Yes, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuskieTitan Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 After reading articles and comments, it appears that the Astros did NOT get a hammer dropped on them. They flat out cheated. If MLB had balls they would vacate that title. Given that they didn't, it's pathetic and teams will know that they can get away with cheating to win the WS... and the players won't even be punished. How can anyone want to stay a baseball fan when the league spits in your face over the integrity of the game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny/Patrick Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 They should have the title vacated. Also where are the Astros fans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well to be fair the NFL would probably just burn the evidence and not punish anyone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jomboy has been talking about the electric buzzing bandages for a while, he's grasping at straws with these tweets to try and make it look more real. They absolutely could have been using bandages, but this has absolutely no impact on proving or disproving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they were...no they weren't - I've no clue - but they've lost all "benefits of the doubt" by this point. The Atros have been shown to have an extended, concerted and widespread program involving many players, coaches and FO folks. Apparently MLB looked into the buzzer matter and considered it a dead end. I'll take their word for it - but minus their input - I wouldnt put it past this crew of individuals. They've brought this on themselves. They've basked in a somewhat false glory for quite some time. Now they're basking in a somewhat different light and there's no glory to be found. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree with any of this but I don't really know how it's relevant to my post. Just trying to shut down this whole Beltran's niece "theory" that is completely bogus. There are more than enough facts already out to make a movie out of. No need to grasp at straws and witch hunt for non-facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearl-clutching over the Yankees spending too much money is a bigger impediment to winning the World Series than whatever the Astros did.
