think that would be a
nice thing.”
Lazarus’s
feelings
aren’t just idle mutter-
ings heard in board-
rooms at the network’s
30 Rockefeller Center
headquarters; he says he’s
taken his concerns direct-
ly to NHL officials, the
NHL Players Association
and directly to the players
themselves.
His complaints have
fallen on deaf ears, or
rather, dulled razors.
“But I’m just a TV
guy,” Lazarus told the
Tribune. “They don’t
want to listen to me. I
know there are some
traditions and supersti-
tions that you can’t mess
with,” Lazarus said. “But
this is one tradition I
could do without.”
For the record, ratings
for Saturday’s Game 2 of
the Cup final between
Chicago and Tampa
Bay were the best for a
Game 2 since NBC got
the NHL nine years ago.
In fairness to Lazarus,
though, the Cup game
did have a lead-in of
American
Pharoah
going for the Triple
Crown in the Belmont.
But the overnight rat-
ings for Monday’s Game
3, which aired on NBC
Sports Network, were
up 16 percent from last
year’s Game 3 between
the New York Rangers
and Los Angeles Kings,
so someone was watch-
ing, even with all those
beards.

scare in injury time,
when Sami Khedira
bounced a header off the
crossbar.
“It’s such a monumen-
tal win for us as a coun-
try and a federation,”
Guzan said. “It’s import-
ant that we build some
momentum going into
the Gold Cup. We know
ultimately this summer
is about us winning the
Gold Cup. That’s our
No. 1 goal.”
The Americans won
the 2013 Gold Cup title
and would earn a berth
in the Confederations
Cup if they win this
year’s tournament. If
another nation wins,
it would meet the U.S.
in a playoff for the
Confederations
Cup
spot.
“We should feel like
as we head into big,
important games in the
Gold Cup that we have
nothing to be afraid of,
and we can step on the
field against any team
and can cause anybody
trouble and can beat
anybody,” Bradley said.

Thanks to a bounce-
back performance in his
redshirt sophomore sea-
son at UH, Torres-Costa
is a pitcher with options
just two years removed
from Tommy John sur-
gery. If he signs with the
Brewers as the 1,051st
overall pick he would
not command anywhere
near the hefty signing
bonus that Medeiros
received as the 12th
pick in the 2014 draft
out of Waiakea. Torres-
Costa also can choose to
return to the Rainbow
Warriors to work on his
Big West scoreless-in-
nings streak and try to
improve his stock in
next year’s draft.
Torres-Costa, who
earned all-Big West
honors after not allow-
ing an earned run in
his final 23 innings
and nailing down eight
saves, wasn’t ready to tip
his hand.
“I feel confident
where I stand,” he said.
“I haven’t made my deci-
sion yet.
“Kodi told me about
the experience of being
in the minors. I’m
just glad to have the
opportunity.”
It’s unclear how
much money he would
receive upfront from
the Brewers. Hilo High
graduate Jodd Carter
went 11 rounds higher
in last year’s draft and
signed for $75,000 with
the Cleveland Indians.
His local pitching
coach, Gerry Meyer,
doesn’t think it’s a tough
decision.
“I’ve already talk-
ed to (Quintin) and I
told him to go (pro),”
said Meyer, who also
coached Medeiros. “He’s
got a lot of potential and
I think he’s kind of being
wasted at Manoa, to be
honest.”
Hawaii
coach
Mike Trapasso told
the
Tribune-Herald
two weeks ago that
Torres-Costa’s next step
in college was to refine a
secondary pitch to com-
plement his fastball.
Meyer said he’s been
working with Torres-
Costa on two additional
pitches – a cutter that
either dives down or to
the inside and a palm
ball that looks like a
changeup – to go along
with a fastball that has
reached the low 90s.
“I owe all the credit
to Coach Meyer,” Torres-
Costa said.
HAWAII HAUL
Two
teammates
Torres-Costa closed for
last season were select-
ed earlier Wednesday as
the 40-round three-day
draft wrapped up. UH
junior right-hander Tyler
Brashears, who sported
a 1.86 ERA in 2015, went
in the 14th round to the
Tampa Bay Rays, while
junior right-hander LJ
Brewster was taken by
the Miami Marlins in the
22nd round.
“They deserve all the
credit for their hard
work and dedication,”
Trapasso said in a UH
release. “… proof that our
program develops pitch-
ers, as none of the three
were drafted out of high
school.”
In all, eight play-
ers from Hawaii were
drafted. On Monday,
Campbell graduate Ian
Kahaloa became the first
player from the state
to hear his name called
when the Reds took the
right-hander with the
145th pick. University of
Kentucky junior outfield-
er Ka‘ai Tom, an ‘Iolani
graduate, went nine picks
later in the fifth round to
the Cleveland Indians. …
Also on Wednesday,
another ‘Iolani grad,
Northern Colorado out-
fielder Jensen Park,
went in the 32nd round
to the Colorado Rockies,
and the Rays took
Nevada outfielder Kewby
Meyer (Kamehameha-
Kapalama) and ‘Iolani
left-hander
Kahiau
Winchester in the 37th
and 40th rounds, respec-
tively.
