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

Houston.

Didn’t Trevor Bauer also use this stuff to increase his spin rate, win a Cy Young, and get a $40 million a year gig in LA?

Fired Angels employee names Gerrit Cole, Justin Verlander

“Hey Bubba, it’s Gerrit Cole, I was wondering if you could help me out with this sticky situation,” the pitcher wrote, adding a wink emoji. “We don’t see you until May, but we have some road games in April that are in cold weather places. The stuff I had last year seizes up when it gets cold.”

And he’s a Red Sox fan whose manager is Alex Cora who was 100% behind the whole setup and won the World Series in 2018 lmfao

I love threads that begin with an OP which starts off with:

Hey look at me everybody!!!

And then quickly follows it up with, “Look how dumb I can get.”

Good. Now do Mookie Betts. Played for the 2018 Red Sox who were accused of cheating.

God damn, some of you fricking Astros haters expend a lot of energy performing mental gymnastics to put everything on the Astros while denying your own team’s sins.

Let me help you people with this one more time: There are 30 MLB teams and every fricking one of them has employed a cheater and benefited from cheating at one time in their history. Have fun justifying it.

TLDR: Astros win in 2017. Deal with it.

The Astros and their fans are like the democrats of MLB. Always cheating and then crying when caught.

Pathetic.

Astros fans are easily the most easily triggered as well, but I felt that was too obvious. Look at this thread

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

You may want to delete this before Manfred sends his "associates" to your home to educate you about the fine history of the LA Douchers.

“Hey Bubba, it’s Gerrit Cole. Could you get some sticky stuff for me and Justin? We’re the only pitchers in the league using anything, and it’s because we play for the Astros.”

"It's hard to see this when you're giving out 10-game suspensions for cheating but you give the Astros no suspensions at all," Rodón said. "So if Rob Manfred can look at himself in the mirror and say, 'Hey, I'm doing the right thing,' that's fine. You can't suspend the team you actually knew was cheating during a playoff game, that's on you."


You almost feel bad for the Astros and their fans given what their reputation now is. Poor guys.

This is from six months ago and everyone has already discussed this, but thanks for bringing this up again.
