Having been around here in a while. Just started up on BlueSky:

@zombie_jacki Nice. The double-cut Ibanez is my favorite.

@zechariah1680 I'm still waiting for eight. BTW, Beltre is 6th in bWAR7 (A-Rod considered an SS by bbref), so the prime Longo, Zimmerman, and Wright arguments don't fly. You're really reaching. I believe there are 16 3Bs in the HOF. You can surely find eight.

One of the greatest fielders in the history of the game hit 477 HRs and 636 doubles. This guy thinks he shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame. Now that the cherry's been broken on unanimous votegetters, deserving players like Adrian Beltre should walk in without a blemish.

Ballot #32 is from Bill Ballou. He checks the boxes for his holdovers, Manny and A-Rod. Beltré is no longer unanimous. His column: https://t.co/3soMpbW1MA

Coming soon to the Tracker.

@zombie_jacki Not just at Guaranteed Rate. They frequently tailgate in Milwaukee, too. @GraceDelPizzo

RBs might not matter, but Jahmyr Gibbs probably matters.

A+ to the Packers' effort and a strong season, but take away some stupid DPIs, add semi-aggressive playcalling from SF, and tonight was a rout.

[Alex Sonty @AlexSonty]

@d0wnsideofme This was inexcusable. They're lucky to win this game, treating that final drive like a boomer would.

[Alex Sonty @AlexSonty]

@zechariah1680 Name eight 3Bs better than Beltre.

NFL on Fox has gone downhill hard from the studio to the booths.

[Alex Sonty @AlexSonty]

@zechariah1680 All-Star appearances don't prove who the best of the best are. They prove who fans and managers like the most. Your litmus test is silly. Adrian Beltre is a top-8 if not top-5 3B of all-time by bWAR, fWAR, JAWS, WAR7, HRs,RBI, Gold Gloves (since you're into popularity contests).

@RotoGut @DerekCarty His personality type is slugger

@zechariah1680 We're sorting by All-Star berths? That's a new one.

Liberals don't wanna hear this.

@kpazc1 If you think the Hall is stupid, fine, but it matters to a lot of people. Like, I think college sports, MMA, and Taylor Swift are stupid, but my thoughts don't make them matter any less to a lot of people.

[Alex Sonty @AlexSonty]

@kpazc1 I don't really see how Bonds not being in should make people not voting for Beltre a non-issue. The honor still exists and this was a slow-pitched way for writers to collectively get something right and this exacerbates the point that the association needs an audit.

@justinjarrett Polarizing more than spited.

@SwingandaMish You got that white.
