Queeny Hamels no hitter?
- Thread starter YAWN!
- Start date
I'll go as far as he had more urgency.
It's his turn to pitch. They are currently using a 4-man rotation. No one was moved up.
You theory is warped. Good chance that if he pitches Thursday then he'll be here after deadline.

Can you share a link? Notvsaying it's not true. I just haven't seen this before. Thanks.
Do you think Rollins makes the HOF? If no, do you think the Phillies retire his number?
I don't know if the policy is written anywhere. I spoke w a member of the organization about it.
Rollins is a borderline possibility. But if he doesn't get in, they won't retire the number

IMO, Rollins' chances of having his number retired are much greater than the HOF. Only because I believe the number retired part of it is nearly 100%.
Ha ha ha....no, you're not making it up. Well, you're confused. They aren't retiring his number. He's going on the Wall-of-Fame, which they do every year. It has nothing to do with an attempt to sell tickets. It's a yearly event. A sometimes stupid one if you ask me
Oh boy, burrs is making up new standards that mean nothing. By the highlighted statements that sounds great but means little, Rollins is one of the 3 best ss in Phillie's history.
We know what you think already. It's been a for the record about a dozen times now.
He's in the conversation more than you think because he plays a position where very few have some of his numbers.
Yea, but then you're at the mercy of dimwitted, vindictive, weirdo baseball writers.
He's the franchise all-time hit leader and in top 10 (some top 3's) of just about every offensive category. Was a tremendous defensive SS. And the leader of arguably their greatest run ever.
He deserves to have his number retired.
Utley? No
Howard? No
Hamels? No
So, it will remain exclusive.
You don't honor your all-time hits leader and arguably a top 3 position player ever the same way you do Mike Lieberthal. Cmon, be reasonable.
Last week Barry Larkin said he's definitely a HOF'er. Now, I don't agree with this type of conviction ("definitely"), but I'll take Larkin's opinion over some random, Frontrunning Bats' fan.
He's closer than you think.
But we've been over this before. No
Need to rehash it.
Ha ha...not really.
But by the same token if ADP says he isn't then by God he isn't.

I look forward to the following argument seven years from now:
adp: "I told you Rollins wouldn't get into the HOF."
burrs: "You said he had no chance. He got 37.8% of the vote which shows that he was more in the conversation than you gave him credit for."
And then 250 more posts after that.

Yes, why use things like measurable numbers and stuff. There is no case for Rollins in the Hall unless you are a CoP homer who likes to create new stats to support a silly attempt to include Rollins. He doesn't have the numbers and at no point was he ever considered the best at his position. Nice player, no shot at the hall. There won't be a long debate because the guy has no chance. Any non-biased person can draw that conclusion rather easily.

No need to rehash it, we'll all just keep playing this silly game I created called, blind philly homerism, Crazy stuff like stats, history and measurable data need not apply. The barrier for inclusion is does he raise to calf tattoo worthy? If so, he's in.
Fun Fact: Rollins will end his career with more hits. Doubles, triples, home runs, stolen bases, runs, and RBIs than Larkin. He will also be considered a better fielder, who had 7 higher fielding % seasons than Larkin's .983 (In a full season) best season. And he play in three times as many postseason games.
Funny. Because I have heard a few unbiased national guys suggest that Rollins is an interesting case.
Now, no one is saying stone cold lock or anything, but in the conversation. We already know the hall has guys in it that people don't think belong. The hall also includes SS that weren't as good as Rollins.
Rollins has a realistic chance at being the top 5 in games played at SS.
Burrs if he gets in will you take your sons to Cooperstown on induction weekend, provided you are still alive?
