Slaughter-ing The Myth Of Clutch
Last Monday, in "What a Difference a Year Makes (in Run Distribution)," we took a look at why the 2010 Cardinals ball club wound up with only 86 team wins despite having a Pythagorean Record of 91-71, which was the exact same Pythagorean Record and actual record of the 2009 incarnation of the Cardinals. It was meant more to look at the 2009 and 2010 seasons in hindsight than to predict what 2011 may hold.* In the discussion thread, a critique of the concept of a Pythagorean Record evolved into a discussion of clutch performance. This discussion reminded me of a photo I snapped at Busch Stadium last season.
