    To receive or inflict?
  2. Bellhorn04
    Well, you're right, I am going to say it. It makes no sense to believe in one of those things and not the other.
  3. Bellhorn04
    Jeez mvp, that's only about the millionth time someone has said this. It's not exactly a revelation.
  4. Bellhorn04
    I read your post, but you didn't actually provide a definition. You basically said repeatable skill means clutch doesn't exist.
  5. Bellhorn04
    Kimmi, I asked for a definition of 'repeatable skill'. I don't see one in your reply.
  6. Bellhorn04
    And why do you choose to believe that?
  7. Bellhorn04
    Usage and effectiveness of the bullpen certainly plays a role in a team's W-L record. But a lot of times you win one or two run games when the bullpen does a crappy job. Sometimes the pen turns a 4 run lead into a 1 run win. Or sometimes the pen blows the lead in the top of the 9th and you score a run in the bottom of the 9th to win.
  8. Bellhorn04
    Still doesn't make it useful. Please see my post #179 on the clutch/choke thread where I responded to your definition of a repeatable skill.

    'Repeatable skill' is a term made up by some baseball stat nerds. I really don't have to respect it.

    Says the man who didn't recognize Norm Crosby's signature line.
  11. Bellhorn04
    Things that are repeatable do not necessarily repeat ad infinitum. I'm hating the term 'repeatable skill' more all the time.
  12. Bellhorn04
    And his strikeout to walk ratio is livable for the month of August.
  13. Bellhorn04
    Let me see if I have this straight: -With "clutch", you have to prove it exists. -With lineup comfort, you have to prove it doesn't exist. No, I don't think that's fair, somehow. But maybe you can explain how to go about proving a negative.

    If he had started playing first base after the 2 weeks, sure. But they really had no clue where he was going to play, and so we have JD playing Keystone Cops in the outfield.
  15. Bellhorn04
    But on deadline day, they were 7-3 in their last 10 games: 4-2 against the Jays 3-1 against the Yankees And in first place by 1.5 They were not looking bad at all.
  16. Bellhorn04
    The series with the Rays didn't actually start until after the closing bell July 30 though. It's true they were wobbling some before the deadline, but since then they have been flat out horrible.
  17. Bellhorn04
    I understand that, but it calls into question whether it was a good move by Bloom.
  18. Bellhorn04
    Disagree. When the closing bell rang on July 30 they were 63-41, 1.5 up on the Rays and 8.5 up on the Yanks. In their previous 2 series they had won 3 of 4 against the Yankees and split 4 with the Jays.
  19. Bellhorn04
    Maybe they were babying Schwarb because of health concerns. Which again makes his acquisition look questionable.
  20. Bellhorn04
    And post-deadline results continue to be horrific.
  21. Bellhorn04
    And when they went to Cora about it, he said "No worries, we'll get creative."!
  22. Bellhorn04
    It now seems that when they traded for Schwarb, they really had no f'king idea where he was going to play.
  23. Bellhorn04
    But it's obvious they don't really want to put Schwarb at first, likely because of injury concerns. Which does make Bloom's deadline work look a little suspect.
  24. Bellhorn04
    And earlier in the year we were mocking the Yanks for their all or nothing approach. Maybe the guys were too jacked up after teeing off on the O's staff.
  25. Bellhorn04
    We can talk about defensive configurations all day, but when your offense scores 5 runs in 3 games against the likes of Monty, Gil and Heaney, you suck.
