    Curt Shilling deserves respect

    Guy has had enough of the PC bs

    Asks the HOF to put him in this year or take him off the ballot going forward!

    Guy deserves to be in. Great WAR, Numerous post season accolades and a GAMER!

    LOL that's funny actually

    But honestly, being kept out over tweets regarding politics is disturbing. It's not a measure of his character or on field accomplishments or anything other than a personal affront to media persons who are biased and petty in their voting therefore.

    I keep one eye on this HOF stuff. I think he's the HIGHEST-war non-HOFer who is
    a) Not tainted by gambling or steroids, and
    b) Currently eligible for HOF.

    Funny thing, I think he's the ONE guy who actually has a WAR > 2x Baines. Really, had a hell of a career. Made WS w/ 3 teams, won w/ two of em. Used to be thought of as primarily a post-season guy (11-2), but his regular season stats were more than good enuf.

    Writers have demonstrated a very poor ability to identify greatness. It's happened over and over again.

    *Kenny Lofton and Jim Edmonds didn't even garner enough votes to stay on the ballot. And they were both worthy of being in the discussion.

    *Ted Simmons had Catcher stats that were in top 3 all-time in most hitting categories. But writers didn't bother to look at him.

    If schill gets in then the bar for pitchers will be at an all time low. This would be like putting julian edelman in the hall of fame. Or Robert Horry. Cant get carried away by postseason achievements.

    Schilling should be in for sure. The voters are arrogant, the old timers are stubborn and he’s being punished for:

    1. Being a bad business guy off the field.
    2. Not shutting up.
    3. His era.

    He will get in and so will the rest. Will be a shame if Pete Rose doesn’t get in before he croaks.

    The boy could play. Can't look at political beliefs when it comes to sports for achievements. He went out on the field and he delivered bottom line!!

    Dude could pitch his asss off in the crunch. He was a warrior also with his ankle injury stuff.. Watch this vid below and learn..

    I agree. Social media and a vicious news cycle would have buried all the old timers too. Jordan? LOL

    Any MLB pitcher w 200+ wins AND a .600 win percentage deserves to get in.

    This is not watered down stuff here.

    60% win percentage
    4xs top 5 CY YOUNG
    3xs WS

    Plenty of black ink and leader categories

    Highest WAR of any player not in Hall

    HOF is a disgrace to the ordinary Joe’s that played the game! The voting system is incompetent and has vindictive / get even integrity.

    Holier than thou types that never played the game do the voting. What a COS!

    3,116 Strikeouts and 79.9 WAR leading his resume---undeniably earned a spot in Cooperstown.

    Political leanings and poor behavior only matter in our cancel culture, not on the diamond.

    He’ll get in by veterans committee at some point. Even if he was on ballot year 10 he won’t get in that way.

    Just needs to shut his mouth for a couple of years.

    Let's be honest. Schilling cost himself the HOF by being a big-mouth.

    I've seen multiple writers say that Curt offends them. And therefore, they don't vote him in.

    Who cares? He's free of gambling/steroid taint. He's in a ton of all-time big-time hi-lite reels.

    Vote him in! Funny thing, who is the next guy to go in? It's like the voters are blocking EVERYONE.

    They don't like Schilling or McGw/Clem/Bonds. That leaves them w/ the likes of Vizquel and Scott Rolen.

    This is kinda like Trump derangement syndrome, people think he's a meany and don't like what he says. He hurt my feelings. There for he's the worst President ever even though he did a good job! Hitler they called him, banned him from Social media and are still trying to impeach and punish him even after he's gone.

    They are doing the same now with Curt and with this HOF stunt. We don't like what he says so he CAN NEVER make the HOF even though his numbers and play on the field say different.

    It's crazy!!

    New liberal rules in sports are - if you are a registered Republican and outspoken you no longer qualify for HOF status. TRUTH!! Political beliefs are more important then your play on the field now.

    The story of baseball can be told without Schilling. His numbers say he should probably be in but not a shoe-in, hes a borderline candidate. And unfortunately his mouth has kept him out so far but thats life.

    Schilling's comments are no more offensive to as many people (although to an entirely different group), as say Robert De Niro. That they are both outrageous partisan bomb-throwers who enjoy trolling the opposing side publicly. People who think De Niro is some kind of a villain for his remarks - and there's plenty out there who do - have no business using that against De Niro in an Oscar competition or a ranking of great actors. That's exactly what's going on with Schilling.

    It's far more disgusting that people can't stick to the job at hand - identifying great ballplayers so they can be honored as ballplayers - than it would be for people who are good at their jobs, but not "nice" people, to be honored for excellence in the workplace. If some can't separate their emotions from their role as voters, they should hand over their ballots and remove themselves from the process.

    Schilling has the credentials to waltz into the Hall of Fame
