2015 Hall of Fame Inductees

Recommended Posts

Largest class in sixty years, big change from only have three total for the last two years.

 

Randy Johnson (97.3%)

Pedro Martinez (91.1%)

John Smotlz (82.9%)

Craig Biggio (82.7%)

 

Glad to see this as all four clearly deserve it.  Biggio should have been in two years ago.

 

Mike Piazza was the closest to miss at 69.9% followed by Jeff Bagwell (55.7) and Tim Raines (55.0).

 

Curt Schilling (39.2), Roger Clemens (37.5), and Barry Bonds (36.8) remained in the conversation but also have a ways to go.

 

On a side note, I think it is crazy that Clemens is higher than Bonds.  If a voter wants to vote for neither then that is their prerogative but there is absolutely no justification for voting for one and not the other.

I was so happy that Biggio got on.

 

I think Schilling should get in if Pedro did.

 

I'm surprised at Piazza and Bagwell getting votes, I guess nothing was proven but most people are pretty sure those guys juiced.  May be hard to ignore Piazza's offensive production from that position though.

 

Tim Raines was the man.

 

Clemens and Bonds shouldn't get any votes as long as Rose can't be put in.

I agree with Piazza and Bagwell.  Not sure how someone votes for them and not Bonds/Clemens.

 

I disagree on the Rose point though.  Rose broke a rule where it is well known that you are banned from baseball forever, Bonds and Clemens did no such thing.  It was not even penalized at all at the time and even now that it is the person is not banned forever, simply sent away for fifty games.

 

I still think Rose should be in there but their situations are different.

    • If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway. 
    • You mean tepper but yeah I agree about rhule   Baker is a top 3 potential qb that is play for mvp and he is doing it with a slew of injuries
    • There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
