and most of their BA RISP spikes compared to their normal BA.


produce the list.

and i'm sure it's mostly to do with managers pitching around them and walking them "in the clutch"

if you want to judge a player individually it only makes sense to judge him on something that he can do individually.


I see your point, but you also can't discredit a good RBI number...its one of those "hes been there, proven he can can do that" number

he's a damn good hitter. I'm way too lazy to look up Kinsler's and Young's OBPs this year but I'm going to bet they're pretty high.

If you had him behind two lesser OBP guys, his RBIs would go down. It's that simple.

then it needs to be a HUGE sample size. Manny Ramirez fine. Josh Hamilton, not yet.

So you would be willing to plug in any guy with a similar OPS and expect to get the same RBI numbers?

Tony Gwynn hit .321 in the "clutch" he blows, that's like 20 points lower than his normal

Cal Ripken hits .247 in the "clutch" send him to AAA, bring up juan pierre

Barry Bonds hits .266 in the "Clutch" cut that mother fricker he cant produce "when it counts"

anybody with the same BAwRISP and a similar OPS then yeah. He's hitting great this year. That doesn't mean anyone can fill in and do it.

with what criteria?


just glancing, out of the last 10 MVP winners from each league, 7 of the 10's RISP was greater than their career AVG, while 3 remained the same.

and who votes for the mvp?

and what stupid tired stats do they use?

Hanley Ramriez had the best year last year, guess he wasn't good at BARISP or clutchiness

So you are quoting their AVG with 2 outs and RISP?

awesome. Nice reach.


the hardest position for any player to hit...


no one here ever endorsed that as the "clutch" stat.


Though I'd wonder what the league average is? care to look that up?
