Carlos Beltran steps down as manager of the Mets

Here's the clip of Altuve telling his teammates not to rip off his jersey

Beltran's "niece" is claiming this is the reason why he did not want the jersey ripped off

I would characterize my feelings on this as complete indifference.

No, they certainly didn't. But it would have been funny if Altuve or Bregman got a Gatorade bath after a game and had to endure being electrocuted on live TV when their buzzer short circuited.

LOL

[Bronson]

Wow if Altuve really has a buzzer when he hit that HR then the Astros got off EXTREMELY light.

And there is the Altuve "Don't pull my shirt off" explanation right there. 

Holy shit

Sure she isn’t. Why would anyone believe these scum bags?

Regardless I think it's pretty funny how the tweet still said "this person may or may not have additional information about the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal"

[failos]

But why would his own niece out him? Seems unlikely, but the whole refusing to take of his jersey is super suspicious.

I always was one of the people that thought the punishment was fair BUT if they really had electronic buzzers under their shirts, especially during that homer off Chapman, there should be player suspensions for the next year. Fuck the players union. You have to man up and do it.

[Stradling]

If they had proof of this they would have suspended the players.  That’s a different level.  Even if they were offered immunity for the truth, this is so egregious they would have still been suspended.

Let's see how Altuve's stats are this year.

Remember last year when the off-season was boring?   LOL...

Three would-be contenders hurriedly seeking a new manager less than a month before pitchers and catchers report. Crazy!

Who’s got the popcorn?

Scioscia is waiting for the phone to ring.

Especially his reason for not wanting to take off his jersey

Now I know why Chapman was smiling. He knew.

Is Beltran still a HOF?

Someone claiming to be Beltran's niece broke the news of Beltran signing a few days before it happened and tweeted yesterday that Beltran would be stepping down. 

Now she just tweeted this (now deleted) and now her twitter account was made private

This is hilarious

 

wow. yet another reason why there should have been punishments for players (if this is true, and i hope that it is).
