ALCS Game 6: Mr. Holland's OPS

Email
PrintTo prop up the tortured pun, Derek Holland's OPS against is .724. His OPS+ as a batter is -100. So if Ron Washington makes a terrible mistake with his lineup, causing Holland somehow to bat, the Rangers could be in trouble. Holland is the junior of the two starters tonight - and the more baby-faced - hailing for Newark, OH. Scherzer is from St. Louis - a fact we'll be hearing repeated ad naseum if the Tigers meet the Cardinals in the World Series. Of course, the Tigers will have to win tonight to make that even a possibility.

there are a lot of possible causes
It might be genetic. It might be due to an injury suffered in utero or afterwards. I would guess he was meant to have brown eyes, but something happened that prevented the melanin-producing cells from getting to his irises and setting up shop like they were supposed to.
Chimerism is a possibility, but probably isn’t the most likely reason. With a chimera, two different individuals end up mixed together during development. The result is “mosaicism” – a mix of genetics in one person.
There was a case where a woman was accused of welfare fraud because DNA tests showed she could not be the mother of her children. This was a shock to her, since she’d given birth to them. Eventually, tests showed that she was a chimera. Her ovaries had different genes than her blood and cheek cells, so when they gave her standard DNA tests, they showed she wasn’t the mother of her kids.
There are also cases where there’s a mix of both male and female cells in one person. This might result in indeterminate gender (“hermaphrodite”) or the cells that became the gonads determine what sex the person is.
One of the earliest known examples of this was a woman with two different blood types. Turns out, she had absorbed her twin brother in utero, and his different blood type mixed with her own.

Yuengling isn't bad
When compared against the likes of Bud and Miller, it shines at its price point. When going against actual microbrews, it can’t hold a candle.
Yuengling doesn't make a bad beer
except for their “main” beer, their Lager, and their Light Beer
Their Premium, Black & Tan and Lord Chesterfield are absolutely delicious.
While I remember their Porter, and remember not immediately hating it, it’s been awhile

some Reds stuff at MLB Trade Rumors
I guess the A’s don’t share Johnu’s view of the Reds pitching coach:
The Athletics were denied permission to interview Reds pitching coach Bryan Price, reports ESPN’s Buster Olney . Price’s contract in Cincinnati expires after next season.
They’re still talking about trading Joey Votto:
Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports says the Reds don’t have to rush into a trade involving Joey Votto. They can wait until free agents Prince Fielder and Albert Pujols sign, which will give them an idea of what an extension for Votto would cost. It would also shed some light on potential trade suitors. GM Walt Jocketty recently shot down all the trade talk, however.
On Dusty’s future:
Dusty Baker signed a two-year extension with the Reds last October. If Cincinnati takes the unlikely step of trading Joey Votto and starting a mini-rebuilding phase, Baker may not want to stick around while the club builds itself back into a contender. A Votto deal is a long shot (at least in the short term), however, so barring a poor season for the Reds in 2012, the team will probably pursue another extension with Baker next winter.
All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?
I'm not going to pretend I know how pitching staffs work.
But the A’s have an incredible bevy of young and impressive hurlers who are doing really well. And Rich Harden. So why would they want to rock that boat at all? The pitching’s fine, its getting a .267 SLG from their first baseman that’s killing them.

who says they want him as their pitching coach?
Maybe they want him as a manager. They fired their manager mid-season, and have an interim manager now.

The part about Baker seems like pure speculation, pulled out of nowhere
I think Dusty will stick around as long as the team wants him. He’s getting up there in years and probably knows that this team is his last shot.
And it's more than a little ridiculous to assume
that a trade of Votto right now would mean a rebuilding period.
