    I find it hard to believe we can't call Ortiz or Schilling clutch players. That's what seems a little ridiculous about this.
  2. Bellhorn04
    Sounds like porn.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Okay, choking and non-choking, then.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I love the quote I came across in one of the columns about this. Apparently it comes from the great Donald Rumsfeld. "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."
  5. Bellhorn04
    Not this one, it'll never be closed.
  6. Bellhorn04
    But choking does. We've agreed on that much, haven't we?
  7. Bellhorn04
    You're right in the sense that there are a pile of variables in the data, and the 'strength of opposition' has to be factored in. Analyzing this much data is a massive undertaking, that's for sure.

    I think your giant red beard may be altering your personality.

    I will never slobber over Pom. But if he turns out to be good, I may call him Pom the Bomb.

    In 2021 the luxury tax threshold will be 210 million. You'd think you'd be able to put together a competitive team with that.

    I think Leon will be quite adequate. We're lucky to have a pool of 3 catchers like this. Give Swihart a little time, he will be the man eventually. They'll trade Vazquez or Leon at some point.

    The statistical clutch researchers haven't quite figured out how to define clutch or how to find it, that's all. They will. They have been making strides in other areas. They don't quit, those guys. I have confidence in them.

    Pommy got his 4 innings in.
  14. Bellhorn04
    Yes, he was...I guess Kate Hudson was really good for him. I think the concept of 'preponderance of data' applies with clutch as with any other measurement...

    Players and coaches certainly don't like to talk about choking because it's a very delicate subject. But I did give the example earlier of Joe Torre talking about Clemens getting bombed in Game 3 of the 1999 ALCS and saying he thought 'the moment was too big' for Roger or words to that effect. An anecdotal suggestion of a player choking.

    My definition of a clutch player would be a player whose performance in high-leverage situations is equal to or better than their overall performance. I think it's the 'high-leverage situations' part that needs better clarification. High-leverage situations within games have been defined, but I think it would be more meaningful if there was also an additional weighting factor based on the leverage of the game itself.
  17. Bellhorn04
    Why? Because you can never have enough pitching, of course.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Very positive developments with Wright.
  19. Bellhorn04
    As much as I liked Buch, he was a huge disappointment last year, blowing his last chance with us, really. And for the second time in 4 years he forced the team to make a deadline trade to get another starter.
  20. Bellhorn04
    Excellent, excellent.
  21. Bellhorn04
    Sounds like a good description to me.
  22. Bellhorn04
    Does mvp have the Craig Kimbrel look?
  23. Bellhorn04
    Even if you're clutch, you're human, and baseball is hard.
  24. Bellhorn04
    Sure it is. But we already have a number of specific injury concerns.
  25. Bellhorn04
    Pitcher health is a big concern now, that's for sure.
