Re: Derek Jeter- Clutch?
[ QUOTE ]
Spouting absolutes just makes you look like an ass. [/ QUOTE ] Are you saying that there is such a thing? People can make clutch plays, but that does not make them clutch player. Derek Jeter has no special ability to "come through when it counts." For every time someone can name a clutch play he made, someone else can name a time he popped out with the game on the line.

Re: Derek Jeter- Clutch?
"Intangibles" is a word everyone uses but no one uses it correctly.
Clutch plays are by definition, tangible.

[ QUOTE ] There is no such thing as a clutch player. [/ QUOTE ] Right, because every baseball player performs exactly the same way in the post season as in the regular season. [/ QUOTE ] Baseball players play the same way in clutch situations and playoff situations as they do the rest of the time. Is Barry Bonds clutch? Nope, he sucked his first few times in the playoffs. Oh wait, I mean he is clutch, he ruled in the WS a few years ago. Good thing he "learned" to be "clutch."

Re: Derek Jeter- Clutch?
Heh, clutch. There's no such thing as a clutch player. I guess there could be clutch plays though...never really thought about it. If everyone played as well as they could at every moment, then there would be no room for clutch.

Re: Derek Jeter- Clutch?
They show up, we're just unable to measure it without a very large sample size.

Re: Derek Jeter- Clutch?
I think the fact that Yankee haters hate Jeter enough to fill a thread with 30 replies in 5 minutes about how he is not special or anything really proves my point. If he wasn't so good, people wouldn't hate on him as much.
