Bah it should be their in the title.

LMAO it’s fucking over for lonestarcels.

Aren't lonestar-cels more likely to be Rangers fans? Houston's kinda its own thing.

Burger ball drama

😴😪😴😪

"Luckswing" is the preferred nomenclature

Oh I thought you were going to say it was black guys.

Cheating is the only fun part of baseball.

Stealing signs and spitballs are a good and right part of baseball. Anyone who says otherwise is a fucking casual

Carl Mays did nothing wrong

Stealing signs with electronics is against the rules & is cheating

stealing signs w/ your runner on 2nd is 100% fine

my only regret is that we didn't cheat even more.

Idk how much you guys cheated this postseason, but it was pretty funny how often the Stros offense would score a bunch in the first and then go cold the rest of the game. It was like sneaky analytics and identifying tipped pitches was the entire approach, not that its cheating or anything

yeah I mean we cheated and we'll get dinged some picks and a big fat check, which is fine. but the theatrics that doyers and jankees fans are doing in /r/baseball is absolutely comical

look at this dude lmao like get a fucking grip my man. it's a game

Yankees fans getting self-righteous about Osuna was the funniest thing ever to me, considering that Chapman's allegations were better corroborated

all these /r/baseball reddit tards think every game they watch features a good and morally just team VS a bad and morally unjust team. they're too simple to understand that in the long history of baseball, all of these teams have cheated to get ahead. all of them have employed wife beaters and racists and shit. most seem genuinely clueless to the history of the game tbh

Unfathomably based post.

I had to upvote when my gag reflex kicked in from reading "marvel criterion collection"

Honestly I would prefer my team cheat, get caught, go through a national scandal, and get punished over how the Marlins did it.

yeah same. I know exactly what it's like to a marlins fan, the astros basically were the marlins 5 years ago

shit fucking SUCKS. much rather be hated than completely irrelevant

Would giving Altuve the Gattaca treatment to make him taller count as performance enhancing?

If you ain’t cheatin you ain’t tryin

Imagine cheating and still losing the World Series

this is from 2017 when the astros won. somehow my nats pulled it off this year.

DCcels pls go and stay go.

please no bully.

Seriously everybody, right now just take a breath. A lot of information is coming out and more will be sure to come to light in the coming days. I'm still processing it all and I'm sure you are, too - I know I've wavered back and forth on things in my head several times already.

You are allowed to have contradictory, complicated emotions right now. At this point, you don't have to defend anybody or call for anybody's head. YOU ARE A FAN. You were a fan before these allegations came out and you didn't have anything to do with the actions of anybody in the front office, dugout, etc. You are allowed to take your time to sort through the facts and your feelings... and as you sort through things, you are allowed to change your mind, too.

In the meantime, take the high road if you see any mudslinging going on. Feel free to turn off your sports news for a while and not rush back to it. Don't feel obligated to denounce the team, but don't feel obligated to justify them, either. Feel free to let things simmer a bit before you comment, post something, or get into a debate with a friend.

That is all.

Not to be all "LOL SPORTSBALL" but, fucking lol sportsball

Excuse me, this is a safe space for posters sickened by rarditer cliches, get the fuck out

That thread is pure cope. Every pitcher in the league uses line tar for their grip
