Re: Study Reveals Baseball\'s Great Clutch Hitters
livescience.com provides zero data that i can find on the webpage, so i'm not so sure i'm convinced. does he have some sort of minimum filter for plate appearances?
but, we do have a nice photo of bill buckner, so that's something. what does this study tell us? that eddie murray hit well in the clutch? i'm not sure this answers any questions. a better study: find a reliable way to predict who will hit better in the clutch. that'd be something.

Bill James makes my head hurt. I resent the fact that he has turned baseball into such a mathematical game. [/ QUOTE ] He didn't turn it into a such a matematical game. The numbers are there to be studied. This is akin to cursing Newton for using mathematics and inventing the calculus to study the universe.

Fuld defined a clutch hitter as one who hits better at more important moments. [/ QUOTE ] so, what he did was use data and applly it to his definition of a clutch hitter. How did this crap even get printed?

Re: Study Reveals Baseball\'s Great Clutch Hitters
It's ironic that you post a link to a mathematical study to support a belief that you have but later in the thread say you don't like the mathematical aspect of the game.

I just posted it because I knew it was going to get posted anyway, and there have been a ton of threads about "clutch" hitters. [/ QUOTE ] With your psychic powers you should be crushing 0.01/0.02 game.

When I play poker, I play Stars .25/.50, and I do quite well at it. I've never had to reload, at least. [/ QUOTE ] If you played as often as you post I doubt that this would be the case.
