I would suggest to level the playing field, the Astros should be allowed to set up their “system” at all MLB ballparks.

This might give the opposition a sporting chance.

Whatever “system” they had or have for the past 3 seasons would clearly show an advantage at their home park, and a disadvantage on the road.

This is exactly opposite of what has occurred on the field.

Please explain to me what sense it would make to even want ANYTHING to change if you’re competing against the Astros at MMP?

It's an issue for MLB and the players specifically orchestrating the cheating more than any specific team.

I’m a big proponent of cheating if it helps my team win.

I’m honest about that.

Your takes are awful. This whole thread is full of them from Astros fans.

-it’s a moot point because it’s a 162 game season? The Astros played 179 games this year and it all came down to 3 innings. This game has a funny way of coming back to the little things.

-you all have thrown out the disgruntled former employee aspect. Good thing that’s covered now.

-baseball is a game of technology...so Houston should be allowed to use it to steal signs? Wow...also pathetic.

-someone referenced that the Saints were shite on after winning a title (re: Bountygate). Yes...’the man’ is sticking it to the NOLA and Houston teams.

-you guys have covered that you think the rule is stupid

-“if your signs are being stolen, then change them”. Sign stealing isn’t the problem, it’s the use of technology to do it. No gamesmanship in that.

Between your trashy asst GM and this, you guys are a poor reflection of that fanbase.

They had the best record in the history of MLB for a 2 year period 2017-2018 ON THE ROAD

Please explain in detail how they did so well on the road, but managed to barely break .500 AT HOME, where they had the advantage of cameras and stealing signs?

Face it, dude. The Astros and Dodgers have been the best 2 teams at playing baseball over the last 3 years. One of them won a championship. Stealing and cheating didn’t have a damn thing to do with it

My point about bountygate was not about "the man". It was about sore losers finding excuses why a traditional power or "their" team doesn't win.

Yeh Saints cheated, Astros cheated. Surely there is no way they could win legitimately. Right??

The Patriots have cameras and deflate the ball too

But they have Tom Brady and Bill Belichick by coincidence

As the article points out, they were cheating.

May not be THE reason they won, but it’s is one of the reasons they won. Nobody is saying the Astros are scrubs and needed to cheat. It’s the fact that they did cheat along the way. Nobody gives a frick about the toad statistics and what not. The Astros were stackkkked.

They’re still a good team. Who knows why they struggled at home compared to the road. You do know that baseball is full of anomalies.

Who knows why the road team won every game in the 2019 World Series?

The Saints didn’t ‘cheat’ in the sense that the Astros did. If you don’t see a difference, you are blind.

You are trying to tie two completely different things together. Try again...

No, dumbass.

“May” not be the reason they won?

There’s actually a greater chance it “is” the reason they lost

Do you comprehend?
