if he keeps hitting Panda merchandise will be $$$....
-
BTW - while i was watching the game and Mookie cleared the bases with the double top 10 - i turned to my son and said "clutch hit". he corrected me and said that the stats based on weather pattern, pitcher, count in the AB, particular runners on the bases, defensive alignment meant that he was going to get a hit. it had nothing to do with "clutch". i felt dumb and lost all excitement over the bases clearing hit. oh well.
-
In all fairness...i dont think anyone on here complained about the Sale trade. in fact, most of us were ecstatic as this was a no brainer trade to do.
-
i love me some Panda. that is all.....
-
postseason. those are my claims. i think? I have been pretty consistent with that.....

btw - yes, wright settled down nicely after the shaky first.
-
kimbrell time. 3 days in a row. should be interesting top of the 9th. hope we can score 1 or 7 more right now...
-
eff me. and i havent noticed it in the 200+ home games since then. or is it only on patriots day that they do it?
-
btw - i think wright needs to be removed from rotation and used in pinchrunning situations only.
-
wtf..when did this start?
-
i will 100% state that certain players will raise their game during bright lights moments. does "raising their game" always equate to a walkoff HR? no. but they have a unique ability to feed off the big moment, increase their focus, enter the zone, clear the mechanism.....

i'm getting paid to do a job and here i am spending that time typing in this thread.....

Hey Kimmi. i think you are being rhetorical here but i will try and answer as to my thoughts. i never said players dont focus in late innings only. i would guess that this early in the season the hitters are still shaking off some rust and the 3rd or 4th time up in a game they are feeling more comfortable. we also arent facing the starter in the 8th or 9th.....
-
i absolutely said the first part of this sentence. i never used the words "led to victory" (bolded in your quote above). i stated the FACT that the Mets hitters (especially Asdrubal Cabrera) had an increased Focus effect from the headhunting pitch. if you dont believe that's true you have absolutely never stepped on a field for a competitive event.
-
are you arguing with me about focus? or clutch? or results of focus? again, i was using the Mets game as an example that players do not treat every single pitch of their ~550 AB's per year the exact same way. believe it or not....some of those pitches/AB's they are actually amped up. and sometimes when a batter is more focused or more amped up - he will make better contact. and sometimes when a batter makes better contact it results in a hit.
-
This was a great win by our team. had to have it? no. needed it? yes.
-
Perfect Timing! Please send me some right away! I need some for all the lawsuits that I am constantly in. Plus i have to fund the 17 wars i'm about to get involved in. oh, and I will no longer be receiving any tax money from anyone making more than $200,000 and the poor shlubs only have very little money. but we will get all we can from them to help build the Wall! thanks, Donald J. Trump President -
Pretty much my entire point about clutch hitters is that they come through when the lights are brightest. how many regular season low leverage and "high" leverage situations is a batter facing a #4 or 5 starter? a middle reliever that wouldnt even make a postseason roster? a terrible team that never sniffs the playoffs? a AAA starter in a spot start or for the month of September expanded roster? a lot of chances to pad your leverage stats. the postseason you dont get to face chumps. it's the best of the best. so if your numbers in the postseason are similar or better than your regular season numbers or you have 2 October nights in a row vs your most hated nemesis and walk them off...you are clutch. IMO.
