    Can only hope that another team on the Astros schedule picks him up...

    Deny what? Things that every single pitcher has done for the past 100 years?

    Once MLB says "stop it" then you stop it, and get the **** over it.

    I don't think guys stop doing until they are confident their opponents aren't either. Probably going to take some big name TOR getting suspended for the rest of the year to get peoples attention. Hope to God that guy isn't an Astro.

    How many didn't deny roids despite most doing it? Players don't usually admit to actively cheating even if it is widespread.

    Amphetamines were not illegal until MLB said they were
    Steroids were not illegal until MLB said they were
    Field whistling was not illegal until MLB said it was
    Doctoring the ball was not illegal until MLb said it was

    Everyone needs to get over it.

    Judge on Cole:
    Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, who homered on Wednesday, said he didn't like Donaldson's comments on Cole and added he feels like for "95 percent" of the pitchers he faces, "something's going on."

    "It’s kind of one of those rules that I feel like hasn’t really been enforced or defined or whatever you want to say about it," he said. "But when it comes to it, we all got a job to do. Cole’s got a job to do on the mound and me as a hitter, I’ve got to step in the box and no matter what’s going on, no matter what people are using I’ve got to go in there and do my job."

    Steroids were already illegal from a legal standpoint.
    Nothing in the rule book about whistling.
    Doctoring the ball has been illegal for decades. Not enforcing the rule doesn't make it any less of a rule.

    If anything, the rulebook does need cleanup, imagine if this rule starts being enforced:
    Players in uniform shall not address or mingle with spectator,
    nor sit in the stands before, during, or after a game. No manager,
    coach or player shall address any spectator before or during
    a game. Players of opposing teams shall not fraternize at
    any time while in uniform.

    Sounds like the illegal possession of wire-cutters in Texas. Right to carry guns, but NOT wire-cutters.
