Boom! Astros get ASS JAMMED by MLB

[D-train]

Umm they got a World Series ring....for a year off wouldn't you wish the M's had the balls to do the same thing?

Nope I definately wouldn't. Everytime that their World Series win gets brought up it's going to be tainted just like Bonds homerun record.

Best case it will be almost a 50 year wait for me and others. I want that WS title to be pure as the driven snow.

Astros fired both of them. I'm thinking that is pretty much gonna force the Sox to axe Cora once his discipline gets handed down, but who knows...

Way worse penalty than I anticipated! No sympathy though, they didn't need to cheat but still did it.

Hey congrats on your first post and welcome! I agree!

That's how I feel. Unfortunately, they won the championship and everyone else got screwed. What's done is done and all you can do is punish. Even when they strip titles from collegiate teams it doesn't mean anything, the games were already played and whoever came in second can't say they really won because they didn't get the chance to do it on the field or court.

On the lighter side, I wonder if the Mariners do it too. Except our guys get on second base and are so surprised they forget the signals.

They got what they deserved, Hinch will forever be tainted like Lance Armstrong, You can’t bring up the wins without the asterisk. Wish there was some way to go after the players as well, they obviously were in on it...

This quote is a little odd

As Crane told reporters today, it was obvious that both men were aware of and did not intervene to stop the sign-stealing.

What do you mean aware of......... who the hell put the guy out in the field and the garbage can banger in the clubhouse....

Ok more info I didn’t see

Cora was involved in developing both the banging scheme and utilizing the replay review room to decode and transmit signs. Cora participated in both schemes, and through his active participation, implicitly condoned the players’conduct. I will withhold determining the appropriate level of discipline for Cora until after the DOI completes its investigation of the allegations that the Red Sox engaged in impermissible electronic sign stealing in 2018 while Cora was the manager.

You can't really go after an employee for not blowing the whistle.

Yep, that pure driven snow is keeping me off the golf course today...

Guessing Joey is shedding a tear for him right now.
