@podoffame@notgaetti What? Sure, they have the same OPS+, but Votto played longer, had a higher peak, was a much better fielder, played a different position and had 10+ more WAR.
@Luvs40hcups@EKlambara@KyleLoney1 Um, 297 BBWAA voters said Scott Rolen belongs in the HoF, Mattingly never got half that many votes. Rolen was at worst the 15th best 3B ever; Mattingly was at best the 30th best 1B ever. Rolen had a better peak and played longer.
@TheStalwart I discussed this very thing with a barista here in London as she prepared one for me, she laughed and said “It basically means you’re a weak Italian.”
