Wasted time this morning doing what I swore I'd never do...
.
Look up stats.
.
For the hell of it, here is what this season's statistical breakdown tells us about Arod:
.
HITTING WITH BASES LOADED: .200
.
SCORING POSITION, 2 OUT: .244
.
MAN ON SECOND: .172
.
FIRST AND SECOND: .167
.
SECOND AND THIRD: .200
.
CLOSE AND LATE: .225
.
SCORING POSITION: .247
.
NONE ON: .355
.
NONE ON, OUT: .273
.
NONE ON, 1/2 OUT: .419
.
FENWAY PARK: .154
.
3-1 COUNT: .833 (Note: this is not a typo.)
.
0-2 COUNT: .182
.
3-2 COUNT: .407
.
Great player. Hall of Famer. Handsome. Smart. More likeable than they give him credit. Not his fault if we lose.
.
But this is why we gulp when Arod comes up in the clutch.
