so basically a clutch stat would have to represent what's going on in a player's brain...which is impossible.
Sure, a clutch stat may not exist...but you cannot say it simply doesn't exist. Nerves play a role in player's ability. Maybe there is no way to measure it, but it exists.
Watching the Mariners lose to Oakland 2-1 the other night...in the 9th inning thinking to myself..."Would the Ms approach to this bottom of the 9th be any different if this were September and they were 1 GB a wild card spot"
Or even further... "Would the players feel a different sense of pressure, inducing different results"
