    If the definitions are not accepted, the research that hasn't definitively disproved those definitions is pointless, imo. Yes, I will continue to maintain that.

    Rutledge just pulled up lame on the bases. Marco Hernandez may make the big club for Opening Day.

    ESPN is garbage. I prefer to watch with the sound off.

    Let's trade Castillo and Craig and Panda and their salaries straight up for Ben.
  5. a700hitter
    You have said it yourself that the studies do not definitively disprove the existence of clutch... or are you changing your position?
  6. a700hitter
    I said "if". Others have said that the term can't be defined to their satisfaction.
  7. a700hitter
    I think the data in the studies could not prove clutch. It did not definitively disprove clutch.
  8. a700hitter
    Don't lose sight of the fact that the research doesn't disprove anything, and the fact that there is no agreement on the definition also makes the research irrelevant and pointless. None of this makes the concept of clutch a fallacy. It just invalidates all of the studies.
  9. a700hitter
    That conclusion is fallacious. Also, none of the statistical studies definitively disprove even the disputed definitions of clutch.
  10. a700hitter
    But if none of the definitions are accurate, the research (which does not disprove the concept) is not only useless but also irrelevant.
  11. a700hitter
    Maybe we can convince the SF Giants to take the renewed Pablow in a trade, so that Marco Hernandez can have a spot on the big club.
  12. a700hitter
    I am not saying that you are wrong about this, but I can't understand why they would have to add him to the 40 man roster in order to trade him. If that is the case, they should just release him, unless he has to be added to the 40 man roster before he can be released.
  13. a700hitter
    But as has been pointed out numerous times there is no agreement on the definition of clutch/chokes so the statistical are meaningless.
  14. a700hitter
    How can there be a valid statistical study of something that people can't even define?
  15. a700hitter
    Kendrick is earning his way. What is his opt-out provision?
  16. a700hitter
    I can barely stand watching him on the days that he pitches.
  17. a700hitter
    None of it exists, because none of it can be proved statistically. Are we sure that Nicklaus is real?
  18. a700hitter
    Throughout the years we have learned that wet or humid weather can impede the knuckleballer from getting a good grip on the baseball. After he releases the baseball, there are numerous theories on how atmospheric conditions affect the flight and movement of this flutter ball. There have been opinions on pitching in Domes versus outdoors, cold weather vs warm weather, and wind blowing in vs. wind blowing out. It is why I really don't like having to depend on them. They have a million excuses ready to go.
  19. a700hitter
    In an indefinable yet statistically disprovable way.
  20. a700hitter
    And there have been several posts discussing the strong statistical evidence disproving something they don't think can even be defined.
  21. a700hitter
    I am staring at the cliff in 2021!!
  22. a700hitter
    And high humidity.
  23. a700hitter
    Wright with a solid 4 1/3 innings with 0 ER 2 H
  24. a700hitter
    Maybe he was losing to much food in his beard. That could be annoying.
  25. a700hitter
    Is sk old? He went off the topic.
