Josh Fogg pitches well against the Brewers.

 

Therefore, clutch hitting exists.

 

Indeed

 

 

and then

 

Matt Wise's line tonight is horrible. Still, he was a victim of some bad luck...

 

 

I firmly believe that both luck, and clutch hitting (i.e. the mental part of the game) are just as much of a factor in a teams success as adding a bunch of numbers to determine who is the best players to start.

Yep, 'cause those numbers are just arbitrary creations... the only way to really know who is a good baseball player is to see it for yourself. I mean, all these stat geeks just make up stuff. I don't care that studies of thousands of games have proven that clutch hitters do not exist... I *know* they do, and I won't believe any data to the contrary. Science is a big sham, and so is mathematics. It's all a bunch of intellectual hooey. I know the game. You don't.

 

Please. The fact that luck exists in baseball and the belief that clutch hitters exist are entirely unrelated. I agree that baseball is a mental game as well as a physical one. But that doesn't mean that myths like the "clutch hitter" are true.

 

I don't feel like getting involved in this *again*. A call was issued on the previous thread for *any* evidence that clutch hitters exist, and so far none has been advanced. Until that happens, this is just a science vs. religion debate, and those aren't any fun.

It is just BS that they allow ballparks to be built with fans in the way. Is there a football field built that allows fans to get into the action when a guy is going for a touchdown? I think not. Get the fans out of play!!!!!!!

man oh freaking man, now this is probably me getting very frustrated with our brewers doing their best impersonation of 2 years ago, and i know i wouldn't be saying this if the brewers had won tonight's games or one of them at least, but i just plain think the brewers need to make a move, maybe it is bringing lil ben or hart up, i don't know, ok, the brewers weren't supposed to be this good this year, but guess what, THEY ARE, shake up a lil bit or a lotta bit, just do something, i think this is just me not being able to stand this type of play........

Let me play the role of JaNelson tonight by reminding the Brewers that the 13-man pitching staff is ridiculous already. Kieschnick, Wise, and Burba were all very rusty coming in -- heck, Kinney hasn't pitched in what, 13 days?

 

Oh well, maybe we'll get a crowd shot of Mrs. Kris Benson Saturday night.
