I mean studied to death by sabermeticians who analyze baseball
statistics in depth. They haven't found any evidence to support the
claim you made above. If a pitcher has a low ERA and few wins, the
most likely explanation is poor runs support rather that some inherent
inability to win close games.

They can study statistics all they want. When a competitor is on the
field, the actual nature of the game has an influence on his or her
performance, whether negative or positive. This is true for any sport.

Yes, but if there really were such an ability, statistics would bear
it out. They don't.

W-L sums it up fine I believe just as when a QB in football throws for
4000 yards and still loses the majority of his games a la Jeff George.


Hey, didn't that dude play for the Raiders?



Yeah, and about another 100 teams. But he did indeed have one of his best seasons with the Raiders. Unfortunately for us fans, he made some of the stupidest mistakes I've ever seen out of an NFL QB, and at the most inopportune of times.
