That might be true, however: the Marlins have 1) Don Mattingly, who is literally allergic to World Series rings and 2) Barry Bonds, who was cursed with incredible baseball skill in exchange for never receiving a ring
In addition, it's literally an even year.

I never said the Marlins will get a WS ring(though it'd be awesome). Just beat the Giants. That's all. This is the second team Don has coach and first time Barry is a hitting coach. Marlins are a weird team, I'm optimistic.
>>68969095
It's not publicly known whether Bonds received a 2010 ring (it was rumored), and I don't think he got one in 2012, but he definitely did get one in 2014 as a spring training advisor.

Why don't pitchers intentionally throw a fastball over the catcher so that it ricochets off the backstop right back to catcher? It could get so many noobs at third base to run into an out.

>trying to stop

>>68977804
Lol, no. Just for reasons
I know I've posted this stuff quite a bit, but I just think it's interesting (autism).
Ever since the BBWAA started their crusade against everyone they "suspected" or knew of using roids save a sacred few "clean", I've toyed with the idea of a live-ball HOF; I figure part of their logic is also comparing the roid-era players solely to players from before the live-ball era, which is fucking absurd.
So I came up with the "live-ball Hall" idea. Only a few rules:
>careers must have STARTED in or after 1920, when the live-ball was implemented (sorry, Babe)
>top 10 in career JAWS at their position are automatically in
>top 10 in career WAR are also automatics, even if they're not top 10 in JAWS
>above rules apply for the top 25 starting pitchers and 5 relief pitchers on each leaders list
>players who are real HOFers but not on the lists are still HOFers
>banned players (basically Pete Rose) are not considered
>"steroid"/stimulant/drug use is not taken into consideration unless they led to the player(s) being banned
I realize this isn't perfect, but neither is the BBWAA's method. There may be players who don't deserve to be within a mile of Cooperstown, or some surprising omissions from the real thing. Feel free to deb8.
For example, here's the list for starting pitchers who would, in theory, make the Hall:
>Live-Ball HOF Starting Pitchers
Roger Clemens
Tom Seaver
Lefty Grove
Randy Johnson
Greg Maddux
Warren Spahn
Bob Gibson
Phil Niekro
Bert Blyleven
Steve Carlton
Gaylord Perry
Pedro Martinez
Robin Roberts
Fergie Jenkins
Curt Schilling
Mike Mussina
Tom Glavine
Nolan Ryan
Jim Palmer
Wes Ferrell
Bob Feller
Hal Newhouser
Roy Halladay
Juan Marichal
Carl Hubbell
Ted Lyons
Red Ruffing
Rick Reuschel
John Smoltz
Kevin Brown
Remember, I used the top 25 starting pitchers by JAWS, then compared it with the top 25 SP by career WAR list, and added any from the latter but not the former.
I'll post the lists for other positions as well.

>>68978014
and that's including the old-timers (who aren't included in my theoretical HOF), who had an easier time racking up stats because the elite ones tended to play for so goddamn long.
Now, relief pitchers.
>Relief Pitchers
Dennis Eckersley
Mariano Rivera
Hoyt Wilhelm
Rich Gossage
Bobby Shantz
Tom Gordon
Trevor Hoffman
Bruce Sutter
Rollie Fingers
You'll notice this one's a bit wonky, because there are about 6 and only 6 deserving relief pitchers. Had to include the last two even though they're way behind the others because HOFers, and Tom Gordon because I believe he got shafted–he was solid as a starter, reliever and closer.
>>68978189

Mickey Cochrane
Joe Mauer

Simmons is the only non-active, non-HOFer, and of course Mauer's still playing. Hartnett was in the top 10 for WAR, so he's in as well.
Now here's where it really gets fun.

Jim Thome
Miguel Cabrera
Rafael Palmeiro

Yes, Palmeiro's pretty much exiled, but he wasn't banned, from baseball. But he's 10th in JAWS, so he's on the list.
And the 2Bs.

>>68978408
like I said in the OP, there could be some surprises numberswise in comparing guys from different eras.
>>68978486
Because Mo's #2 behind Eck as the best reliever ever, and I say that because Eck was more versatile as a relief guy. I included active and in-between (on HOF ballot or waiting the 5 years) players because... well, if I didn't, some positions would get thin real fast.

The 2010 Rangers werent a world series caliber team in 2010 they built a team that could beat the Yankees after coming off the 2009 win, we totally expected to play them in the ALDS and then that was it no one really expected them to go to a world series. The Rangers fought hard against the Rays in the ALDS who at that time were a legitimate deep playoff run team. Remember the Rangers were fresh off bankruptcy and being owned by the league.
If the Rangers played SF now they would take the series 4-2

I'm predicting that the next HOF class will be Bags, I-Rod, Raines, and Hoffman, like it or not; you don't get 67% without waiting much longer to get in. Outside shots are Schilling and Vlad Guerrero, perhaps Clemens and/or Bonds if the writers get their heads out of their asses.

Just try to keep in mind that the majority of the players on these lists are already in the Hall of Fame; my point was to highlight the guys who are under- or over-rated in my view, and to show who the real cream of the most recent crop are.

>>68979035
>15 years
considering Red Sox stars always seem to have a seven-year itch, I honestly could not tell you. Honestly, I hope Tim Wakefield gets in (this will be his first ballot), but I know he doesn't have a shot in hell.
>>68979035
Griffey is going in this year.
Ichiro will probably be retired after 2017 so about 7-8 years and he's in.
Felix probably won't last another 10 years so I think he'll get in on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year.
Edgar has 3 years left and likely won't be elected (reeee)
Cano will be going in as a Yankee I think
>>68979264
Bay Area
>>68978829
Yet the Rangers completely embarrassed the defending world series champions. Made that team of overpaid faggots look like a little league team
>>68979328
so why dont you like either team?
If you're in the easy bay, go with the A's, or if you want to go with the giants do that
or do what I do and support both, since theyre in alternate leagues

>Dubsland Indians
nice rolls
Omar is 41st in JAWS and 30th in WAR, so the numbers wouldn't support him. He's a guy I like and wish, too, will get in, but I doubt he'll make it.
Lofton is really underrated as both a fielder and baserunner, and I don't know why he and Jim Edmonds both slipped through the cracks just like that, considering they're two of the top 5 CFs of the 90s/00s.
>>68979285
like Raines, Edgar has the mystical Vets Committee to possibly shoehorn him in. It's a possibility.
>>68979410
not even joking, I like both teams. But I wouldnt wear that shitty hat

>>68979454
Lofton got fucked over because there was a lot eligible players still left and not enough votes to go around. The whole process was shit and unfortunately I don't see the Veterans Committee fixing that mistake later.

>>68979674
If Manny somehow gets in I think he said he'd wear an Indians hat, as silly as it might seem.
so i watched the phenom today and it was a really weird movie, ethan hawk, and giamatti were excellent as you would expect. It had a lot less to do with actual baseball situations than you would expect, its really focused on characters and authentic conversations and events. It has hints of themes from whiplash although very minimal. As a baseball movie you probably wont enjoy it but its worth watching in my opinion. Overall i enjoyed it but the ending felt unsatisfying and "scattered", didnt really get any cathartic payoff or anything but i guess that would be pretty stereotypical and cheesy which this movie avoids pretty much entirely.
overall solid 7/10

well, he's been in two killer 3-4 combos in his career, either one would be cool with me. The Sox already have Dewey as a #24, but his isn't retired because club policy is 10 years with the team plus HOF, and would kinda seem wrong to me. just me rambling though, I say he deserves election, but they roiding and the way his career ended will bite him in the ass, big-time, when election time rolls round.

>>68979911
I don't agree completely with everything he said but I can see why Lofton was bitter about getting kicked off the ballot so soon. Disagree if you will whether he was HoF-worthy but he certainly warranted better than 3.2% of the vote.
>>68979954
Oh yeah, I wasn't making the argument for Manny to go in as Indian. I forgot where I read it though, and the reason he said it at the time probably had more to do with how things ended in Boston than anything.
>>68980316
Posey is not good.
>>68980361
In a non bait world, he objectively is
>>68980360
I was mostly reacting to his "since I didn't make the HoF my career means nothing" spiel. Really shitty attitude.
>>68980360
Manny did have the most gorgeous swing in baseball after Junior and possibly A-Rod. Watching him slam a 3-run HR off K-Rod at Fenway to win the 2004 ALDS was almost transcendent for me as a Sox fan.
>>68980537
Only competition Griffey had for best swing was Bonds desu

Nagy and I guess Jaret Wright (who almost was traded with Colon for Pedro Martinez after '97 in one of those great what-if scenarios).
>>68980512
Well, it was soon after the vote so that was when he was the most bitter about it. Lofton visits during spring training and came back last year for the '95 reunion so I think he appreciates what he accomplished. Just wanted more recognition for it though.
>>68980537

As a Giants fan, who cares. Having him on the team was bittersweet near the end. It was hard to enjoy for me at least and was like a circus sideshow. Yeah, he was great and I loved watching him play and how assmad he made everyone, but it's ogre and I don't miss it that much to be honest. I wish I was born 5-10 years earlier and could've watched pre-rounds Bonds though. That would've been lit af famm

I can't fucking wait for the cubs to finally win the WS in like 40 years or some shit and for them to have the audacity to invite bartman back to apologize to him like the red sox did with buckner. Bartman denying them would be hilarious
>Because there were no replay boards or JumboTrons in Wrigley Field at the time, no one in the crowd knew of Bartman until audience members' friends and family members who were watching the game on TV started calling them on cell phones, informing them of Bartman and his appearance. Many Cub fans began pointing toward Bartman, repeatedly chanting "asshole". Bartman had to be led away from the park under security escort for his own safety as many Cubs fans shouted insults toward him and others threw debris at Bartman, with one fan even dumping a cup of beer on him. Security escorted Bartman and two people who accompanied him to the game toward the exit tunnel from the field. News footage of the game showed him surrounded by security as passersby pelted him with drinks and other debris. As many as six police cars gathered outside his home to protect Bartman and his family following the incident.[11] Afterwards, then-Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich suggested that Bartman join a witness protection program

Are the Marlins the best troll team in recent MLB history for memeing two powerhouses of WS wins, or just a POS franchise that got lucky on fuckups by the rest of the league >twice?
>>69008553
He's already had TJS, it's obvious he already has sone serious flaws
>>69008749
I'm gonna go with the latter
The 2001 Dbacks are the all time best troll team for stealing New York's 9/11 storybook worlds eries win
>>69009171
there have been so many storybook endings killed in the past 20 years, it's kind of ridiculous
>'97 Marlins extend Indians' WS-less streak with Edgar Renteria walk-off single
>'98 NL MVP goes to HR race loser Sosa for "leading the Cubs to the playoffs" instead of Big Mac
>'01 D-Backs kill the 9/11 redemption win
>Grady Little keeps Pedro in '03 ALCS Game 7
>Aaron Boone
>'03 Marlins do the same to the "9/11 Redemption Loss/Aaron Boone" Yankees
>'02 Angels kill Barry Bonds's one shot at a ring
>'04 Red Sox reverse sweep the ALCS in 7 after being six outs away from being swept and kill their curse on a Renteria groundout
>Unstoppable White Sox do the same in '05 and kill the 'Stros' (so far) best shot at a WS title
>Sox choke away huge division lead in the second half of '08 and are eliminated from a WS repeat by a line-drive HR that clears the wall by about 2 feet
>Rangers lose back-to-back WS
>Giants somehow meme their way into 3 even-year WS wins in a row
>last year's WC games
oh man. the list just goes on and on
>yfw Edgar Renteria has been the last batter in 2 World Series as both a winner and a loser
