Yeah, its just a matter of how we look at it. i would say that i am wrong, even from my side, just by the fact of "clutch" being a big play at a big moment, then, no argument. I guess the exception i take with how the word is thrown around, is how failures in big moments are overlooked to make a case for someone being "clutch". Basically, i would say bennett has made clutch plays, but i dont buy into the "this guy is clutch" mentality, for reasons previously stated. but yeah, man, its all good.

That's the only point I was trying to make. Any big play or unexpected event can be called clutch and it doesn't even have to come from a clutch player. An example might Scott Posedniks homer in the 2005 playoffs. Although he was a great fielder he could hardly be called a clutch hitter. So he goes out and hits his only HR of the season to win a key game for the Sox. Clutch play, yes but clutch hitter, no. All good

So, did we finally come to a consensus on what the term "clutch" means, after pages and pages of deliberation?
