  • Predictions!

    I got Astros in 6.
    Nice. I am definitely feeling more confident after seeing this. 


    hahaha...only kidding, tempo !
    I was starting to doubt the Astros after the first 2 games but then they came around.

    I also shit on the Phillies earlier in the year.  They really came around.

    This was an entertaining WS.  Not the best but it was good.  I believe it got better ratings than the other sports.

    Yeah, it was a great series. Phillies are going to make some noise in the offseason, I bet.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Absurd

    TLR father of four hour games and pulling effective pitchers mid inning. Thanks for the pitch clock Tony!
  • Bonds Clemens, Murphy should make it no problem.

    McGriff and Schilling are on the cusp.

    Palmiero I don't think gets in for a bit because he got popped and lied to congress.

    People cry for Keith Hernandez?  Dude was pretty damn good but not HOF good.

    Hernandez is not in that group.
    Are you mistaking Mattingly (Yankee) for Hernandez (Met)?
    This weekend we rock Portland
  • Schilling should totally be in. If it was based on regular season only, he'd be borderline. But he's one of the best (if not the best) postseason pitchers of the past 30 years. Check out his postseason W/L record and ERA compared to other hall of fame starting pitchers from that era. Only Smoltz comes close....

    Curt Schilling: 11-2 with a 2.23 ERA
    John Smoltz: 15-4 with a 2.67 ERA
    Greg Maddux: 11-13 with a 3.27 ERA
    Tom Glavine: 14-16 with a 3.30 ERA
    Randy Johnson: 7-9 with a 3.50 ERA
    Jack Morris: 7-4 with a 3.80 ERA
    Mike Mussina: 7-8 with a 3.42 ERA
    Pedro Martinez: 6-4 with a 3.46 ERA

    No shit he's not in that group which is why I brought him up and no baseball fan would ever mistake Mattingly for Keith, lol!

    I always read about Hernandez fans chirping about how he gets snubbed from the HOF conversation whenever Mattingly gets mentioned.

    Just wanted to chime in that he isn't good enough to be in the Hall either and neither is Mattingly.

    Yeah he was great in the postseason. I was only listing hall of famers though. Another guy not listed but who I think will make the hall of fame is Madison Bumgarner. 8-3 (Really you can call him 9-3 since he pitched like 5 innings in that game 7 to earn the save) with a 2.11 ERA.

    Not every good to great player is going to play in the playoffs or even have played a ton of games in the playoffs. So I think the regular season should count more.

    I disagree. Now if you’re great in the regular season and don’t have any postseason success (Frank Thomas for example), that shouldn’t be held against you. But postseason success should be weighed heavily for players that have it, and should put them over the top if they’re borderline based only on regular season like someone like Schilling.

    Keith led a team and won a WS though.  Had a much better WAR and both are 300 AB's apart.

    I know, I was just pointing out someone who was clutch in the playoffs too.

    Madison is a great in that department too.

    I think Doc, Daryl, Darling ,Knight, Mookie, Sid, Ojeda, and Carter also had something to do with it also. Keith also played 303 more games and had 831 more Plate Appearances. Both retired young but Mattingly was still a good player with his bad back. Keith couldn't hit by the end.

    So if basically are an average player but happen to play for the Yankees for example and are constantly in the playoffs they should be a Hall of Famer?

    Nope. I said if you’re a borderline HOFer based on your regular seasons, and you’re great in the postseason, that should get you in.

    Keith led a team and won a WS though.  Had a much better WAR and both are 300 AB's apart.
    I think Doc, Daryl, Darling ,Knight, Mookie, Sid, Ojeda, and Carter also had something to do with it also. Keith also played 303 more games and had 831 more Plate Appearances. Both retired young but Mattingly was still a good player with his bad back. Keith couldn't hit by the end.
    There's only 300 AB's apart from them though.  Hernandez has twice as many walks.  Keith also won gold gloves at the end of his career as did Matingly.

    For flash I go w Donnie Baseball as he put a string of a few years very nicely.  Career I like Keith.

    Knight, Mookie and Sid had very, very brief flashes of goodness.  They weren't very good in their good seasons...  Dykstra and Backman were better than Mookie.  

    Not going to argue about Carter.  He was good, so was Daryl.

    Didn't Mattingly have Winfield and Henderson?

    Thinking back to that 86 season Yanks have 3 HOF?  Mets only 1?  I think Carter is the only HOFer from the Mets.
