    Also, all of the Yankee fans going hard on Correa saying they can't believe ANYTHING they say...

    Yet Cole goes to the Yankees, basically says when he got to Houston he didn't know anything about it, but that's acceptable?

    So either Cole or Correa, one of them is lying but Yankee fans can't say that Cole is being truthful while calling Correa a liar.

    All these players tend to be friends off the field and you didn't see anything like this during the steroid era. It almost seems scripted. Baseball has an decade-long decline in attendance and interest. And now suddenly the top teams in baseball hate each other and have an ongoing feud? Whenever the Astros play any of a bunch of teams now, there's going to be tons of interest and coverage. Is there a better way to generate interest in the sport?

    Assuming that people are using this as evidence about his tattoo? If so, that picture is over a month and a half before game 6 of the ALCS.

    Guess Rovell doesn’t know how to read since Correa mentioned the wife thing first AND then the tattoo

    An Astros/Dodgers WS would shatter records.

    Yup, because obviously he couldn't have gotten a tattoo in August, September or October...

    Man, I love Correa and Altuve even more now. That was a pretty awesome smack down.

    I can see how the tattoo comment wouldn't settle well with the haters, but you get a bad haircut, bad tattoo, scar, etc, you're gonna be self-conscious about it. And him defending Altuve, makes sense considering the data we have. I hope all the players take a lesson from him. He is completely owning what they did in '17 but speaking out about the misinformed crap being spread, and defending the teammates that didn't want a part of it.

    The Dodgers are among the most pathetic, biggest hypocrites in the sport. They are so analytically driven that they will pinch hit for certain left-handed or right-handed hitters simply because the opposing team made a pitching change in the third inning. Also, Chase Utley’s sole job on the days he didn’t start was to try and steal signs from the dugout. Then, you have the story that described how the Brewers suspected the Dodgers were electronically stealing signs during the 2018 NLCS.

    People on the internet are idiots and they use ANY excuse to pile on.

    Think this is going to be a LONG season.

    But even the Yankees biggest fan had this:

    LOL Dodgers are on a 32-year drought and same with the Yankees (11 year drought; have been eliminated by Houston 3 of the last 5 years)
    And the Red Sox (not quite the same). Lost to the Astros, hired their bench coach, brought his sign stealing with him & won the WS the next year.

    Little ol' Astros beating the Coast teams, America's favorite teams, the teams who (can) outspend everyone & expect to win. :D

    #sorrynotsorry

    And I hope they do it again this year!
