Every team in baseball cheats. It’s part baseball, always has been. Bregman is great. Having a rough series though.

Ya..so are 90% of the pitchers he has faced that throws 97+ mph with ridiculous spin rates. They’re all using spider tack or sunscreen or whatever. It’s baseball.

Cora came to Houston and convinced them to try that BS sign stealing nonsense that didn’t end up helping at all. Sad

I played Division I college baseball. If you pick up the pitcher's signs as a base runner in the middle of a game, that's part of baseball. But when you put an entire system together the way they did, that goes way beyond the spirit of the game and it is cheating to the highest degree. Stop making excuses.

True..but they really didn’t use it that often…and it was only at home. Pitchers on EVERY team are using foreign substances EVERY game to give them an advantage. The spin rates we have been seeing over recent years has gotten ridiculous.

Seriously? Nearly won MVP after all that. Stupid is as stupid does.
What I love is how EVERYONE fails to remember that the Astros were better on the road than at home in 2017 and they Yankees and Red Sox were both caught and I believe the Red Sox lost draft picks. They shouldn’t even made the playoffs.

Then the Yankees couldn’t hit for shite in that series away from Yankee stadium.
The Astros won that series At LA.

Flashforward to today and they are there a third time in 5 years.

In 17 they had Verlander, Cole ans Charlie Morton. Just dominating SP.

They

I love baseball but as someone who played cricket at good level. I find it ridiculous and insulting that the pitchers had to be told what to pitch.

In cricket, sending signs to pitcher is cheating by itself. You are pro and you need to be good enough to asses the batter and find the perfect pitch.

May be it is baseball thing.

One of the greatest Tigers of all time. Caught up in a tough climate. He’ll end up being mentioned with the elite of baseball.

Boston lost draft picks and the Yankees among them were caught as well.
For Yankee fans, go look at the box scores. Can’t win if you can’t hit for shite.
Verlander, Cole and Morton fricked their heads.

If you’re an Astros fan, he’s great fun to watch. Pulls off his fair share of fielding highlights.
