baseball, one pitcher can change momentum, be it good or bad, all by himself
football and basketball are sports where the emotion of momentum has a bigger impact
a goalie can be a lot like a pitcher, except he needs some help in front of him

Hockey
Once a team has true momentum they live in the opponents zone & the other team plays hell trying to clear & keep the puck away from their own goalie.
Football a close 2nd.
I kind of want to agree with tennis too Chop, but I think more often than not, in that sport, some days a player has it, and some days they don't...

Are you talking about within a game, or from game to game? In Baseball, Momentum is the next days starting pitcher. In Football, Momentum ends at the final gun, and starts again on the next weeks opening kickoff, but within a game, I believe in momentum. You can just see a Football team get deflated/inflated.
Overall, I'd say Baseball as the least, Hockey as the most.

Was just listening to sports radio the other day on the topic of how momentum in sports doesn't carry over from game to game and each & every game starts anew.
Do you guys agree or disagree?
Also agree with baseball having the least, if at all...
Oddly even though I think baseball has the least amount of mo in game I think baseball carries over the most amount of momentum to the next game as strange as it sounds.
My thread was based on in game.
But I do think it carries over somewhat to the next.
You must not watch tennis
It definitely exists.
Probably mental, psychological & confidence breakdown or rise in players/teams based on important moments in a game, but it's real...
There is no such thing as momentum from game to game. It happens within the game but it is not called momentum. People like to be able describe what they are seeing....so we call it "momentum" even though really it does not exist. What is it? Critical moments in games is your clutch gene...if youre able to put pressure aside well. and mental exhaustion is momentum now? Come on now
Its the course of the game. The result of all factors combined put into that day vs eachother. Thats why I call it fate. Everyone say the Giants won the superbowl in 08 because they got hot at the end. How were they "hotter" and have more momentum than the 18-0 patriots? If the Patriots won you know what people would of said?
That they had "momentum" "they were hot"
That they had "momentum" "they were hot"
Yes I have.
You're wrong on this one my friend.
I would think anyone who has played and/or watched sports for many years would know Momentum is unofficially unexplained, but real...
Lol momentum is so real in peoples eyes that it has taken on the qualities of a tangible object that takes over games and makes teams win. Everybody wants this tangible object but nobody really knows what it is.
Your past success does not indicate that you are more likely to win in the next half or game or at bat or at shooting a free throw shot. It doesn't.

In any case no matter where you look at it. Therr are actually reversals instead of momentum. In other words....when a team goes on a run....the other team starts to come back.
The studies have been scientifically researched. Team and individual momentum has proven to not exist. But people still choose to believe it because it is the easy most understandable thing to do.

I know you have seen me say hot doesn't exist in my football threads.... when people say.... " ohh man he is in a groove, on fire!!" That is the same thing as saying he has individual momentum. A team that gets hot is more likely to do worse than better. The evidence supporting momentum simply is not there.
