**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but……..

13) Why a lot of this analytics stuff drives me crazy; if you read this site at all, you know I love numbers, but there are also intangibles and a human element to sports that make it impossible to quantify a ballplayer with one number, even if you’re an Ivy League graduate.

I’ll give you an example of something that actually happened last year.

Player A gets paid to wear a certain style of baseball shoe, but he doesn’t always wear them. Player B goes out of his way to tell the shoe representative about this, which aggravates both the shoe guy and Player A. Player A and Player B get into an actual fight; Player B goes on the DL, which hurts the team. Lets see someone factor that into a player’s WAR.

So quantify the value of Player A and Player B; go ahead, put a number on it. Player B is a cruddy teammate, Player A is a weasel who takes money for something he doesn’t do. No matter what kind of a brilliant education you got, whether it be a junior college, state college, a fancy college or freakin’ high school, you cannot accurately define a ballplayer’s value to a team with one number.

Teammates live/travel together most every day from late February til the end of September; too many intangibles involved.

12) Speaking of cruddy teammates, Miguel Montero got traded to the Blue Jays Monday, after he ripped Jake Arrieta publicly for not holding runners close enough to first base, allowing seven stolen bases in one game (that Montero was catching).

11) Kevin Durant took $53M from Golden State for two years when his max was $34.5M a year; wonder what the Players’ Association will say about that?

10) National League has only six starting pitchers, six relievers on the All-Star team. AL has nine starters, three relievers. Six starting pitchers seems like not enough.

9) I’m watching BYU’s Eric Mika play in the Orlando Summer League for the Miami Heat and I’m thinking if he had stayed at BYU then the Cougars probably would’ve been an NCAA tourney team next March. Without him? Not so much.

8) Cuban-born Angel Hernandez has sued major league baseball because he has been passed over several times for a chance to work the World Series despite high marks on evaluations. His suit also charges that even though Hernandez was made a temporary crew chief, it has never been made permanent.

I’m not a fan of Angel Hernandez as an umpire; I’m an A’s fan and I know Oakland skipper Bob Melvin can’t stand him, and Melvin is a pretty even-keel guy.

When instant replay first started a few years ago, Adam Rosales hit a 9th inning home run in Cleveland that would’ve tied the game; it was erroneously called a double. Watching the replay, Stevie Wonder would’ve changed the call on the field to a home run, but Angel Hernandez, on his temporary crew chief assignment, refused to change the call.

Hope he loses his lawsuit, just like the A’s lost in Cleveland that day,

7) Nationals 3, Mets 2— Washington has blown eight leads of 2+ runs in 8th inning or later; if they had a decent bullpen, they’d already be booking hotels for the playoffs. Nationals will still make the playoffs, probably, but they need to reinforce their bullpen this month.

6) Speaking of Washington, how is this for scheduling? Nationals played the 8:00 game Sunday night in St Louis; they played at 6:00 game at home Monday night, then have an 11am game at home Tuesday morning. I can understand why players would be ornery about that.

5) Houston Astros signed 26 international free agents Monday, including 12 players from Venezuela, 10 from the Dominican Republic. These players will not appear in actual games until next year; they’ll report to the Astros’ complex in the Dominican Republic this summer.

4) NBA doings:
— Darren Collison gets $20M for two years from the Pacers.
— Memphis signed Ben McLemore for two years, $11M.

3) Mookie Betts will start in CF for the AL All-Star team in place of the injured Mike Trout.

2) RIP to my cousin Joan, who passed away Sunday night after a lengthy illness. She was the nicest lady, and will be missed.

1) Happy Birthday America. Our country turns 241 years old today; its been a weird year in this country. Hopefully year #242 will be a much better one.
