In response to "I believe choking exists in the world. But it's been studies numerous times and shown to not exist in *MLB* to any significant extent. " by musubi

That's just nonsense.

Guys who choke are never weeded out. Each new tier has a new divide of the top and the bottom. It's counter-intuitive to even try to argue against this.

I said it last offseason and I'll say it again. The reason the column you linked that time got written is because once DOB started noticing my complaint, he tried to point out when Tex had a clutch hit...and came to agree with me.

Responses:

My recollection of the column was the DOB *always* agreed with you. It was JC Bradbury who I linked, he disagree with you and O'Brien. (nm) - musubi Nov 9, 11:02 4
- Right and he wrote that column because DOB started frequently pointing out on the blog how we would have won a game if Tex had come through in clutch. - David Nov 9, 11:06 3
  - You're letting your emotional reaction to small sample sizes color your ability to accept reason. - musubi Nov 9, 11:11 2
    - Your stance is that there is no standard deviation once players reach the MLB level. It couldn't be more nonsensical. Seriously. -- nm - David Nov 9, 11:17 1
      - So your arguement here is, "I think that's silly, so it can't be?" - musubi Nov 9, 11:22
