In response to "That's just nonsense." by David

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)

studies have shown that randomness of small sample sizes are significant--VASTLY MORE significant--effect on performance than "clutch".

*If* it exists, it's so small that it's negligible.

Responses:

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
