    Nobody cares because it's the Yankees. It only matters when real championship winning teams like the Astros get caught doing it. Yankees are peons.

    Yankees need to be stripped of their Divisional Series victory over Cleveland.

    Not to nitpick, but "Wait, What?" was Aaron Judge's sarcastic tweet to a link saying Altuve wore a buzzer. It's only appropriate to use it against him here.

    But I agree with your sentiment. Who cares? I'm tired of the constant rage p*rn. I'm basking in the Astros dynasty.

    "The only Goldilocks balls we obtained from the regular season that did not have commemorative stamps were found in Yankees games."

    "One player told Insider that one of Manfred's top lieutenants warned a players' union official not to let players send any balls to Wills for "third-party testing" and warned that the league could fire any non-union team employees who helped her research."

    Anyone paying attention knew what was going on, the only surprise is that they didn't find them in Pujols games

    Rob Manfred needs to Bribe this Twitter User.

    Rob already paid off the Judge not opening the Yankee Cheating Letter.

    2017 Baseballs in the World Series were juiced and slippery.

    Lance McCullers and Justin Verlander were openly talking about this.

    We all knew MLB was gonna play some BS once they owned the ball production, but the extent to which they've done so is a joke.

    MLB may have chased a huge star out of their favorite market, so congratulations.

    No wonder everyone was so upset when Judge hit a deadball that stayed in MMP. He was used to goldilocks.

    The Yankees don't have to cheat. MLB does it for them.

    According to Aaron Boone he blamed the Open Roof.

    Who Ordered the Astros to Open the Roof.

    When players are that close to career marks, don't they also use commemorative balls? For some reason I remember them doing that like during the McGwire v Sosa battles.
