Astros stole signs electronically in 2017

Jesus Christ, if true this is egregious. Idk what the punishment even should be, but it should be extremely harsh.

That has to leave them pretty open to law suits, if true.

What happened to the Padres/Preller after the horsefeathers he pulled? Yep...not much. I seriously wouldn't be able to recall without looking up relevant articles. Their system seemingly has taken zero hits as a result of that episode, anyway. I know, not relevant, that tweet just made me recall that.

Well, you're wrong again. If you knew people inside the game, you would know Preller has a bad reputation and many GMs and President of Baseball Ops with other teams were pissed and reluctant to do trades with him.

 

Preller almost got fired over that latest scandal. Yeah, the team didn't get penalized that heavily, but people inside the game were very angry. Teams are very careful now when dealing with the Padres.

Classy moves today by the Astros. Force Bregman to read a prepared statement, take no questions from the media (for the players), then shove Dusty out there to answer all the questions when he wasn't even involved

Well, admittedly I'm not inside the game like you, but I am aware Preller took a reputational hit after that episode, something that again doesn't have obvious negative effects. My recollection is that he was never actually known as a "good guy" though perhaps my memory fails me here. "Almost fired" doesn't really count for me as a punshment, but I get opinions vary, in all sincerity.

Now THAT is a guy stoned out of his horsefeathering gourd.

Unfortunately for the Astros, this story ain’t going away - nor should it. Manafort needs to revisit the punishment. What a bunch of bs.

I read that whole article a couple of hours ago and my God Trevor Bauer is a national horsefeathering treasure. No posturing, just a half hour of hard, pointed logic of why the Houston Astros are disgraces.

Only in the context of the country being a neverending waking nightmare these days, sure.

Admittedly, I forgot about the thing where he basically cyber-stalked someone on Twitter, that was shitty and bad. Baseball could use more candidness like his when it comes to on-field stuff, though (and it seems like the Astros have opened that up, at least).

Yeah, the Twitter bullying/stalking of a random teenage girl was like one of a zillion things this Ben Shapiro-wannabe has [expletive] out over the course of his career. Even setting politics aside, he's just a prolapsed anus of a human being.

When will the Dodgers apologize for a roided out Manny Ramirez in 2008?

Tony Kemp still sucks, but I like him a little more now.

Maybe he meant that Trevor Bauer is the human equivalent of the National Treasure movie franchise?

Now Altuve has to actually get a crappy tattoo to try and sell the bit.

That's more ridiculous than saying it was because of his wife.

...Altuve's answer stood out as not just sincere but commendable -- the sort of thing other players in baseball in different circumstances would respect and the rare instance, in this whole scandal, of someone not obviously acting in his own self-interest. Altuve could have absolved himself. He could have gone full Shaggy...

 

That's fantastic lol

Dusty coaching these clowns is going to make this even better.
