Re: 2007 LGT-isms
Did you read Jeff's article?  One of his central points was the folly in labeling an entire team as "chokers."  He said that while it's rare, perhaps an individual can choke, but you won't see 25 guys turn into pudding.

You're arguing with yourself about CC.  Everyone seems to agree that he handled the postseason poorly.

Re: 2007 LGT-isms
I wasn't saying that the TEAM choked just pointing out that C.C did.  Also, C.C choke set a bad tone for the Indians in the ALCS just like Beckett set a good tone for the Red Sox.  While they might not have choked C.C performances all but guaranteed they wouldn't win.

Re: 2007 LGT-isms
E5,

Your initial response -- "I don't care what anyone says" -- implies you thought Jeff was defending CC's choke.  

Also, you say: "CC performances all but guaranteed they wouldn't win."  You know that's ludicrous, right?  Or perhaps you're just trying to be flippant.  Because I know that you know that after CC's second loss, we had Fausto and Jake pitching to still win the series.  

Not only did CC's performances not practically guarantee they wouldn't win, they had a completely reasonable opportunity to win in six games despite those performances.

Do you believe that CC's loss in game five affected the way the team played in games six and seven?

Re: 2007 LGT-isms
Let's not overreact to his comments. I am sure CC not coming through had some effect on the team's psyche, but maybe less so than having the pressure of finishing the series on the road.

Re: 2007 LGT-isms
Of course teams don't choke. Players choke (and sometimes third base coaches). The "team" doesn't come up to the plate every at-bat -individuals do. The "team" doesn't toe the rubber on every pitch - single players do. And individual players can and do choke.

Jeff trots out what for some reason has become an axiom in parts of the saber-rhetorical world, that pressure or circumstance has no effect on performance, that any appearance of same is due to SSS, etc. THAT is nonsense. I guess that view got a toehold in the long anecdotal argument over who is a clutch hitter, and whether "clutch" actually exists. Once enough stats had been brought to bear to show that there was no statistical basis for the belief that some players perform better than their career avgs in tight situations, that one statistical conclusion was used as a broad brush to discount any circumstantial deviation in performance. Its just not true. All players (in any sport, save Manny with a bat) feel pressure and have some physiological response to it. Some are able to perform as usual (clutch), some tense up or are unable to focus and do not (choke). Choking can vary in degree and frequency and threshold of pressure, but it does happen.

It doesn't take 9 or 11 players to choke to say "we choked". Just more than the other team, who (of course) are laboring under the same pressure.

Re: 2007 LGT-isms
And yet there is no proof that it happens. Why should we believe that the 2007 Indians (or 2004 Yankees) are weak-willed? Why were the Indians able to perform at all in the playoffs if they buckle under pressure?

Re: 2007 LGT-isms
Its not that its a consistent character flaw or something, like you're born a choker and you've been faking it all this time just to have it revealed in game 7. 99% of pro baseball players were clutch players at just about every level they played.

There's a pressure difference in pitching game 143 with a 7 game division lead vs pitching game 1 of the first round. And there's a difference between that game and the deciding game of the next round.

The greater the pressure, the harder it is to perform as you would without that pressure. But since I share the general optimism for next year and beyond, the good news is that generally the more you have to perform under pressure, the better you get at it.

Re: 2007 LGT-isms
I really loved the Soup meme that sbricker started. As I recall he had soup one day at a restaurant, the  Tribe then won, and of course had to go back day after day whether he liked the soup or not to keep the Tribe winning.

I laughed when I read it and was really tickled when it "spread", because that is literally how I became a die-hard Tribe fan. I had inherited the Cleveland sports bug from my parents, even though I lived in NY as a kid. Perhaps infected is the better word. Anyhow, I had bonded with the Browns of Leroy Kelly time, and altho I followed the Tribe I hadn't really soldered that last fanatic circuit in my brain. Maybe because they truly sucked. But I would follow them by boxscore every day. Then one summer day I had 2 bowls of Lipton's Chicken Noodle Soup (with Real Chicken Broth!), the kind that comes two foil packs per box and is easy enough for a kid to make by himself. For some reason I called it Mountaineer Soup. In the morning I looked at the boxscore and the Tribe had a convincing victory. My heart leapt, right around the same moment a horrible heat wave descended on the city and our un-AC'ed apartment.

That day I sweated with my face dripping over a steaming bowl of Lipton's Chicken Noodle Soup (with Real Chicken Broth!). Ambient temperature around 95, humidity the kind where your bath towels never dry between showers. And of course I open the paper the next day and the Indians have won two in a row.

And that was it - for the next two weeks of the heat wave I sweated into bowls of Lipton's soup every day, convinced that I had to do so for them to win. They didn't win all the time, but enough to keep me going. I was now a fanatic.

I can't remember what made me stop. I still like the soup (on chilly days), so it was probably the Tribe going on a losing streak, and it was clear some other mojo needed to be found. I do recall Charlie Spikes falling down between third and home in a close game that really pissed me off.
