NLCS Game 1

“tOPS+ – OPS+ of this split relative to the player or team’s overall OPS: 100*((split OBP/total OBP) + (split SLG/total SLG) – 1)” Just admit that you are wrong. There is no way in hell you can say Jim Thome is a better clutch hitter than Big Frank. I like you larry but you are dead wrong on this. You can try and belittle my baseball knowledge but you are dead FUCKING wrong.

"i guess you shouldn’t point people towards thome’s 2008 numbers, either. you lose. again. stop trying."

Obviously I was wrong about saying Frank would have been better than Thome this year. My point was Frank carried sub-par teams while Thome was surrounded by protection his whole career. As far as Thome being more clutch than Thomas (your argument?) not even close buddy.

clutch is a joke argument. stop using it.

by larry on Oct 10, 2008 8:55 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

the difference between the two is that frank thomas was a better player.

largely because he’s more well-rounded – i.e., could hit both righties and lefties with basically equal aptitude. jim thome’s numbers are not as impressive in late innings because he has a weakness – one that appears whether it’s the first or the fiteenth – against lefties. in late innings, thome is more likely to face a lefty. hence his lower stats. duh.

by larry on Oct 10, 2008 9:01 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

thank you?

I still don’t see how him hitting lefties has any relevance to a guy failing in september 2 times with the white sox now. Ok maybe not FAILING but not being his average or above average self. In 2000 one can argue that Frank carried that team all season whether he was raking righties or lefties. Do more lefties pitch in september?

looking at month to month statistics is also stupid. stop doing it.

by larry on Oct 10, 2008 9:27 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs

why?

me and you understand that games in april are just as important as games in september. We also both know that players do not put as much pressure on themselves in april as they do in september.

why do you take this so seriously?

did you strike out a lot in late innings of little league games growing up? Notably early July? :X

larry and I have had some

very heated battles before with out other members of the board jumping in (well sometimes). I respect his opinion but, sometimes I don’t feel that respect is mutual. You can not discredit someone’s evidence because you do not believe in being “clutch”. That would be like arguing over whether god exists. I showed him my evidence and he chose to discredit it. Therefore, there was an SSH style attack.

Way to go danks

bitch can’t throw more than 130 innings a season? Trade him. He has no balls

why is it a joke argument?

I know we have been over this before… ya ya ya there is no way to prove that being “clutch” even exists. I wonder if Reggie Jackson agrees?

so then you know why it's a joke argument.

by the way, you may want to actually look at how mr. october hit in october. facts are tricky things, sometimes. his numbers are exactly what you’d expect them to be based upon his career. he was a good player who played equally good in the postseason.

you're fucked.
