No players were disciplined by Major League Baseball in the Astros' investigation. While Mets manager Carlos Beltran was part of it, he was a player at the time and thus was not suspended.
Discipline for Red Sox manager Alex Cora is coming. It is going to be harsh, per sources.
That's how these things work, doesn't matter if it's sports, politics, whatever. When the house comes falling down everyone starts turning on each other. That video looks pretty bad. I don't know what you even do about that. Who knows how deep all this stuff really runs. [Reply]

I mean who really knows but honestly the best argument against it is probably Bumgarner. If we had that kind of technology there's no way we let him shred us 3 times like that. Plus a lot of the big moments from those runs were amazing baserunning plays or taking advantage of the other team's fielding mistakes. [Reply]

Given how many people seem to already know about this buzzer shit, it's really hard to excuse the fact that it wasn't in the initial report and the fact he tried to put a gag order on all discussion. [Reply]

Yeah, I think we're good. Maybe milk and cookies Moore will pay off in this case. [Reply]
There is some evidence out there that the Royals pitchers did use things like Pine Tar and stuff that really only Trevor Bauer has loudly complained about, but all signs seem to point that both batters and pitchers prefer it when pitchers use pine tar (better grip = fewer beanballs). [Reply]

Makes me wonder if the league will do everything it can to keep other teams doing this under wraps. They covered up the Jays cheating awhile back. Smoke coming from the Yankees and Rangers, too. [Reply]
