    Well he is hurt anyways. And the Dodgers were accused of cheating the Injured List rules when it became a 10-day deal...

    Funny to read about how he then tries to claim he wasn't trying to start any trouble during the game that led to his suspension... if he was on trial, these statements would scream probable cause/intent.

    If anything, that would merely add games to his suspension, not reduce them.

    Him defending Cora is entirely predictable... and he's all but saying that the Red Sox players were better because they didn't tell MLB anything (after MLB already showed their cards/set the precedent that they would not be stripping any titles).

    In the end, however, Olney just won't let this story go. He's probably going to buy a summer home off the clicks. There's pandemics, court proceedings due to clubhouse deaths from drugs, potential plans for a bubble for the playoffs... but he's reporting on the comments of an idiot cursing during a podcast.

    Such a prick. Not to mention the fact that he was on an entire team of cheaters (yes, lead by Cora... but that's not the point at all). Kelly kind of reminds me of people on the wrong side of politics, but stick to their beliefs come hell or high water. Logic like Kelly's just doesn't make any sense. Yes, we cheated in 2017. Not good. Yes, you also ****ing cheated in 2018. Therefore, you don't get to take the high ground *******.

    The last few posts sum it up for me regarding this sniveling little D bag so I got nothing more to say.

    So if he's really mad about the snitching shouldn't he be mad at Fiers for starting this ****?

    Can we sign carlos gomez just to pinch hit when kelly is in, so they could fight and then we just cut him?

    **** this guy.

    It’s **** like this that makes me wish the Astros were more aggressive in their comments about what the rest of the league was doing. Keuchel is the only one I can remember even hinting at it and Crane more recently.

    He came from a team of cheaters. I wonder if anyone will have the balls to call him out on it.........

    MLB/MLBPA handled the whole affair so badly, its not surprising there are reactions to it. Dont anybody take anything I am saying as defending Kelly in any way shape or form, but MLB did punish (caused to be punished in the case of firings) the wrong people. They did show bias when it came to what to reveal about cheating, and they show no intent to set things right.

    There’s no chance anyone says anything at this point. They saw what happened with the Astros. I doubt even Fiers says something if he expected this kind of aftermath.

    The MLBPA had a say in what went down. Kelly’s a moron if he wasn’t aware of that. Of course for him it’s all hyperbole. Don’t let facts get in the way Kelly.

    Wonder how JoKe reconciles his anger over snitching vs his teammates's anger over possibly being screwed out of a WS?
