Can't speak for Astros fans collectively, but Crane probably said closer to what I wanted to hear than anybody else at any time.
Listening to Sean Casey talk about it afterwards on MLBN is more of what I want to hear.
Go ahead and speak the truth, but the league isn't gonna let that happen.
Personally, I don't need anyone to help me feel better about it. The data just doesn't support that the Astros benefitted from these efforts, regular or post season.
The only video/audio evidence I've ever seen was CWS vs Evan Gattis that resulted in a K.
With all the microscopes out looking for the smoking gun that could prove game changing results, this is the best they can do?
I was at every WS game at home in '17 and '19. You can't hear a fricking thing in MMP.

Nah, I'm excited as hell for the 2020 season and I'm relishing the sky screamers like you. Only thing that concerns me is that this level of salt intake can't be good for me. YOLO.

Remove "everyone else" and replace it with "other teams", and those are objective facts.

I'm kind of smiling about all the melting going on in here, and in the baseball world over my Astros.
I get it. They got caught cheating and shouldn't have done it. I don't disagree. They deserve to suffer the consequences. But I don't give a frick what anyone says. The Astros are still the 2017 World Series champs and always will be. The night of November 1, 2017 was one of the happiest nights ever for me knowing my Astros won it all when I never thought we would even come close. Yall aren't taking that away from them and me so just deal with it.
Geaux Stros at the end of the day. Keep melting Yankee and Dodger fans.

Bingo.
Pitchers all throughout the league past and present said they would rather face guys on roids rather than guys who knew what was coming.

Sure. Let’s do that. That’s the equivalent of telling a college football program that they have to forfeit a few games in 1975. Means ZERO. Their banners still hang. No one cares.

I'm down for that. It's like USC in 2004. You can go ahead and put an asterick there but everyone knows who won and at the end of the day no one gives af.

What was the actual rule that they broke? I'm not really a baseball fan so maybe I'm missing it. But I can't find a rule when using Google. I just see an unwritten rule.

Best question of the day was some idiot from NBC News...I forget the exact words but it was something to the effect of
"In a time when the nation is divided over using cheating to win...."
surprised he didn't accuse the Astros of being Russian agitators

The Astros are cheating pieces of shite and their fans are pathetic for defending them and their actions. Yes, they deserve to have their championship stripped. No, it won't happen because major league baseball is scared to admit how bad this looks for them.

I noticed.
Deep down, they get it.
But it doesn't stop the need to have excuses and direct blame.
I would be the first tell you how disappointed I would be if it were known that any of this shite actually made a difference.
I have rewatched every critical moment in the playoffs and looked for anything even suspicious. Can't find it.
And DATers may remember me on at least a couple of occasions during the '17 regular season, mentioning that the Astros must be stealing signs well. If I had sufficient motivation, I would look them up and post them.
As soon as I felt we may have an advantage, we would go on home losing streaks.

Yes, with fastballs to the earhole. Altuve might shatter the league record for HBP this season.

They made the Yankees and Dodgers their bitch in the postseason and now they are all a bunch of dick sucking whiners who scratch their arse and smell their fingers after.
