Talk:Curt Schilling

message: I am not entirely sure if this belongs here, but I put a mention of a charitable event that specifically support Curt's Pitch for ALS, of which Curt Schilling and Ronda Schilling have made appearances at, and Schilling has always been on hand at the presentation of the funds to him. Is this appropriate here? -- Ubergenius 17:07, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Is Schilling's pitching-while-injured stunt during 2004 ALCS Game 6 missing from this article intentionally?  Twenty years from now, if affecianados are asked to recall a specific game Schilling pitched, that one would probably be the most memorable.  I assume that's as a much a qualification for 'career highlight' as any. 15:26, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bloody Sock Incident? 

message: Schilling did not appear in Game 3 of 2004 ALDS as stated in the article;  he started and won Game 1 but aggravated his ankle injury in the game.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.204.241.9 (talk • contribs) 06:11, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm a little surprised not to see any mention of Schilling's faith in the article - after the 2004 Series he was open about being a Christian, and I'm sure it plays a significant role in his life off the field. Ataru 00:21, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed this speculation from the main article:
 There are also rumors that Schilling is said to retire at the end
 of the 2007 season. He says that he does not wish to play past 40,
 to preserve his stats.
If anyone want to find a citation for it, please do. -- JHunterJ 22:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Retirement rumor 

message: Not only as Curt's wife but as his partner in the fight against ALS. She's a major part of that too. She should just be mentioned anyway, regardless.71.232.62.13 02:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The citation to backup the claim that Green Monster Games was not named after the wall at Fenway park references a webpage that does not mention this issue at all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.154.235.211 (talk) 14:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Invalid citation 

message: The page has only one sentence about his involvement in speaking out against steroid use. Considering that he has been probably the most vocal opponent of steroid use from within the game, this should probably be given some more coverage here. Chubbles (talk) 21:14, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just added a sentence about his views on two specific players. I don't think that really fits into the "political advocacy" section, but like you said, we'll need more than there is to give the controversy its own section. If we're going to claim that he is "probably the most vocal opponent of steroid use from within the game", we'll need good secondary sources making that claim. If we want to make a section called "opposition to steroids" or something like that, it needs to be well-verified and back up any controversial statements. There's a risk of making grand claims that don't jive with reality. On the other hand, it's certainly reasonable to make a "reaction to steroids" section that simply records his claims without any information about others peoples' opinions of his reaction. I'm not trying to be discouraging, because if we can write a good section about his opposition to steroids we absolutely should, but we have to be careful about opening a can of worms.
More immediately, where would this section fit in the article? After "conflicts with media"? After "political advocacy"? It would be just as at home in either place. 24.60.166.137 (talk) 20:50, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Needed expansion

message: I like the new picture added. The other one showed Schilling a little to old. By the way, does anyone know if Schillings' nickname is Schill.--RyRy5 (talk) 21:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  I Wonder 

message: I think the details in the red sox section is way to long considering he has only pitched three years as a red sox and given that  the section should be more summarized with less details for example if he had a no hit bid but it was broken up that isn't an achievement or something that should be brought up as if it were that important.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Codycod10 (talk • contribs) 03:41, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Vandalism concerns 

message: As of 7/14/21, under "Scouting Report," reference #41 uses archived data (way back machine) rather than current data <https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/strikeouts_per_base_on_balls_career.shtml>.  Considering the number of pitchers still pitching (2021 season) -- who may or may not finish their careers ahead of Schilling -- it's clear that listing him as "currently fifth" in this article is speculation and misleading.   As of the 2021 All-Star break, he's actually #11.  Ten years from now, he could be as high as #2 behind Tommy Bond.
Although I made no article edits, I suggest a rephrase indicating that he finished his career in the top five of MLB pitchers in this category.  Otherwise, consider changing the reference to use current data or maintain the article daily.  Gprobins (talk) 13:53, 14 July 2021 (UTC)
