Among the head-scratchers I've heard since mid-September from some circles around Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant: "He's not clutch." This is baffling, for a person who values baseball and language both in high esteem. I suppose people are allowed to use their definitions for a word, but this examines the bizarre clutchiness claim against the Cubs most recent MVP and Rookie of the Year.
Sometimes, loaded terms are tossed around in and out of baseball. One can be "plays the game the right way," which can be very dismissive of certain players. However, this doesn't seem to be an issue with Bryant.
