I don't know about you guys, but as an Astros fan I'm not really feeling any shame this year. Someone should create a twitter account Astros Revenge Tour.
I went along with the punishment. I don't believe in cheating per se, and felt that Houston was just the patsy MLB needed. I tried to avoid too much conflict early on and said just to take the lumps - we deserved them. Now? F them all. No release of the Yankee letter? No in depth investigation into EVERYONE that was cheating? Red Sox pass? Sticky stuff? Now I relish being the bad guy. I love the boos. I love that we live rent free in casuals heads. Doesn't hurt to be the best team in baseball either!
I always go back to the fact their record was better on the road. So any "cheating" worked to their DISADVANTAGE.
Alvarez is sloooowww in the outfield. That should have been caught. A’s had nice placement on the grounder for the second run
He may have wheels on the bases but in the OF YA is slow to react and then just doesnt have the "quickness" to make up for it.
This is not the game I wanted to get home and turn on. He doesn't have much business out there outside of Framber starts. I get the idea of having him available for games with no DH, but still He also may be the largest OFer in MLB.
Dusty has been alternating them nearly every game, regardless of who’s pitching. I just don’t want him to get hurt in the field. It’s not worth it.

I know we were all in favor of the occasional MMP start. This also coincided with Brantley being sore after the Rangers series where he played all the games in the field.
