2-2 and 2 steals....This is what we were hoping on getting from day 1. Well at least we got 1 day of it.

A jack for Jacque!

 

Bah, it was a meaningless homerun as the Cubs already had the lead.

 

Jacque = not clutch.

 

:twisted:

 

Trade him for Dunn.

 

A team with Jones, Dunn, and Arod as the heart of the order wouldn't win games because none of those guys hit when it counts.

 

Can't be any worse then the Cubs as currently assembled.

 

I'm not sure if you guys are being sarcastic when talking about whether Jones is clutch. I seem to remember about 2-3 games where a Jock hit was clutch...

 

I'm totally being sarcastic.

 

a) I don't believe in guys being able to "bear down more" in clutch situations like Brenly does.

b) Jones has hit better with RISP than just about everybody else on the team.

 

I think you'll find, with nearly any team, the player with the highest BA tends to have the highest BA with RISP.

 

And its no coincidence. :roll:

 

Except that's not true. A quick look at the NL central shows that only 2 out of 6 teams have the player with the highest batting average with the highest average with RISP (with a certain mininum of at bats to take pitchers and bench players out). I bet you could find that is probably true around the league. For example, Barrett is hitting .307 and Jones only .287 normally, but Jones is batting the best on the team with RISP-.288. Then comes Ramirez, Walker, Cedeno, and Neifi before you get to Barrett! Would you like to back up your statement?

They talked about this in Behind the Numbers, but they defined clutch as more than BA with RISP, and they came to the conclusion that good hitters are clutch and bad hitters aren't.
