Nice change of subject there. YOU said the straw that broke the camels back was on a game that he didn’t put the team up 5 runs in the 9th, when the bullpen blew it. That’s all I need to read on the whole Wright is not clutch. Weakest argument ever.

How about a few game winning hits? Have YOU actually watched any games? Now this is bordering on asinine.

Wright was great down the stretch of 2007. He didn’t bat 1.000 and occasionally he made an out when a hit would have helped – but that’s the case with everyone.

The strangest group of people are those who give Reyes a pass for his Septs but hammer away at Wright or Beltran

2010 he was bad late and close and not good in High Leverage except for the fact that he still slugged over 500 264/317/504 821 OPS which is still pretty good despite being below his standards.

2011 he was hurt but I remember him being poor in the clutch prior to his injury. He still had an 811 OPS late and close and High Leverage it was 289/358/474 832 OPS again that’s pretty good. Just below his standards. And not as good as 2005-2008.

If Wright with the bases loaded in the 2nd inning of a 0-0 game knocks in a run via sac fly and the team wins 1-0 there are people who consider that at bat as “not clutch”

If Wright is up in the same situation in the 9th inning, the moment is magnified because there is less time for failure but the result is the exact same is it not?

This is partially why I do not buy into clutch. The moment is built up by fans, Wright is trying to get that run in during the 2nd inning just like he wants to get it in during the 8th inning. We usually do not remember those 2nd inning RBI – that doesn’t mean they weren’t important though does it?

2007 Beltran had 20 go ahead hits, 10 less than Wright. 2008 he had 24 same as Wright.

2007 Delgado had 12 go ahead hits and in 2008 he had 20.

2007 Reyes had 8 go ahead hits and in 2008 he had 10.

No matter how you slice it Wright was the best player on the team those 2 seasons.

He turned more deficits into leads and broke more ties than any other Met.

You can not even refute t

Really? You think an OPS of .876 in close and late in 2008 and an OPS of .811 in close and late in 2011 is HORRIBLE?

Then what do you think of Beltran’s close and late numbers for these years?

2007 — .627
2008 — .790
2010 — .707
2011 — .593
2012 — .780

Hmmmm … what say you, damaja?

Can you stay on point?

So getting back to THIS discussion, the numbers clearly show Wright is better than Beltran hitting in high leverage situations and late and close for his career. No amount of whining about the NY media will change that!

You can not even refute this

u do know a SAC FLY with the bases loaded in a tie game in the 9th inning carries more weight than a HR when ur up/down by 10 runs..

and neither would raise your batting average, OPS, SLG, OBP.

sorry…but most wright fans point to TWO seasons as to why DW is a clutch hitter…and even in those 2 seasons…i can zoom in and show how that is not exactly true.

ur opinion is NOT the reason why articles in 2011 were written explaining why Beltran was actually a clutch hitter and the NY media basically made him out to be the failure that David Wright actually was from 2008-2011 in clutch situations…

I gave you career stats. If players always had the same stats year after year, then no need for a career stat, right? That’s why you use a LARGE sample size. To even out the variations. It’s why larger sample sizes are more valid than smaller ones. LMAO. So what’s your point?

Even Beltran fluctuates year-to-year in terms of late and close:

And don’t look at me regarding Beltran. I never once criticized him regarding his clutchness.

You need to go back to the drawing board!

Not straw that broke the camels back but grasping at straws, it’s ok I can see how you got those two cliche’s confused.

Wright hit .341 in 2004
Wright hit .348 in 2006
Wright hit .346 in 2007

From 2008-2011, Wright was HORRIBLE in clutch situations…In the beginning of 2012, he was back to being awesome…then he fell back into his 2008-2011 ways…

People rode Beltran for years on not being clutch…

But David Wright for YEARS has gotten a pass…

thank u for bringing that up, u only made my case stronger
