If you dominate the game for a decade, you

should be in the HOF in my opinion.

#Braves Dale Murphy's MLB/NL ranks for decade of 1980s:

1st - 2,796 Total Bases
2nd - 308 HR (2nd NL)
2nd - 929 RBI (tied 1st NL)
3rd - 133 IBB (2nd NL)
4th - 938 R (1st NL)
4th - 1,553 H (1st NL)
5th - 784 BB (2nd NL)

MLB Contemporary HOF Committee elects Fred McGriff to the Hall of Fame. Nobody else.

Dang, was hoping we'd get two more Braves in today, not just one.

But Advanced Stats, which show that Mike Trout literally walks on water, say no

This, but unironically.

Make an argument based on his old stats that aren't an arbitrary time period then.

You mean make an argument that fits your criteria, which you don’t disclose

2000 hits and 400 homers .265/.346./.469. 46 WAR. Really good career. Not HOF. I’m sorry you see it differently than

I can respect that you disagree that he should be in. It is hard for many of his

The standard shouldn’t be “better than the worst HOFers.” I agree there are people worse than him in the hall.

I get it. I’m saying it’s a hard pill to swallow.

I get it. If the committee that voted on Kenny lofton keeps him out we riot.

Then use averages and not a time frame that gives him hundreds of extra games

Dale didn’t have 5 seasons like Koufax. If you think Koufax should be out, go for it.

I don’t think Koufax should be out. He was

I'm surprised at the Schilling decision. I thought the committee would put him in for sure. The Crimedog may get the

The writer’s ballot is so barren right now after years of having too many options.

TCuz

Not sure why you’re so high on Schilling. 216 wins and career 3.46 ERA

Thank you for using wins and ERA in this post. The worst numbers was the cherry on top. Have a good evening.

shimmy

Uh they are the 2nd worst career numbers of any in the hall.

Well deserved for McGriff. I cannot believe the baseball writers did not

They randomly cut the vote process from 15 down to 10 years, and he was constantly on loaded ballots
