  1. Fat man still not looking good with the glove, and he had a big k earlier in the game with 2 runners on and no one out.
  2. He was worth the prospect cost and his salary in this market is very cheap. Moncada struck me as an airhead especially when he got picked off first base in September. http://www.masslive.com/redsox/index.ssf/2016/09/yoan_moncada_boston_red_sox_st_1.html
  3. A perfect example of how stats can be misleading. The rest of that staff was a bunch of nobodies.
  4. Neither side can prove or disprove.
  5. Great to start off with a win! Benintendi got on top of and mashed a big time (98 mph) heater. Porcello picked up right where he left off last year.
  6. I am often silly.
  7. I like the lefthanded hitter there to use the first base - second base hole, but of course we know that such an advantage doesn't exist in the random world of baseball.
  8. I believe that it was Farrell who made the BMI remark last year.
  9. I have seen hitters give away ABs without any doubt. Do people remember the night that Manny was called in to PH against Mo on a Sunday night that was supposed to be his night off and took 3 pitches right down the pipe for a 3 pitch strikeout. Over a full season, lots of ABs are given up. If it is getaway day and the game is out of hand, players are not bearing down as hard.
  10. To me, clutch = choking less than your competitors.
  11. But choking does...right?
  12. That's because you have no hair on your head. The hair on the back of your neck is standing out of fear that it is endangered like the former hairs on your head.
  13. No, it couldn't be homerism.
  14. If I had the choice to save money by leaving it off my cable subscription, it already would have been gone from my home for years.
  15. SOunds like a good definition to me.
  16. 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.
  17. Rutledge just pulled up lame on the bases. Marco Hernandez may make the big club for Opening Day.
  18. ESPN is garbage. I prefer to watch with the sound off.
  19. Let's trade Castillo and Craig and Panda and their salaries straight up for Ben.
  20. You have said it yourself that the studies do not definitively disprove the existence of clutch... or are you changing your position?
  21. I said "if". Others have said that the term can't be defined to their satisfaction.
  22. I think the data in the studies could not prove clutch. It did not definitively disprove clutch.
  23. 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.
  24. That conclusion is fallacious. Also, none of the statistical studies definitively disprove even the disputed definitions of clutch.
