A's and Astros not practicing social distancing

New MLB guidelines state " before throwing a punch everyone must stop, check everyones temperature, and put on a mask"
A's and Astros are out there acting like its not 2020.
Seriously though both teams need to be punished, this can't be allowed to happen.

I get the frustration about being hit multiple times and being mad, but as a professional you have to control your emotions.
As a professional? The Astros were banging on trash cans to cheat their way to a title like they were the villains in a made for TV coming of age sports movie.
I understand the point you're trying to make about keeping your cool, but calling out another team for being unprofessional after what the Astros got caught doing is absurd.
Astros were dead wrong for cheating, but throwing at batters heads (Kelly) and rushing the dugout (Ramon) are wrong as well.
Throwingat Ramon was not?
3-2, 78 MPH curveball, really??

Do you consider the Astros a professional organization given the past few years?
If they were the only ones doing it, no. Red Sox did it, Yankees did it and got swept under the rug and who know who else. Sign stealing, steroids, PED's are all forms of cheating. Cheating has been around baseball since it begin, it's not right but being naive that the Astros are so bad and the only ones is totally off base.
No where did I say that the Astros are the only ones that did it. Thanks for answering my question though.

Those guys are playing to win and get paid, and if you can't handle some trash talk maybe you should be in another profession.
I think the best part of this was seeing how much of a little B that Astros coach is hahahaha dude legit motions laurano to come at him, laurano did, the guy backs up gets scared, two guys jump in front to block laurano, then the coach half puts up hands, basically out of being scared, laurano gets tackled and the coach backs up away from the scuffle. Like dude may be the ultimate little B, motions for a fight and when he gets it he proceeds to be a coward. This dudes gonna get mocked by every team and every fan once their allowed back in. I think that’s the biggest take away in all this

Yup he turtled. Honestly though if a coach in hockey (NHL) does this it's a instant suspension/fine.

Ya cause in hockey the coach actually wants to fight lol Just focusing on the Astros coach is a good laugh, backs up with all that then steps forward after Laurano is stopped then backs up again when more A’s players show up. Ultimate fake tough guy moment haha

I feel absolutely terrible for stand up former Astros like Nolan Ryan, Mike Scott, all the Killer Bees, even Mr Personality himself Jeff Kent. Guy was a [censored] but at least he played the game the right way. This current bunch of Astros are a bunch of cheaters and they are not one bit remorseful. In fact, quite the opposite. Now they’re out there beanin people. Got a coach runnin his mouth. Just a true embarrassment of an organization. I still remember the initial streams before the game launched. They wouldn’t say one word about the Astros on the streams. Just on to the next card lol. As it should be......don’t even talk about em.

Ikr? Astros hitting coach should be suspended for provocation. Provokes Ramon and stands back like a coward as his Asterisks do the fighting for him. Seriously? If you're going to start a fight, you better be in the flipping dog pile. Smh

Update: MLB has suspended the Asterisk's hitting coach for 20 games. They also suspended Laureano for 6 games, but Laureano is appealing his suspension.
I hope they grant his appeal.

Indeed. Coaches are supposed to set the example, not make derogatory remarks about someone’s mother.

Just love how people are so two faced on these message boards. So let's look at the St. Louis Cardinals.
Found guilty and punished for hacking into the Astros scouting database.
Had one of the biggest cheaters that ever played the game, you guessed it Mr. Steroid Mark McGuire.
It was suspected that Tony LaRussa, ex Cardinal manager, was one of the early pioneers of sign stealing back in the 80's.And yet you criticize other teams for cheating, maybe you should look in the mirror before you run your mouth. And how are those current day Cardinals doing?

If we are talking about looking in the mirror, how about starting with the Astros fans that defend their team.
These guys should just keep their mouths shut and take their lumps, not instigate brawls.

Nah, its a 60 game season were nothing counts anyways. And no one will hit them. And you have no big league pitchers. Start fights and finish them if you can. Gotta love it. Play the role of bad guy when you can, because it dont last long.
