If it were an amateur championship, it would have been vacated by now. Since it’s a professional league, I think there’s some sort of unwritten rule that none of us is above trying to get away with cheating. Astros cheated and won a title before getting caught. Therefore, I think you’re right. No vacate, but a hammer is coming.

I just want to say how fricking dumb the Astros are for providing proof of their cheating in their WS video

No, if you vacate the Astros title the next thing you know the Cardinals will be wanting the 85 World Series title vacated due to Denkinger's blown call then some other team will want a title vacated due to something else or another and you will opening a Pandora's Box for every team to complain about a World Series title needing to be vacated for whatever gets their panties tied in a knot. You can punish and disciple the parties involved via fines and bans but once you start taking away championship titles you will have a Popeye's chicken sandwich like line of grievances being cried about by teams and their fans.

Why do fans care about stupid shite like "vacating titles"? Those games happened. The joy they received after winning the championship happened, the experience. Wtf is vacating a title going to do

I never knew there was so much butthurt from the MLB blue bloods towards Houston. It’s the baseball equivalent of this

I mean the Red Sox used Apple Watches to do the same thing. There were no inquisitions, calls to vacate wins. Hell the MLB fined them “an undisclosed amount” and you haven’t heard shite about it since.

Half of you people are trolling these threads. And the news media leading the crusade are absurd.

You had an admitted cheater in ARod leading the charge during the ALCS. Talking about “integrity of the game.” Think about that.

Well for a guy like me, a Rangers fan, if it did get vacated I would have something to troll the Astros fans with until they win another one.

It doesn’t really ‘do’ anything for me, it would just be really funny.

Manfred comes out with a statement to say solely Astros, yet key figures involved now are managing Boston and New York.

Very thorough, Manfred.

So there are 30 MLB teams and according to manford, the Astros were the only team in the history of baseball that cheated to gain an advantage ? What kind of odds would Vegas give on that being true ?

Are there any actual facts besides Fiers' testimony, which has yet to be cross-examined, and a couple of vids of some banging during a white sox game and a video of altuve walking past a table with a laptop on it in the hallway between the locker room and the dugout?
