Official Astros 2020 season thread

[Tx.Fisher]

I hear the rangers are looking for fans.

Oh I hate the Rangers, and will still root for the Astros. But the Astros cheated to win in 2017.

Why waste the energy hating something so irrelevant? I mean, I don't like brussel sprouts, but I don't hate brussel sprouts.

Lol. Ohhhh struck a nerve there.

Perspective sucks doesn’t it!?

Not even the slightest!

[rtp]

I for one am looking forward to the season to see how they react and handle it....

Funny how the Yankees org is trash talking tho...like they are the moral authority in the league....
Pettitte, Clemons, Giambi, Stanton, Beltran, McCann....etc

Classic

And let's not forget they were using cameras to steal signs in 2017 as well. They got reprimanded(I know harsh) and fined a piddly sum of money.

It blows but MLB was just protecting their big moneymakers and not the integrity of the game.

It's a business first, game second.

The Astros cheated because it works. Cora and Beltran did not create this method and they have used it everywhere they have been. the both bowed out of MLB for life to close the book on this. Astros will run the table this year.

Interesting stat from Verducci.... doesn't really support the fact that only a few on the team were using it.

Nobody wants to hear that crap...just keep pounding the scapegoat, er, I mean the Astros.

[QUOTE=ACCURACYINC;14721145]For the first time in history people that aren’t Yankee fans will probably root for the Yankees when they play the Asterisks.


You do realize the Yankees were the first time fined for using cameras to steal signs? Busted using the YES Network feed back in 2016 or 2017.

Also, the Red Sox have been busted twice now. First in 2017 for using apple watches and then of course the 2018 stuff when, one could argue karmically, the used the tech to beat the Stros, who had ceased to use it by then per MLB's report.

Lastly, to all the sanctimonious Dodgers fans...

Everyone may not have been doing it, but looks like everyone good was...

That’s the point most have been making. MLB needed to shut it down and this is how they did it. Who better than a recent champ not named the Red Sox Yankees or dodgers. So they threw the book at the Stros.

You'd have to bang the trash can with a nuke to be able to hear it in Minute Maid during that game.
