Props to SDS for changing the Altuve moment title…

My favorite topic...
Yeah, Astros cheated.
A bunch of veterans on the team didn't. McCann, Reddick and contrary to popular belief (especially this forum) Altuve didn't either.
Specifically to the shirt tearing, there was a previous game in that Altuve smacked a walk off hit. When he got to home plate, teammates ripped off everything. During the post game interview with Julia Morales, he was wearing whatever shirt he had. He stated that his wife already called him and wasn't happy with him being shirtless after the game. It makes her jealous. She was home with their 1 year old and he told Julia jokingly, if this happens again, he'll have to make sure they don't rip his shirt again or else he'd be in big trouble.
Chapman's smile was similar to Mariano Rivera after the 2001 Lugo bloop. Laughing is a coping mechanism.
Anyways, I found it as a funny troll job. Mildly creative. I had no issue with it.
I'm not here to defend anyone like Bregman, Marwin, Springer etc. Altuve though has been raking his entire career, covering the plate as well as anybody, and very aggressively.
I get how the narrative works in favor of the mob though.

I posted the moment on YT with its original title before the change, so there it stays, lol

Read Cheated by Andy Martino. It's a very fair assessment of the scandal, who was really involved, the history of sign stealing etc. I think you'll find it paints an unbias (and Martino is New York writer) depiction of the Astros got caught up but we're hardly the only ones. And yes, he pretty much exonerates Altuve

I didnt see this moment or this thread until now. Thankfully. It really is exhausting. I understand all the flaming coming from fans, they are uneducated and passionate about their own fanbase, it is when other players, especially from teams that have been busted for or under suspicion for the same thing that erks me.
And leave Altuve the F alone!! lol. Dude is a standup ball player and human being. I cannot defend Correa, Gurriel, Springer, Marwin or for a couple Months Bregman, but everyone knows by now Altuve wasnt involved.
PS, and F Beltran and Cora
<--- this is given in chat on this site, so I better not get in trouble for it. -

A New York writer said so, so it’s proof. That goofball fan drivel and the jealous gf theory is laughable. And it’s not a summary of the book, the blogger didn’t even read it.

I'll believe a writer that interviewed MLB players and my own eyes watching Astros games and post game interviews myself. That's more "proof" to me than internet trolls and people making excuses for hanging a slider when you can't throw a FB for a strike.

The same way the 29 other teams that cheat do

Firstly....the opinion of Switch players is automatically irrelevant since they're playing a 1080p game on a 160p system
Secondly the change was stupid cause it spoke truth.....end of story
