Will Nick’s speech be more than “yeah”?

You can always speculate that if he'd done more hard-core workouts and training in the offseason and less hunting and fishing that he'd have done better. My own take is that injuries sapped him of the

Yeah, definitely. 

My memory of Nick is that his pet phrase was “you know,” inserted once or twice per sentence.  “Yeah, I was, you know, looking for a good pitch, you know, to hit there.”

Tiger Woods is both the GOAT and an underachiever. He should have 25+ majors and 100+ wins. 

You can be really good and still fall short of what you should be.

Nick should have competed for batting titles.  His OBP should have been more 380+ OBP guy vs 350+.  He loved the game but didn’t seem to eat, breath and sleep it.  Nothing wrong with that. Just think had he had that attitude, he would have been even better.

True desire for anything is something you are born with, or not.

Glenn has a better chance of getting in than Chris.

Roch doesn’t think so.

“Chris Davis and Matt Wieters should be the next inductees in the club’s HOF. They must have received serious consideration this year.”

Obviously the big Davis contract was a disaster, but he does hold the single-season Oriole record for homers and is 6th on their all-time homers list.  He finished 3rd in the MVP voting that one year.   So, it wouldn’t be egregious if he got in.   I don’t know that it will happen that quickly, however.  Wieters is a lot less controversial than Davis.

I don't know... Wieters was supposed to be a better version of Johnny Bench, but instead became the switch-hitting Gus Triandos. If we're going by @Sports Guy's shoulda rules I don't know if he gets in.

Jones isn't in it yet, right?

Jones should be in before either of those two.

Frankly, he probably should have been in before Markakis.

When the player retired is a factor.   It’s not purely an issue of merit.

I feel like if Davis got in there would a slight chance he’d get booed at the induction ceremony. 

There’s a 100% chance some people would boo him.  Others would take the high road.  But it’s a reason why he may not be inducted that quickly.

There was a stretch where CD homered in 8 or 9 straight games I attended, including spring training and road games. No boos here!

Seems like you have to have been retired for 3 years, which Jones should qualify for.

Maybe they're holding off for a reason.

      Corbin Burnes 2024

      By skanar · Posted

      Baseball Reference adjusts for quality of offenses faced, park factor, and team defense. Orioles team dWAR is 1.0; White Sox is -4.7. First guess is Fedde is getting a lot of credit for achieving the same run prevention in front of inferior fielders. Burnes has faced KCx2, Was, Mil, Tam, Sea, Torx2, Bosx2, Oak, Chw, NYY, LA. Fedde has faced KCx2, Was, Mil, Tam, Sea, Tor, Bal, Min, CLEx2, Ari, STL, and Det. Doesn't seem like a huge difference there. So it's probably the fielding adjustment. Is the White Sox stadium especially hitter-friendly?

      Rizzo just got hurt. Bad throw by 1B caused a collision at 1B. Rizzo while safe bumped into P and fell on ground.    He was grabbing his wrist/hand. Left game.    Red Sox are also in process of blowing the lead.

      I’ll agree and disagree. It’s not so important with this number of games left to juggle pitchers around since you are still playing the long game.     Bye teams going 3-5 in the DS have shown it’s not an impossible hill to climb. That said I think both teams still value winning the division.

      I totally agree. Some are still stuck in the mindset that we're a bad team.

      Draft Targets 2 Months Out

      Keith Law has him going late 1st round and doesn’t sound like a fan.   26. New York Yankees: Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee Moore has probably performed his way into the first round, even though the underlying tools and instincts don’t support it. He’s hit 23 homers and has a .380/.446/.774 line (through Monday) as part of the Vols’ loaded lineup, where five hitters already have 15 or more homers. I could also see them on Ryan Waldschmidt or Jordan. Baseball America’s most recent mock had him going 19.  Some reservations about his defense. 19. Mets — Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee Moore’s offensive consistency in his three years with Tennessee is impressive. He’s posted a 1.000 OPS or better in each season, has hit over .300 in each season and has managed double-digit homers in each season—with a career-best 28 homers in 2024. He did that while cutting his strikeout rate from 24-25% to 14.5%. There are real questions with how much he’ll be able to pick it at second base. Still, he has one of the more proven bats in the class and is getting tons of top-20 buzz.
