Armadillo:Wednesday's six-pack

Odds to win this year’s World Series

— Cubs +300– Were +280 back on June 28

— Rangers +450– Got rid of Josh Hamilton yesterday.

— Nationals +550– Daniel Murphy, back in the playoffs.

— Giants +600– Been playing poorly since All-Star break.

— Indians +650– Terry Francona is an underrated manager.

— Dodgers +800– Use their 14th starting pitcher of year today.

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Blowing off steam on a summer day

13) If you know me, you know I love numbers; I understand (most of) them and love to utilize them, but the current analytics craze has gotten goofy. There is, was and always will be a human element to sports (and life in general) that cannot be quantified by any single metric, no matter what fancy college you went to.

12) Case in point: my Oakland A’s are having a horrible year; they had a fight in the locker room last week. Player A is getting paid to wear a certain brand of spikes but wasn’t doing it and apparently the sales rep for that company was calling him on it. Player A denied it.

Player B sticks his nose into the discussion and throws Player A under the bus in front of the sales rep; when the rep left, words were exchanged, punches were thrown and Player A knocked Player B onto the DL with a concussion. Not good, especially when it becomes public.

11) So when the metrics people use WAR (the popular one-stop rating for all players), how does this incident change the ratings (if at all) for these two players? Player A put a teammate on the DL- that’s not good. Player B is a jerk who might’ve cost his teammate $20,000 by opening his yap when it wasn’t called for- that’s worse.

I’m guessing WAR doesn’t cover stuff like this (intangibles) which is why I pay so little attention to it. There is more to life than numbers, especially when you travel with the same group of people seven months at a time.

It is impossible to quantify what it means to be a good teammate, or a bad one. What if Player B had supported player A to the shoe rep?

10) Numerical guru (that is a compliment) Christopher Kamka came up with this gem last night: Kris Bryant is hitting .439 this year, with 28 runs scored and 34 RBI in Jake Arrieta’s 24 starts.

9) Bad news for the Orioles, who are 20-6 in Chris Tillman starts this year; Tillman goes on the DL with a sore shoulder. Not good.

8) Arizona Diamondback TV guys were killing Matt Kemp Monday night, talking for a decent while about how the Braves’ GM said that Kemp needed to be in better physical shape. So of course Kemp beats Arizona last night with a bases-loaded triple. Been that kind of a year in Phoenix.

7) Ryan Howard/Jayson Werth both have 38 HRs in interleague games, the active leaders in that category.

6) Joey Votto/Jose Altuve are both hitting over .400 since the All-Star break; last player to do that was Ichiro Suzuki, in 2004.

5) Rich Hill is finally making his Dodger debut today, 23 days after the A’s traded him to LA (he had blister problems). Hill becomes the Dodgers’ 14th starting pitcher this year, an awful lot for a contender.

4) Tim Tebow invited all 30 major league teams to his baseball tryout on August 30 in LA; hard to believe someone won’t take a shot and sign him, even if it is a publicity stunt. Some teams could use the publicity.

3) 7-footer CJ Gettys transfers from NC-Wilmington to Rutgers, where he can play against more guys his size. Gettys scored 5.4 ppg with 5.1 rebounds/game LY, but UNCW is a pressing team now, which doesn’t help Gettys. Odd thing is that the Seahawks are a better team than Rutgers, which only sees the NCAAs if they watch TV. UNCW gave Duke a pretty good game in the first round of the NCAAs last March.

2) RIP to the fine actor Steven Hill, 94, who passed away this week. Hill was most famous for his role as DA Adam Schiff on Law and Order; he was also in movies like The Firm and White Palace. RIP, sir.

1- If third-party Presidential candidate Gary Johnson changed his last name to “Noneoftheabove”, he might win the election, because if I see “none of the above” on my ballot in November, I’m voting for it, and I don’t think I’m the only person with that opinion.
