Clemens: Bads85 v Olbermann

By Tangotiger, 03:22 PM

I quite enjoyed this piece:

Your opening salvo against Clemens is that his team have lost seventeen of the thirty-post season games he has started, even though Clemens is 12-8 in the post season. ... you imply that the reason Clemens’ teams lost seventeen times is because Clemens had to leave the games early or because he blew leads.  Let’s take a look at Clemens’ no decisions that resulted in a team loss. {summary chart} In most of those games, it is obvious that Clemens was hardly the reason for his team’s defeat. To parade idea that Clemens was responsible for all of his team’s seventeen losses is disingenuous. However, from there, you embark into complete stupidity, faulting Clemens for blowing 8 leads over the course of a game in 34 post season appearances.
