    Read the report from the league that says they were cleared of wearable devices or any cheating in 2019

    And I can’t begin to tell you how glad Jose Altuve is for that.

    You also should realize that the league did not want to go to bat with the players union over this nonsense. I just hope everyone plays the right way next year

    Go Astros!

    No but my dad is a mason and controlled the entire carpenters union of the United States for a period of time. So I know how powerful unions can be. And since major league baseball did not have proof of Jose Altuve doing it does not mean he didn’t do it.

    Got it. So u have no proof then. That’s sound like an assumption to me.

    I don’t have any proof and neither did major league baseball, and that’s why the whole situation has been squashed. But you can’t be this naïve Nick

    Does it really matter at this point in time because what’s done is done. My Astros won a championship, and I’m looking very forward to another one without any malarkey tomfoolery or ballyhoo

    And yes I do believe the Astros championship was tainted just like the last 150 championships in major-league baseball

    Truth? Man it’s rough right now out there.

    Disappointed or not I’m repping my team. It sucks, but I’m not going to feel horrible about something that everyone is doing. Again, I’m not excusing them, but it’s been going on since the dawn of time. Baseball wants to act all high and mighty, but it’s a game that welcomes edge/cheating until someone cries enough. Then, they want to act like “oh wait I know this has been going on forever, but you can’t do that”. MLB can gtfo with that noise. Only when they want to save face is when they act on it.

    Exactly. Well said @mikol13.I don’t know how to feel about my past time anymore at this point, but you can bet your ass I’ll be playing catch with my son the next time I see him

    So, in your non-naive fantasy world... they using buzzers starting when? And on the road too? And if MLB didn’t find any evidence of this, and this is already after they beefed up checks this past season and postseason, why should they have to stop?

    Don’t be a sheep of public opinion. Buzzers have only been speculated because of a BS, no evidence, tweet... A mis-interpreted photo of Reddick who had confetti... and a leap of epic analysis as to why Altuve didn’t want his shirt ripped off.

    if Beltran well aware of possible buzzer situation, why not inform the Yankees heads (and baseball) when they were battling it out for a World Series berth and Beltran being an employee of the losing team?

    And a misinterpreted pic of Chirinos with what was probably his painted fingernail cover (so the pitcher can see his signs) hanging out from his batting glove.
