  • Clips for 7-12-10
    MEDIA CLIPS – July 12th, 2018 Rockies stun D-backs with 19-run thrashing Four Colorado batters homer, including Gonzalez twice, starter Marquez Thomas Harding | MLB.com | July 11, 2018 DENVER -- The Rockies didn't just end an unseemly losing streak against the D-backs on Wednesday night. They obliterated it. Carlos Gonzalez homered twice and drove in six runs, Ian Desmond's first-inning blast accounted for three of his five RBIs, and Charlie Blackmon and pitcher German Marquez also went deep as the Rockies romped Arizona, 19-2, at Coors Field -- where the D-backs had previously won nine straight times. "I don't know," said Blackmon, whose Statcast-projected 434-foot homer off Jorge De La Rosa in the third was his deepest of the season. "We just whacked the ball tonight. I would like to think that it means we're going to continue to do that, but realistically, you're not going to score 19 runs a lot. "But at the same time, we did a really good job playing the game also. So it wasn't a complete fluke -- there was some good play in there." More important than the game stats was that the Rockies finished the night 3 1/2 games behind the National League West-leading D-backs and with a chance to win an important pre-All-Star break series. And they ended their longest losing streak at Coors against any club. 1 "We have a chance to win a series tomorrow, and they have a chance, also," said Nolan Arenado, whose 2-for-3 night with two RBIs seemed ho-hum in comparison with some of his teammates.

  • Cubs Daily Clips
    November 1, 2016 Chicago Sun-Times Maddon looks to Arrieta to go deep, take Cubs to Game 7 By Daryl Van Schouwen CLEVELAND — Of all the great things right-hander Jake Arrieta has done in such a relatively short time frame – think 0.75 second half ERA in 2015, the lowest in the history of the game – what will it matter should he fail to pitch the Cubs into Game 7 of the World Series Tuesday night? It’s unfair to say what the 2015 National League Cy Young Award winner has accomplished – he followed that second half with a good, not great 3.10 ERA in 2016 – won’t mean much if he doesn’t come through against the Indians in Game 6 at Progressive Field, but such is the nature of sports. It’s ‘What have you done for me in the last three hours?’ Or ‘What did you do when your team needed you to pass the baton to Kyle Hendricks for Game 7?’ In the last week, Arrieta did enough to help the Cubs win Game 2 in Cleveland, a 5-1 Cubs victory in which he took a no-hitter into the sixth inning but did not finish the frame. But if he’s not sharp Tuesday, Arrieta will be remembered this entire offseason and into next year for what he didn’t accomplish in Game 6. Arrieta knows this, and he says he has to guard against trying to shoulder more burden than he’s capable of. This is what some of the Cubs young hitters have done in the World Series and, by perhaps swinging for the long ball instead of trying to simplify and contribute a quality, productive at-bat, have doomed themselves to failure.

  • Clutch and Choke Hitters in Major League Baseball: Romantic Myth Or Empirical Fact
    Clutch and Choke Hitters in Major League Baseball: Romantic Myth or Empirical Fact. By: Elan Fuld 1st Released draft May 19th 2005 Page 2 ABSTRACT For a long time now, sabermetricians (baseball statisticians) believed that, at the Major League level, hitters who are truly clutch or choke performers1 do not really exist, even while the many managers, players, and announcers insist that they do exist. We performed statistical analyses to determine if clutch and/or choke hitters exist in the major leagues using all regular season play during the 1974-1992 seasons. We use a Gompertz regression2, a regression similar to logistic regression, but without symmetry around the point of inflection. Our independent variable is a probabilistically constructed measure of the ex ante importance of each plate appearance, and our dependent variable is based upon the value that OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage) would assign to the outcome of the plate appearance.3 We find that clutch/choke effects do exist at the major league level. We also find that a relatively small proportion of major leaguers exhibit such effects. According to our findings, only about 2% of major leaguers are in fact either clutch or choke hitters.4 Furthermore, we find that clutch hitters are not always the players commonly thought to be clutch hitters. In some cases, they are the last people thought to be. For example, one of only two men to show up as clutch at the .001 significance level, regardless of how we treat reaching on an error in the regression, is a man best known for his choke performance defensively: Bill Buckner.
