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
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
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

1 THOT-AUDITOR 2019-11-14
Aren't lonestar-cels more likely to be Rangers fans? Houston's kinda its own thing.

"Luckswing" is the preferred nomenclature

Oh I thought you were going to say it was black guys.
1 pepperouchau 2019-11-14
Nah, the astros are basted

Cheating is the only fun part of baseball.
1 CucksLoveTrump 2019-11-14
Stealing signs and spitballs are a good and right part of baseball. Anyone who says otherwise is a fucking casual
1 EugeneOneginAndTonic 2019-11-14
Carl Mays did nothing wrong
1 jamesdakrn 2019-11-14
Stealing signs with electronics is against the rules & is cheating
stealing signs w/ your runner on 2nd is 100% fine
1 GeauxHouston22 2019-11-14
my only regret is that we didn't cheat even more.

look at this dude lmao like get a fucking grip my man. it's a game
1 CrosbyStillzandSwag 2019-11-14
Yankees fans getting self-righteous about Osuna was the funniest thing ever to me, considering that Chapman's allegations were better corroborated

Unfathomably based post.

I had to upvote when my gag reflex kicked in from reading "marvel criterion collection"
1 Ravensthrowit 2019-11-14
Honestly I would prefer my team cheat, get caught, go through a national scandal, and get punished over how the Marlins did it.
1 GeauxHouston22 2019-11-14
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
1 pepperouchau 2019-11-14
Would giving Altuve the Gattaca treatment to make him taller count as performance enhancing?
1 Coonass_alt 2019-11-14
If you ain’t cheatin you ain’t tryin
1 HodorTheDoorHolder_ 2019-11-14
Imagine cheating and still losing the World Series
1 missmurrr 2019-11-14

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