The pressure must have been enormous. He deserved it.
-
That was some season by Rice! Amazingly, he had 15 triples in '77 and '78!
-
Now, 16 Ks out of 21 outs. No record, tonight.
-
Mets pitchers have 12 Ks out of the first 15 outs made by the Nats.

The Mets' pitchers have K'd 12 of the first 15 outs by the Nats. Is a record in the making?

Add some mayo to that Cole Slaw.

MLB.com reports... RHP Garrett Whitlock talks rehab from hip surgery For the first time since undergoing surgery on his right hip on Sept. 26, Whitlock was back in Boston's clubhouse. He spoke to reporters and plotted out his course of recovery, which he expects will have him back in time for Spring Training. Whitlock pitched in 31 games this season, including nine starts, going 4-2 with a 3.45 ERA. His last appearance of the season was on Sept. 16, before a joint decision was made for him to undergo an arthroscopic procedure performed by Dr. Bryan Kelly in New York. "I’m no doctor or physical therapist, but from the knowledge I’ve gathered, it’s three months of rehab and then I’m good to start building up and going from there, throwing-wise," said Whitlock. "When I first came off the IL [in July], it was definitely better than when I went on it. Then it just slowly kept nagging on me. Then seeing the docs, they were like, 'Hey, it’s time to get this thing fixed.'"

"In my world." lmao. I know some players perform better in pressure situations. That's true in "my world", too. I don't deny it. My point is that the vast majority who do are also very good in non clutch situations. The rest that "overperform" may be attributed in part to some innate skill that allows them to stay calm under pressure or it may just be plain random luck- like how some batter do better on Tuesdays or Saturdays than others. I have seen some players called clutch or chokes turn things around, quickly.

One can argue that with the money saved, we signed Richards, Perez I, Perez II, Paxton, Marwin, Andriese, Diekman and others, or Wacha, Kike, Hill, Strahm and others, but actually, it's all of them.
-
I was thinking he had one year left, but earlier I said 5 years vs 1. My math is impeccable.
-
Do they pay scribes to enter the numbers, or have they gone roboscribe?
-
The Big leagues keeps the stats?
-
Wait for more...
-
So we made the trade, too early.
-
Dugo is certainly no Betts, but the argument might go something like this: 5.2 bWAR from Dugo with one year to go> 3.6 bWAR from Betts in 2020 w no years to go. fWAR 5.3 > 2.9 Like I said, I would not trade a 9 WAR player for nine 1 WAR players, but it's not that simple. As far as I know, no better offers were made.
-
Probably more. The Rays and Os might have 10, too.
-
One reason could be the SSS of 109 PAs.
-
One could even argue 5 years of Dugo was a greater value than 1 short season of Betts, not even counting the Price salary dump that took $16M of 3 budget years each.
-
Yes, all of his 230 career playoff PAs.
-
I'm guessing this should be in green.

Devers Forevers!

If you have a big enough sample size of people flipping a coin 100 times, some will flip heads 65-75 times- some 25-35 times, and you can determine the mathematical chances for each number to occur. An actual test would reflect the mathematical predicted numbers pretty closely, and from what I've heard the amount of players doing very well in the clutch matches closely the expected randomly generated amount, too.
-
Certainly that could be a reason that happens, but those players do that in non clutch situations, too, and that's why they are better in the clutch, too. Very few players have wide differentials between career OPS and Clutch OPS, and when those that do see their sample sizes grow, their numbers tend to regress to their norm. My point is, how do we know the reasons some do better than others. If a computer generates what a normal plot charts would look like whe n randomly generated, and that plot chart looks almost exactly like the actual real chart, one wonders, if it is all just random or not. Better players normally do better in the clutch, just as better players normally do better on Tuesdays or Saturdays.
