Visual representation of my argument:
Simple oversight or would TBS (and the rest of the media) rather not describe the lovable and fun Rays as a "sabermetric" team? Quantitative analysis seems like a four letter word to most people in the media.

I think we all knew these two were
on a collision course. If you are a fan
of great baseball this was these were the teams you wanted here. First to four goes to the World Series. Preface: all stats are either wOBA or tRA provided ...

Fiddle me this, fiddle me that, thank you
Rays for this appearance of Monsieur J. Fiddle Cat.
I hope this day never ends.

Four walks, four strikeouts, zero homeruns, more groundballs than fly balls, and 14 swinging strikes. Unfortunately the hits he did give up were usually to the warning track. Here are his graphs:
P Brady has engineering homework to do so consider this your recap thread.

Wow, talk about a tale with two sides. Scott Kazmir was beyond miserable in the first inning and it began with the second pitch of the game, a slider that broke way too much and nailed Orlando Cabrera in the lower leg. Despite what Harold Reynolds spewed there's almost no chance it was ...

The first inning was disastrous. But as many times as I've said this is a turning point for Scott Kazmir, this game was a turning point for Scott Kazmir. He only went 5.2 innings, but it looks like after the 2nd, he finally learned you can't pump fastballs 80% of the ...

It was only right that James Shields got the first playoff start in Rays history. The man who has became as synonymous with this franchise as Mrs. Butterworth failed to disappoint. Shields walked one, allowed six hits, and struck four out in 6.3 innings of three run ball (all on a Dewayne Wise ...

Grant Balfour likes to get pumped on the mound. The stereotypical flamethrower Balfour always speaks of his ability to feed off the crowd noise and atmosphere. Never before had we seen something quite like what Orlando Cabrera did though.
Balfour entered the game to face Juan Uribe with the ...

First things first:
Longoria = Amazing
Now, Shields may not have had the prettiest statline for the playoffs, but he had a typical effective James Shields start. Gave up the big home run early, but his changeup was dominant with two strikes as always. He gave ...

No, this story is not the story of
Virginia Slims and their clever marketing campaign from the
60's and 70's trying to capitalize on the feminist movement. No, this isn't the story of the Fatboy Slim album containing their first Number One single ...
Maddon also revealed Thursday's starting lineup, which will be, in batting order: Akinori Iwamura, B.J. Upton, Carlos Pena, Evan Longoria, Cliff Floyd, Carl Crawford, Dioner Navarro, Gabe Gross and Jason Bartlett. As of Wednesday afternoon, the only tweaking that may occur would be ...
