Small sample size. He only had 20 PA total. Anyone in the world, the best hitter, the worst hitter, the most clutch hitter, a guy who's never played baseball player, Babe Ruth, LeBron James, Barack Obama, you, me... anyone over 20 PAs can go 0 for 3 with RISP or 3 for 3 with RISP or whatever Teixeria probably went that series. Is Aaron Boone clutch because he's 1 for 1 in Game 7 of the ALCS in extra innings with the game tied? He probably only has like a 1% chance of hitting that HR, even the best hitter in the world has a 60-65% chance of making an out in that situation. Does that mean Boone is more clutch or that the other guy is not clutch?

I'm done arguing this as I've crushed you in this debate. Why don't you counter any of the points that I'm making without using a small sample size to back yourself or even provide statistics of any kind (BA with RISP, RBIs, anything over a large sample size) to back up your points besides general ideas and conventional thinking of the 1950s?

How many dollars are you down betting baseball?

Put a small bit on Giants +1500 for the WS before tonight's game. If they pull off tonight (up 4-0 in the 4th), they should be favored in games 6 and 7 at home. Figure Tigers would be no more than -150 vs them (I did take Tigers at same size at -135).

Feel like I got good value out of it....

Verlander clutch. LOL. His usual choking self. He is the reason they are playing in San Fran tonight.

worley demoted to bullpen

original argument was around phillies u95 or so wins being a lock and that it wasn't because worley was a beast
