Being on ABC definitely helps. I think this is the 2nd year they've had it on network TV as well

In related news, I just found out that the new AA affiliate of the Angels is called the Rocket City Trash Pandas -
At least they both had mild cases

Tua should go to the Dolphins. He is the reason why they tanked this year. Granted, it was before the injury, but still

Not so much a problem nowadays, at least for my generation, with social media. I check Instagram and Twitter (before I deleted it) multiple times during games

Has he watched the Netflix special about chewing giant wads?

*Typically* Someone with as much of a statistical background as you should know never to generalize or extrapolate data

So is every clutch moment an anomaly?
-
I never said I was a clutch player. My success rate is way too low to be considered such. But people that are more reliable at delivering, I would consider clutch players. If you come through in the clutch more than 50% of the time (just an arbitrary number), you are more clutch than somebody that comes through 20% of the time, just like how a .500 hitter in baseball is a MUCH better hitter than a .200 hitter. It's all relative IMO
-
I'm sure you witnessed or partook in various "clutch moments" when you were playing sports. How exactly to the stats disprove that?
-
It works a little more often than you think, and just enough to encourage coaches to keep doing it, but it is usually not a big factor
-
I agree with most of that, up until the part about clutch players. While nobody is inherently clutch, and nobody is able to produce 100% of the time, there are definitely moments that I've experienced where you can raise your game. I'm talking about those out of body experiences. I've hit a buzzer-beater in basketball. I've made a birdie putt on the 18th hole to shoot my best round ever and beat my uncle by 1 shot for the first time ever. I've had walk-off hits in baseball. It's at that time when all thought gets taken out of the equation, and it's all feel and instinct. You don't produce every single time in that situation, but your mind is on a different level for sure
-
That's not the argument I was implying at all. I was asking you that because I was curious to see how you came to your opinions
-
But when you don't produce in baseball, you can get helped out by a teammate. Tie game, 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. All you need is a ball in the air. You strike out, but the guy who hits after you singles to right.
-
Did you ever play sports growing up?
-
I don't care what you say about clutch and being clutch, but Tiger Woods in his prime epitomized the meaning of clutch. I would argue that there is more of a clutch element in golf, since it's 1-on-1 in front of large droves of spectators, more so than baseball

I already threw out the Mookie poster I had in my dorm room, and I don't want to also throw out my Mookie t-shirt. I'm a little biased. I'll admit it

Plays right into us re-signing Mookie, which is what I've been expecting all along

A large chunk of male country music artists played D1 football. Don't have time to list them right now, but I will

This game, and this entire series, convinced me that we were winning it all that year:

Figured. God's decade long rampage on the Yankees lives on!

It would take too long

Wow, so in the game he goes right at hitters. Imagine that
