Houston will get so many HBP that their team On Base % goes up 20 points and they cruise to another AL West crown
Oh, and you do know why Astros players aren't getting punished, right? It's because they got immunity for talking. In no world is a current player going to talk about them cheating unless they know they aren't getting punished for it.
How they gonna win the division when half the team is on the injured list?

Ok with steroid flashbacks but not the Astros lol ok
two different issues. And I'm not ok with either one of them.
But what the Astros did was on an entirely different level.Steroid users get banned. Pete Rose got banned for life. But the Astros players got off without a penalty. Shameful.
The players weren't punished because the union got them immunity in order to find out what they were doing, and to answer your previous question, no I am not an Astros fan.

Oh hell, not only did most not get banned, but one of them has the all-time hr record.
Two different issues, yes, but both issues are bad. The Astros did what they did, and the roiders forever screwed up the record books.

Another day, another thread from the same person.

Oh.
Let's be sure to include TONS of PS Dodgers flashback hitters from 2017 and 2018. Can't wait to see all those bronze and commons.
Combined between the two years, I think LA hit a whopping .191
Keep chirping though...

I’m a Phillies fan I don’t necessarily like the Astros especially after the cheating. But some of y’all acting like they are gonna suck now because of this let’s be honest they are almost more than likely still one of the best teams in the AL. It’s sad because they cheated but the truth.

Butthurt astros fan detected.
I repeat, butthurt astros fan detected.
Proceed with caution, subject is known to produce deadly amounts of tears.

I have never accepted, made excuses nor condoned the cheating.
I'm tired of the stories from people crying though like it's the only reason THEIR team lost.
Astro players have a ridiculous amount of baseball talent. VERY similar to guys that took PED. Bad judgement and a desire to gain an edge makes people do stupid, regrettable things.

Yea I’m not gonna lie I was a massive altuve fan. After the cheating scandal I’ve kinda fell off from being a fan of his. But people are acting like they are suddenly gonna be terrible and unable to hit. Altuve’s been good for years and theirs no evidence they cheated last year and look where they were to end the season. People are gonna be disappointed when the Astros are still really good.

This is why it's so hard to sympathize with Astros fans

Once point you missed. It's the "cool thing to do", which is pile on, beat that horse even while the glue factory has it's recovery team on the site.
Astros fans didn't cheat. Astros fans had a natural disaster destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, had spirit's lifted by baseball and now have disappointment about the very thing that some could say, saved that city in 2017.
But hey, it's cool to be a keyboard warrior.

I think they might skip the Astros this year, think about it how do you even start calculating what the attributes are?
Do the attributes take a hit in their overalls if you take out the 2017 season & if so how much? -
Oh gawd the flu meds are kicking in, that post even confused me.
-
Modern era Astros cards should get a special 'Asterick' quirk which would result in the card always sucking no matter what the stats on the cards say.
-
so what about the 2018 Redsox?? Why not them?? Is it because the media and everyone else ignores that they cheated... and they were caught cheating in 2017 as well. Oh, and the Yankees. So no flashbacks of any of them. Or do we just selectively dismiss everyone else because you just hate the Astros??
-
I wonder if SDS will add any funny crowd sound taunts or Easter egg trash cans and whatnot eluding to this whole thing? Would be pretty funny... but probably legally liable.

Yeah it’s because people hate the Astros. If they hadn’t been so f’n cocky and smug about winning it all the public perception would be different.

In regard to steroids, let’s not forget, the owners KNEW they were on the juice and did NOTHING about it cuz they were trying to get the fans back. Steroids only helped those players recover from injury or helped prevent injury.........which is a big deal, but they didn’t know what was coming. We’re not talking about average joes like us. We’re talking about some of the best hitters in baseball. As much as I can’t stand the Astros, they have some of the best hitters in the world on their team. When hitters of that caliber know what’s coming, the rest is pretty easy!
As for the union, I’m a member of the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers. I am a very strong union man! This is one of those unfortunate instances in which the bad seeds get protected by the union. Instances like this is what has given unions a bad name. Hopefully in the next CBA the owners can negotiate unilateral power for the Commish in instances like this. It will have to be carefully worded so he can’t become a dictator. But I have no tolerance for this kind of behavior. I wish they would’ve been banned from the game.
