The only way Alex Bregman gets the monkey off his back with the whole sign stealing debacle is if he hits 30+ HR’s again and Avg. .280+ He has to show that he really didn’t need to cheat to do what he did last year in terms of his hitting numbers. That’s the only way he salvages his name in all of this. He has to show it didn’t matter either way. If he only hits 15 HR’s next year and Avg .230 questions will be asked about how much his cheating contributed to his hitting numbers.

Im sorry, but his reputation is ruined. He looked like a jackass ontop of that.

Wtf.

He had more homeruns (41) and a better avg (.296) last year (2019) than the he did the years they cheated (2017, 2018).

You're right...it's still waaaaay too early to determine if Alex Bregman is good at hitting a baseball.

This whole scandal couldn’t have impacted a better guy

Glad it happened to him and that this will be his MLB legacy

Completely agree - does his performance go down and was it truly an aid, or not

Astros should have just said it was fake news and blamed the media.

This just in:
quote:

Alex Bregman signed a 5 year / $100,000,000 contract with the Houston Astros, including a $10,000,000 signing bonus, $100,000,000 guaranteed, and an annual average salary of $20,000,000. In 2020, Bregman will earn a base salary of $11,000,000, while carrying a total salary of $12,666,666.

What were you saying again...?

I have rooted for the Astros since i was a teenager. This whole thing is painful to watch. What makes it even more painful is how smug and hubris everyone is being all the way from Crane, to Hinch (even now), to Bregman, Altuve, all of them.

his reputation is ruined. somethings you can't come back from, at least not 100%.

if i had to chart a course for him, it would be to get out of Houston (which i understand may be a contractual problem). the reality is the Astros also have an image problem. Players for the astros in those seasons that moved on dont seem to have quite the same shame cast on them.

If Bregman could go somewhere else and do really well, after a few years im sure he would largely make this an asterisk.

Frick Alex Bregman! He didn't cheat at LSU, so he's dead to me!
