The Heat Is On The Astros

Never mind, I obviously misheard.

If it's not over 83.5, I'm going to be upset. The Asterisks and commissioner have made a mockery of the sport with the handling of this entire situation. ZERO remorse from the players, and they're going to pay for it hopefully. Manfred has made matters worse by disrespecting the World Series trophy, and trying to protect the players by saying beanballs won't be tolerated.

Needless to say, I'll have my popcorn ready.

The Astros have brought this upon themselves. Unfortunately the bean balls will probably come with suspensions. It's going to be an interesting season.

Boohoo


MLB teams have always done whatever they could get away with to steal signs. The Astros just did it better than it's ever been done before. No, wait - the '51 Giants did it pretty well, didn't they?

There is a good reason why Manfred the Wonder Commissioner hasn't gone after the players: as soon as any individual player starts suffering, he'll spill the beans, and it won't just be Astros beans spilled. This will turn into a nightmare for baseball.

Anyone remember the shot heard round the world? No, it's been forgotten except by you guys collecting Thompson/Branca memorabilia.

The Astros have no recourse against the rest of baseball or they would have used the recourse after they lost picks and personnel. The 1951 Giants didn't cheat to win a World Series either. In case anyone forgot, they lost.
