    Maybe your arguments are often specious.
  2. a700hitter
    Glad that you have a thick skin. And I never said that you in particular were smug.
  3. a700hitter
    And that can be debated.
  4. a700hitter
    Clutch exists and so does choking. IMO the debatable issue is whether those labels are applicable to certain players at certain points in time.
  5. a700hitter
    That's right. He was his Uber Driver.
  6. a700hitter
    Thank you for clarifying.
  7. a700hitter
    That was 1 poster and that doesn't represent the rest of us who think clutch is real,but you are painting everyone else with a broad brush.

    You consider yourself to be a "stat geek." So no one is labeling you in a way that you don't label yourself. "Anti-stat" and "traditionalist" are not accurate for the people who you pin those labels on.

    I just maintained that it was not an attack on character. I never said that it wasn't insulting. Get it straight.
  11. a700hitter
    I never said that "fat slob" is not derogatory. It is derogatory and I meant it to be insulting. I do not think it constitutes an attack on the man's character anymore than calling someone shorty. Get the story straight.
  12. a700hitter
    Which part is false? The second part is true. You label people.
  13. a700hitter
    Not really. Players at different times in their careers can handle pressure differently.
  14. a700hitter
    Stathead is not derogatory. if you prefer "geek", we can go with that. I would have thought that calling someone a geek might be derogatory.
  15. a700hitter
    And you didn't answer his question. He asked his first.
  16. a700hitter
    I think "stat geek" is a label they bestow upon themselves and they like to give derogatory labels to everyone with whom they disagree.
  17. a700hitter
    Stat deniers. How absurd.
  18. a700hitter
    You had it the whole way. You felt it. I know what you mean.
  19. a700hitter
    It could be a redundant label. A great player can be clutch, but a lesser player can be clutch too. And both types of players can choke too.
  20. a700hitter
    Has anyone claimed that it was a small group? But I would disagree that half the league doesn't get affected by pressure in big spots. Major leaguers are not robots.
  21. a700hitter
    Specious argument if you are trying to bolster you argument on clutch.
  22. a700hitter
    I am not calling you a name. You are acting paranoid, where if people don't agree with you, you have to label them as something. In this case, it is "anti-stat."
  23. a700hitter
    Oh, okay.
  24. a700hitter
    You are being paranoid. Baseball fans are obsessed with statistics.
  25. a700hitter
    Correct, but players who don't choke or choke less than everyone else are clutch.
