re: "I like how the game polices itself"

Figured you would be in here. The few of you need to form a support group so you can all cry on each other's shoulder.

Sweet. Let’s get the Astros Manager, GM, and first round draft picks back. And then go play ball. Players will get beaned. Astros pitchers have free reign to throw inside also. I’m all for it.

These dudes team cheated their way to a title and they get butthurt people are talking about it

Someone should have brought the chin music when they heard a trash can

Apparently everyone knew but no one was policing it then

It's pretty obvious the majority of players are not pleased with what Houston did.

Are Houston folks really saying the majority of the players are wrong for how they've reacted?

you know that cuts both ways right?

How so?

How so? You said it's pathetic that grown men are white knighting for "losers" who don't know who they are. Well, people are also relentlessly talking shite about those same guys who don't know who they are. So, like I said, that comment cuts both ways. Nothing anyone says here makes a hill of beans difference to the players involved, so I really don't know why people continue to beat this dead horse into the ground day after day. It's not like anything new has happened either, yet, day after day, people need to remind everyone else how much they hate the Astros an the players involved. We know. I'm not even an Astros fan in the least but it is growing pretty old seeing thread after thread about the same tired topic. This thread is a perfect example. This isn't even a new story at all, yet here we are.

However, I don’t buy that the other players had no idea what was going on, one. And two, I don’t buy that they all weren’t doing it and that it was only the Astros.

I mean I just don’t see how anyone can come to this conclusion.

Red Sox we’re doing some shady shite clearly, but you really don’t think anyone else would have snitched by now if it was as rampant as you believe? Opposing players knew they were getting signs, they just didn’t know how they were so efficient at getting it right no matter how many times they changed things up.

I think a lot of people are getting caught up in the fact that every team tries to steal signs in every single game, but that doesn’t mean every team or multiple teams, were doing so with the tech Houston was. Manfred told teams to stop after Boston with the apple watches and Houston didn’t heed the warning.
