People that say what the Astros did was sickening are a joke. A flat out joke. Baseball is filled with cheaters and if you want to take away a Titles or a Championship then the same should be done for every team that had a steroid abuser on them. Alex Rodriguez David Ortiz Manny Ramirez Roger Clemens Andy Pettite Melky Cabrera Looking at that list we can strip the 2000-2020 Yankees, Red Sox, and Giants teams. Pedro Martinez has come out and said he feels 60% of baseball has used PED’s. People need to stfu. This has gotten out of hand.
I have no doubt they cheated on the road too. It was just too easy for them not to do it. Cheaters go the distance.
FWIW, mccullers tweeted this out 2 years ago..... don’t think he would say this openly if he thought for a second the Astros were the only team doing this
Not for me. I don't see anything wrong with stealing signs. Change them, mix 'em up, hide them better. What is sickening is the national media and MLB making the Astros into a scapegoat for something that other teams were doing and have been doing for a long time, pretending like it is some big scandal orchestrated by the Astros. MLB could not afford for the Yankees to spend billions of dollars trying to buy a championship and have the Astros keep them out of the World Series every year.
You think it is easy to set up a hidden center field camera and a video room in the visitor clubhouse of every road ballpark in major league baseball? Ok.
What you people don’t realize is that I understand cheating goes on in baseball, and stealing signs does not bother me whatsoever. What does bother me is Jose Altuve wearing a wire. You can say there’s no proof of that, but I call bullshit
It is a lot easier for Jose Altuve to use his natural ability to hit a baseball than to wear a "wire" and rely on some guy in a video room trying to decode signs for every pitcher and every pitch hoping he gets it right. It just doesn't work very well. I guarantee Jose will hit right around his career average for the next 5 years if he is healthy.
It’s already been proven he didn’t wear anything. Anyone believing that is honestly just not worth conversing with.
