[No Fun Shogun]

They have to acquire talent though, and that'll cost money.

LOL

METS

Mets pull a Mets!

Diaz with a disastrous bot of 8th

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Wow

Lindor 2 run HR in top of 9th

Braves pull a Mets

 

[IU Hawks fan]

Game of the year

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Mets clinch WC spot

Game 2 implications

Braves win = Braves in playoffs
Braves loss = D-Backs in playoffs

 

[clydesdale line]

Mets had no business being in the playoffs. What a comeback for them in this race.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Lindor carried Mets to playoffs

Has case for NL MVP

Wow. Now Pete Rose.

HOF without Rose and Bonds is Mickey mouse. RIP

If Shoeless Joe isn't in then neither of them should be in

Kind of off topic but why is Ron Santo in the hall?

 

[No Fun Shogun]

He was basically the first or second best third baseman of the 70's. Santo deserved a spot.

I’ll take your word for it (old man) but his numbers are extremely underwhelming for a 3B man hall of famer.

 

[Crow]

Going down a rabbit hole here I think he deserves it much more than a lot of players. Harold Baines is one of them.

 

[HeisenBaez]

I’ll take your word for it (old man) but his numbers are extremely underwhelming for a 3B man hall of famer.

If that is the case then Brooks Robinson had an underwhelming career. Yeah, Brooks had a higher WAR than Santo but he also played 7 more years than Santo. Both guys are HOFers and don't look at their numbers through today's eyes. Much different offensive atmosphere during that time than it is today.

 

[TLEH]

The eras change so much its really hard for me to get upset about borderline or guys even undeserving being in. Idk. I do know that Rose and Bonds are two of the absolute best players of all time. They're not in. I guarantee you someone in the HOF has done something worse than Bonds and Rose.

Whether people have done worse on a societal level doesn’t matter. Players/managers gambling on their sport is the worst thing they could possibly do within the confines of the sport. If a player kills someone, the sport goes on. If players/managers are gambling on the outcome of their own games, the sport is done and would be viewed as having the legitimacy of professional wrestling.

Yeah it's a complete disregard for everything sports are about. RIP to one of the best hitters of all time but his exclusion is well earned
