Just like Manfred is scapegoating the Astros to preserve the league, he is gonna scapegoat Cora to reserve the Red Sox and prevent another public outlashing.
Yep, its pretty much the "monkeys flinging poo" social media and the other national media spoon-feeding said poo to the monkeys......
Because Mike F#cking Fiers put us in the narrative first. Add to it that MLB is taking its time punishing Boston, so we are the lone scapegoat.
It infuriates me to see that initial tweet quoted again. I mean, it’s right there in the first damn headline: “part of a much broader issue for Major League Baseball.” Yet here we are, still waiting to hear about this “broader issue.”
Props to Jomboy for acknowledging something that goes against his narrative. Most people act like doing so is a crime against humanity.
Make no mistake, the time he is taking is all according to script. Conveniently sitting back and watching just how bad it gets and probably adjusting the findings on Boston along the way to ensure it doesnt get this bad again.
Dont give that guy any props. Zero. Right after that he went on bantering about how could someone possibly be thinking of that while rounding the bases in SUCH A BIG MOMENT. He discredited that too. Dont let him fool you.
The 2017 NY Yankees cheated, got caught, were fined, prompting the Mnfred memo to the league. I wonder how Andrew Benintendi feels about having the 2017 AL ROY award stolen from him ***Checks notes - The 2017 Boston Red Sox cheated in 2017, got caught, were fined, prompting the Mnfred memo to the league. I wonder how Trey Mancini feels about getting the AL ROY award stolen from him?
Of course the Astros weren't the only ones who did it. It's just the fact they won a championship out of it, and the fact they beat the Yankees and dodgers while doing it. If there was a deeper investigation, a lot of people would get exposed, but they just want to make the Astros the scapegoat, because they're low hanging fruit
So a guy who don’t even know anyone from the championship team and has no dog in the fight has made the Astros not really champs anymore.. ok
This is the one time when I wish Congress would get involved and investigate everyone. Put players on the stand under penalty of perjury. Manfred has a huge incentive to scapegoat the Astros and move on.
Yup that remark will go nowhere except to that small circle of people listening live at that moment. **** lebitch too. Talking about cheating while hes probably on steroids and blood doping like no ones business.
What makes it difficult is sign stealing in baseball is a rule, not law. HOWEVER, with gambling and such...this could become a fraud and misleading the public type of case. It could happen, but doubtful. But man, that would be kind of fun.
I don't know who any of these people are, but I'll tell you I'm ****ing shocked. Shocked, I say. eta, also: Why are random ****ing twitter accounts the arbiters of knowledge?
The Dodgers should be b****ing trying to deflect these disgrace of numbers making it to the WS. Bellinger LMFAO. correa was on point about you
