    Because the data suggested it may not have been that big of an advantage? Especially when their road numbers were what they were?

    Also Beltran/Cora were no longer part of those teams. And some presumed ‘heavy users’ (Gattis, Marwin) also eventually left the team.

    In 10-15 years I expect the Astros cheating scandal to be viewed in a different light. Players that had a cup of coffee in the majors and didn't make the FU money will start writing books about how some players on their teams were stealing signs and cheating. Eventually those "team bonds" get crushed when guys need a payday. Ron Darling recently crushed his teammates in his book. They will be like the Navy Seals... they will all have publishers and looking to cash in.

    So you think the Astros players are liars for admitting to it?

    I believe in the concept of evidence. I know from the Covid thread that data and evidence is a difficult concept for you.

    I know one thing for certain. The Astros would’ve won the 2017 World Series without a freaking trashcan

    Are you saying the Astros players who described and admitted to the 2017 cheating scandal were lying? Those lies have essentially blackballed Luhnow. Got Hinch and Cora suspended and Beltran fired. Cost the Astros 4 high draft picks and a hefty fine.

    What possible motivation did the players have for lying about cheating if they never cheated?

    You are a gullible idiot. And you still need to shut the **** up. Watching CNN isn't "research," kid.
