Verlander and Cole both saw significant increases in RPM rates once they arrived in, you guessed it,


Houston.

One got a half billion dollar deal after his time in Houston and the other saw a resurgence while condemning cheating.

Spider tack is much different than rosin and sunscreen.

Banning everything altogether is a bad move.

You’ve been mad about the Astros for an incredibly long time

I agree. You don’t see the type of changes in spin rate with sunscreen and rosin like you do with Spider Tack.

Rob Manfred has handled this most recent Astros cheating scandal poorly just like he did the last one.

So what you're saying is not only do the Yankees buy championships but they buy cheaters too?

Glad we cleared that up

Saying someone is melting is a typical deflection from an uncomfortable discussion the smooth brains don’t want to have.

The Astros are once again at the center of a cheating controversy. Spare us the childish rebuttals of We StIlL WoN and make an attempt at engaging the topic.

It has nothing to do with the Astros. If you look at the Astros pitchers this year before the enforcement of the rules and after, the Astros pitchers appear to be some of the cleanest in the league as their spin rates have not changed.

You know which team has seen the biggest drop in spin rates after the league decided to enforce the rules? The Dodgers.

I mean, I think they all know they cheated to win the World Series… they just aren’t worried about it assuming every other team was also doing the same shite
