Glavine is a 300 game winner which is basically an automatic entry to the HoF. Mussina won 54 more games than Schilling and was considered a questionable pick by a lot of people (from what I remember) when he was elected. Smoltz had almost the same win total as Schilling but also spent time as a closer and also has 154 saves. Glavine and Smoltz also won Cy Young awards which Schilling never did. I think his low win total compared to most starters already in the HoF worked against him with a lot of older voters even though several pitchers with comparable win totals have been elected more recently. He certainly didn't help himself with some of his comments, but I don't think that's the only reason he didn't get elected by the writers.
