Have you not noticed that with the Astro fans on this board?
They are trying to deny cheating by saying either:
A. EVERYONE IZZZZ!!!!!!
B. We must have sucked at cheating cuz it didnt help us!
.230 (roughly) difference in home and road OPS. Previous 5 years the average team is around .025. Sure, let's blame it on the weather and say it had no impact.
I dont think they should be stripped of the WS necessarily, but their fanbase on here is having an absolute fricking meltdown trying to defend it.

And it’s also a proven fact that they’re still the champs.

Oh I've noticed. Their fans are absolute idiots. They want nothing to do with real discussion.

no. it's the other team fanbases who are having meltdowns.
and yes, EVERY team in EVERY sport on the planet "cheats" / looks for any advantage possible. it's just a matter of who gets caught and who the media CHOOSES to create a story over. the media isn't going to attack the bottom feeding teams. they go after the big dogs. the champs. hence why they go after the Patriots every year. hence why they went after the Red Sox. the Saints. the Astros, etc. ... teams who recently won titles.
regardless, none of that stopped the Astros from being the best road team in baseball. they consistently beat arse on the road. oh and also ... they still got that World Series trophy. so opposing fanbases can cry all they want, but just know that YOUR team "cheats" all the time as well.

quote:Carlos Correa said they tried to do it during the playoffs but it was impossible because of the crowd noise and also because teams were using multiple signs and they weren't able to decode them in the first place.
2) If banging a trash can was the mechanism for relaying the pitch type to the batter, how did they execute this during the postseason when the crowd makes a lot of noise while the home team is batting?

You're barking up the wrong tree baw. I have never said anything about losing the title. It was 2017, it's really irrelevant whether MLB strips it or not. Doesnt mean anything. Astros still won.
But yes, you're rant was an absolute melt. Saying anything about this cheating is "false propaganda" is absolutely melting.

Eh, there are plenty that fully admit all of it
There are also some on the other side that are melting because some astro fans won't get on their knees for them.

what's truly Lulz is all of the shrimp dick-having Yankees fans who live a thousand miles away from their "team", and their franchise has been trying to buy championships for decades.
top of the payroll almost every year and 1 fake championship to show for it in nearly 20 years.

We cheated. I don't think anyone is denying it. Justify is the word you were looking for

*your ... not you're
it is false propaganda. the entire "scandal" is heavily exaggerated and was created for news headlines. why do you think the media goes after the Patriots every year they win another Super Bowl? "cheating" scandals from top teams create sexy headlines.
they went after the Astros just like they do the Patriots ... they're not going to go after the Florida Panthers because no one gives a shite about bottom feeders.

I dont think I have seen a single Astro fan in any thread admit it without an asterisk.
Meaning, they either say "every single other team is cheating"
Or they say "it didnt help us any because cold weather away games"
Like just admit the team cheated their arse off. It isn't going to impact anything. It isn't going to impact any of the players (other than Beltran) legacies. The still won the WS.
Trying to deny or spin it just makes you look like a bitch though. They did it. They got caught. It was proven.

This is fair.
Far cry from what most other Astro fans on here are posting.
