and that mobster was/is trump lol
ok, maybe not. but who the fuck knows with how far this story has already gone. so much for the ball just being juiced. the awful truth behind the inflated number may indeed be even worse.
shame on every single one of those cheaters. why have they escaped punishment for cheating?
Can someone summarize whats going on. I don't even get the technology part and ive read through most of this thread.
Not sure. The NCAA bribery scandal a couple years ago was pretty big. It had bribery, FBI involvement, the arrests of an Adidas executive and multiple coaches, and a couple of the biggest coach firings in recent memory.
imagine the PR nightmare of punishing a player for talking about the cheating, and none of the players that actually cheated
He isn't talking specifics about the investigation. Nothing should happen.
True, forgot about that one. It even had strippers involved paid for by the companies. RIP Rick Patino.
Yeah this doesn't hold a candle to corporate/management backroom shenanigans, but as far as actual cheating during a professional sporting event this is pretty up there, especially if these new allegations hold any water.
Jose Altuve stuff is damning. Unreal. This is turning into the biggest cheating scandal of our time. He should get a lifetime ban.
Heb* will have to do a total revamp of their commercials for april.
* mega Grocery chain here with lots of altuve et al.

MLB needs to get their priorities in order if that's true. That or all the players better speak up at once
I would think/hope that he wouldn't get in any trouble for that tweet. He could argue he's speaking hypothetically.
Man I need to find some articles I have no idea what this is about now.
The account was made private before it was deleted and was put out by reputable sources. It definitely is not photoshopped. You can also look at the comments Cora made about Beltran after he joined the Yankees in London and the seperate accusations that the Yankees were utilizing Yes network cameras for sign stealing. Also they were fined for using dugout phones to relay signs in 2017
If you think your team (whoever they are) are innocent, you are simply fooling yourself.
Added the video, relevant clip is in the first minute. Why can't everyone just play fair like the Yankees?

Seems like the reason why the Astros were confident they could get away with such blatant cheating is because they assumed that outing them would start a chain reaction of mutually assured destruction. They expected their players to keep quiet because countless MLB players have kept quiet about countless cheating schemes.
The MLB's "harsh" punishment makes sense as an effort to stop a chain reaction.

Man now I really hope the Dodgers aren't found to be guilty of anything.
Well, that and trading for Darvish instead of Verlander...
I think the union would have a field day if the league tried to do anything for this tweet
The players were only going to be held in line until someone broke the silence. Now they'll all have things to say.
I love you man.
My team is super terrible and probably too stupid to try and cheat.
I hated the Astros before all of this as they made us their punching bag from Day One in the AL West. This just makes it worse.
Let's just say that they'll need some sort of signal to warn about frequent "high and tight fastballs"
Are there any legit reasons to grant a therapeutic use exemption for HGH? If Mike Trout is dirty, I will be very sad.
Edit: Referencing the new allegations that MLB has been letting Trout juice consequence free via a loophole.

dodgers suck bad if they were stealing signs and still wiffing so much
Twitter was blowing up with this stuff and him and underage girls. This is a summary thread with all the screenshots. I'm like 50/50 this is legit or the opposite that Astros fans will go to any length to blur the story here. The evidence is pretty damning there but hashatgging #2017 not so much.
