WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ON TWITTER:
The Hall of Fame voting process is silly and has arbitrary limits. Because of that, special cases like Jamie Moyer are frustratingly overlooked.

I wish Jamie Moyer hadn't been so bad for forever and he could get at least one Hall of Fame vote

Jamie Moyer should be in the Hall of Fascinating, the Hall of Longevity, the Hall of Adaption. But the Hall of Fame? I don't see it.

HOVG THOUGHTS: Moyer is an enigma. While there’s virtually no reason to vote for him (outside of his 269 wins…only a handful of Hall-eligible pitchers have more), he’ll get some votes.
