I wouldn't mind seeing Astros players get plunked all year long

There was action against the organization, but I agree with your basic point.

They just fired the best GM and the best manager in the game. They also ensured

Luhnow and Hinch were complete tools. A couple years of tainted winning don't

I think the reason people aren’t getting over it is because it’s unacceptable

Medute

2/17/20 9:13pm

I think it's telling you talk about the Dodgers and Yankees "buying their way into contention"

jdub

2/17/20 9:16pm

It’s the truth. I don’t care if it’s tone deaf. I also agree that they should

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:20pm

Overblown? They literally won the WS by cheating. They almost won a second one cheating

jdub

Exhibit A.

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:24pm

LOL. The best manager in the game? How are we to know?

LifeLongLakerFan

2/17/20 9:19pm

They broke the rules and paid an appropriate penalty. The advantage they

Marginal? Have you ever played the game?

LifeLongLakerFan

They were better on the road than at home. They have a stockpile of great

They also cheated on the road

Where did they set up the road camera?

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:49pm

Code breaker info being fed to players live time, was reported on

BYUfan92

2/17/20 9:55pm

How?

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:58pm

See my post just below - from Ken Rosenthal

BYUfan92

2/17/20 10:06pm

Evidence?

gmj81

2/17/20 9:55pm

Here you go

BYUfan92

2/17/20 10:05pm

One more here, all below are direct quotes,

BYUfan92

2/17/20 10:13pm

Sounds like allegations not evidence but even you quoted the algorithm is legal

gmj81

2/17/20 10:20pm

Astro fans are the greatest . . . Still trying to defend this crap . . .

LakeshowCougs

2/17/20 10:26pm

But defending what they did per se, just don't get why it's the end of the world

gmj81

2/17/20 10:30pm

I don't think it is either. It just hilariously how delusional the Astros are.

LakeshowCougs

2/17/20 10:38pm

Because they used it to win a world championship

BYUfan92

2/17/20 11:10pm

And they were a very mediocre team and had been a terrible team for decades

AZ Coug

2/17/20 11:15pm

There still hasn't been evidence of road cheating yet. Not saying there wasn't

gmj81

2/18/20 4:33am

They're like Utes with a drawl

AZ Coug

2/17/20 10:30pm

Why are you saying quote unquote? It’s also not allegations if you read it

BYUfan92

2/17/20 10:33pm

Hinch was 89-123 with the D-backs. A dismal failure until he started cheating.

AZ Coug

2/17/20 10:18pm

Lemme guess....Astros fan?

BYUfan92

2/17/20 9:21pm

Yes, since I was 8 years old. Never have I felt more disappointed in my team.

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:23pm

Astro fans should boo 'em tell they trade 'em all. You guys deserve better

If everybody who ever stole signs were kicked out there’d be nobody left. They

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:35pm

Everybody steals signs. Not everybody uses technology like the Astros and Red Sox to do it. Stop bringing "everybody"

CouchPotato

2/17/20 9:39pm

I meant to say that everybody steals signs, non electronically, and before 2017

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:43pm

Come on now. Don't justify this. If the A's did this I'd boo them all

777

2/17/20 9:41pm

Fiers and Kemp did do it. So get to it

gmj81

2/17/20 9:48pm

I already have. I hope they get 50 games or traded. And he was the only

2/17/20 10:42pm

After he already has his ring though, right? And after signing a with

gmj81

2/18/20 4:36am

I’m not justifying anything. I’ve said multiple times throughout this thread

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:48pm

For 5 mill, a few lost picks that don’t impact you for years, a GM & a manager

BYUfan92

2/17/20 9:45pm

I think the players union would allow it, but the trade for immunity was necessary. I think they should forfeit the WS

shimmy

2/17/20 9:26pm

Spoken like a true Astro . . . Whats next, the cheating didn't affect the games?

LakeshowCougs

2/17/20 9:39pm

We already know the Astros players, coaches and front office are garbage people

AZ Coug

2/17/20 10:20pm

Hard to argue with that, you do seem like a solid judge of character. I’ve

BigD Coug

2/17/20 10:26pm

I guess I missed the outcry among the Astros fans over the scandal

AZ Coug

2/17/20 10:31pm

You have missed it. It hit a lot of us pretty hard. You’ll excuse us though if

BigD Coug

2/17/20 10:40pm

You're really gonna try to defend this crap?

LakeshowCougs

2/17/20 10:35pm

I don’t care what they say to the media, and I’m just a regular fan, I’m not

BigD Coug

2/17/20 10:42pm

Deflagte was nothing. This isn't nothing.

LakeshowCougs

2/17/20 10:53pm

Deflategate dominated sports media for 6 months, and riled up irrational fans

BigD Coug

2/17/20 11:02pm

I agree with you 100%. I didn't mean that deflategate didn't get attention, just

LakeshowCougs

2/17/20 11:09pm

That's not what people were saying at the time.

gmj81

2/18/20 4:39am

This is the kind of hyperbole that totally ruins any point you may have

gmj81

2/17/20 10:31pm

Thanks for your inputs.

AZ Coug

2/17/20 10:32pm

Please provide. As yet it's just unnamed sources from what I've seen without

gmj81

2/18/20 4:42am

All of your points were ruined as soon as you became an Astros fan

LakeshowCougs

2/17/20 10:41pm

There's that hyperbole again

gmj81

2/18/20 4:40am

Lol.

StantonMac

2/17/20 9:40pm

In what way are the Dodgers buying their way to contention?

StantonMac

2/17/20 9:46pm

They are a Tier I, top 4 payroll in baseball. That alone ensures they contend

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:57pm

As your guy Correa says... you should get some facts

StantonMac

2/17/20 11:49pm

Here are the MLB payroll rankings since McCourt sold the team:

BigD Coug

2/18/20 12:20am

The irony is that the Dodgers have not bought their way into contention.

tarzan15

2/17/20 9:54pm

They have a top 2 payroll in baseball. They have smartly built their team

BigD Coug

2/17/20 10:02pm

Let's not shy away from the fact that the Astros are #3

tarzan15

2/17/20 11:02pm

Yep, the Greinke trade pushed them into the stratosphere, but then they had to

BigD Coug

2/17/20 11:08pm

Let's be honest, there was zero chance they were signing Cole

I am as upset as anyone with what the Astros did. However,

BigEasyCougar

2/17/20 9:36pm

Precisely why MLB should punish them

Colorado

2/17/20 9:38pm

Yep. But I still don’t think other teams should throw at them.

BigEasyCougar

2/17/20 9:42pm

And they most likely won't. Pitchers have been neutered in this league.

777

2/17/20 9:44pm

Legal ramifications? So those aren't in play for the everyday intentional

LifeLongLakerFan

2/17/20 9:46pm

Any body intentionally trying to hurt a hitter should be charged with assault

gmj81

2/17/20 9:58pm

There should be legal ramifications for cheating. So many lives affected by it.

Colorado

2/17/20 10:30pm

So many lives? Pray tell

gmj81

2/17/20 10:32pm

many pitchers lost reputations. Most of them will be fine financially but

Colorado

2/18/20 5:55am

I'm sure the buzzers or trash cans will warn them about any bean balls

AZ Coug

2/17/20 10:34pm

So what should the legal ramifications be for the Astros? Insider trading?

LakeshowCougs

2/17/20 10:43pm

Unfair business practices. Yes. I hope that pitcher wins the lawsuit.

BigEasyCougar

2/18/20 5:07am

Agreed. They should be punished.

LifeLongLakerFan

2/17/20 9:41pm

Apparently so.

BigD Coug

2/17/20 9:50pm

Yep. And no apologies for it here.

LifeLongLakerFan

2/17/20 10:00pm

Alrighty then. Let the beatings begin.
