You seem like an idiot.

Sounds like both. Beltran was apparently the bully. But you'd also have to assume players who might be trying to protect their ass might be throwing people under the bus. This will be an interesting one to follow, for sure.

Wow, altuve is claiming he was covering his shirt because he was embarrassed about an uncompleted collarbone tattoo? Dude is lying through his teeth.

Welp. There goes Beltrans shot at the hall of fame. He had an outside shot.

They should all be banned for life. They've done irreparable harm to the game.

I don't follow baseball very close. I am sure there must be much more to the story. Teams and players have been stealing signs for as long as baseball has been around.
[Reply]

:-) Yeah, let's see it. Fucking scumbag.

Not using electronic methods including buzzers alerting them to pitches.

Low sample. They cheated in season too, would be interested to see those splits.

I don't know enough about it, but what distinction made it so they were able to cheat only at home?
[Reply]

The depth of your retardedness is quite frankly, unbelievable. Had I known someone could be as dumb as you, but also possess the ability to form sentences I wouldn't have had children. The fact that retardedness has evolved this much is completely terrifying.

Agreed.

Each and every member of the Astros, including their front office, should be banned for life and the owner should be expelled, much like Donald Sterling was forced to sell the Clippers.

Alex Cora and members of the Red Sox should be banned for life as well, although I believe that John Henry should "only" receive a 3 to 5 year ban, although he would not be allowed to contact the Red Sox for any reason during that time, which also may lead him to sell the team.

If teams are allowed to cheat their way to a World Series with little to no punishment handed out by Manfred, what's to stop another team from replicating or coming up with another devious plan to steal signs and cheat?

IMO, the sophistication in stealing signs was the most egregious form of cheating in major sports history. Manfred should whip out the Ban Hammer but he's too weak to make such a decision.

In the meantime, those who believe that MLB doesn't provide a level playing field due to the major discrepancy in TV revenues, which propel the biggest spenders to the playoffs year in and year out, have another reason in which to distrust Major League Baseball.

Can't wait for the first player to HBP an Astros batter to get a no-warning ejection.

Im pretty sure I hate you. Cheating is pure scum when its understood everyone is playing or competing on a level playing field. Some goes for the stock market, poker, gambling, business. Cheating or the willingness to cheat is one of the biggest indicators of being a quality human being. It would be one thing if all teams were using buzzers and cheating like the astros. But they weren't
[Reply]

Very eloquent. Now how about replying with some meaningful commentary. I am not refuting the fact that what the Astros did was “illegal”, but just pointing out the absurdity of the rules, ie: cheating is fine as long as it’s not done electronically. It’s all BS and baseball is a silly boys game.
[Reply]

My understanding is they were able to take advantage of hidden cameras placed in the home ballpark and had monitors that the players could see. They can’t rig something like that up in an away park.
