I know it's generally frowned upon in the saber community, but perhaps small-ball baseball actually has a positive correlation with what we refer to as 'clutch'. Though, yes, I am aware that the angels are not playing anywhere near the amount of small-ball productive outs baseball this year as they have in the past. Still, the continued trend seems like more than noise to me for sure. FWIW, The angles have are +4 clutch wins this year so far, 1st in the majors, again.

It would be really helpful if you could fill out (and possibly disseminate) my survey so that I can try to more accurately define this puzzling, yet fascinating, concept. Here is some background information: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=VUWValhJzb65tk1lZoMMEQ_3d_3d What is “clutch”? What players are considered “clutch” performers? What players are “gritty” or have natural talent? Are these players also “clutch”? These frequently cited terms in the game of baseball have never been objectively studied, but I am trying to change that. I’m a University of Pennsylvania psychology student who is doing an honors thesis about clutch performance in baseball. I have created a survey asking about some Major League players’ characteristics and it would be great if some of you, being huge baseball fans, could fill it out! It should only take a maximum of 15 minutes. Also, I would love to hear any comments that you have about my survey! Thanks so much for all your help!

Clutch wins made the AL West crazy lopsided. I remember this time last year everyone was talking about the Diamondbacks and how they outperformed their record. They were only +11 clutch wins.
