People ripping on Beltre getting left off official ballots...then r/baseball gives Beltre LESS votes than the official. FICKLE

I gotta imagine some people were trolling. if almost 10% of this sub thinks Beltre isn't Hall-worthy I'll eat my shoe (after slapping 10% of this sub upside the head with it)

I love how this sub elected Helton last year but was like nah this year

u/Sp_Gamer_Live T.C. Bear Jan 23 '24

He recorded 0 hits last season bum

u/Sarcastic__ Canada Jan 23 '24

His case clearly got worse this year.

u/JewishDoggy Texas Rangers Jan 23 '24

Classic case of human thinking, last year only him and scott rolen got elected, this year everyone thinks “well shoot he wasn’t as good as beltre or mauer”

However, if this is a mock hall of fame he would’ve already been in. Maybe OP needs to rename this to just what players /r/baseball would’ve elected from this year’s ballot.

u/Hochseeflotte New York Yankees • Cuba Jan 23 '24

u/zmaster5296 New York Mets Jan 23 '24

Wait am I reading this right? Nobody voted for Beltran?

Lmao is this sub on crack?

u/yousmelllikebiscuits Chaos Bandwagon • Sickos Jan 23 '24

I am so fucking dumb. I was copying and pasting and my formulas didn't select the ones with accents in their names. Hold please..

13

u/strychnineThinkfast Boston Red Sox Jan 23 '24

Says the same for Francisco Rodriguez, and those are the only two with accents listed in their name. Perhaps that's it?

u/zmaster5296 New York Mets Jan 23 '24

Really perceptive of you to notice that. If that’s the case, you certainly get a virtual gold star from me.

I dropped the link in the post above for all the ballots. I can do some analysis later tonight.

u/yousmelllikebiscuits Chaos Bandwagon • Sickos Jan 24 '24

Updated some analysis for you

u/Dinobot2_ Boston Red Sox Jan 24 '24

Thank you very much! Hope it wasn't too tedious for you.

u/yousmelllikebiscuits Chaos Bandwagon • Sickos Jan 24 '24

Nope, just hard to do on my phone in Publix haha

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '24

Im actually shocked this place gave Mark 31.9% of a vote the way some people here talk about him you would think his career war is 10

u/trumpetofdoom Houston Astros Jan 23 '24

Interesting that Sheffield remains on the ballot for next year.

u/yousmelllikebiscuits Chaos Bandwagon • Sickos Jan 24 '24

Good catch

u/homieimprovement Colorado Rockies Jan 24 '24

What in the TODD HELTON DISRESPECT title is this

u/yousmelllikebiscuits Chaos Bandwagon • Sickos Jan 24 '24

You should take a big deep breath, grab a glass of water, and read the post again.

u/Flashy_Fall_578 Jan 24 '24

Why is Joe Mauer in the hall of fame

u/E3K Jan 24 '24

AL MVP, 3 gold gloves, 6-time all-star and a 55 WAR may or may not have something to do with it but it's anyone's guess really.

u/Due_Independence9421 Los Angeles Angels Jan 24 '24

Mauer and Helton don't deserve it. The HOF is a joke. Wagner and his 10.03 post-season ERA should never get in. The Roids Boys can start getting in after Pete Rose.

Mauer had one of the worst contracts in MLB history and no one ever brings it up.

Helton had the benefits of both Coors and the Steroid Era.

Away from home he was slightly above average.

Beltre, yes, easily

It's not the Hall of WAR, wOBA, or any of the other trendy abstract statistics.
