    I don't know if I would spread that stuff around, even with the "but not certain" disclaimer.

    Hard to party with under age girls when you spend most of your off time playing video games.

    Probably right, it’s just hearsay.

    Keuchel is only 31. Surprised me. Hope he doesn't go to the Angels.

    The Astros lineup would do very well against him

    would love to see if we could sign Felix to a ST invite or low level deal. Surely at this point in his career, he’d like to play for a winner. Would be a reclamation project for sure, but what do we have to lose? Especially with an opening at SP5. I don’t think it’ll go anywhere, but I’d like to take the gamble.

    What surprised me was that Mad Bum only turned 30 in August. He's got a bit of a temper but surprised he didn't get a bigger contract

    LOL as much as I would love for this to be true or for something to come out exposing him for the true weirdo he really is (I mean just look at the guy), I need at least a TMZ or tabloid news reference here? I haven't seen anything of this nature ever come out....

    I think he could benefit from having Greinke around...they have similar repertoires and went from hard throwing righties that were FB first to pitching off the change up.

    Yeah I can’t say anything for certain. I’ve just seen it pop up on different sites. Including the Astros tainted thread.
    Not trying to accuse him of anything, just stuff I’ve seen.

    Good enough for me....

    Mike Fiers is a snitch who diddles kids...what a disgusting man. Can't trust anyone who does insane stuff like this:

    So you're rooting for a sex crime to have been committed because someone was a whistleblower? There are some ****ed up people in this world.

    Word is he likes them VERY young. I saw one girl post on Twitter that is ready to out him.

    If the rumors are true, he’s one sorry SOB.

    Am I wrong @Nook ?

    You are correct.

    There were whispers of it when he was still an Astro..... that was the first I heard about it and the team was aware of the rumors.

    After he left the Astros it was joked about around the offices.

    Once he came forward with the cheating allegations it picked up more steam.

    I do not know if it is true. I have never met or spoken to anyone directly that has said they "dated him". However it is an odd thing to come up and to last so long.

    I know he is really close to his father and was too his mother as well. He has a son but is extremely private.

    Heard he was potentially identified as going to pedo island with Epstein. True scumbag.

    I've wanted so badly to start a "Roast of Mike Fiers" thread but I can see a bunch of posters here getting upset and finding it "not classy" so I've held back my urge. But wow so much good content...I mean the man has a "FIERS" arm sleeve tat in crappy Mexican font.

    You would think a grown man who is relatively big, completely bald, has arm sleeves and plays in the MLB would be one tough SOB...but nope I don't think the man could be a bigger p*ssy if tried after snitching on your former team for "potentially minor cheating" (it's not like we hacked into another teams systems and stole their data like the Cards) two years after being released and taking the WS share money and ring with no issue. I suppose I understand why he would keep the money - he probably wanted to get another awful tat (maybe one on his thigh that reads "MIKE" in rainbow coloring?) or maybe even a new Harley to hopefully finally get some ass. It's quite a feat to be a MLB player in your mid 30s with no wife/kids (he has never married), no serious girlfriend (don't see any one in the past either) and clearly he's not doing it James Harden style and just living life and getting whatever he wants anytime, anywhere. But when you consider the fact that the man has those tattoos but isn't tough, huge mo can't believe no woman is going to

    The ring though? That thing is tainted...why would you want to keep that? Maybe he thought an actual woman would sleep with him if he went out wearing the ring since it's so flashy? But wait...you rode the bench the entire playoffs and if you didn't have that stupid f***** tattoo on your arm NO ONE would even know who you are. Speaking of riding the bench, I have a new theory as to why they felt the need to create the "alleged system" in the first place...

    Prior to the start of the 2017 Playoffs, Hinch and Cora likely started doing some game planning and came to the conclusion that "Wow if one of our SP go down and Fiers has to pitch for us, the only chance we have of winning when he pitches is if we literally know what pitch the opposition is going to throw and we just outscore them". As they continued to think it through further, they realized we would still likely be at a disadvantage as Fiers pitching against opposing hitters who don't know what pitch he is throwing is still worse than any other MLB Playoff SP even when we know what pitch is coming. So the system was born and it became so intricate all because of Mike "Flat 88 MPH" Fiers, a man so trash that not even Strom or our analytics team could fix him.

    Thinking it through, I suppose it would be frustrating to watch everyone else come here and level up while you continue to suck. When you are so bad that even cheating can't help you succeed (we all know that was pine tar or something illegal he was using), it's probably demoralizing and you likely start wondering..."Do I look like an ******* on the mound giving up all of these runs with this huge Fiers arm sleeve tat"? Well buddy you are going to look like a HUGE ******* when we tear you up this season with no "sign stealing advantage", because news flash, we don't need to know what pitch you are throwing...they all f***** suck.

    Man I’m there with you, he’s a rat. Wants a little more attention brought to himself at expense of teammates.
    Still doesn’t excuse Stros actions or behavior, but **** Fiers

    The whole thing is weird to me though.
