No species has ever created another species through procreation

I don't believe in evolution in the sense that a dog mating with a dog makes a dog. No species has ever created another species through procreation.

This contradicts the scientific consensus on the theory of evolution and speciation.

Nolan Ryan should have been a unanimous Hall of Famer

When Nolan Ryan went on the Hall of Fame ballot and got elected, he should have been unanimous, and he wasn't... The Hall of Fame ballot's not a platform for you to make a statement.

Nolan Ryan received 98.8% of the vote in 1999, so it is a fact he was not unanimous.

I am not a Hall of Famer by my own standards

In my Hall of Fame, no. I think I was pretty good. I think I was better than everybody in the history of the game in October. Was I a Hall of Famer? In my Hall of Fame, no.

This is Schilling's personal standard for himself, making it subjective.

Mike Mussina is not a Hall of Famer

[Big Cat: Mike Mussina?] Ooh. I'd have to look at his numbers... As soon as you pause, it's a no.

Mike Mussina was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2019.

Modern starting pitchers are soft for only throwing 180 innings

Today it's going to be harder [for pitchers to get in the Hall] because they're doing less. You've got starters who go out and have a full season and have 180 innings. I mean, that's the equivalent of having a vagina. As a starter, your job is innings.

The claim that 180 innings is soft or disqualified you from the HOF is subjective, though his description of modern workload trends is factual.

Lenny Dykstra was the second smartest hitter I ever played with

[Lenny Dykstra] was probably the second smartest hitter I ever played with... When he was playing, he built those car washes, and he built them up into being a huge business.

This is a subjective ranking of teammates based on Schilling's personal experience.
