Yes it’s a serious post. First those are 4 players on a 25 man roster. Second you don’t have to blatantly say you’re sending a player down because they aren’t cheating. You could trade them as well. Third it’s virtually impossible to ignore information you’re given whether you want it or not.Quote:

Nothing would stop the players from reporting this to MLB. I think they’re smart enough to figure out why they’re getting the banishment treatment. Also, no team is going to get rid of 4 of the best players in the league because they won’t wear a buzzer. Newsflash: those players are superb talents without it. Who are they going to replace them with?Quote:

So why don’t you idiots tell me exactly how players like Gattis, Aoki, Moran, Gonzalez, Davis, ect get to say **** you Hinch Cora and Beltran I’m doing this the right way. Cause to me that sounds like off the team talk.

You sound like you're in a similar circumstance
Just when I thought this thread would ride off into the sunset. Someone gone and did something dumb to bring it back.
Shame on Mac for trying to enforce the play the the game the right way rules but looks the other way when it gets him a ring.
I think a good punishment for the Astros would be to ban them from hosting any postseason games over the next 2-3 years. Let them go to the playoffs if they make it, but make them go on the road for the whole thing.
Apparently BMac did try and get Beltran to stop.Quote:

Data collected by Astros fan Tony Adams found Beltran was among the Astros players who received the most signs via the trash can banging system in 2017. McCann was on the other opposite end of the spectrum. He was among the Astros who received the fewest.
**** you for trying to tarnish Mac's nameQuote:
