So if Jeter is "Mr. Clutch"?

DangerGoodson · #1 06-18-2005, 07:00 PM

Why did it take him so long to hit his 1st grand slam?

You're an idiot.

Do you know what Jeter's BA is with the bases loaded? I'll give you a hint, it's well over .300.

His career AVG is well over .300 as well though.

his avg with the bases loaded is higher than his career average, but many players hit better with the bases loaded for a variety of reasons, it is not a jeter phenomenon.

You're correct, it's a varience phenomenon. But don't tell the broadcasters or managers that, it has to be kept secret.

no, its not a variance phenomenon.

look at all the career .300 hitters (im trying to group "very good" hitters), and look at their BA with the bases loaded. i would confidently bet that their ba with the bases loaded is better than their career ba. it isn't because of variance.

eh, thats all swell, but the epitome of clutch is when the bases are loaded and you bomb one over the fence.

If we wanna talk averages with Jeter we might as well discuss his blow job average. I'll give you a hint he probably gives out more than he takes. (especially to TV commentators.)

Then on what basis is Jeter considered clutch? Tell me I seriously want to know....

His point is that "clutch" is undefinable in statistics. By my account, there are "clutch plays," but not "clutch players."

Look at it this way: if you played better when you were playing clutchly, then you have the ability to play that way all the time and therefore are slacking a majority of the time.
