Watching the Cubs/Rays series last night I noticed a pretty consistent trend amongst Aramis Ramirez' at-bats, specifically it seemed that every time he came up to the plate there was at least one runner on, and yet Ramirez did next to nothing. I decided to go back and look over Ramirez' 12 at-bats to see if I was correct in my assessment or just cherry picking memories, and here's what I found:

Now I can't say it's unexpected that the team with the highest on-base percentage gets a ton of runners on in front of their cleanup hitter, but four per game seemed a bit high. As it turns out Ramirez has had 123 at-bats with runners on, and roughly 151 total runners. In those at-bats Ramirez is hitting a robust .293/.397/.545, yet Ramirez went hitless during the seven at-bats during the series, welcome to the random world of "clutch" hitting.
