PAs from players with a wRC+ below 30:
Yankees: 6 Rays: 33
Blue Jays: 62 Orioles: 97
Red Sox: 304
Which is how the Red Sox have a team wRC+ of 99 despite having 5 regulars above 130 and two more around 110.
ADD: And this might be a reason to think the poor clutch hitting isn't just bad luck? A couple of the hot hitters get on base, but then it's 2 or 3 guys in a row who are totally hopeless. Then if, say, Tyler O'Neill also happens to be cold in clutch situations as a matter of random variation then the whole offense is pretty much lost.
Maybe, but some of their worst hitters in the clutch have been their best hitters overall in O’Neill, Abreu and Casas. Even Wong. It’s actually incredible that O’Neill and Abreu have hit as well as they have and have zero WPA between them.

Gore stands in front of Connor Wong to prevent him from reaching home plate - immediately gives up 3 runs. Ball don’t lie

That was a little league inning like Youks said.
Bad play in CF. Another runner on 3rd less than 2 outs unscored.
At least Rafaela's bloop fell in.

Should have been runner interferance on Robbles, lucky there was not a serious injury than they charge him with an error, smh.

I feel bad for Cooper - they charged him for an error because someone rammed into his arm

Rafaela addicted to RBI also Wong should’ve just trucked Gore there, they would’ve given him the run Somehow he’s the one I’m most confident to put the ball in play with RISP.

2 outs walk to a crappy hitter then facing an ultra aggressive hitter who he just walked in the 2nd inning, you know that he was going to swing from his heels on the first pitch he sees.

So if Rafaela makes that catch and his momentum carries him into the bullpen, is it a homerun (ball left the playing field) or is it an out (ball got caught)?

Does it get any more inspirational than a Bonser/Meneses matchup ?

Kelly has to be the luckiest man on the planet today. He wasn't throwing strikes in Worcester and he's ot throwing strikes in Boston. Several of the called strikes were balls.

96 paint and he doesn’t get the K leading to a single. So classic.
