re: DAT Offseason Thread: Sorry Not Sorry. Still 2017 Champs.

MLB was never going to do anything to the Yankees, especially with Manfred at the helm. Messing with the Yankees is messing with MLB’s bottom line.

What’s pathetic, though, is watching Buster Olney (Mr. Yankee), Marc Carig (Yankees beat writer for The Athletic) and other Yankee homers in the media (who write like they're fans) continue to hammer on the Astros as if they have a grudge about the Astros keeping their beloved Yankees out of 2 of the last 3 World Series.

The coverage will only get worse because we haven’t even got to full-squad spring training yet. And every time the Astros visit a city this year, every local media dipshit will come out to play “gotcha.”

I just wish someone would explain to me how Astros cheating was the reason the Yankees scored 3 runs in 4 games at MMP in the 2017 ALCS. Someone point this out to that dipshit crybaby CC Sabathia and go tell him to eat another pizza while he’s crying.

The whole buzzer thing is such bullshite. There is ZERO evidence of anything having to do with “buzzers”. They’ve never been accused of it, they’ve never been outed by a player, and there is no evidence of any kind. Zero.

It was made up out of thin air by people on Twitter.

I mean, what is a buzzer even? Is it something you can buy and link up to a phone using WiFi? It’s all so stupid.

The most ridiculous thing isn’t that some idiots invented a conspiracy theory about buzzers, but it’s that it’s being taken seriously by people and media members when there isn’t a shred of evidence that points to a “buzzer” or anything similar.

What do you want him to say?

It was his first year with the Astros. You gonna come in and tell a bunch of veterans to stop? A bunch of guys that are hitters when you're a pitcher.

Especially when the manager didn't stop it

It’s not like this was something that was going on for 5 years. They established the tech to diffuse signs the September before he signed.

He was there when it originated. It’s fake remorse to satisfy the masses. He didn’t give a frick because it gave him an advantage when he was on the mound.

It’s just all bullshite to keep pushing the faux outrage.

Like was it someone like Beltran leading it? The Mets seemed to feel it was right to fire him. Same with Cora, while not a player, did he help coordinate any of this?

You should read the full report from Manfred. Not a summary. Not someone else’s recap... but the full document. It isn’t that much, and it is very simple to follow. And the questions you asked are clearly answered In the document.

"Beltran told the Astros their sign stealing methods were behind the times." ~ Guy who spent the previous 3 seasons with the Yankees.

Hmmm.

This is Officer McCann, drop your your fricking weapon now!!!

The Yankees do to downtrodden hitters what we do to downtrodden starters.


Cameron Maybin was ridiculous last year after being a mediocre journey man

Seems like the phony outrage from the players and other front office staff is because the Astros did the same shite better than them.

The lynch mob media can't let this shite go. They're living off the hate clicks. I'm guessing someone *ahem* Drellich *ahem* is sitting on some "bombshell" to drop right before the season starts.
