I agree. Snuffing out Orioles Magic is a capital offense.

I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I wonder if Helton will get in eventually

more immediately, I would rather have an empty class than Schilling getting in

I know getting upset about beloved players being traded for some magic beans is really small potatoes compared to the poo poo rear end year I was already having (I don’t wanna go into details, but a lot happened personally outside of nation-wide bullshittery), but drat this hurts.

the 2021 ceremony wont be empty even if no one gets in on this ballot, Jeter and Walker have their day in the sun thanks to covid postponing this year's events

next year's ballot will include Arod and Ortiz in their first year with Bonds/Clemens in their final year, for the ultimate in needle-threading cognitive dissonance

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

Given that HOF voting season seems to be mostly about BBWAA grandstanding... how many voters haven't voted for him yet?

Oct 28, 2009

I don't think there is a lot of year to year turnover in who is voting for Bonds/Clemens. Most voters who have ever voted for them are also voting for them now. Most voters who aren't voting for them this year have never voted for them in the past. The tracker nails this down pretty well.

The formula is diving catches + .1* stolen bases + hit by pitches + 2* days suspended for fighting. Notice how Bryce Harper's GRIT+ went way down in his contract year.

Curt Schilling is a gigantic piece of poo poo so if he gets in, then yeah, definitely gently caress the BBWAA. Just burn the Hall down and start over.

Looking forward to a great 2021, where my Rays are coming off a magical run to a pennant and will certainly build on that with the right roster moves to take it all the way next year.

Bingo. All putting him in now will accomplish is giving him a bigger platform to go on unhinged rants about his vile politics.

Also Happy New Year baseball goons.
