    I think I can speak for everyone. YES.
  2. Emmz
    Just take your pick of Browns fans.

    Well, if that's what you mean, then it's hard to make an argument against Fenway, or Old Yankee Stadium, or Wrigley. However, I thought this was just about what the nicest physically was. If not, yeah, I'll say Fenway's tough to beat. Can't say I've been there, though.
  4. Emmz
    Yup. Imagine if he pitched in the NL? Bert probably had an ERA much lower. I simply don't see how he's not in HOF. I think everyone here agrees on that too.
  5. Emmz
    So, let's get this straight. Tons of guys who are in, and are comparable to Blyleven, and Blyleven may actually have an edge on some of these guys, but Blyleven gets snubbed? He really, really needs to get in.
  6. Emmz
    But it's opinion backed with stats and comparisons. Blyleven and Carlton, while Carlton is often considered to be among the greatest ever, are two very comparable players. Similar WL records, similar ERA's, similar WHIP, similar IP, similar K's. It's pretty simple. You put Bert in the HOF.
  7. Emmz
    His batting stance alone should get him in.
  8. Emmz
    Just ridiculous.
  9. Emmz
    One of the best points you could make. And Blyleven had 3,700 K's.
  10. Emmz
    I'd suspect that the ones who didn't vote for him are guys who think the 300-game winners should automatically win it. He's 13 shy of that, and you've yet to use statistics to back your claim as to why he shouldn't be in the hall. 22 years, 3.31 ERA. Sorry, that's pretty great, especially considering that he was amongst the most notable workhorses of his day, thorugh 22 years at that.

    If anything, Bert Blyleven is better than all of the players you just mentioned. He WAS a great player. He was one of the ten best pitchers of the 1970's probably. A run of about 8 years of not having an ERA above 3? How is that not great? Help me to understand that. Everyone seems to disagree with you.

    ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL. He said Cano and Pedroia are even, and that Swisher and Drew are even LOL! And I'm pretty sure our rotation and bullpen is superior to theirs too. WOW! What a bunch of homers!
  13. Emmz
    Boof Bonser sucks ass. Now anyways. Even? LOL, it's not even close. Lester and CC are close, but Beckett and Lackey OWN Burnett and Pettite. Dice-K is probably going to give you a better year than Vasquez too even, if not, I'll admit it's pretty close. Buchholz is better than Joba and Hughes too. Seriously, it's not even close. The Red Sox's rotation>>>>>>>>>Yankees'. Jacko seems to think Vasquez is going to be a number two or something. Absolutely ridiculous.

    I'm sorry, but using all-star games isn't the right way to make the argument, nor is MVP or Cy Young votes. Those are just what it's said, votes. Hank Aaron built his legacy on consistent greatness, and if you can't see that Bert Blyleven did as well, then I guess we just don't see things the same way. 3.3 ERA over 22 seasons? That's pretty impressive in my book, no matter how you want to spin it with his lack of All Star Games or Cy Young awards. Didn't Hank Aaron make the All Star Game when he was 41, and hit a grand total of 12 homers and had .687 OPS?
  15. Emmz
    Koufax had a mean curve, from what I heard, and Nolan Ryan is said to have had a really nice curve too, but everyone always says that Bert may very well have had one in the same league. What's ironic, though, is that it was also his worst pitch. He would hang it up in the zone sometimes, and he game up a shitload of homers. But last I checked, didn't Cy Young have the most losses recorded? Doesn't Brett Favre have the most interceptions? That shouldn't go against him. He's still one of the best pitchers of the 70's and 80's.
  16. Emmz
    Yeah, young man.
  17. Emmz
    Hey, you hear that Jacko? Yankee homers! You'll feel right at home!

    Look at Hank Aaron, he was never at any point, really, the best player in baseball, except for maybe early in his career. He never hit 50 home runs, and only hit 45 or more twice. He just consistently hit about 35 or 40 through the majority of career. It's staying power. Bert Blyleven built his career similarly.
  20. Emmz
    Me being a Twins fan, it's pretty sad to see someone like Blyleven miss the cut every season. It was a lot like when Jim Rice kept on getting snubbed.
  21. Emmz
    Bert Blyleven was an elite pitcher for many years, how he isn't in the hall of fame is beyond me. He's every bit the pitcher Phil Niekro was. 3,700 K's and near-300 wins. If he has the 300, he's be in easily, and long ago. Look at his run from 1970-1978. His highest ERA was in his rookie year, '70, at 3.18 in that span. From 71-77 he had a run of no ERA's over 3. That's pretty impressive. How he's not in the HOF already is a travesty. They're snubbing one of the best pitchers of the 70's and 80's.
  22. Emmz
    Hey guys, chill out. Jacko's not trolling. It's just Jacko being Jacko.
  23. Emmz
    They said permanently, and also, they said we should stop bringing it up.
  24. Emmz
    Lmfao.
  25. Emmz
    Last I checked, Gardner was good at running. Last I checked, Scutaro had near .800 OPS. Sweet argument.
