Default Is 'clutch hitting' overrated?

Posted By: davidcycleback

"Isn't clutch hitting what brought the Red Sox back from a 0-3 deficit to a World Series ring?"

Losing the first three games also was necessary. If they won the series 4-2,
it would have been superior playing (Whether in baseball or tennis, 4-3 is
a better score than 4-2). Only in the world of 'clutch hitting' would 4-3
be considered a better score than 4-2. That is known as an irrational bias.
