Lol the entire 'apology' for both players combined was 90 seconds. What a joke none of them even got punished even a little bit

Craine was very unconvincing in his replies. Less than 90 seconds of a reply from the players.

Can't say that I expected more, but this was pathetic.

Why? They came up, apologized and said what they needed to say. What were they supposed to do? What did you expect them to do?

I swear you moral police are the fricking worst.

There’s no remorse or care about any of this BECAUSE THEY KNOW EVERYONE ELSE DOES IT in some way, shape, or form. But they’re the ones that got ratted out and caught. Spare me the bullshite about “playing the game right,” because I’d say the majority of all of them take shortcuts.

Call my response what you will, but grow up. They never were going to give you details. They never were going to come out and kiss anyone’s arse in this press conference.

It’s time to move on.

PS - banners hang forever. It’s not going anywhere and the Astros will be right back in the playoffs again this year.

Time to play baseball.

Are you expecting him to be?

This is where you guys are at....

Saying someone should be sorry. A someone that wasn’t even involved with the team in ‘17.

So is this entire story.

Doesn’t make it any less true.

Coming from a Yankees fan, that’s rich. It was your guy that implemented the entire thing. So guess who was probably stealing signs before he came to Houston. If you don’t think he wasn’t doing it then and just came up with this elaborate thing out of the blue, then you can’t be any more gullible.

It was proven to be an Astros issue. Astros fans claiming everybody didn't doesn't mean it happened.

Crane looked like a bumbling idiot.

This just keeps getting worse.

Seeing the Astros fans be in denial and defend their team no matter what is unreal.


They remind me of Baylor fans defending Briles to the end and still do.

Yeah that was McGwire’s opinion also, but obviously didn’t make it true.

What’s getting worse?

Draft picks were taken away and their manager and GM were fired.

There’s literally nothing else to do but move on and play baseball. Yet, he we are and people want what? That’s my issue. What else is there to do?

Because rape and stealing signs are the same thing.
