Two Outs Man On Third Game Tied In 9th Who Do You Want Up?

[blid]

If I am so stupid put up or shut up. I bet you Miggi has more GAME WINNING RBIS than Markakis does this season. The loser puts "I bow to the wisdom of the winner in their signature line the entire off season. Either man up or quit calling me stupid because I sure as hell ain't scared to backup my position that Miggi is better in the clutch.

Hah even if that mattered, you're talking about a stat that players only accumulate very rarely, and you're limiting it to just this season, and this season is barely over 20 games in, and that doesn't account for how many opportunities each player has had so far to drive in a GWRBI. Has Nick even been up in that circumstance yet?

I think when he was up they intentionally walked him, not sure which team did it though.

On April 30 against the Red Sox, 4-4 score, bottom of the 10th, Jones on second, one out, Markakis at bat. They intentionally walked Markakis. Wieters strikes out. Tejada then singles to win the game, which is probably what's convinced O#5fan that Tejada is a god in clutch situations, while (to use his actual comparisons, from other people's quotes since I have him on ignore), Markakis isn't as good as Babe Ruth or Frank Robinson. (!!!)

As I and I think others have noted, it is because Markakis is batting ahead of him that Tejada will get more such opportunities than Markakis, who has Jones and Izturis ahead of him. As also pointed out, Markakis had just such an opportunity three days ago, but was walked intentionally, giving Tejada the opportunity for the GWRBI that I believe sparked this entire silly discussion.

Also, didn't someone point out that only two players *in history* had more walk-off GWRBI than the four that Markakis had in 2007? (Yes, these things are rare - but do I have that stat right?) Doesn't that make Markakis better than, well, Babe Ruth and Frank Robinson?

Well using the logic displayed on the board today by a certain poster, I think it does.:laughlol:

once again aren't you like 50? Why can't you just admit you are wrong? Why must you act so childish? We don't NEED to back anything up -ooooo you'll change your signature! WOW! BIG MAN!

Hows about this, you delete your account.

Beat me to it. But I was going to say Babe Ruth. (didn't say he had to be alive)

Horrible answer...best he could do is walk...but then again i don't know how the strike zone works when the batter is horizontal.

[Sports Guy]

Okay, how about the fact that he has a .444 BABIP against LHP so far this season, despite having a 15.8 LD%

When a guy is hitting .321, with a .444 BABIP, a huge K rate, low LD rate, and a history of not hitting lefties, what does it suggest? I'm curious.

It suggests nothing..the sample size is too small for it to suggest anything.

[hobbycars]

Right now Wiggington. Any other time, Nick the Stick.

[ShaneDawg85]

So Tejada goes from being one of Oldfan's favorite whipping boys in a past life to being his new hero on a pedestal, because of one instance so far this season? My brain hurts more from trying to rationalize that than learning statistics.

I know people think OF#5 is offering stupid arguments, but to someone sitting outside this thread, he isn't nearly as dumb as the people being succered into his game. :rofl:

Ignoring the irony of your misspelled word, I completely agree. He isn't doing this because he thinks he's right - he's doing it because he knows it will get under peoples' skin. Trolls get off on this kind of thing.

[Old#5fan]

But you certainly are stupid enough to think that one player having more GWRBI than the other would prove that they are better in the clutch, apparently.

I could be in a coma and know more about baseball than you!:laughlol:

Then make the bet instead of acting like a winner when I guarantee you I will end up winning the bet and you will be the LOSER for the entire OH to see! :laughlol:

The Gauntlet has been laid and you chickened out and ran the other WAY! Why if you are so RIGHT? Apparently I am the BIG MAN here because if you are just scared say you're SCARED!

Can we test this hypothesis out?
