A-Rod's career playoff OPS is .045 higher than Derek Jeter's. But ask a casual fan who is more clutch when it matters?

But ARod's career OPS is .118 higher than Jeter's.

so unlike the marlins,did the twins just need a new stadium for fans to start going or is it the whole "new stadium" thing that lasts 3-5 years?

Why are things changing in a clutch situation? Because someone has been clutch in big moments in the past?

 

Would you rather have Craig Counsell or Joe Mauer up bottom of the ninth two outs down one with runners on?

Konerko is hitting .325 THIS YEAR, with an OBP over .400.

Tanks going yard right here.

I agree with this

Tanks going yard right here.

I tried.

There's plenty of point in it.

 

Just because someone has had a clutch hit in the past, it does not indicate how many clutch hits they will have in the future.

 

Baseball is a chaotic game, period. yet tons of energy is expended on making it not so.

 

We are not talking about just "A" clutch hit in the past when referring to Paulie & AJ, we are talking about multiple clutch hits.

 

Its just my opinion, give me Paulie or AJ over Rios.

 

Im just glad we have ALL 3 in our lineup.

My comments (just mine) were not directed at Konerko (except in a totally separate post I made, which was about him)

I think they really like being outdoors. Its a nice place and the location is fantastic. I don't think they will keep up with their current attendance figures if they keep losing, but I think good crowds are there to stay.

the twins look nothing like when we saw them at home, great defense and better pitching

we are talking about multiple clutch hits.

 

 

You'll start hating me for beating a dead horse, I know-- but wouldn't it be safe to say that plenty of BAD players in MLB history have had multiple clutch hits?

 

AJ is a decent hitting catcher, but this year is making people forget the guy who swings and swings endlessly to aid batting average but also create outs. I want this year to be what he really is, of course. but the larger accumulation data is what he really is.

Ive been pleasnatly surprised with Dunn at 1st

I think his weight loss has helped him. He's really trimmed down. I bet he's at least 10-15 lbs. lighter than he was on opening day and he had lost a lot then.

Definitely. Last year he was a fat f***ing slob.

The guy should've been starting the all star game this year & it seems he is getting better with age.

Very fortunate to have the runner at 3rd

It wasn't pretty but the job was done.

Drive him home ADA
