    Astros using sign stealing devices during WS run

    If they aren’t dealt the death blow penalty like we were.... I’ll be mad about it but eventually get over it

    Brandon Taubman is being waterboarded at some unknown location in Manhattan. Don't think he'll hold out long.

    That isn’t proof of anything. Sure it looks obvious. But the league has to investigate. Not just go off twitter video.

    Imo this isn’t getting enough press.

    The pertinent rule wasn't yet in place in 2017 though, was it?

    If this were the Braves we would have already been forced to forfeit draft picks for the next decade, and ordered to remove Acuña from our team and him placed on the Yanks or BoSox. And forced to listen to Jack Flaherty and Yadier Molina lecture us on how to play the game correctly.

    To be fair, If anyone thinks this is relatable to what Coppy did. Me thinks they are naive too.

    How is this not worse ? They had outrageous home and away splits, and won the GD WS this way.

    This is like someone scuffing a ball or corking a bat. It was gaming the system to win. Copy lied about finances to gain extra players. He tired to cheat not only the league but players as well.
