“To go public with it and call them out and start all of this, it’s hard to swallow.”

@jessmendoza
on former Astros pitcher Mike Fiers revealing the Astros sign-stealing scheme.

Let me get this straight: Jessica Mendoza is "sad" for baseball that ... a player spoke to reporters about a really big problem within the sport, which was greatly shifting the playing field and damaging careers? That's what she is "sad" about?

I love the Mets and selfishly hope Carlos Beltran isn’t fired… but blaming the whistleblower for uncovering a horrifying and widespread cheating scandal is CRAZY. Just completely appalling.

Probably the first time she's said this.

I can understand it, it was pretty shitty of him. If he is so upset about how the Stros cheated, he should return his WS ring right?

Off topic, is Mendoza pregnant or is she getting a little chunky?

Yeah I heard that on Golic and Wingo...the other athletes in the room all took her side, Wingo took the other side. I'd imagine most athletes would take her side

Kinda like the government, we're probably better off NOT knowing a lot of the stuff that goes on.

Would she feel different if she was a fringe pitcher in the major league looking to stay in the big show but gets shelled by the Astros because they know what pitch he’s throwing?

What about a fringe pitcher trying to make it as a starter and adds on some pine tar and now equals the amount of no hitters as Max Scherzer and Randy Johnson?

Why does anyone care what this broad has to say about baseball?

I love the sounds of a baseball game. Her voice throws the whole thing off on SNB. It’s just audibly dissonant to me.

It’s like if some producer thought it would be slick to add a banjo track in Cult of Personality.

I’m with her on this - Fiers comes off looking like a weasel.

Still think opponents should have been smart enough to realize signs were figured out and change things up.

There is only so much they could do. And this had been brought to the attention of MLB behind the scenes several times to no avail. It took Fiers going public for anything to happen.

So is defending a guy that sat back and got a ring while the cheating was going on, then let his new teams know about it to their benefit, THEN finally, 2 years later, opened his mouth.

Chickenshit if you ask me. I'm assuming his ring sits in a box in the attic if he's so sickened by what happened in 2017.
