Freaking cheaters. They need to put an asterisk in history books that they won in 2017 by cheating.

Easy there....you know what they say about glass houses.....Yankees have been mentioned in same sentence with cheating scandals. If you think for a second that the Astros are the only ones that cheated, you are sorely mistaken.

Luhnow to texans gm spot.
Hinch to texans HC
OBrien to Astros manager
Cranes nieces daughters step-son to astros GM
Fiers to grease spot under some fans truck.

What the Astros did can ruin a pitchers career.

They need to forfeit the trophy.

Where did you see this?

From a buddy. Said it was Passan on Twitter reporting it but not there now. Maybe he took it down because it hadnt been announced yet. Who knows?

You think a single pitcher lost their career because the WS Champs lit them up......

Just curious because I couldn't find it. I find it odd since he was mainly involved in amateur scouting and the draft.

Which is why I was a so disappointed the scope of the investigation wasnt broader. There were several other teams suspected but they are getting to walk on it. The Astros are the scapegoat of the cheating scandal. They get that wear that badge.

If they get some evidence that Cora was doing the same thing in 2018 for the Red Sox, then they will get hit with a bigger punishment than the Astros.

No they don't. The people responsible have been punished.

He was Luhnow's right hand man though in 2017. Probably an erroneous report that go ahead of itself in that the reporter didnt do his due diligence before putting it out there. You know.....you gots to be first to report it and then we can verify it later.

For sure, though Passan is considered one of the more conscientious baseball writers.

I think Cora is going to get smashed by the league when the Boston investigation is done. With him being the supposed mastermind and then taking it to another team it isnt going to be pretty for him. Hinch got suspended 1 yr and fired for turning a blind eye to it. Cora has to get more.
