Dan Patrick on Astros "Apologies": "They made it worse."

I know we have some diehard Astros fans here who have tunnel vision regarding this scandal, but obviously Dan Patrick is right about this. I mean, Altuve and Bregman looked like programmed robots reading their pre-approved and rehearsed "apologies," and then they were immediately removed from the press conference to shield them from taking questions. The owner had the audacity to say that stealing signals didn't impact games, but then reversed himself when confronted about that idiotic statement.
Oh, and the whole question about using buzzers in 2019? Simply saying that "Major League baseball didn't find anything to corroborate that" is a really, really bad answer.
Just for the record, I'm a FORMER Houston Astros fan.
6-minute video.

Why force apologies onto people that aren't wanting to be apologetic?

So brave.
There's nothing they could have said to satisfy those who want blood. Nothing, and they knew it. I don't blame them for being short and not bearing their souls when they know they're just going to get shite on afterwards.
Crane is a moron, but that's not on the players.

Apologies like this are pointless. Nobody believes you are genuine. Just say you broke the rules,you understand their are consequences for that, and move on.

It makes me laugh that Bregman has never not cheated since he came up to the bigs, lmao.

Didn't the Astros lead the league in hitting into those last year?

Thank the Lord that you are. Don't come back now.

This is honestly one of the most impactful cheating that has happened in the MLB is a long time, if not ever. It’s bigger than a ref throwing a game or players using steroids.
Anybody who turns a blind eye to this is a disgrace.

Love Dan Patrick. I need to start listening to his show again.

They never should have apologized. No matter how their apology went out was going to make things worse.

A former fan over a scandal that didn’t involve children like PSU?

Definitely true.

Kind of...but not really. They were going to have to make statements and make these apologies just to move past it. That's what this was. It had to happen. It was never going to resolve the issue. But, they needed to be put on record. And, they were. And ,they didn't really say anything substantive. Frankly that was a win.
But, this issue is going to be hammered over, and over, and over again. No Astros player or coach is ever going to be able to address the issue satisfactorily no matter what they say. These "apologies" were just a necessary evil.
The reality is that the championship is forever tainted. Only Astros fans will think it's legitimate. Until/unless the Astros win another championship, this is going to be a cloud over the organization.

Be honest, you were never really an Astros fan.
