    Can I refer to David Ortiz and Curt Schilling not as clutch but as 'postseason heroes' then?
  2. Bellhorn04
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you express concern in a number of posts about Sale being a clubhouse diva and that sort of thing?
  3. Bellhorn04
    That was S5Dewey. You have to take it up with him.
  4. Bellhorn04
    Well said Dojji.
  5. Bellhorn04
    I don't believe those who don't are operating with an agenda. I just like arguing with them.
  6. Bellhorn04
    Changes are coming. It's not us they're worried about losing, it's the younger generation raised on internet and smartphones.
  7. Bellhorn04
    You could be right. They're obviously very concerned they're losing their audience.
  8. Bellhorn04
    The bullpen is definitely a potential problem. Third base is pure X factor.
  9. Bellhorn04
    I think several of us 'clutch' believers have acknowledged that it simply can't be proven one way or the other. The SSS of postseason numbers and the randomness of baseball make it a complete exercise in futility. Why can't we just leave it at that.
  10. Bellhorn04
    Pretty radical idea for baseball.

    Speaking again of Price, the Blue Jays tried some controversial and perhaps downright weird things with him for the 2015 postseason. Because they skipped his last start, he was off between September 26 and October 8. Because they used him in relief on October 12, his second postseason start didn't come until October 17. So he only started once between September 26 and October 17.
  12. Bellhorn04
    Speaking of Price, I just read that he joked on Twitter that he's the guy who stole Brady's jersey and he's going to sleep with it every night so Brady's greatness rubs off on him. Full marks for sense of humor.
  13. Bellhorn04
    That would be a more satisfactory explanation for David Price's postseason issues than RASSS. (Randomness and Small Sample Size)
  14. Bellhorn04
    Personally I don't like the choke term much. I'm just pointing out an example of how the mind can malfunction even when you're a proven major leaguer.
  15. Bellhorn04
    The pitching was great in September though, and Leon should get some credit for that alone.
  16. Bellhorn04
    Which would suggest that it's really 'non-clutch' that can be identified - the player who should deliver in those spots but doesn't.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Not exactly. One bad game and one good game.
  18. Bellhorn04
    This whole 'repeatability' issue with clutch thing gets overplayed a bit, in my opinion. Hitting home runs is a 'repeatable skill', but even the best can only do it once every 15 times up or something like that.
  19. Bellhorn04
    The repeatability of clutch is certainly a big question. Schilling seems to be one of the few you could argue was consistently clutch. Even if you're better than average in the clutch you're not Superman. Beckett was clearly better than average.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Beckett still gets the clutch tag for me. He carried 2 teams to 2 championships. (It's possible that doing this might have made him too cocky, if anything, thinking that he'd didn't have to work as hard any more. I freely admit this to being only personal speculation.)
  21. Bellhorn04
    Swihart is simply an unknown quantity. This is his year to show us what he has.
  22. Bellhorn04
    There is no counter to Schilling's postseason gamelogs except the old favorites, SSS and randomness. In 19 starts he had 3 bad ones. One of those with a severed tendon in his ankle. In the other 16 he gave up: 0 runs - 4 1 run - 8 2 runs - 4
  23. Bellhorn04
    Where's the counter for Schilling's postseason numbers?
  24. Bellhorn04
    Does anyone remember Ramiro Mendoza's final appearance for the Red Sox? It was in the 19-8 game in the 2004 ALCS. He wasn't in the game long. He had a balk and a hit batter and he looked like the classic deer in the headlights out there. I remember Joe Buck commenting on how rattled he looked. Tito did not use him after that. I could be mistaken about this, but I don't think he was injured. The strange footnote is that Mendoza ended up the losing pitcher in that game although he was only charged with 1 of the 19 runs.
  25. Bellhorn04
    moon, you just had to put up that screen-chewing, eyeball-overwhelming monstrosity again, didn't you LOL
