See I could be bitter about 1989 still, but I'm over that Will Clark, Kevin Mitchell, and Matt Williams type of stuff. I said I'm over it, ok

Bumgarner was an 89 last year, with proper pitch edits he was an 87. So even if you boost all of his pitching ratings by 10 he still falls short of a 99.

If you give him reasonable boosts to clutch, BB/9, and H/9 (+5-10), he's somewhere around 90, +/- 1-2.

If you want to take the postseason into account, you also have to include his horrid 2012 performance since the show rates on a weighted 3-year basis.

Yea I definitely don't think he should be a 99. And as far as the 2012 post season performance...still don't forget he didn't give up any earned runs at all in the World Series that year. In all 3 World Series he has only given up 1 run and that was a HR this past World Series. Which leads to the lowest ERA of a starting pitcher with like 25 innings pitched.

Either way all I said was Post Season performances have to be thrown in to the equation. Now whether it's for OVR or just Clutch I don't know. But we can't act like the post season performances never happened. That's where the difference between a great ball player and a legend is made!

That's completely irrelevant to who the better pitcher is. Players aren't judged and valued simply on their postseason merits. This isn't football.

Jon Jay hit .483 in the 2014 playoffs. Do you now consider him one of the best players in baseball based off that? Come on now.

Clutch, it's 100% clutch.

His 88 postseason innings (holy crap, by the way) don't outweigh his 952 regular season innings.

No they definitely don't, but I'm saying as far as SCEA rates them, I don't know if they just mix the post season stats with regular season stats to get the OVR rating or they look at things like play off performances strictly for clutch...which in the end clutch I'm pretty sure can change someone's OVR right?

Tell that to Boston who overpaid considerably for Sandoval after his postseason performance haha.

Not enough pop in his bat for that and other than this past year his post season numbers were abysmal.
