    I have not seen anything said about this "scandal" from Justice or Gammons.

    Have i missed it?

    Insufferable, gate-keeping Dbag.

    Justice talks about it all the time on his podcast. I stopped listening because he’s on the Passan-Rosenthal bandwagon.

    Sucks right now, but let the super-biased hate reign.

    Maybe another ring is our commutation.

    can you imagine the fallout if *anyone* related to the Astros (let alone their manager) had a video like Girardi’s surface today? Yet it’s been crickets. My god. Enjoy WWE folks. Hopefully we can overcome the absolute charade that is this league is for the love of baseball.

    sidenote, I’m thinking about putting money on Correa or Altuve for MVP. I know it’s n award given by the media...am I crazy?

    Can you imagine if Felipe Vazquez was on the Astros or the Angels/opiods situation happened to the Astros? Now that would be fun to watch

    That's a great idea Buster. We should do that for everything.

    "Hey, I know I sold you that car for 10k last month, but a lot of people, including my direct competitors, complained that that was too cheap, so I'm gonna need another 5 grand from you."

    "I know you got sentenced to 5 years in prison, but a a lot of uneducated people complained about how lenient it was, so we're going to tack on another couple of years. That's fair, right?"

    Saw a prop bet in Vegas today on the number of times the Astros get hit by pitches during the regular season. They’re taking bets on how many times they get thrown at. It’s going to be a LONG season...

    Rangers manager went on MLB Radio talking about how "weak" the Astros penalty was.... "they only lost TWO draft picks".

    He said his friends in Houston must now explain to their kids that the Astros "cheated the game". Yet he made zero mention of baseball's long history cheating.

    Then a host said, "Astros did ALL the wrong, ALL the wrong".

    Guess he really meant, "Astros did ALL the wrong, ALL the wrong, except what the other teams did"."

    It's so non-masculine to ingore facts that don't help one's narrative.

    Chris Woodward was the Dodgers third-base coach in 2017. He’s not an unbiased party in this matter, and I could careless what he thinks the Astros‘ punishment should have been.

    Y’all realize the MLB deep down enjoys this - no one is EVER talking about baseball like this before October. Casual fans will now be tuning in more often to games like Hou/NYY.

    Yup, Houston going to be flexed in and added to as many national games as possible...the ratings of a Houston vs LA world series would be mind blowing.

    LOL oh no you reported me. You going sit around and let the whole league **** on us? I'll stand up for the team no matter what they've done. Anyone who attacks my Stros, I take it personally.

    Isn’t this the same manager that was bragging about his adeptness of stealing signs?

    I'm tripping because he doesn't even know what the penalty is -- FOUR picks, plus a the GM (arguably the best) and a manager getting suspended.

    Like Correa said, "if you don't know, STFU" --- not you, Woodard.
