Rangers is a big one that I am kinda shocked has not gotten more attention - https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/1162059 Mets is a Matt Harvey issue - https://sny.tv/articles/former-mets-ace-matt-harvey-cocaine-use-tyler-skaggs https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id...suspended-60-games-mlb-distributing-oxycodone
Every Frontline has ominous music. I'm going to try really hard to watch this without my Astro goggles on. I'm going to give it a chance.
It doesn't have much new information and the narrator makes himself part of the story too often, but I agree it was fair and well made.
I watched it yesterday and its brutal lol. I dont know why they have to release this crap during the playoffs.
The ominous music in the background. Give me a break. Just watched it. It wasnt bad or a hit piece. I do like them throwing ******* Beltran and ****face Cora under the bus. That was refreshing. Love Jeff Luhnow.
That is their point of it. They hate the continued success of this team, and have to drum up hate. Will work in the Astros favor as usual on the road though. LOL.
I have no doubt they released this at the beginning of the playoffs for viewership, since more people have baseball on their minds at the moment. I actually really enjoyed watching this, and I hope more people (Astros fans and haters alike) watch this. It sucks to revisit the scandal, but half of the video celebrates how the current Astros became a good team. It doesn't feel like the show is trying to discredit the Astros, and it discussed the scandal in an objective point of view. In fact, I am glad they pointed out that there is no evidence that Altuve was wearing a buzzer in 2019 and that the banging of trashcans stopped before the 2017 playoffs. Also, it was great to see Luhnow being to explain his side of the story, even though he does seem a bit evasive in accepting responsibilities.
I have not watched it. So they did confirm (or bring up) that the trash cans were not used in the '17 playoffs?
Spoiler The show featured the Astros fan that tracked every trash can sound on TV broadcast, and it ended after the Farquhar on the White Sox caught the banging. The show left it off as inconclusive on whether they cheated in the playoffs. I think it is a fair conclusion since the MLB report seems to indicate the cheating took place in the playoffs without detailing what the Astros did.
The sports illustrated female reporter looks so miserable and still visibly angry; if she could have it her way she would throw all involved in a dungeon and throw away the keys. Gosh her bitterness is air-apparent. Which is perhaps one reason Sports illustrated became a dinosaur, and irrelevant. With folks like that holding so much sway, they aren’t going to draw much fans to read their opinions. Misery loves company and depression is contagious. The frontline segment on the Astro reminds me of the sulking child that didn’t get their way still complaining how life isn’t fair.
Reiter wants to be vindicated in saying the Astros are a top team still... and this is extra motivation since none is coming from the bench during our manager's naps.
A big gripe for me is they only mentioned pitchcom in passing. Wouldve loved more on how its changed the game, and for the better, and then inevitably how the Astros winning it all in the inaugural year.
Tony Adams (identity unconfirmed by Reddit), the Astros fan who logged every trash can bangs, is now asking questions on the AMA. Pretty interesting.
It made the female reporters look weak that they would find someone saying "thank God we signed Osuna" to them (while he was amped up from winning) to be so scandalous that they would make a public story out of it. As if they were somehow victimized by it. Get over yourself.
