  1. Of course. But other great or very good hitters have not had good postseason numbers.
  2. And that's where I throw up my hands. Pretty hard to argue against that kind of logic, I guess.
  3. That argument irks me too. To me the fact that David Ortiz was great in the World Series in 2004, and again in 2007, and again in 2013, should be a point in favor of the clutch premise...
  4. Except his WAR is going backwards now LOL
  5. No, Beckett did not become a choke. He had a fine postseason career. In the 2008 postseason he was pretty obviously pitching hurt, but came through with a gutty performance in Game 6 of the ALCS.
  6. ??? This was about the outfield plan. I think you misread something.
  7. What if Houck is a lights-out 5 inning starter? Haven't we agreed that's a valuable commodity?
  8. Of course there's variance from season to season. Like there is with everything in baseball. I don't see how that's an argument. So now you're saying that even if you have a big enough sample to show a 'clutch career', it means zilch.
  9. According to Manfred he was issuing warnings left and right about spin rates and sticky stuff and a crackdown. So I don't think Bloom could have been entirely oblivious of the issue.
  10. What plan was that?
  11. Only one disagreement - Perez was good pre-Stickygate. Like Richards he's lost his grip since then.
  12. In the clutch-choke debate, postseason numbers get rejected because they are not large enough sample sizes. At least with the leverage numbers you get some higher sample sizes.
  13. I didn't know data could be anecdotal. And I didn't draw any conclusions about the significance. You seem to just want to shut down the whole discussion.
  14. COVID-19 rules that were agreed on by owners and players. Don't understand the gripes, myself.
  15. Delino is kicking ass so far.
  16. The comfort level has to come from something.
  17. Personally, I'd call that a very fixable flaw for a young pitcher with good stuff.
  18. Post-deadline is playing out very bad so far.
  19. I suppose it's possible, but it seems like wishful thinking.
  20. Robles and Davis were acquired as immediate help for the stretch run, that's a whole different scenario from Rios & Valdez.
  21. Third time through rants have to be based on third time through stats. Rants lie, stats don't-or a lot less, anyway.
  22. Yeah, it's not even a real stat, is it? It's a number you can derive. At the same time, we do know that some pitchers do better with some catchers.
  23. Field of Nightmares. Too funny.
  24. Have to agree. Robles and Davis do not go down as one of Bloom's finest moments. And now that you mention it, I think Workman was better.
