Can we start IBB'ing hitters untill we find one I feel comfortable facing? I mean the pitcher is only 6 batters away
-

I find it equally disturbing when it's said when we actually have the lead. Dont blink

MONROE PLAYED IN A WORLD SERIES!! WHY OH WHY DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? I keep forgetting that talent means everything from April to August, but come Sept its all about experience, and screw talent. this is why you'll never manage in the majors. this, and the fact that you didn't play in the majors. but mostly the first part And here Ive thought it was cause I blew out my arm, but hey damnit Ive got alot of experience in HS ball. I even pitched in regionals, thats pressure, that has to count for something right? were you gritty, hardnosed...a gamer? did you play the game the right way? Nah I loafed sometimes, and hardly ever bunted, guess Im screwed

From Cubs.com Lol what a bunch of BS. Absolute crap, plain and simple.

Exactly, that was my main reason for bringing this up. Last night during the Cards game, the Cards announcers started saying the Brewers had a ton of momentum heading into these last 5 games. Its such a cliche in baseball, and gets talked about way too much, for as little effect it has, if any.
-
because they've won 3 in a row? they lost 4 in a row right before that At least they haven't given up, like the Cards. It's interesting to see a team that won the World Series last year play with such a lack of pride. more like lack of talent Did Wainwright, Eckstein, Edmonds, Spiezo, Ankiel, Miles and that Pujols guy all of a sudden all become talentless bums? As for the bolded no not all of a sudden, its been like that for awhile. As for Edmonds, it hasnt been all of a sudden, its been this year, hes old and his body is beat up. Hes not the early 2000's Edmonds. As for Pujols, the guy is hurt. He could barely make it around the bases last night. [/b]

So you say I'm being ridiculous for saying that momentum could exist in other sports including baseball and then you state that momentum exist to "some degree" in baseball, but is "pretty minimal" to the point of being negible with no evidence nor explanation. Talk about calling the kettle black. Do me a favor ask a baseball player if he believes in momentum and see what he says. What does that matter? Its been so cliched throughout baseball that yes, most baseball players will say they believe in it. But most of those same players will also tell you wins for a pitcher means something, and Juan Pierre is good.
-
Explain how it does in baseball? Its more about who you are playing. The Brewers limped into this series with the Cardinals after 2 devastating defeats. They seem to not be having a problem after that, why? Because the Cards pitching staff is terrible and they are a AAA offense, it has nothing to do with momentum. when you say "more about who you are playing" you are saying "momentum does matter" Anyway, I'll say there's probably a rather small effect from momentum. How so? The Cards have a terrible pitching staff and offense the Brewers should win, how is that saying momentum does matter?

Have I not been doing that in this thread? Momentum is something that is basically like clutch, it can always be said after the fact, but never before. Its more about who you are playing, whos pitching, etc... then some fairy tale imaginary thing called momentum. People are going to say the Brewers have momentum now, but what happened to those devastating defeats against the Braves? They started facing a new team, with crappy pitchers, and an offense killed by injuries. Momentum could last 1 inning or 10 games. If people could control momentum they would never lose and hit 1.000. There is all kinds of ways you lose momentum. You said that it exsist in Basketball and not baseball. Okay let me ask you then if the Bulls win the first 10 games and lose the next 10 isn't that momentum gained and loss? See where I'm going? Momentum is going to come and go in sports. Sorry Ive got to go to work, Ill respond to this in the morning. I think its definatly an interesting convo to try and get the people off the ledge at least for awhile lol.

What would you call it if he came up and struck out? A typical at bat for him. Obviously the player isn't going to hit a HR every time. He's human. But I don't see how, in that scenario, you can't see how momentum can be a factor. Bottom line... baseball players are human. People are affected by momentum. As a result, so are baseball players. I still find it funny that some people believe mometum is possible in basketball and not baseball. It's stupid. No its not
