ok, now i'm definitely feeling the sarcasm in the thread. i think jeff's tweet is not being received as intended.

[Homebrewer]

I was serious..

[ABC]

what do you think he's assuming by writing this?

 

the op wrote that howie is clutch - I would imagine somewhat in jest.

 

Fletcher just wrote the stat for all to see.  

 

so he wrote it in jest and just for for all to see? what a pro. good job defending him.

Talk about not having a solid understanding of the English language.

You really have a reading comprehension problem. Let's break it down.

Fletcher posted a Stat on Twitter.

Nate saw the tweet and made a thread.

Nate is the one that took the stat and applied a tongue in cheek association with clutch that didn't exist.

You got owned.

You sound like a 12yo on some video game forum. Quite embarrassing for an old guy.

That was my ode to seasontix75.

I posted that stat to illustrate that Kendrick is more productive than people think he is in those situations.

Yes, he hits into a lot of DPs. The reason he does that is because he

1. Bats with a lot of guys on base, because of where he hits in the lineup

2. Doesn't strike out much

3. Hits a lot of ground balls

4. Hits the ball hard

5. Isnt terribly fast

Reasons 2-4 are also part of why he's a good hitter, and they are also part of the reason that when he's not hitting into DP's, he is very productive.

His career average - career - in the DP situations is .312, which is 20 points higher than overall.

Hitting into DP's is a negative side affect of a skill set that is mostly positive.

[full circle]

Good points. I do think there are some adjustments he could make to somewhat mitigate the tendency in those situations but he'll always be prone to it for just the reasons you stated.

My posts in this thread regarding your tweet were an overreaction. 

 

Good to see the mods not throwing fuel on the fire -lol. (The NWO on AW never had a chance.)

i'd just like to point out that i've never criticized howie for hitting into DP's. now jeff and i are friends and he can come to my birthday party. it's going to be awesome. you guys aren't invited.

I always cringe when Howie is up with runners in double play position.  I still like him though.
