Thought of the Day
“There were points on the back nine today when I thought, ‘Have I let it slip again?’ My battle today was with myself. It wasn’t with anyone else.”
Rory McIlroy, after winning the Masters for the first time
Monday’s quiz
Rickey Henderson played for nine teams his 25-year big league career; what team did he play for last, when he was 44 years old?
Sunday’s quiz
Bob Melvin managed the A’s, the last time they made the playoffs, in 2020.
Saturday’s quiz
Bob Uecker played for the Braves (Milwaukee and Atlanta), the Cardinals and the Phillies.
**********************************************
One of the most fun things I’ve ever done was from 1993-2001, being an assistant coach for the basketball team at Schenectady; I was the nerdy analytics guy, I scouted opponents and helped with game management. It was a great educational experience.
Pat O’Connor was a lefty, a coach on the floor, a leader. He was kind of like the Draymond Green of that team, and this is a compliment. He went on to play college ball at Utica College.
Justin Hoffman was more of a scorer, skilled with the ball in his hands; a solid rebounder, he would’ve scored a lot more points on a lesser team, but one of our other big guys wound up playing in the NBA, so Justin’s opportunities were somewhat limited. He was a terrific player in college, at NYU.
Congrats fellas, it was great fun watching both of you play!!!

Monday’s Den: Major League trends, after the first five series…….
Before we start with our baseball trends today, I’d like to congratulate Pat O’Connor, Justin Hoffman on their induction into the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame. Both guys were on the 1998 Schenectady High team that won the NYS Public High School championship.One of the most fun things I’ve ever done was from 1993-2001, being an assistant coach for the basketball team at Schenectady; I was the nerdy analytics guy, I scouted opponents and helped with game management. It was a great educational experience.
Pat O’Connor was a lefty, a coach on the floor, a leader. He was kind of like the Draymond Green of that team, and this is a compliment. He went on to play college ball at Utica College.
Justin Hoffman was more of a scorer, skilled with the ball in his hands; a solid rebounder, he would’ve scored a lot more points on a lesser team, but one of our other big guys wound up playing in the NBA, so Justin’s opportunities were somewhat limited. He was a terrific player in college, at NYU.
Congrats fellas, it was great fun watching both of you play!!!

— PCA had 11 total bases Sunday night; all-time record for most total bases in a game belongs to Shawn Green, who in a 2002 game for the Dodgers, went 6-6, with four home runs and a double, with 6 RBI, scoring six runs in a 16-3 Los Angeles win.
— Cubs P Justin Steele is out for the year, will have surgery to fix the flexor tendon in his left elbow. It is unknown whether he will have Tommy John surgery or some other kind, but he is done for this season, and probably part of next year.

— Phoenix Suns fired coach Mike Budenholzer after only one season, after he signed up for five years, $50M last year, so he gets $40M to take a hike.
Suns were 36-46 this year, after making the playoffs the last four seasons; next year the Suns will have their fourth head coach in four years.
Budenholzer is 576-411 as an NBA head coach, 56-48 in playoff games. He won an NBA title with the Bucks four years ago. Maybe the problem wasn’t him.
