It's tough watching Albert struggle so badly in clutch situations, but the rest of the team seems to be doing very well when it matters.  Does anybody have an informed take on why Pujols results are so different depending on the situation?

He flat out stinks in a bases loaded situation.

[Jay]

One thing I see in your data above is as the sample size increases, Pujols' situational average becomes closer to his career average.

[Sam Sanchez]

Except in the case with bases empty, with only 1 more at-bat than runners on, he is exactly at his career average, and there's a significant drop-off between the two.

This. How in the world do the Angels lead the AL in this stat?

[Erstad Grit]

I'm no hitting expert but from just my fan eyes he seems super ancy and pull happy with risp. The result is usually ground ball left side.

[Jeff Fletcher]

As for driving in runners from 3b a less than 2 out.

Angels are 49 pct

AL average is 52 pct.

This is one that I think all fans think their team stinks at because they all feel it should be automatic. But it's not.

Baserunners scored: Angels 15 pct. AL average 14 pct.

its like investing.

the pain of a loss X isn't equal to the happiness of gain X.

its something like a loss of some amount is 3 times for painful than a gain of the same amount.

 

so we all clearly remember the times they sh*t the bed and came up empty with ducks on the pond and 2 outs.

but the times they came through we just kind of expected it (in a sense, i rarely expect this team to do anything with RISP, but you get the idea).
