I’ve actually sat with those RF drumming fans in Oakland and believe me, they’re way too drunk to steal signs. They probably steal cars though.

Racist.

Yeah and he tweeted it at 3:37am Houston time. He’s losing sleep over this.

Rob Manfred is probably dreading being the Commish right now. It’s going to be really tough to answer for this sh*tfest. It’s really a bad situation that seems gets worse everyday. Yep, we can certainly check Houston off of Cole’s shortlist.

maybe that's so they can watch their pitchers warming up in the bullpen. 

 

 

okay, maybe not.

me too. it's incredibly annoying on the tv broadcast. it's like having a swarm of bees in your ears the whole time.

they also need to deal with the cowbells in tampa. since there's only 37 people in attendance, it should be pretty easy to find the culprit.

I would like to invite you to a LAFC game. Be sure to bring your earplugs.

Has anyone done a video of “Hitler finds out the Astros were cheating” yet?

I dunno.  But it reminds me of my all time favorite.    I nearly gave myself a heart attack laughing...

Interesting.

I thought the same, but then on Effectively Wild they brought up that this drop was predicted by the projection system, along with a lot of new batters getting at bats. Make of it what you will.

of course Luchnow knew.  and Hinch.  and everyone.  But in typical fashion, the Astros are gonna try to pin it on this one guy.  They'll try to dodge and parry like a bunch of douche bags at first and then eventually issue some sort of bs statement that they're kinda sorry but didn't realize it was wrong.  

from top to bottom, that entire org is filled with people willing to do the most unsavory things to get an edge.    

After the Taubman press release fiasco, there is nobody believable in the Astros organization.

I’m thinking a year suspension for both Luhnow and Goldstein, I’d probably do the same with Hinch, then loss of first rounder for two years and loss of International signings for three years.  

This works for me

Unfortunately, this scandal will just fuels the Astros to win. After Spygate and Deflategate the Patriots silenced the haters and the press by winning. 

Taking away draft picks is the best form of punishment imo. 

You're the one who thought that Taubman had been provoked.  Your opinions are less than worthless.
