Lol. Best SP pitchers, gone, hadn't been there all year. Best hitter, gone, hasn't been there all year, best CP, gone, once again not a factor all year. Now they can't hit because they aren't cheating. 4th straight ALCS? Check. Lol
No way the Astros get past the Ray's or Yankees. I don't care how hot the bats get. But they won already.
I agree that they won't win, but they might win a game!
Question for you: Was the plan with Greinke in the WIld Card to pitch him 4, and have him ready for game 3 if needed, OR a game 2 if necessary? -

Greinke was hurt. wasnt even announced he was gonna pitch until right before the game -
Cheating years ago I can understand it a little bit more because the players made no money unless you are a superstar. Those players had regular jobs also aside playing ball. The big payout was the playoffs and the World Series . So the piece of garbage Astros are in fact a piece of garbage!!

That is fair.

Haters gonna hate!
It is to be expected. It would be awesome as heck, tho, if the Stros did find a way to pull out another WS Championship for this bizarre season. Yes, this is definitely an "asterisk type of year," but it would be a bit of sweet justice - #Redemption. I would be beyond happy, but I wouldn't brag like would have in the past. I would sit back and revel in amount of seething hate all of the haters have to offer and just celebrate with my city!
I am so proud of this team for putting together something worth rooting for! Like ChuckCLC said, it's a longshot, but they've given themselves a chance! Let's keep it rolling! Plus, I am loving Carlos Correa talkin' the talk and walkin' the walk! You CANNOT argue with his playoff results, so far!!! Thumbs (and maybe just a teeny-tiny bit of a middle finger) way up!

If they won this year, that would be interesting... Not sure what everyone's reaction would be. Probably angry and saying they cheated again. lol

For the astros to be acting the way they are now with this "us vs. the world" attitude is astonishing. with their hands by their ears, taunting the crowds and teams. It really blows my mind that these are ADULTS acting like this

You get caught you get crucified.
The 1951 Giants also cheated with a sign stealing scheme at Polo Grounds.
It’s different when it’s electronicly
