Marco freakin Scutaro is the NLCS MVP!! I’m convinced that I will never see a Mets Championship again in my lifetime. Inept managment, toothless coaches and rudderless players! Oy vey!

We just leave the office at 4 and walk over to the ballpark, no throgs neck bridge, midtown tunnel, belt parkway, etc to deal with. Grab a bowl of chowda in a s.f. Sourdough bowl, a Sierra Nevada brew and enjoy.

You came up with 1000 words for as to why/what/when/where/how he’d come up in a big spot.. all i was looking for it’s a simply YES or NO.. but hey, suit yourself..

Of course that depends on the situation as each situation is different. Over the course of his career however, all those stats with RISP, RISP 2/O, Late and Close, High Leverage, they all even out to close to his career norms. If it’s a power pitching RH pitcher then I think he is going to struggle in a clutch position, just as those players like Utley and Howard often do vs. LH in clutch positions. Again, until someone actually defines “big spot” or “clutch” and we all agree on the definition then these discussions will always be subjective.

As for again how blogs portray him when he gets what they determine is a “clutch” hit, again you are letting others views of Wright influence your own. I have no idea why nor do I care why those people praise Wright when he gets one. Maybe because they feel a need to prove you guys wrong, I have no idea. Ask one of them.

I can imagine that many a fan will still be at work or trying to get home for these 5 pm PST game starts.

As a baseball fan who will be watching the WS here on the east coast, this makes me happy. :-)

The very thing you hate about detractors of Reyes and Beltran is exactly how you are viewed on Wright.

When have i ever accused wright of this? My problem with him is that he’s an excuse maker, and when he failed miserably that night he looked for an excuse and said he made a great 3-2 pitch on a ball 6 feet off the plate.. Metlou sounds totally off but that’s his opinion, can’t fault him for thinking that, once in a while you let comments you don’t agree with just sit there and keep it moving

Honestly as far as I know that would be the only exception to that rule. Unless you count Texas as part of that West Coast but even then it’s limited. It isn’t like they are the Cowboys.

When you get a couple of teams that both seem nice and easy to root for, without any compelling drama, you are not likely to get a bunch of non-team specific fans tuning in.

The bat NEVER moved on that pitch. Absoluteley no effort at all , none, nada, fini. At least get the bat off the shoulder and be READY! That is what I fault him for and always will. Why the clutch at bat last night trying to not be the last out in a 9-0 rout in drenching rain?

Its just population alone that will come into play. People on the east coast are not staying up until 1:00 AM to watch the Tigers and Giants play. Call it East Coast bias but it’s just facts.

Also to think that players can’t learn from their experiences? You don’t think if Beltran had that AB over again he wouldn’t do something different? Same thing with Wright and his infamous AB.

Just like it has been as of late, the ratings will suck because there are no marquee teams in it.. Detroit has the most superstars but SF is just a boring team in terms of marketbility.. That’s just my take.

Beltran vs. Wainwright curve doesn’t compare to Romo trying to grip that ball in the pouring rain and get 1 more out. Did you see those pitches to Beltran? That wasn’t pitching. That was going through his windup and hoping the hell he didn’t kill anyone when he released the ball.
