    Because you are not clear. That is why. That is on you. As far as your accusation about misrepresentation, I directly quote you, so you are misrepresenting yourself.
  2. a700hitter
    But it doesn't matter to you anyway.
  3. a700hitter
    lol!
  4. a700hitter
    Bobby Doerr might have an argument. Some of our posters did see him play.
  5. a700hitter
    It's like pornography. You know it when you see it and the players and coaches can see it.
  6. a700hitter
    Not in his world, unless you accuse him of saying that Theo was "close to great", then it means the opposite.
  7. a700hitter
    And yes, it is your fault. If you cannot clearly communicate your thoughts to an intelligent person who knows the subject matter, that is on you.
  8. a700hitter
    At least, I make an effort to understand your pile of gibberish. LOL!!
  9. a700hitter
    And you are good at being unclear if someone can be good at that.
  10. a700hitter
    For someone who says that he could care less about what I think, you have an awful lot to say to me.
  11. a700hitter
    Your statements about the topic since you have been on this site have been consistent in that you deny its existence. The rest of your explanations frankly are gobbledegook.
  12. a700hitter
    You caveat your opinions in so many ways that it is hard to know what you are saying sometimes, but with regard to clutch, your predominant opinion, as evidenced in one of your more succinct posts that I quoted, seems to be that it doesn't exist.

    Cold weather could be a factor, but didn't he choke indoors in Tampa and Toronto?
  14. a700hitter
    He is a bust.
  15. a700hitter
    As the sample size increases, the player gets more accustomed to those situations and develops better coping mechanisms for the stress. As Price gets to the post season, it would be very possible that he will make some adjustments. But up to now, he has choked.
  16. a700hitter
    At other times, you have flat out said that it doesn't exist, so I can't take seriously any of your caveats and conditional statements.
  17. a700hitter
    Saying that "clutch" or "choke" is difficult or impossible to definitively prove is one thing, but concluding that it doesn't exist (which the statheads including you have said is smug and not definitively supportable.
  18. a700hitter
    There is a smugness on the part of the statheads who think that stats can prove or disprove whether the mental aspect of the game can negatively or positively impact on performance. Only the competitors can know the look of defeat in an opponent's eyes or demeanor or the look of indomitable spirit.
  19. a700hitter
    It is the time of year to be optimistic.
  20. a700hitter
    It has nothing to do with a "nicer story". It has to do with the mental aspect of the game. Some players are tougher mentally than others, and that doesn't always correlate to talent levels.

    By definition Yankee fans are idiots, no exceptions. Say what you will about the Boss, and I loved to hate him, but he just didn't tolerate losing. The sons don't have the same fire burning inside, and as a Red Sox fan, I am very happy about it. The Yankee fans that I know who saw Mantle and Maris in their primes don't think a heck of a lot about any of this young core except Sanchez. They might have a couple of good major league players in the pipeline, but they could just as likely be a bunch of nobody's. One acquisition will not cure what ails the Yankees. The last Yankee Dynasty had a few great payers come out of their system, but they acquired a load of stars to go along with them. The Sons have passed on many ace free agents over the last few years. That is not the way to get back on top.
  22. a700hitter
    lol!
  23. a700hitter
    I think we just differing on semantics. I agree that clutch is the opposite of choking. Guys definitely choke. Choking happens at the big league level. Choking is a well known part of Golf. In Golf everyone chokes. The guy who chokes the least and last wins. It was also acknowledged that Jack Nicklaus never choked. He was clutch.
  24. a700hitter
    You don't know who I talk to.
  25. a700hitter
    Most Yankee fans that I know wish that the Boss would resurrect and correct the course of this team. Th sons are all about profit above winning. The boss hated to lose.
