I"m sayin' ….
Smokey out here scrounging the bargain bin for comments to help his case for keeping the piece of metal.
Let's see if anybody goes after Correa or Springer when/if they hit FA. Cheaters and all. Surely nobody would want them on their team, amirite.

Another baseball player turned MAGA dickhead. Giving Curt Schilling a run for his money.
Aubrey Huff has been scum for awhile. I remember him ranting about how he believes "toxic masculinity is good actually". Haven't seen him lusting after Iranian women before though what a creep.

By Smokey Go To PostSo would welcome the signing of either former cheaters on the Mariners, mr ace?why not?
But that doesn't change the fact that an entire organization, from front office down, created a cheating scheme and ran with it.
Maybe in new, non toxic environment they could do better.
By Smokey Go To PostThanks.lol imagine trying to spin a player leaving the astros to another team as vindication for cheating
Just a question m8s

nobody claimed you were in denial. lol
We see that you know... but every other post about how to justify it is hilarious

I havent justified it tho. I said the reaction, at this point, is doing nothing but dragging it out. Like I said, you're basically asking for a ex to give you a reason for her playing you, and none of the answers are gonna be what you want to hear, so keep it moving 🤷♀️

Your week Ass sorry not sorry not sorry game is dragging this out. Also the fact that all players are skating and MLB has acted like feckless cunts.
Lebron calling out MLB for the sake of all sporting integrity now.

Blame the commish.
Astros gave their response. Like it or not. Keep on dragging it tho, by all means. If they dont care they dont care , dunno why you're trying to force players into doing the opposite. Which probably makes them assholes, but it is what it is. Keep it pushing or keep answering the same questions everyday despite a new season around the corner 🤷♀️

No it’s your job to blame the commish for your continued heat. All blame falls on the cheaters
By Smokey Go To PostIt ain't my job to do anything 😂
Yes I know this is your stance. Just get mad everyone else ain’t just moving on.
I suppose we can at least take comfort that the entire Astros organization apparently found Jesus and, with no prompt whatsoever, decided to stop cheating before 2019.
Praise the Lord.
Praise the Lord.

I mean dude on MLB Network just said it's time to move on. Not my words. Smoltz also said the Dodgers had a chance to win the WS even with all of that going on. The Astros won 2 road games to win it. Again, not my words.
Maybe if Bellinger handled up in one of those 2 games at home..

If they perform this year sure. But why am I gonna give a multi year contract to a guy who knew what pitches were coming x percentage of the time?

You should not have even been at the show. This is a losing narrative you're continually spouting. Here I am again waking up to movement in this thread and it's the astros fan keeping it moving.
Act like the cheating didn't matter when the road vs home splits are monumentally huge gaps.
"We cheated but we don't know if it mattered. We don't think it actually provided a competitive advantage. Altuve actually hits worse when he knows the pitch is coming so really we were just trying to help the opposing team!"
So why'd ya do it?
"spouts nonsense about game 7"
By Fenderputty Go To PostStuff
"spouts nonsense about game 7"
Bellinger plays average you win the WS. Simple
Maybe cheatin' George can help out when yall sign him to a contract in FA
By Smokey Go To PostBellinger plays average you win the WS. SimpleYou keep saying that like it makes sense... If anything it is like saying the Astros weren't good enough to be in the WS so they needed to cheat so that made the field even which is ridiculous..
Maybe cheatin' George can help out when yall sign him to a contract in FA
By Fenderputty Go To Postit’s like you post to prove my point, thanks.
Weird 🎣
What should happen to the Houston Astros then. You're not going to get the trophy . So? A stripping of the title ? Will that somehow make you feel better and whole again?
I keep posting the way I am because players are acting like this was the worst thing that's ever happened. They cheated. It is known. Baseballs history is full of cheaters. Everybody should get a beating on the Astros and all of the other ridiculous stuff that's being said would have you believe this is the first time cheating has happened, and NOBODY else is doing anything for an advantage in any shape or form. It doesnt make what the Astros did right, but you'd think the entirety of baseball is so pure with this *outrage* that we are hearing.
By blackace Go To PostYou keep saying that like it makes sense… If anything it is like saying the Astros weren't good enough to be in the WS so they needed to cheat so that made the field even which is ridiculous..
Astros were cheaters in 2017. Went to WS.
Didn't cheat in 2019. Went to WS.
🤷♂️
By blackace Go To PostLost 1 and won 1
guess which one they lost 🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
Let's not confuse managerial decisions with lack of cheating for why they lost. Up in the 7th inning and pulls Greinke and it's a GG.
But they got back there. Will probably get there or come close again 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
With all of the extra base runners they're going to see due to clubs being petulant, it should allow for even more runs and legitimate sign stealing
Then how about let's not confuse a player playing poorly in the WS with a systematic cheating scheme that gave the Astros a serious competitive advantage?

We gotta move on.
And for the record, I don’t want a retroactive trophy. I want the year vacated. It’s the second biggest cheating scandal is MLB history next to the black socks. The response from MLB is jokes and you’re lucky the backlash is t worse considering.
Wonder how much chin music you’ll play with this year? Wonder if it would be less if fans and players didn’t feel like that have to take matters into their own hands?
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Red Sox legend David Ortiz expressed his displeasure with Oakland A's pitcher Mike Fiers, the whistleblower in the sign-stealing scandal that has engulfed baseball for the past few months, saying that the former Astros hurler should have said something in the moment about the infamous trash-can banging scheme instead of waiting until he was on another team.
"I'm mad at this guy, the pitcher who came out talking about it," Ortiz said at JetBlue Park on Thursday. "And let me tell you why. Oh, after you make your money, after you get your ring, you decide to talk about it. Why don't you talk about it during the season when it was going on? Why didn't you say, 'I don't want to be no part of it? So you look like you're a snitch. Why you gotta talk about it after? That's my problem.Why nobody said anything while it was going on?"
Finally somebody in the media raises the important questions
A whistle blower has something to lose, a snitch has something to gain. Ortiz is a fool who’s potentially caught up in this.
Also ... I thought we moved on. Why u posting about this still?

If we’re being completely honest, the real snitches are the players who came clean only when granted immunity after the fact

naw
By Fenderputty Go To PostNobody with something to hide does. I’m don’t hear many people complaining about fiers
i guarantee you a lot of players feel the same about fiers. he broke a cardinal rule in any sport, not just baseball. he still hasn't returned his ring or anything associated with that team afaik. return any and everything related to that team if you were that upset about it.
