    I do what I can.

    You're welcome, Raffy. If you need anything more, let me know.
  3. jad
    A .150 hitter like Casas should not amble to first on a ground out.

    I can't believe I didn't recommend that Rafy sit a week or two ago.
  5. jad
    I take full credit for Rafy's hit.
  6. jad
    What is wrong with Devers? Maybe he needs to sit ... (I say this largely because every time I suggest something like this, the guy goes off.)
  7. jad
    Yes!

    Good. Then define 'clutch' as 'performing normally in situations defined as clutch.' Again, show me the stats. If that's all clutch means: not 'choking' in key situations, ok, fine. But again, what are the stats to prove this? I assume Manny and Papi would do that. But we're not talking about the eye-test or memories of the heroics of Uncle George. Shouldn't those stats be obvious and easily obtainable? Surely more than dWAR or CERA or launch angle or all the other incomprehensible things that get talked about here as if they weren't in the least bit problematic.

    Wait. Uncle George swears it was a 98mph slider on the outside corner!
  10. jad
    It doesn't matter who you BELIEVE is clutch or not. I just want to see the simple statistic. Did Brady, Papi, Schilling perform better in clutch situations than they did in other situations? Show me the math.
  11. jad
    Clutch, if it exists, is absurdly easy to document. And anyone with minimal statistical skills can do it, and end this debate. 1) Define a clutch situation (doesn't need to be all that precise). 2) Are there players over a long span (50 games? a year?) who do better than others in these situations? (of course) 3) Do those players do as well (or better) in those situations than they do in other situations? 4) Are these results the same for other 50-game or season-long spans? (That's the important part.) Make a nice, detailed chart of teh results and post them here. (You know, there are people who actually do such things.) Then we have a basis for discussion, rather than referring to our Uncle George who once hit a rocket to left-center in his high-school semi-finals for teh league championship on an 0-2 count.

    In other words, he knows how to screw his employees. I'll bet that goes over really well in the clubhouse.
  13. jad
    Ha! I assure you, that in all his endeavors (violence not being one of them), that dog is undefeated.
  14. jad
    and the reason I'm not a HOF baseball player is because I just didn't want it enough.
  15. jad
    But then, don't forget, it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's ... Hmm. Actually the big dog almost always wins.
  16. jad
    Whoever came up with that truism was completely wrong.
  17. jad
    Why aren't fans packing the stadiums to see the 2023 dWAR race? They obviously know nothing about baseball. I've always liked Wong for some reason. Maybe because his pitchers have less chance of being busted for having sticky stuff on their hands.
  18. jad
    It would help to have a 2b who can make a routine tag.
  19. jad
    Terrible ABs by Duran and Casas (Casas seems like that Little Leaguer always going up there for a walk).
  20. jad
    Oh God Youk STFU!!!!
  21. jad
    devers did not 'take less to stay home.' He took guaranteed money THIS year rather than speculate about what he might have made next year.
  22. jad
    So you would pass up $300million guaranteed in hopes of getting 10% more? knowing that one blown out knee would mean you get nothing?
  23. jad
    But at least Bergeron didn't get a penalty shot in the overtime, wind up just inside the blue line, and hit a pop-up.
  24. jad
    Wow. You hit better when your timing isn't off??? Thank you, Youk. Who would have guessed?
  25. jad
    Ha! The last RS game I went to was the day game of a D/N double=header. I assured my friend that if they couldn't play the afternoon game, no worries, they would cancel it. Instead, they cancelled the night game. I sat there in full foul-weather gear for between 5 and 6 hours before the start. The only consolation was that everyone else was more miserable than I was.
