Pearson indeed is Mr Clutch...in the field also

DandyDon site this morning went through his player honors for LSU and Pearson was named by him Mr Clutch at the plate and he gave multiple examples of that. One poster here the other day resented the use of the word "clutch" by me and said there was no such thing to which I will respond....

But here is a classic moment from last year's game 1 CWS vs Florida. You can see the significance of this unbelievable catch by Pearson. If he doesn't make that, Florida goes up 1-0 in the series instead of LSU winning the game later. Then Florida annihilates LSU in the 2nd game and thus would win the CWS. Here is the video with the time of the catch given.

LINK Around the 2:25:15 mark

That catch definitely saved the natty and LSU never sees Game 3
Morgan played a lot of LF early in SEC play, apparently due to injury, so who knows if he would have made that play or not and had he stayed in the OF he's not at 1B to make the Wake Forest play

Not if the Rougarou schedule had a conflict
By the way, Priester not hitting much so far but Ruddell has looked pretty good in CF, will be interesting to see where he ends up

I wasn't going to bring you up by name but since you did... Yeah, that is why they don't keep the stat about individual hitters and their average with the bases loaded or even with men in scoring position when they bat...oh wait, they DO keep that stat! Seriously man, do you ever read your crap before you post it. It almost comes off as satire you are so clueless.

Hmm, don't know, but I bet the IQ of the average Dandy Don reader is more than the average IQ on this forum.

Claiming there is no such thing as a clutch player is something that low performance chokers say.


There are absolutely people who can calm themselves and their nerves in high pressure situations to perform at a high level.

Didn't even bother reading your post past the 2nd sentence. Let's see, I'm dumb and you can't even get my userid right. God, what the ultimate prick you are! Easily the worst poster on this entire board!

Taking an entire teams OPS with RISP and showing variance does nothing to disprove there are clutch individuals and not clutch individuals.



May I present Clayton kershaws career regular season ERA 2.48 whip 1.004 FIP 2.88.


Playoff era 4.49 WHIP 1.111. Over a seasons worth of innings.

Florida wouldn’t have annihilated LSU in game 2 if LSU was facing elimination. We pitched guys like Money and Dutton in game 2 once we fell behind to save pitching for game 3. We would have seen much different relievers for LSU if we were facing elimination.

You try and keep data points simple for low IQ individuals.

1 player’s sample size doesn’t prove anything, either.

Feel free to google & read the 100’s of articles on clutch hitting by people smarter than you or I.

Clutch hitters exist big man. Some folks are programmed to be better under pressure.

It’s proven that over large sample sizes, Good hitters hit well in clutch & bad hitters don’t.


But hey feel free to believe whatever you want lol

Well, you definitely got the latter comparison of that last phrase right for sure. Most people are a lot smarter than you. Once again, if you don't believe that some players are better in the clutch than others, you are a totally lost cause. As I've stated, analysts emphasize "BA with runners in scoring position" and "BA with the bases loaded" for a reason for individual players. It separates the CLUTCH players from the ones who can't deliver in important situations.
