RIPPA Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (Since its the Post make sure you haven't run out of free articles to read) Anyway - a deep dive into who knew about the cheating, etc.. It also talks about how the Nats were able to prepare ahead of time because they were tipped off by players from other teams. Also really shows that Carlos Beltran is not getting into the Hall of Fame anytime soon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPN reported exactly what the Astros were doing, sourced from five people, in 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Even more comical - their owner flat out said "We believe this didn't impact the game" 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 If it didn't impact the game and give them the edge, why did they do it? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I fucking died at all of this Astros shit, from Bergman being a piece of shit, Dusty being there and having to speak to this even though, you know, HE WASN'T THERE, saying it didn't impact the game, then saying he didn't say that, Altuve saying all of 5 words... My God. All they had to do was be contrite, accept blame, and instead they doubled down on being shitheads. Amazing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Oh yeah, and the "the guys weren't prepared for this" in regard to everyone finding out. YOU FUCKING THINK?! LOL This team. It would have been better if they just came out and said, "yeah, we cheated, and we'll do it again too. You don't want us to? Then stop us. Best us on the field. But I very you can't. We'll see y'all in October." Just full of wrestling promo. That would have been better than what they did. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I'm also fucking sick of them just referring to 2017. Yeah, you won a world series, but you fucks also cheated in 2018 and 2019. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Man Known as Dan Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Yeah, that was a clincher on my “No MLB baseball until things get fixed” mindset. Fuck this league for there handling of this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ricketts and Sinclair/MSN. I fucking hate the Ricketts family. Bunch of shitheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Only thing Astros should be apologizing for: There’s no magic apology that would’ve worked. Can’t wait to see the crying when they’re back in the World Series. Let all Houston teams be heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted February 14, 2020 Author Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'm honestly wondering if there's going to be some kind of informal arrangement where the Astros leadoff hitter gets one between the numbers on opening day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Remember the Yanks complained about it during the playoffs too and it lead to people here saying the Yanks were "classless" for bringing it up 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOT SAYING YOU SHOULD DO THIS, but you can do it and I highly encourage everyone to then pay for a subscription to WaPo, NYT, your local newspaper, or whatever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
