2014-15 ARIZONA ST SUN DEVILS SCHEDULE

Fri, Nov 14 vs Chicago St W 86-50 1-0 (0-0)

Mon, Nov 17 vs Bethune-Cookman W 49-39 2-0 (0-0)

Thu, Nov 20 vs Loyola Marymount W 68-44

A 49-39 win over Bethune-Cookman is pretty bizarre.

I hope we play Iowa State in the next round. That would be a nice early opportunity for a quality win.

That's the type of game Maryland would've lost in the past several years. Trimble was huge, love that he made all but one free throw, including two in clutch time. Wells pressed a bit in the first half but did his thing down the stretch. I liked how Layman was assertive. Wiley made a few big shots. Dodd seemed to get stronger, he has great size I'd like to see him get some more touches. First time I've seen Pack he seemed okay, played solid defense and hustled. Good win, never know how that might help come tournament selection time. Arizona State may beat some teams, especially if they shoot threes like that. We could've gotten out on them more.

I'm going to the Wizards game tomorrow, I'll try to catch the game at the arena. Can't remember the last time we won an early season tournament. Would be great.

Nice win for the Terps. Trimble set a single game scoring record for a Terps freshman. He scored 31 points beating out Joe Smiths 29.

Gotta love a point guard who goes 4-6 from three and 13-14 from the line. Would love to see some assists, but take what the D gives I suppose.

11 FG attempts and 31 points - that's tremendous efficiency. Speaking of which, AZ St isn't going to lose many more games making 14 of 27 3's. Trimble's not going to continue shooting like that, but... Pack is going to be a lot better than his 0 for 6. Wells looked in better shape than last season - I thought he was too bulky last season. He's definitely the team leader - that's fine as long as he plays under control. Nice start by Dodd - hopefully he builds on it.

    • Was just flipping through the channels and I came across The David Rubenstein Show that airs on Bloomberg TV. (He was interviewing Jane Goodall) I have Fubo now and I don’t remember the Bloomberg network on other services I have had in the past. Makes me wonder a few things: 1) Were Bloomberg and Rubenstein behind MASN going to Fubo? 2) wonder if Os games eventually end up on the Bloomberg network and their app?
    • Looks good. Last time Mateo was 0 for 2 with 2 K's vs Ragans (starting in CF), so need to give him a start. However, Urias and Westburg were flipped on defense. That would be my guess.
    • Did/do Elias & Co. really think he was/is ready for prime time? I can't believe they bent to pressure to bring him up. This is a cautionary tale that there is a big difference between spring training/AAA and the major leagues. I'm guilty as one who wanted to see him up, but this isn't working. It's really hard to watch. I feel for the kid.
    • I think he makes it through the road trip at least. Don't think they would be flying a prospect across the country. If he still looks lost at the plate ,can see him being sent down on the off day next Thursday. Or maybe they trade him to the A's for Blackburn, Gelof, Max Muncy and Mason Miller before the series.😀
    • Machado (207 games) vs. Henderson (202 games) 1. 7.5 bWAR vs. 8.0 bWAR 2. 912 PA vs. 835 PA 3. 239 hits vs. 194 hits 4. 21 HR vs. 38 HR 5. 97 RBI vs. 115 RBI 6. 8 SB's vs. 15 SB's 7. .279 BA vs. 259 BA 8. .309 OBP vs. 331 OBP 9. .435 SLG vs. .493 SLG 10. .744 OPS vs. .823 OPS 11. 101 OPS+ vs. 130 OPS+ 12. All-Star + Gold Glove + MVP-9 vs. ROY + Silver Slugger + MVP-8 Henderson was clearly more advanced offensively upon debuting, but he was 13 months older. Machado was the more fluid defender I'd say. It's super close in my opinion.
    • He can only play RF or DH.   Among players with 40+ PAs, Ryan O’Hearn leads the league in xwOBA at .531. He has a .950 OPS with .260 BABIP.  Despite not playing against lefties, I can’t see them decreasing O’Hearn’s role.  Adley often takes the DH spot vs lefties. I’m not sure if Elias/Hyde are fully comfortable yet with Kjerstad in RF.  He may be a downgrade from Tony defensively. Tony has struggled at the plate so far but he’s a streaky hitter that will be close to .800 OPS and 30 HRs when the season is over. It’s not a sure thing that we get better production from Kjerstad the rest of the way.  Replacing Tony with Kjerstad also makes us our lineup very lefty heavy. I don’t think Kjerstad is a massive upgrade from what we currently have in those spots given what we’ve seen in terms of MLB adjustment periods. Now maybe we can trade Tony or O’Hearn for a key piece while replacing most of their production.  However, it’s not clear what their trade value is in terms of MLB players - they will only be if interest to win-now teams who are unlikely to move top quality pitching. 
    • Should Holliday keep whiffing over the next 15-20 at-bats, Elias et al will certainly win my respect if they send him back down. I'm fine with Mateo and Urias. They both had great spring trainings and are fine defensive players who can man several different positions. Mateo adds speed and it's possible that we've been missing out on another torrid April from him (SSS but his 143 OPS+ with 3 doubles in 19 ABs implies we have been).  I would love it if Urias regains the batting prowess and power he showed in 2021-2022 and the '22 glove.
