I think the Red Sox and Yankees should also fire their gm's.

  • Here's the thing that makes me absolutely livid about this... Cheating happens all the time in baseball. At all levels. All levels. The MLB itself cheats the game by juicing the ball. Players juiced t

    It's not the end, I agree. The Astros are still sacks of giant shit, though.  Shame on them.

    Very sad to see that the Astros are basically dipshit cheaters from the top down. Hey, at least the Black Sox are happy that someone else is wearing their crown of infamy.

I’m starting to wonder if a player gets a suspension 

If this Altuve, Bregman wearing buzzers thing gets legs, then maybe.

SHOCKED that jomboy ran with uncorroborated information.  

So MLB did an investigation and didn’t find this out? Must have been TOP MEN

Red Sox did fire theirs at the end of last season, but not over this.

Well it's twitter.  And he's Jomboy.  Sooooooo

wow.  if that is true....i'm pretty impressed, and also saddened.  Of course, altuve swinging at shit freely kinda dispels this.  dude is a free swinger for sure.  Bregman is not a free swinger at all.  

Well, we want to see his production when he doesn't know what pitch is coming, amiright?

His violent swings when he (presumably) knew a fastball was coming we’re a back injury waiting to happen.
Maybe he manages to stop dropping to a knee as often this year

I thought the vibrating band-aids was practically common knowledge at this point

Maybe explains Altuve not wanting his jersey ripped off in game 6.

Either way, what else is going to come of it at this point? What else is mlb going to ask/re-open that they didn’t get comfortable with the first time.

Also the starting pitcher for that same game was...you guessed it. Mike Fiers.     His stat line: IP 1.2   Hits-7  ER-6    BB-4

Can Jomboy please fuck off back to irrelevancy. Stirring up bullshit for clicks, it’s insufferable. You really think that Mlb wouldn’t investigate that before reporting their findings? Fuck outta here

I used to defend the heck out of Fiers as an unheralded hero of the 2017 season.  He carried a big load while a lot of pitchers were hurt.  Now it turns out that he is a big load.

The more i think about what Fiers did, the more it aggravates the shit out of me. He was fine with it when he was on the Astros, but now he has essentially ruined the professional lives of at least 4 people in the sport.

Deetz was just DFA'd off the 40, maybe a move is about to be made. Actually the move was made a week ago, he cleared waivers.

That was done when Pruitt was traded for I am pretty sure 

If it is ever proven that Altuve wore a buzzer when he beat the Yankees, the Astros will be dead to me. They’re on thin ice with me as it is.

You serious, Clark?

Hey you Yankee fucktwits. Who the fuck was a special assistant to your GM in 2018. You think the fucking mastermind behind the Astros sign stealing just stopped if was proven to be successful.

Lol,  wearing buzzers? GTFO here

I'm not a Yankee fuckwit, but it wasn't Beltran.  Beltran was hired by NYY in 12/2018.  I asked in the main thread what he did during the 2018 season, but no one offered an answer.

That means he was there last year.

Also, the New York Yankees cheated their way to championships the 90s and 2009. That happened.

He says that he took a year off to be with his family, but his niece tells me that he was actually building lifelike replicas of Gio Urshela and Luke Voit that are actually good at baseball and were swapped out for the real ones last year.

Shit's gotten out of hand when Golf Digest is covering this:

so i'm sure i've told this story before, but i had kinda forgotten about it...

late in the season in 2015, after gomez and fiers had been acquired, we went to an astros game in anaheim, and as we typically do, sat down close in the astros friends and family section.  we were having a discussion about them, and i said gomez was talented but was kind of a hot dog, but who knows, could be good for the team, energize them, whatever.  but i didn't say much about fiers because there wasn't much to say.

there was a group in front of us - a family with kids, but they were also with a couple women in their 30's.  and most of them had some sort of brewer shit on, but obviously they had good seats in the astros section.  they kinda joined in our conversation, and didn't explain how, but they definitely had some personal knowledge of the two former brewers.

contrary to what i had been saying, one of the women said, "carlos is actually a really sweet guy, like, the best....but fiers is a fucking snake."

and i remember thinking, that's kinda harsh language in front of a stranger, i wonder what he did to her (or to someone she knows).  i did not ask.

way to live up to your rep, hombre.

I feel like if you’re gonna step out of your lane, you should fucking understand what the word “confirm” means.

Oh look the media is making up stories with no proof of anything. This should be on cnn any moment now.

I love it, you start blaspheming the name of Altuve and shit is going to get real quick. This is going to fuel the Astros in 2020. The entire team is going to bitch slap a lot of pitching. If Oakland was smart, they will never let Fiers start against the Astros this season. They will be taking shots at him.

I’m okay with both teams giving up the DH in their games vs. each other this season.

Hmmm

 

  • While Reds president of baseball operations Dick Williams warned The Athletic’s C. Trent Rosecrans and other reporters “don’t expect anything imminent” in terms of near-term roster moves, “I think it’s very possible that we’ll see additional free-agent signings or potential trades.  I’m pretty sure there will be some changes between now and camp.”  The signings of Mike Moustakas, Shogo Akiyama, and Wade Miley have already made it a busy offseason in Cincinnati, though the club still has some question marks at shortstop, catcher, in the bullpen, and whether or not to add to an already-crowded outfield mix.

Carlos Gomez retiring.  


Hader, Brett Phillips, Domingo Santana for Gomez and Fiers.  That turned out even worse than everyone thought.

I think Adrian Houser was also included, and he had a pretty decent start to his career last season as well. However, the Cy Sneed for Villar trade was much worse.

There is really very little difference between banging on a trash can and wearing a buzzer. Once you’ve taken the larger step to bang on a trash can, adding a buzzer isn’t much of an ethical leap. It just makes the cheating more efficient and hides it.

but who knows about the buzzer story. Maybe it’s true. Maybe not.

whats confusing to me about this whole cheating story is that you would cheat in front of others that are very likely to be on other teams at any point in the future. So either you are counting on some unwritten rule to stay quiet, or every team has some type of cheat scheme working.  But others teams have complained about the Astros for several year but details were never revealed. Until fiers.

I never thought this would be the topic of discussion during this offseason. I am already pretty bummed that guys like Altuve and Springer didn’t put a stop to the electronic sign stealing gig, but I swear, if Jose was wearing a buzzer, I’m gonna be freaking crushed

Boy are you going to be upset when you find out college football players get paid under the table.

Can anyone explain why the buzzer thing took off? The claim came from an account that has been revealed to be bogus. I understand that the Astros have lost the benefit of the doubt, but why has this gained mainstream traction?

I saw it in casino, card cheats passed messages to one another using the same system
