OTTOTD: 10/7 - Welcome to the postseason edition

Though I missed it last night, apparently Twins/Tigers was a classic game.   Second year in a row that the Twins had to play a tiebreaker game.  The ALE may be the best division in baseball, but the AL Central looks to be the most competitive.

Toyota revealed their FT-86 pre-production concept yesterday, a car many are calling a "Toybaru" because of the car being a result from a design and manufacturing partnership between Toyota and Subaru for a RWD 2-door sports coupe.  The reported specifications are that it will run on a NA version of the Subaru boxer-4 similar to what's running the current Impreza and will have a price point of 'less then 25k'.  It looks sexy enough, but for that kind of money, I can get myself a V6 camaro, V6 Mustang, turbo-I4 Genesis coupe, a Mazdaspeed 3, or a WRX, all of which will put out more power and more then likely handle better then this thing.  Color me unimpressed.

Rush Limbaugh has thrown his hat into the ring to buy the St. Louis Rams.  That's a hell of a lot of work just to get an Oxy fix, isn't it?

The machismo 'fight me like a man' bullshit is something I don't understand.

If I shoot someone with a gun, I seriously doubt he’s going to be telling all of his friends how I pussied out of a fight because I shot him dead. I seriously doubt his friends will talk about how much of a pussy I am because their friend challenged me to a fight and got shot dead. I’m sure as shit that his friends aren’t also going to challenge me to a fight, for fear that I will shoot them dead. It’s a pretty defenceable position.

Well I used to carry a knife.

The handle was a piece of crap though and wore out, so I tossed it. I’m looking for a gun to buy; I don’t actually own one yet. I’m left-handed so I was holding out to find one that ejects rounds to the left but they’re way too damn expensive so I’m probably going to settle for one that has amidexterous saftey and mag releases. I intend on going to the gun show in a couple of weeks to find myself a surplus CZ-82.

Damn. Dave stole my Monday post, sort of.
Despite these imperfections, WAR still performs extremely well. One standard deviation of the difference between WAR and actual record is 6.4 wins, and every single team is within two standard deviations. Only four teams were more than 10 wins away from their projected total by WAR, with Tampa Bay ending up the furthest away from our expectation (96.6 projected wins, 84 actual wins), and 18 of the 30 teams were within six wins of their projected WAR total.

Are Rays fans getting too excited about Jeremy Hellickson? Does he have front of the rotation potential?

Jim Callis (2:23 PM)

Hellickson is pretty good. I’m conservative, so I won’t call him a frontline starter, but I think he can be a good No. 3, maybe even a No. 2 if it all goes right.

Probably not

Unless Joyce has a 1B glove. Post-Pena 1B is the position that really worries me most.

Also
Tripp (Tampa)

Zobrist or Utley?

Jim Callis (2:37 PM)

Utley. Zobrist had a great year, but Utley has been having great years for a while.
SteveFitz (Cicero, IL)

All things considered, more likely to be traded, Crawford or BJ Upton in the offseason?

Jim Callis (2:38 PM)

Upton. Has more upside remaining and wouldn’t cost as much in trade, and I think the Rays are starting to get a little tired of his act.

I had to LOL at someone actually asking who is better between Zo and Utley.

It's remarkable how well that pamphlet holds up
Winning a seven-game major-league baseball series is much more a matter of luck than inherent ability.

There is a definite relation between runs scored and runs allowed over a stretch of games and games won during that stretch.

Young pitchers’ arms are easily damaged by extended outings.

Virtually all tactical ploys—the sacrifice bunt, the stolen base, the hit-and-run—operate on average to reduce run scoring.

From Double-A on up, minor-league stats mean just as much as major-league stats.

Trade all players by age 29.

No free agents!

The Gaines Adams thread.

He’s not neccessarily wrong in that there’s no guarantee Josh Johnson will be a good NFL quarterback, but his analysis of the game sucks and he reeks of Raymondo.
