    This is what I like to hear.

    A pissed off Astros team is a very dangerous team.

    BTW, security needs to be very tight when Micheal Bruce Fiers rolls into town.

    Springer
    Altuve
    Brantley
    Bregman
    Alvarez
    Correa
    Gurriel
    Tucker/Reddick
    Maldonado

    It's going to be a lot of fun watching these guys put up prodigious numbers while other teams' fans are completely bewlldered how the Astros hitters are so good without knowing what pitch is coming. Or do they know what pitch is coming? Hahaha #crushcity

    I'll be shocked if Fiers ever sets foot in MMP again.

    Such BS. I hope we somehow manage to win it all this year to shut everyone up.

    Some would’ve thought Skaggs overdosing with the possibility of some of the Angels org. knowing of his excessive opioid usage previous to his OD and did nothing would’ve been a much bigger issue and more newsworthy than sign stealing. Maybe I’m not caught up all the way with that story. Not sure if that rumor was verified or not.

    The investigation into Skaggs’ death showed that an Angels’ employee regularly supplied him with drugs.

    Best case scenario is that this whole fiasco has brought the team even closer together and served as the ultimate kind of motivation for 2020. Just from Bregman and Altuve I’m already getting the vibe that they’re pissed and ready to get going here in a few weeks.

    I think the best way for the team to put this behind them is to go out and win tons of games. I mean just destroy the opponents. Have a chip on their shoulder and prove that they didn't need to steal signs in the first place to win. Just be a juggernaut and silence the critics. Conversely, this whole scandal will continue to haunt them if they start out slow, let the scandal impact their performance and have a poor year with multiple losses. This will just undermine their position that they are a great team without needing to steal signs... I'm hoping for the former to shut everyone up!

    Fat ass CC...go clog your heart arteries again. It'd be a "shame" if your fat ass died of a heart attack.

    Well yeah, according to all these pitchers the last few days, I've learned steroids >>>>>>>>>> sign stealing

    "I'd rather have a batter on steroids than a guy stealing signs."
