    Did you not read my concluding paragraph? Don’t waste my time man. If you have nothing more to add to the discussion, please stop posting.

    They aren't convenient claims.

    They are factual claims.

    Karma is a b****. The Dodgers stole the land their stadium is one......... they have a very long history of cheating......... and have been accused of cheating by multiple organizations and players over the last handful of years.

    Worry about learning how to hit at home, and clean up your own house first....... otherwise the Dodgers look like massive hypocrites.

    Maybe cheaters Price and Betts will help up the Dodgers cheating game..... still wont make them hit in the playoffs though.

    I’ve seen people respond to this multiple times and give the Yankees and Red Sox as examples of teams using technology to cheat. Are you just ignoring those posts?

    You are an ostrich.

    Don't get me wrong, I already knew you were but I did not realize that you buried your head in the sand to the degree that you do.

    I already told you the teams and even some of the players.

    I even went as far as to give you a half dozen unquestioned Dodgers that have cheated over the years.

    Again that doesn't even take into account that the Dodgers gleefully traded for two cheaters from the Red Sox in the last few weeks.

    I am sure Betts and Price will console Bellinger when he starts raging. Maybe they will even let him wear their World Series ring around the clubhouse.

    When you have dirty hands....... don't act outraged..... that goes for Orel Hershiser who cheated in the playoffs....... to the Dodgers players that cheated and most of all, for someone like Bellinger..... look in the mirror and ask why you hit sub .150 in the series.

    So you have nothing more to add...

    Hypocrite much? My whole last paragraph was about presenting an opposing view, which you conveniently ignored. Learn how to contribute to actual discussion dude.

    The Red Sox, Yankees, Brewers, Dodgers and Astros have all been strongly accused of cheating over the last 3-4 years by other players and coaches.

    Opposing teams also get some revenue for these games... along with the stipulations that their own players may not get paid in games they voluntarily forfeited.

    But yes... twitter should continue to be as obnoxious about this as humanly possible.

    Lol it makes zero sense. “Astros players weren’t punished so we’ll hit them where it hurts - our own players’ pocketbooks! We’ll let the Astros walk into the playoffs, that will show them!”

    This is right up their with “the latest and greatest idiotic tweets”

    yes by all means forfeit those games, we’d love to be 81-0 and get all that extra rest and HFA throughout the playoffs.

    people out there are still questioning Tuve and his walkoff vs chapman. He addressed this immediately in his postgame interview and it doesn't get talked about at all

    starts at 50 seconds.



    Also why tf would his teammates want to rip off his shirt if he was indeed wearing a buzzer. just stfu :rolleyes:

    actually nook provided link / article of Dodger trying to steal signs from the field of play.

    his lack of baseball knowledge is such that he equates that to the Astros using electronic devises to steal sign
