That small sample size thing is killing Clayton!! But he will do better when they stop playing live games and start doing APBA simulations. Then he can regress to the mean, or whatever that statistical term is.

Some people can't handle the fact that Kershaw is a choker. It is real, some people just don't want to admit it. Some players just can't handle pressure and they choke like Kershaw. Others aren't affected by pressure.

The clutch hitting seen tonight is just unreal. I can't remember anything like... since game 2 that is.
And Barnes has some huge ballz stretching that single into a double. |

Game 5 was the best World Series game I have ever seen. I didn't care much who wins this series until I watched this game tonight. Now I have to pull for Houston. That team just would not quit. Actually both teams. It was like two boxers trading punches and the last one standing wins. WOW.

crazy unique game. Jenson really hurting the legacy.
Not sure why not keep kershaw in with 90 pitches against altuve...might as well go down with him than maeda....2 more inherited runners scored on keshaw with 2 outs no less. Really hard to win playoff games....thats why the dodgers winning 7 out of the last 8 kershaw playoff starts so amazing...even this one he exited with a 3 run lead.. Dodgers somehow need to get past verlander....but even if get to game 7..id rather start Wood than Yu.. |

No such thing as clutch hitting. Just random hit sequencing.

I agree. It's like trying to place a hundred mile an hour fastball as a batter. I see the announcers say the batter tried to pull or drive it. I say BS?> he was just trying to get his bat on it and that is where it went.

It is about making solid contact. The record 8 home runs allowed by Kershaw isn't random. It's not like he has even pitched that many innings, 29. When the Cardinals were in the World Series, you could pencil Bob Gibson in for 27 without a division series or LCS. I know, today the snowflakes can't be asked to do too much.

To Leon's comment about announcers, I agree that stuff gets overstated a lot, however watch an MLB BP, and you'll see many/most guys work through a progression in their first couple rounds--- bunt toward 1st, bunt toward 3rd, groundballs to right, groundballs to left, then hit away. I doubt there's a whole lot of this directional hitting in game situations, and guys like Stanton have never been asked to bunt, or hit a groundball to 2nd. However I do think a lot of the low K rate, good bat control guys regularly try to execute this stuff on hit and runs, against the shift, butcher play, etc. Last edited by itjclarke; 10-30-2017 at 02:26 PM. |

Anyone else think Corey Seager looks like Roger Maris?

Justin Turner was the greatest clutch hitter since Babe Ruth. Until he wasn’t.

I know Bumgarner's post season stats get talked about more than enough, but when talking about what might be good for Kershaw, I have to point out the lines from Bum's WS appearances. 2010- 8 innings, 0 ER- Win (road) 2012- 7 innings, 0 ER- Win (road) 2014- 7 innings, 1 ER- Win (road) 9 innings 0 ER- Shutout Win 5 innings, 0 ER- saves game 7 (road) For good measure, throw in his 2x complete game shutouts in elimination wild card games, and you've got a true postseason ace. When you have to make qualification after qualification about someone/something, it's probably just not that great. Last edited by itjclarke; 10-30-2017 at 12:36 AM. |
