Thursday’s 6-pack:
NFL teams that will have some joint practices this summer:
— Browns-Panthers
— Buccaneers-Steelers
— Giants-Jets
— Dolphins-Bears
— Broncos-49ers
— Colts-Ravens

Quote of the Day
“I have to understand the risks, ask the right questions. But I’m a competitor. I want to play. I’m going to do everything in my power to play.”
Pacers’ star Tyrese Haliburton

Thursday’s quiz
Where did Aaron Judge play his college baseball?

Wednesday’s quiz
20 years ago, the White Sox won the World Series; Paul Konerko hit 40 homers, knocked in 100 runs for Chicago that year.

Tuesday’s quiz
When the Seattle SuperSonics won their only NBA title in 1979, Lenny Wilkens was their coach.

******************************************

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud…….​

— Pirates OF Andrew McCutchen posted this on Twitter about this year’s baseballs:
“I was told by a rep for MLB that the balls are indeed different this year. They stated “higher seams” which produces more drag on the baseball, causing baseballs to not travel as far as they should. When asked why, I was told ‘every baseball is hand sewn so no ball is the same.’”
Batted balls are traveling roughly four feet less this year than the previous nine years; it is hard to believe that a business that is worth so much $$$$ can’t come up with a way to make the balls the same way every year.

— Tampa Bay Rays principal owner Stu Sternberg is in advanced talks to sell the team to a group led by Florida real estate developers, for $1.7B; the Rays are expected to stay in the Tampa area if this sale goes through.
Sternberg bought the team for $200M in 2004; the Rays have tried to get a new ballpark in Tampa or the surrounding area for well over a decade, but the damage done by Hurricane Milton this past winter.
Rays have been to the playoffs five times in the last six years; despite that, they regularly rank near the bottom of the league in attendance.

— Guy that owns the LA Dodgers bought the Lakers this week for $10B or so, that is BILLION, with a B.
The Buss family has owned the Lakers since 1979; they will keep a minority share of the team, just over 15%, and Jeanie Buss will remain the Lakers’ governor and continue to run the team for “at least a number of years.”
Dr Jerry Buss bought the Lakers, the NHL’s Kings and the LA Forum for $67.5M in 1979; Lakers have won 11 titles since then, more than any other NBA team.

— Indiana Pacers traded their first round pick in next week’s NBA Draft to New Orleans, getting back their own first round pick next year, which they had previously traded away.
The trade clears out nearly $3.2M in salary cap space for the Pacers, who now have their own first-round pick in seven consecutive drafts starting in 2026.

— Memphis Grizzlies traded Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic, for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Cole Anthony and four unprotected first-round picks- there is also a swap of future first round picks involved.
Orlando president Jeff Weltman made clear the Magic is taking an aggressive, win-now approach to this offseason. Bane is one of three NBA players with 800 made 3-pointers and 40% 3-point shooting since entering the league in 2020, and he has shot 43.2% on catch-and-shoot 3’s the last five years.

— Houston signed C Steven Adams to a 3-year, $39M contract extension; Houston was 52-30 this past season, was the #2-seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

— NFL teams who won the most games last year (7) without trailing in any of them:
Ravens, Packers, Eagles.

— Famous birthdays, June 19th:
Jerry Reuss, 76
Phylicia Rashad, 76
Duane Kuiper, 75
Kathleen Turner, 71
Mike Renfro, 70
Doug Mientkiewicz, 51
Anthony Parker, 50
Dirk Nowitzki, 47
Jacob deGrom, 37
Joe Noteboom, 30
Jordan Poole, 26
Bennedict Mathurin, 23

— Rays 12, Orioles 8
Baltimore led this game 8-0 in the second inning.
In his last seven games, Brandon Lowe is 13-28 with 8 runs scored.
Tampa Bay has won five of its last six games.

— Dodgers 4, Padres 3
Will Smith hit a walk-off, pinch-hit home run.
Padres had tied the game with two runs in top of the 9th.
Top four hitters in Dodger lineup went 1 for 15.

— Braves 5, Mets 0
Chris Sale went 8.2 IP (116 PT), just missed his first shutout since 2019.
Sale has eight quality starts in his last nine outings.
Atlanta is 21-15 at home, 12-24 on the road.

— Angels 3, Bronx 2
Angels scored winning run in 8th inning, on three walks and an error.
Halos were 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.
New York has lost six games in a row.

— Phillies 4, Marlins 2
Bryson Stott hit a three-run homer.
Ranger Suarez allowed one run, four hits in 7 IP.
Phillies won six of their last seven games.

— Rockies 3, Nationals 1
German Marquez got 17 outs, didn’t allow any runs.
Rockies have won four in row, are 7-7 in last 14 games.
Washington has lost 11 games in a row.

— Blue Jays 8, Diamondbacks 1
Vladimir Guerrero had 2 hits, 3 RBI after walking in his first 3 AB’s.
Toronto improved to 24-13 at home.
Blue Jays are 27-2 when they score 5+ runs.

Friday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here……..​

Colton Cowser hit a 3-run home run.
Rays P Hunter Bigee got hit in the head by a line drive while sitting in the dugout; he left the field on a backboard, but gave the thumbs-up signal as he left.

— Famous birthdays, June 20th:
Candy Clark, 78
Dave Elmendorf, 76
John Goodman, 73
Dickie Thon, 67
Gary Varsho, 64
Nicole Kidman, 58
Rodney Rogers, 54
LaVar Arrington, 47
Mike Birbiglia, 47
Kendrys Morales, 42
Darren Sproles, 42
Josh Childress, 42

— We mentioned yesterday how the Lakers were sold this week; here’s a breakdown.
Mark Walter already owned 27% of the Lakers; back in 2021, Walter paid $1.35B for that 27%. This week, he paid $4.8B for an additional 48% of the franchise, giving him 75%.
The Buss family maintains an 18% stake in the team; other people own the other 7%.

— Jurickson Profar is currently serving an 80-game PED suspension; he is playing rehab games in the minors now, can return to the Braves July 2nd. Coming into this week, Atlanta LF’s were hitting .217 this year, with a .554 OPS, so the Braves will be glad to get him in their lineup.

— Coming into this week, Braves had lost ten consecutive one-run games; they won 5-4 in extra innings Tuesday, so now they’re 1-10 in their last 11 one-run games, 10-19 for the season.

— In a couple weeks, we’ll begin to post college football nuggets; saw something on the Interweb this week that Purdue has only one starter back, out of 22 starters, the kicker and punter. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

— Sacramento State is making a bigger investment in its sports program; they’re joining the Big West Conference in every sport but football, starting in 2026-27- they’re also trying to move up to I-A in football, and for now will be an independent on the gridiron.
The Hornets recently hired former NBA star Mike Bibby as head coach and Shaquille O’Neal as a voluntary GM for the program. Since moving up to Division I in 1992, Sac State has had only two winning basketball seasons, has never played in March Madness.

— Forget to mention, but the DC Defenders won the UFL title, beating Michigan 58-34 in the championship game. Washington QB Jordan Ta’amu threw for 390 yards, four TD’s.

— Random stat: so far this season, major league hitters have swung at 48% of the pitches that were thrown to them.

Quote of the Day
“Honestly, he almost swung, so I don’t know what he’s talking about. Guy stands right on top of the plate, doesn’t like when he gets hit, that’s his problem.”
Astros’ P Hunter Brown, after Angels SS Zach Neto barked at him after getting hit by a pitch in Friday night’s game

**************************************************

Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……..​

Our best wishes go out to Angels’ manager Ron Washington, who is taking an indefinite leave of absence from his job, for medical reasons. Washington is 73 years old; he played 10 years in the major leagues, has managed in the majors for 10 years, getting Texas to the World Series in both 2010 and 2011.
Get well soon, Wash!!!

— I don’t get the whole “opener” thing, and I never have; Tampa Bay started it a few years ago, now a lot of teams do it, but Tampa Bay isn’t one of them, and when the Rays made it to the playoffs, they didn’t do it then. It is a gimmick.
Why start a stiff pitcher to face the best hitters on the other team? Detroit started an opener at Tampa Saturday; he gave up four runs in less than an inning. One year in the playoffs the A’s used Liam Hendriks as an opener; the game was over almost before it started.
Start your best pitchers; why would you use a lesser pitcher to start a game?

— Astros pitcher Hunter Brown has walked 28 batters this season; none of them have scored; he is the only regular starting pitcher who hasn’t allowed one of his walks to score.

— Interesting factoid; Sammy Sosa hit 609 home runs in his 18-year career; his first home run came against Roger Clemens, not a bad way to start.

— Famous birthdays, June 22nd:
Bobby Douglass, 78
Meryl Streep, 76
Lindsay Wagner, 76
Bruce Campbell, 67
Clyde Drexler, 63
Amy Brenneman, 61
Kurt Warner, 54
Ian Kinsler, 43
Danny Green, 38
Josh Naylor, 28
Cam Akers, 26
Kellen Mond, 26

— Right now, Oklahoma City is favored by 7.5 points against the Pacers in tonight’s Game 7 of the NBA Finals; last time a team was favored by this much in a Game 7 was 1966, when the Celtics (-8) beat the Lakers, 95-93.
Average margin of victory in Game 7’s in NBA Finals is 6.9 points; the last six Game 7’s in the Finals have all been decided by 7 or fewer points.

— TJ McConnell is the first bench player in NBA Finals history with:
60+ points
25+ assists
15+ rebounds in an NBA Final.

— NBA is the only league where they announce trades during the playoffs; other leagues keep things under wraps until their seasons are over. Orlando-Memphis recently pulled off a big deal; would the publicity be better if they didn’t distract from the Finals?

— Apparently two rich people have each bid $1.7B to buy the Tampa Bay Rays; the second guy has apparently offered cash. Who the BLEEP has $1.7B in cash laying around?

— There were seven batters hit by pitches in the recently-played Dodgers-Padres games; tensions ran high. Luckily, no one got hurt.

— In the increasingly strange world of college football, Wisconsin has filed a tampering lawsuit against Miami over former DB Xavier Lucas’ recruitment- this has to do with the Hurricanes allegedly poaching Lucas from the Badgers.
Someone needs to come up with a concrete set of rules so BS like this stops.

— An SEC team offered Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia an NIL deal worth more than $4M to bolt the Commodores and join their program— Pavia turned them down.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: NY/Phil, Cubs, Dodgers. Wild Cards: NY/Phil, Giants, Mil/StL
AL: Bronx, Tigers, Astros. Wild Cards: Rays, Blue Jays, Red Sox
