5) Hopefully the Los Angeles Angels are a contender this year, so their TV guys don’t spend all their time raving about Shohei Ohtani- it is all they ever do now. They’ve got Mike Trout on the team but they are obsessed with Ohtani. Maybe if the team is actually good, they can talk about some of the other 25 guys on the team.
Ohtani apparently spent a good part of his offseason doing commercials/making more $$$; he was on a ton of commercials during ballgames Thursday.
4) At BetMGM, 22.3% of bets to win the NBA title were on the Lakers, most of any team, so they’re pretty darn happy LA has been eliminated from the playoff hunt.
3) Baseball’s All-Star Game is in Dodger Stadium this summer, for first time since 1980.
2) Buffalo Bills signed WR Stefan Diggs to a 4-year, $104M contract; Bills are getting their new stadium, now they’re trying to build a championship team to play in the new stadium.
1) ESPN just signed NFL information guy Adam Schefter to a new contract, for $9M a year; at first I thought it was a misprint, but it is for real. Schefter makes freakin’ $9M a year. What a country.

*****************************
Saturday’s Den: Wrapping up the second day of baseball…….
13) The classic baseball movie Major League came out 33 years ago this week, which makes me feel old; the plot of that movie is being played out in Oakland, where the A’s have assembled a very bad baseball team. Not sure if ownership is trying to lose so much that attendance will go in the tank, which will justify a move to Las Vegas/Portland, but it seems that way.
In 1979, the A’s went 54-108; I was 19 and it was a long summer, but at least that team had a young Rickey Henderson. Not much hope for this group right now.
12) Through two days, 20 games:
— Most pitches thrown: Robbie Ray 96; Yu Darvish/Frankie Montas 92
— Home teams are 11-9; over is 10-9-1.
11) Giving umpires a microphone to announce to the crowd how instant replay reviews turn out is a great idea. 20 years late, but better late than never.
10) Padres 3, Diamondbacks 0:
— Thru two games, Arizona has zero hits in innings 1-6.
— Eric Hosmer had three hits, scored twice for San Diego.
9) Giants 6, Marlins 5 (10):
— Miami scored three runs in ninth, took a 5-4 lead, but couldn’t hold it.
— Thairo Estrada tied the game with a 9th-inning homer for the Giants; Austin Slater walked it off with a 10th-inning double.
8) Rangers 10, Blue Jays 8:
— Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios didn’t get an out until his 31st pitch; it was the only out he got.
— Texas led 6-0 in second inning; it was tied by the fifth inning.
7) Bronx 6, Red Sox 5 (11):
— Game was 3-2 after first inning, almost didn’t get over the total.
— Newly-acquired Josh Donaldson walked it off with an 11th-inning single.
— Teams combined to go 3-20 with runners in scoring position.
6) Tigers 5, White Sox 4:
— Eric Haase tied game with a 9th inning homer.
— Javier Baez walked it off with a 10th-inning single.
— Chicago 3B Yoan Moncada (oblique) is out for three weeks.
5) Mariners 2, Twins 1:
— Mitch Haniger hit a 2-run homer in the first, Seattle’s only runs.
— Robbie Ray tossed 7 innings, 96 innings, more than any pitcher so far this week.
— Teams combined to go 0-12 with runners in scoring position.
4) Mets 7, Nationals 3:
— Of course there was a bench-clearing incident in a game on AppleTV.
— Mets have been getting with lot of pitches, and they’re tired of it.
— McNeil went 3-4, scored twice, knocked in two runs.
3) Astros 13, Angels 6:
— Thru two games, Houston has hit eight home runs.
— Bregman/Tucker both hit two homers in this game.
— Angels’ bullpen gave up 11 runs in five innings.
2) Braves 7, Reds 6:
— Matt Olson had his first three hits for Atlanta.
— Braves led 7-0 in third inning, hung on for dear life.
— Trvis d’Arnaud knocked in three runs for Atlanta.
1) I pay a decent amount of money for the Extra Innings package on DirecTV, so I can watch any major league game being played; now comes word that AppleTV is going to have a Friday night doubleheader every week- those games aren’t on the Extra Innings package. Right now they’re free, but that is temporary; doubtful I’m going to shell out more money for another TV station.
All these companies are nickel/diming us with these “plus” channels; CNN+, Paramount+. Peacock, A&E+, AppleTV+. It all adds up; lot of small charges add up to a big charge. Oy.
