I always remember hearing things when watching Astros games specifically, like banging sounds, or whistles, and found them odd, but just dismissed it to being crowd noise.

Re: Astros Sign-Stealing Punishment: Luhnow, Hinch suspended for one year
Beltran was on the Yankees bench this offseason. Cora addressed their series in London against the Yankees where they got beat to a pulp. He winks when talking about how Beltran was the Yankees MVP'. Cora was forthcoming in hindsight and said the word "device" all on his own. Beltran was either on Houston or Boston (too lazy to look up).ForCaleb wrote: ↑Wed Jan 15, 2020 9:16 pmHoly shit, that’s bad.bubu dubu. wrote: ↑Tue Jan 14, 2020 10:51 pm I watched this video of the cheating in game 7 of the WS in 2017...after watching it, I feel like the WS title should be stripped.

Other than the natural advantage of their lineup versus the Twins' staff and BP, is it plausible to suspect the reason they mashed so much was because of this technique? Did Marwin Gonzalez know this by being on the '17 Astros and was able to negate this? I want more answers on this stuff. It causes me dislike MLB to some degree . And what the hell is up with the baseballs? MLB is skeevy too.

Mauer just said on Skor North that sign stealing is as bad as steroids. Guess that erases any doubt about his 09 season.

If players do indeed get pegged on this too, the hammer needs to come down on them hard. This is worse than steroids, IMO. At least pitchers still had a chance then.

I’m not saying to take the WS away, but I think an asterisk is at least warranted.

The joke of this is how do you as a pitcher not know that every time you throw a fastball they bang a garbage can? I would have wasted 2 pitches every at bat throwing a garbage can fastball into the dugout at the manager.

A former Blue Jays reliever is suing them over this.
Mike Bolsinger got rocked by the dirty cheaters, and then was sent to the minors the following day, never to see the majors again.

I like how Altuve didn't deny he used a buzzer but simply said the investigation didn't find any.

Dusty asking the baseball world to forgive the Astros. GFY Dusty, you weren't involved until now, and you want forgiveness so it makes your job easier.

I haven't heckled a ballplayer since Albert "Joey" Belle (not my brighest idea), but I'd love to get close enough to the field to let these scumbags get an earful.

I won't be surprised if guys throw at them. I can't believe none of the players got in trouble.

This. You can't give it to the other team but that year shouldn't have a World Series win. This scandal is up there with Pete Rose

Their first Spring Training game is next Saturday against the Nationals. Washington should refuse to come out of the dugout and send Manfred Mann a message that more needs to be done.

If your Chapman and you're facing Altuve, what would you do? Hit him, throw up and in a few times or just let it go?

Correa came out and went after Bellinger and doubling down that the Astros won "fair and square". People are siding with the Yankees over the Astros. Even Twins fans. Do you realize what pieces of shit you have to be to have Twins fans side with the Yankees over you?
