BayRaider Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Fiers shouldn’t be getting any hate. The A’s as a team went to the MLB over 10 times. MLB basically said go f yourself. Other teams brought it up as well. Fiers making a public statement about it basically forced the MLB’s hand and was the last card the A’s had to try to fix baseball. F*** Manfred. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 You know this is big when LeBron and Trout, the best players of their sports, are outraged. Maybe we’ll get an NFL person to say something soon. The media and players aren’t going away on this until that title is stripped. It’s the right thing to do, black eye to baseball or not. And the A’s going to the MLB 10+ times among other teams, should have Manfred resign immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The supposed top player in the NFL is a known cheater and wears uggs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucketheadsdad Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Heard some rumblings and I wasn't sure. Has anyone else heard that the league is compelling the Astros to take on Sgt. Barnes from "Platoon" as their team trainer this year? He has such a great bedside manner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDez Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 If Manfred just disappeared after the punishment instead of continuing to speak this wouldn’t be so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Just bought front row to the Astros first road game March 30th @ A’s. Gotta sneak in a sign somehow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Melvin, who is like the most laid back dude ever and always ignores drama, responded to Ortiz’s snitch comments: “I’m actually glad you asked me that,” Melvin said. “What’s the alternative? Just let it continue? There are things that go on in the clubhouse that you say should stay in the clubhouse, but this goes way beyond that. We’re talking about front office people hooking up video. This wasn’t just a clubhouse thing. This needed to stop, and that wasn’t the only way it was going to happen. That would be my response.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slateman Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I gotta think that this is a lot more prevalent around the league. Maybe not to the extent the Astros did it, but I feel like there is a lot more activity that would be in the gray area. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leader Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Tom Verducci (on MLB) on the 2017 WS sham: Kershaw threw 51 sliders and curveballs that day, and got *zero* swings and misses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramssuperbowl99 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 The Astros are so tone deaf that when a fan brought a sign to a game criticizing them for stealing signs, they stole that sign too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else would we have the best record in baseball from that point on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
