Yes. Great post. Timely hitting, or clutch hitting, is bogus. There's no way to really measure it, because you wouldn't know if getting an out or a hit in the given situation would really effect what happened in that inning and maybe even the game. A good example of this was games 2, 4, and 6 of the ALCS. In game 2, the Sox were down 5-0, but certainly had chances, and then it was one hit that tied it. Who knows? Papi strikes out, and maybe whoever was up after him could hit a single knocking in two, and a rally starts. Who knows? In game 4, the Sox were down and also had plenty of chances, but couldn't capitalize. Game 6 was similar to game 2, except for the fact that the Sox weren't down as much. There were also plenty examples from the World Series.
