Cole Hamels is on pace for a 210-pitch shutout.

#Phillies Jonathan Papelbon has 15 2-3 innings scoreless streak, longest in NL. 7 for 7 in saves. Holding hitters to .137 avg over that span

Dueling dates in history: #Phillies Mike Schmidt hit 400th career HR on May 15, 1984 off Bob Welch. #Indians Len Barker throws perfect game.

Now I know where @Tom Withers gets his jam de jour - from the Indians game notes. "Ring of Fire," "Home Before Dark," name dropped today.

#Sixers Sam Hinkie: 'By no means is (waiting to use as much as $30 million in cap space in 2014) the favorite out of the barn.' #76ers #NBA

Josh Harris on Apollo buying #Twinkies: "We try to buy good franchises at low prices and we were able to do that with Hostess,"

76ers owner Josh Harris said his Apollo Global Management company bought Twinkies because it's an "Iconic brand."

Getting ready for kwan_low imma knock his Karl malone dressing ass out and whoever else want some lol instagram.com/p/ZTvTdfOGFN/

#Sixers Hinkie: 'It's a hard league. There are no silver bullets, where you do it and it makes it really easy overnight.'

#Sixers GM/prez Sam Hinkie: 'Trading for some superstar is often a function of drafting well in the past.'

got some 2 Chainz at the ballpark as the Indians take BP.

#Sixers Hinkie, 35, says 'I’m unlikely to let that particular niche (the team's needs) drive me.'

#Sixers Hinkie says Holiday, T Young & Turner are 'the kind (of you’d think about and you need to really assess.'

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) _ Officials: America's Cup races will go on despite sailor's death during training run.

Best news out of the press conference. 76ers owner Josh Harris promised Twinkies for the media on draft night.

Hinkie said ideally he would have liked to have a coach on dais with him today, but that he will look for the right coach and no time frame

Another great day at the boxing gym with @Caliboy323 who wanna see me in that ring lol

Hinkie almost seemed to downplay analytics a little bit saying it's basically a way just to get more information and everybody wants more

#Sixers Josh Harris says team won't re-sign #Bynum just to salvage something from trade. 'It's all sunk cost.'

First impressions are that Hinkie seems like a pretty open guy, willing to listen to the masses in the organization. But who are the masses

Adam Aron informed me nothing has changed in his job description.

#Sixers Sam Hinkie on current roster: 'Jrue, Thad and Evan are all quite interesting.'

#Sixers Hinkie plans to begin search at Chi predraft camp, which starts Wed. 'I suspect that will make 4 interesting dinner conversation.'

Hinkie, who will head to Chicago for draft combine, said he'll consider groundwork Sixers have done in coach search but also do his homework

#Sixers Sam Hinkie: 'I like smart risks. I'm not afraid to be aggressive and push my chips to the middle.'

...they will look into all avenues regarding Bynum just to make the most aggressive, educated decision regarding him.

To be fair, to address a couple people tweeting back to me, Hinkie did say Sixers have advanced info on Bynum (for obvious reasons) and...

76ers prez Sam Hinkie says he's "duty bound" to consider all unrestricted free agents, including Andrew Bynum.

#Sixers Hinkie: 'There is cap room we can use this year. I don't often think in that straightforward a fashion.'

Translation: That's his polite way of saying Bynum is not returning.

Hinkie on Bynum's future in Philly: "He is one of those (unrestricted free agents) and I am duty-bound to consider them."

#Sixers Hinkie: 'I don't think there's anything else to be said about (#Bynum) trade. I think of Andrew as 1 of the 1000s of free agents.'

#Sixers Sam Hinkie: 'Superstar players matter in this league.'

Hinkie said it's fair to call the Sixers' trade for Andrew Bynum "a failure."

#Sixers Sam Hinkie: 'The fact that Josh would stand up after a failure (#Bynum trade) and say he'd do it again was very important to me.'

Congratulations go especially to Josh Harris for all his hard work in attracting someone of Sam's caliber to join the Sixers.

Welcome to the Philadelphia 76ers Sam Hinkie, our new President of Basketball Ops and GM. As many have said recently, he's a terrific hire.

#Sixers Sam Hinkie: 'I think it's overrated how analytical coaches have to be.'

#Sixers GM/prez Sam Hinkie: 'The challenge in front of us is not for the faint of heart.'

#Sixers Sam Hinkie: 'Part of my task is to bring the best and brightest to Philadelphia.'

#Sixers Sam Hinkie: 'I hope to be a steward of this team for a long time. I want to build a leading basketball operation.'

In the first three sentences uttered by each, Sam Hinkie and Josh Harris used the terms "analytics" and "objective analysis." Go figure.

Sixers GM Sam Hinkie: "I'm a diligent guy that asks a lot of questions."

#Sixers Sam Hinkie: 'I'm a diligent guy that asks a lot of questions.'

#Sixers Josh Harris: 'We are not done yet in our pursuit of excellence. We will continually strive to improve ourselves.'

"Not talking about going into a back room with computers." -- Sixers owner Josh Harris, on analytics in NBA.

#Sixers Josh Harris: Sixers "have taken a major step forward to longterm success" by hiring Sam Hinkie.

Adam Aron is in the house as 76ers press conference is underway.

I see there's a major 76ers press conference. But where are the fans?

According to script, Sam Hinkie scheduled to speak at 4:22 after Josh Harris. #Sixers

Important @Sixers press conference starts in 5 minutes, being live streamed at Sixers.com -- another major step forward for us.

Apparently no truth to rumors that analytics determined 4:15 is best time for #Sixers news conference.

At PCOM for #Sixers press conference to intro Sam Hinkie as new GM

According to league source, no change on Adam Aron's role with #76ers

At #Sixers press conference to introduce Sam Hinkie as president of basketball operations/GM.

John Nash told me he heard basketball operations taken away from Adam Aron, but will remain involved in business aspect of organization

Safe to assume #Sixers hiring of GM/prez Sam Hinkie likely to reduce Aron's duties on basketball side.

Adam Aron is a 76ers co-owner. Someone would have to buy him out.

#NBA source: '(#Sixers) announcement today has nothing to do with Adam Aron, who is (still) CEO.' #76ers

#NBA source denies report Adam Aron out as #Sixers CEO. #76ers

Breaking: @Christopher A. Vito will photobomb more 76ers' photos when Year 2 on the beat kicks off Tuesday.

Sixers will introduce Sam Hinkie as their general manager in a presser Tuesday at 4:15 pm at PCOM.

Why didn't the Sixers hire Hinkie last year? Instead, a loyal employee is hung out to dry? Leveraged buyout?

Getting tatted this week, gotta decide between the Mike Tyson or the Gucci Mane face tattoo?

#Sixers news conference set for 4:15 Tuesday.

Bring your Homer Hinkies. 76ers schedule 415 newser Tuesday at PCOM.
