@CodifyBaseball @notgaetti @baseball_ref @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest Carlos Delgado was a much better player and hitter and he couldn’t even get to a second year of eligibility (which was a joke). Schwarber has had a nice Phillies career but at this point the overall body of work is definitely not HOF material.

@notgaetti @baseball_ref @theaceofspaeder @TheWARmonger_ @JessicaDBrand @JackFritzWIP @PhillyFrontO @2008Philz @extrastats @BigLeagueDigest Will Kyle Schwarber make it to the Hall of Fame?

Kyle Schwarber's HOF case is unique and fascinating. We never really got to test the automatic nature of 500 non-PED homers opening the doors to Cooperstown for an otherwise one-dimensional player because Dave Kingman and Adam Dunn both fell short. But it's looking more and more like Schwarber won't. Now, while some of You People™ regularly mention Schwarber and Kingman in the same breath, I think most folks with multiple brain cells can agree that Dunn and Schwarber are vastly superior hitters (not to mention more popular human beings) than Kingman. Their batting averages are all in the .230s, Kingman trails the other two by about 70 points of OPS, which is significant. I continue to think that Dunn would have been the first player to truly test the automatic nature of 500 homers. He couldn't run, he couldn't field, he couldn't hit for average, and he was constantly in record-setting strikeout territory. And yet, it would be completely unprecedented to keep someone out of Cooperstown that hit 500 homers without the benefit of steroids. Now here comes Schwarber, who has all of the same limitations as Dunn –– can't run, can't field, can't hit for average, strikes out 200 times a year –– but he feels different. He's wildly popular and a team leader in Philadelphia, and perhaps MOST importantly, he has the benefit of the Universal DH. He's still hitting bombs like it's his job (because it is) and he's the face of this generation of Phillies. His postseason slash line (.234/.361/.545, .907 OPS over 73 games) is consistent with his career production and intangibles further buoy his candidacy. I think he reaches 500 homers. And I think he gets his plaque.

@SamMaxwell85 I mean you hope for the best w the young guys coming but they’re what if’s. If I could re-sign him & keep Holmes as known commodities & surround them w the young guys, then we’ve got something going. Of course it’s all irrelevant if we keep playing fielders out of position lol.

@DN1CE23 I wouldn’t depend on avg only 5 inning pitcher with some starters coming up in the system

Why would the Mets ever extend Freddy Peralta?

@SleeperMets @MLBNerds @SleeperCubs @SleeperMLB Doesn’t matter how the season is going. The last thing the Mets should be doing is trading away pitching. Re-sign Peralta should be the first option and then you’ve got him and McLean as a nice combo moving forward.

.@MLBNerds created a mock trade that would send Freddy Peralta to the Cubs 👀 Cubs receive: SP Freddy Peralta RP Brooks Raley Mets receive: RHP Jaxon Wiggins (Cubs #1 prospect) OF Ethan Conrad (Cubs #3 prospect) INF Jonathan Long (Cubs #6 prospect) Would you do this 🤔⁉️

@welovenabers @boi_king1 @AdamSchefter @JordanRaanan Someone like Beckham as a “veteran presence” for our young guys sounds like the worst possible move in NFL history.

@boi_king1 @AdamSchefter @JordanRaanan You do realize we’re getting him to be a veteran presence for our new young receiving core and not an everyday starter right?

Giants HC John Harbaugh said he has talked to Odell Beckham Jr. three or four times over the past week about reuniting. But they will “play it out over the next month and into training camp” before making a decision. More via @JordanRaanan: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

@DanBartels2 Polanco and Minter 🙃…yikes

When many look at the Mets lineup, they forget the injuries they’re dealing with. No Francisco Lindor, A.J. Minter, Luis Robert Jr. and Jorge Polanco. Those are big pieces to their success.

@SNYtv @SteveGelbs This is a Stearns problem. He’s constructed subpar rosters in back to back seasons. It wouldn’t matter who the manager is at this point. You can’t win when your roster is built on hopes and prayers.

Carlos Mendoza shares that he spoke with David Stearns on the phone this morning when he assured him about his job security as manager "Steve [Cohen] is not happy. Alex [Cohen] is not happy. David is not happy. I am not happy. All of us are frustrated"

@BetMGM Sort of like the Yanks wasting Judge I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️. Or did I miss them winning anything with him?

Juan Soto career OPS+ by team: Yankees: 179 Mets: 161 Nationals: 159 Padres: 149 Mets are wasting a generational talent

@AlwaysSFG @YahooSports @RomeTrav Lebron got outplayed by Jason Terry off the bench in a finals. That would be like Hersey Hawkins outplaying Jordan. But yeah let’s pretend Lebron would have done better lol.

@YahooSports @RomeTrav If Bron played for Jordan’s Bulls he would’ve made like 15 finals and won 10+ rings If MJ played for Brons teams I genuinely don’t think he wins a ring in this era

"I don't think Michael Jordan could do the things LeBron has done, because they're just different players" LeBron's longtime friend @rometrav on LeBron's GOAT status 🐐 (via Yahoo Sports Daily)

@Stallard999 @carlosviel80912 @gmoneyy03 @gaetano_pr22955 @YahooSports Cool story. Missed the playoffs. Needed an entire organizational revamp the following season to win his second short season championship. Done nothing in the West since 🤷🏻‍♂️.

@DN1CE23 @carlosviel80912 @gmoneyy03 @gaetano_pr22955 @YahooSports excuse? why would there be an excuse for winning the championship lol. i mean when your starting lineup played 13 games together that year. i mean do you know anything about basketball lol

The GOAT conversation just got more interesting 😱

@Stallard999 @carlosviel80912 @gmoneyy03 @gaetano_pr22955 @YahooSports They finished a game over .500 when he played that first season which still wouldn’t make the playoffs. And they went 3-12 when he activated playoff mode lol. Also the pandemic did not make anything harder. Good excuses though.

@DN1CE23 @carlosviel80912 @gmoneyy03 @gaetano_pr22955 @YahooSports he was injured lol. the pandemic made it even harder. just stop buddy

@Ninjamaster609 @TheSaiyanNation @gaetano_pr22955 @YahooSports It would be easier to just say you have no idea what you’re talking about lol.

@TheSaiyanNation @gaetano_pr22955 @YahooSports So u mfers clowns cant start knowing what the fuck yall out there keep repeating from nba clowns on tv. Jordan wasnt shit until Scott and Grant was on the team. Bill Cartwright was the fucking man at Chicago when Jordan still had hair .

@Stallard999 @carlosviel80912 @gmoneyy03 @gaetano_pr22955 @YahooSports Except he missed the playoffs and then needed to beg for AD and have the Lakers flip the roster and coaching staff. Oh and have a pandemic shortened season too lol.

@carlosviel80912 @gmoneyy03 @gaetano_pr22955 @YahooSports except he went to the finals in the west and won??????

@LakerSurfer @YahooSports This is the goat of dumb posts lol. You should get checked for a concussion.

@YahooSports LeBron became goat of basketball in 2016. He’s currently in goat of all sports in 2026

@FOXSports @MLBONFOX The NBA one will never be broken now cause the players are too busy sitting out games lol.

Which historic regular season record can you see being broken in the near future? 🤔

@chris_johnSc @osufan6433 @barstoolsports That’s from longevity, not from being a great QB. He’s basically Andy Dalton with 2 rings.

@osufan6433 @barstoolsports He's top10 ALL TIME in every category that matters lol

Eli Manning Isn't Going To Let Some Idiot Get Away With Saying Nonsense Like Matt Ryan Was A Better Quarterback Than Him s.barstool.link/c/article-3568…

@barstoolsports Matt Ryan was a better QB though lol.

@CandyAndy75 @LosTheIVth @ESPNNFL Say what now

@LosTheIVth @ESPNNFL Except he wasnt by any stretch

Eli Manning has entered the chat 😂

@EliManning I’m a Giants fan and this isn’t a hot take at all. Ryan was a better QB overall. There really isn’t anything to debate.

I will ponder this while I play with my rings…

@shhhhoppp @HearneDaddyFlex @barstoolsports Bird is better offensively across the board, along with rebounding, IQ and leadership. And better at playing in actual games lol. All Kawhi has on Bird is D 🤷🏻‍♂️.

@HearneDaddyFlex @barstoolsports Not a single thing Larry bird does better than kawhi other than passing and ig rebounding

Pat Bev was asked to rank these wings all time, he went: 1) LeBron James 2) Kawhi Leonard 3) Kevin Durant 4) Larry Bird 5) Scottie Pippen 6) Carmelo Anthony 7) Tracy McGrady 8) Jayson Tatum 9) Paul Pierce 10) Grant Hill
