Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack
-- Virginia basketball coach Tony Bennett gets a contract extension thru 2021, and a $200K+ raise to go with it-- he's done well coaching the Cavaliers.
-- Marshall transfer Kareem Canty must be a classic; he committed to Auburn, had second thoughts and said South Florida, now he's back to Auburn. Awesome.
-- Tampa Bay is horrendous, getting shut out on 88 pitches by Henderson Alvarez 1-0 in Miami. Rays have now lost their last eight games.
-- Tom Brady sold his $40M mansion to Dr Dre. Alrighty then.
-- Mike Trout left in the second inning last night, after missing Saturday/Sunday games with a bad back; not good for the Angels.
-- Cleveland Indians beat Boston 5-3, have now won eight in a row at home.

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.........
13) Baseball’s amateur draft is this week, the most inexact of all drafts; for instance, a few years ago the Mets took an OF from Wyoming named Brandon Nimmo, whose high school didn’t have a baseball team- he played American Legion ball.
In Wyoming.
Mets passed on Jose Fernandez, which isn’t good- there are lot of examples of stuff like that happening. Smaller market teams have to make less mistakes than the big money teams in this draft to stay competitive.
12) State of Washington voted in a minimum wage hike to $15 an hour, more than double the federal minimum wage. Things must be good in Washington. Thats bad news for businesses like pizza places or McDonald's.
11) San Diego Padre pitchers threw 248 pitches in a hideous 10-3 loss to the Pirates Monday night; that is 27.6 pitches per inning, which is really painful to watch. Nine inning game took 4:04; only thing that made it bearable was Dick Enberg/Mark Grant on TV- they’re a good pair to listen to, even watching a bad game.
10) Lot of upsets in the NCAA baseball tournament; TCU made it thru to the Super Regionals, despite having to play a 22-inning game late Saturday night/Sunday morning. You want to know where pitching injuries occur, lot of them are because college coaches are butchers when it comes to pitchers’ arms. Kid on Cal-Irvine started Monday on two days’ rest, after he threw 107 pitches in his previous outing. Oy.
9) Alabama football coach Nick Saban signed a deal that pays him $6.9M a year; Kirby Smart, who is his defensive coordinator, will make $1.3M a year. Simply wow-- I mean, they're paying freakin' Lane Kiffin $680,000.
8) 42 major league games this year have been 0-0 after five innings, which works out to 4-5 per week. Just thought you’d like to know.
7) Clayton Kershaw’s great uncle is credited with discovering the planet Pluto, at least that’s what the White Sox announcers said during the game Monday night and I believe them. Who could make that up?
6) Speaking of those announcers, Hawk Harrelson/Steve Stone voiced a preference for all baseball players to work on one-year contracts every year, thinking effort would increase with hungrier players. I’m guessing that neither guy felt that way when they were major league players.
5) Tickets for Games 3-4 of the Stanley Cup Final in Manhattan are more expensive right now than Super Bowl tickets were; then again, the game is indoors and it isn’t February. Cheapest ticket for Game 3 is still more than $1,000.
4) San Francisco Dons signed a 3-star recruit in guard Devin Watson, who was recruited by lot of Pac-12 schools; now all they have to do is keep him- Rex Walters lost PG Cody Doolin last year- kid will play his last season of college ball at UNLV this fall. Signing a kid is one thing; keeping them in the program is just as important.
3) Sergio Garcia (59) and Adam Scott (51) have played in the most consecutive golf majors; KJ Choi (48) has the 3rd-longest streak, but it looks like he will miss the US Open, after failing to qualify by a stroke Monday.
2) World Cup soccer teams must be training here before going to Brazil for the tournament; Mets shared their hotel in Philly with the Nigerian soccer team- they’re sharing their hotel in Chicago with the Mexican team.
1) Big week for former Marist basketball coaches; first Jeff Bower landed a gig as the Pistons’ new GM, now Chuck Martin gets an assistant’s job at Indiana. Red Foxes will have their third head coach in three seasons this fall.

Wednesday, June 4
Rockies' OF Carlos Gonzalez, doubtful Wednesday
Gonzalez was forced to leave Tuesday's game with left index finger injury and is not expected to return for Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.
Hamilton returns to Angels but Trout leaves with ailing back
Angels left fielder Josh Hamilton was in the midst of a scorching hot
start to the 2014 season before an unfortunate decision to slide head first into first
base against the Seattle Mariners on April 8 resulted in his tearing a ligament in his
left thumb, an injury that cost him 48 games.
Hamilton was batting .444/.545/.741 with two home runs and six RBIs over eight games
before landing on the 15-day disabled list on April 9 and subsequently undergoing thumb
surgery. On Tuesday night, he returned to action in the Angels' 7-2 loss and picked up
right where he left off, finishing 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run. In his first at-bat, Hamilton hit a blast to straightaway center field that would have cleared the fence in most parks but was flagged down by Dexter Fowler.
"It felt good, I felt calm, I was seeing the ball, and overall, the at-bats felt good," Hamilton said.
With Hamilton back in the fold, the Angels were hopeful of finally putting their primary lineup on the field and getting the chance to watch that group work in concert. However, after one trip through the batting order, that dream was deferred when center fielder Mike Trout departed with mid-back discomfort after striking out in his first at-bat. Trout had missed the previous two games with lower-back stiffness and leaves the Angels wondering when he will be healthy enough to return unencumbered.
"We'll definitely take a half-step back here and try to figure out what's going on," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said.

What to watch for: Since winning eight of his first nine starts, the A’s have lost each of Chavez’s last two outings to the Blue Jays and Tigers. New York has dropped five of its past six home contests, while scoring two runs or less four times in this span. However, the Yankees have won five of their past seven Game 2’s of a series played in the Bronx.
Red Sox at Indians – 7:05 PM EST
Probable Pitchers:
BOS: Workman (0-0, 3.24 ERA)
CLE: Kluber (6-3, 3.04 ERA)
Series recap: The Indians remain hot by picking up their fifth straight win in last night’s 5-3 triumph over the Red Sox. Cleveland is riding an eight-game winning streak at Progressive Field, while scoring at least five runs in seven of those victories. Boston has dropped two straight since winning seven consecutive games.
What to watch for: Cleveland has won five of its past seven home series finales, while the Tribe is a perfect 5-0 in Kluber’s previous five trips to the mound. The Red Sox are currently on a seven-game ‘under’ streak, while posting a 3-7 record in the last 10 games away from Fenway Park.
Blue Jays at Tigers – 7:08 PM EST
Probable Pitchers:
TOR: Dickey (5-4, 4.30 ERA)
DET: Porcello (8-2, 3.68 ERA)
Series recap: Following eight scoreless innings, the Blue Jays and Tigers combined to score eight runs in the ninth inning as Toronto held off Detroit, 5-3 to cash as +130 road underdogs. Toronto picked up just its second win in the last six tries at Comerica Park, while remaining in first place atop the AL East.
What to watch for: Since allowing 15 runs to the Indians on May 14, the Jays have won 15 of their past 18 games, while posting an incredible 9-1 road record the last 10 tries. The Tigers are 7-1 in Porcello’s last eight starts, but Detroit has scored three runs or less in each of his past three home outings.
Orioles at Rangers – 8:05 PM EST
Probable Pitchers:
BAL: Norris (3-5, 4.04 ERA)
TEX: Martinez (1-1, 2.75 ERA)
Series recap: Baltimore’s offense exploded late in an 8-3 blowout of Texas last night by plating six runs in the eighth inning to go ‘over’ the total of 9 ½. Following a four-game skid, the Orioles have won three straight contests, their longest winning streak since May 10.
What to watch for: Norris has allowed four earned runs in three of his last four trips to the mound, while Baltimore owns a 2-4 record in his six road starts. Texas has compiled a 5-1 record in the last six games off a loss, but the Rangers have scored three runs or less in four consecutive contests. The late outburst by the Orioles last night snapped a six-game ‘under’ streak at home for the Rangers.
Angels at Astros – 8:10 PM EST
Probable Pitchers:
LAA: Richards (4-2, 3.64 ERA)
HOU: Cosart (4-4, 4.18 ERA)
Series recap: The Astros snapped a mini two-game skid by exploding for seven runs in a 7-2 blowout of the Angels on Tuesday as +120 home underdogs. Los Angeles dropped its fourth straight game, while the Halos have given up at least five runs each of the last five contests (all ‘overs’).
What to watch for: The Angels have put together a 5-2 record in Richards’ seven road starts, in spite of the right-hander lasting just 0.2 innings in a 9-5 defeat at Oakland in his previous outing. The Astros have won four of their last six Game 2’s of a series, including three straight victories in this situation at Minute Maid Park.
June 4, 2014
Athletics at Yankees – 7:05 PM EST

Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack
-- Blue Jays won in Detroit, are now 16-3 in their last nineteen games.
-- NFL isn't using a Roman numeral for Super Bowl 50, which would be SBL.
-- San Diego beat the Pirates 3-2, despite getting only one hit.
-- Pittsburgh is going bring hot outfield prospect Gregory Polanco soon; no one is saying exactly when, but enough already, bring the kid up.
-- Samford will fire hoop coach Benny Seltzer; 14 players have transferred out of the program the last two years-- thats a whole team.
-- Kings 3, Rangers 2 OT-- LA's last OT win in a home playoff game? 2001.
**********
Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind.........
13) CBSSports was saying yesterday how over 10% (14+ out of 127) starting QBs in D-I football this season will be transfers, so its not just basketball where kids bolt for greener pastures.
12) Could this be a down year for QBs in the SEC? Missouri’s Maty Mauk was picked by SEC SIDs as the best passing QB in the league this year, which would indicate a down year, unless one or more of the new kids emerges.
11) 49ers signed QB Colin Kaepernick to a six-year $126M contract, $61M of which is guaranteed.
10) Illinois replaces Maryland in the Jimmy V Classic next fall; they’ll play Villanova, while Louisville-Indiana will be the featured half of the twinbill.
9) Agree or disagree: Jimmy Rollins is a Hall of Fame player? Mike Schmidt was saying he is this week, I’m leaning towards no but have to look into it more. What do you think?
8) Jason Lane hit .241 with 61 homers in six years as an outfielder with the Astros, from 2002-07; seven years later, Lane returned to the majors as a pitcher with San Diego, retiring all 10 Pirates he faced in relief Tuesday night. Interesting story; had the Astros’ 18-inning playoff game in 2005 gone one more inning, Lane was going to pitch the 19th inning in that game.
7) Matt Kuchar withdrew from the Memphis Open golf tournament this week, leaving Dustin Johnson (12-1) as the wagering favorite in the field.
6) Paul George’s 3rd-team all-NBA selection kick-started a $7M bonus from the Pacers, not a bad payday.
5) DeJounte Murray is a 4-star recruit who will be playing for Lorenzo Romar at Washington, good get for the Huskies.
4) Charles Cooke scored 14.3 ppg for James Madison last year; he transfers to Dayton, where he’ll have two years to play after sitting out next season. Glad to see the Cooke family doesn’t have any sick relatives to use as an excuse for Charles to be eligible to play immediately.
3) Chattanooga coach Will Wood got a nice contract extension from the Mocs; Wood is one more good year away from breaking that contract to move on to greener pastures (Mississippi State next spring?); he is VCU guy and plays that fast-paced style that will be popular with fans, as long as he wins with it.
2) Will Lamar Odom be oldest player ever in the Las Vegas Summer League? Is it possible there will be Kardashians at UNLV to watch the summer league games, and if so, will I meet any of them? (No!!!) Are the Knicks serious about signing Odom? Is he serious about playing again?
1) Looks like San Jose Sharks will be hosting an outdoor hockey game next winter, probably in the 49ers’ new stadium in Santa Clara, or would they use the Giants’ baseball park?

Away dogs continue to roll against runline
If you backed away dogs against the runline in major league action Wednesday night you probably went home happy.
Road underdogs took it to their home side counterparts last night going 8-2 against the runline, a success rate of an impressive 80 percent.
Taking away dogs against the runline has been the best bet in baseball all season, hitting at almost 64 percent for the season.
The biggest away dogs to come through were the Miami Marlins at +197, defeating the Tampa Bay Rays 5-4.
Angels' CF Mike Trout, doubtful Thursday
Trout aggravated his nagging back injury and did not play Wednesday. He is not expected to return Thursday against the Astros.
Jays' 1B Edwin Encarnacion, questionable Thursday
Encarnacion was lifted from Wednesday's game due to back stiffness and he is questionable for Thursday against the Tigers.
Tigers' Iglesias ruled out for season
The Detroit Tigers confirmed Wednesday that shortstop Jose Iglesias will not return this season from stress fractures in both shins.
Iglesias has been sidelined since spring training and was not expected to be back this year. An recent examination determined that he's making progress but not enough to consider playing in 2014.
Rockies' Gonzalez goes on DL in effort to heal ailing finger
Before losing 16-8 to the Arizona Diamondbacks and yielding a season-high in runs, the Colorado Rockies placed left fielder Carlos Gonzalez on the disabled list with inflammation in his left index finger. He originally injured the finger May 1 and re-aggravated it three times, most recently on Tuesday when he came out of the game after five innings.
Gonzalez, who has also been bothered with left knee tendinitis since the middle of last season, had spoken with manager Walt Weiss about his situation before Tuesday's game. Going hitless in two at-bats in that game deepened his slump to 2-for-24 and convinced Gonzalez that the disabled list was his best option.
