    I’m not too concerned with that. I think most if not all players truly know this is widespread and not just Astros/Sox issues.

    Most of the players who have been vocal have been from teams that the Astros have beaten.

    The Astros are a very good team and I think most would want to play here and have a shot at a ring.

    How long before a movie is made about this that really takes an ugly route against the Astros? May not be a theater release but perhaps Netflix does something.

    It also occurred to me that when my phone is on vibrate on a soft surface like the couch, I still hear it. If they had buzzers why would they place it on the part of their body closest to the ump?

    It was the trash can that thought of that. With more free time after the Astros decided the trash can was "no longer effective" in early 2018, the trash cans spent his nights alone in the clubhouse inventing the Rumble Pill embedded with a wireless signal receiver. Take one before your at bat, and own the plate as a signal for fast ball vibrates the contents of your stomach. Curve balls are indicated by the passing of gas. Trash can tried to sell his product to Pfizer, but they declined on ethical grounds.

    It won't be a sanctioned MLB film so there will be no reference to the city or Astos name.

    Those of you who are both Astros Fans and, for some ****ing reason, Trump Supporters now know what it feels like to deal with an ever-increasing flow of deliberately insane bullshit.

    Having not followed most of the bs on this matter except for the firing of 3 managers, am I missing something?

    Amazing man.

    SAS: According to the reports, they were wearing buzzers...now MLB said those reports are said to be false and not true...BUT THE STORY IS OUT THERE!

    The story is out there that the Dodgers and Yankees cheated too...

    This buzzer thing has really taken off lol and of course it is all about getting the players banned too. It's all paranoia about a piece of confetti and wrinkles in a jersey all promoted by a Yankee fanboy.

    Altuve: ‘I have never worn an electronic device in my performance as a major league player.’”

    That's all I need to hear! I'll be at the fan fest tomorrow!

    :rolleyes:



    Fiers isn't perfect, but that isn't the standard. What he is, really, is someone who was tasked with navigating an immoral and unethical maze. He chose to speak up when his silence would have been accepted and more beneficial for his career and his livelihood. Fiers won't be knighted or sainted; he should be appreciated, however, for he restored part of baseball's integrity.

    Medal of Honor, give it to him!
