I don't want to see any Astros flashbacks for MLB 20. These disgracefull cheaters don't deserve them. If I see one, it gets beaned automatically.

Welcome!
Some unspoken rules of the game for ya.

1. no bunt dancing
2. no dashboarding
3. try to go easy on the pause feature
4. Don't throw from left/center field to first base.
5. If you get down a couple runs, don't quit. You'll never improve your game.
6. don't expect a friendly quit when your down several runs in the middle of the game.

I hope most of you are mature players looking to play straight up and not some cheese fest. We'll see.

pick another name and move on. nobody cares.

Just read an article that said the team has agreed to wear masks and not go to bars/restaurants during the short 2020 season. Hopefully this helps Trout make a decision to play. I think it's great. All teams should make this pledge for a safer and better 2020 season.

If they turned on balks like the way the game is supposed to be played, you all would be really crying. That's how this game used to be played. And it made the game so realistic. when you loaded the bases and got nervous, some people would balk. I even did that. With a runner on base, you needed to come set with your pitcher.

So just stop crying over this R2 thing. Some people don't want to play rapid fire baseball. they want to relax and enjoy playing.

For coming out about the cheaters. It would of been better to come out when it was happening but at least we now know.
And Who knows how long it would of went on and the more technologically advanced it would get. That's not the baseball I want to watch and support.

You're right. The top players are sore losers. They will blame the game when they lose. I remember watching pitching rebels stream couple years ago and he was blaming the game when he was losing. It's always been like this. This is why I don't care who the top players are. Means nothing. I have more respect for the average player who plays straight up and doesn't quit when losing.

And the followers who send messages to you, they're even bigger losers.

Congrats! What a year he had.

If you guys had participated and stress-tested the servers accurately, we wouldn't be in this situation.

It's YOUR fault!

B.S. They're a gaming company. I'm sure they research this stuff. They knew doubling the amount of players was going to overload the servers.

And I love it. They deserve everything theyre getting. And I'm glad guys like Trout and Judge are speaking out. Everyone is disgusted. The way they have handled the whole situation is terrible. The Astros have lost all respect with the league.

Then Big papi calls Fiers a snitch. He's mad at Fiers for snitching but not at the Astros for damaging the integrity of the game. Unbelievable. I guess that's a cheaters mentality.

I think the idea was for us to have a starting pitcher in the bullpen for when our starter got rocked. Gives up 5 or more runs early. We have someone so we don't burn our bullpen. or when we go into extra innings. We have a starter there to finish the game for us.

But people are already abusing this. My opponent brought in Greinke in the 4th inning when he was already leading by 2 or 3 runs. His pitcher still had plenty of stamina left. There was no reason for him to do that. This is how were going to play the game all year? That's not how baseball is played.

After Cody's spectacular catch. was it too much? Can't both teams celebrate? I see Machado jumping up and down after his home run. Whats the deal?

Are people getting mad at him? I know that if I were him, I would have done the same! Your teammate just saved 2 runs, and kept you with the lead. IN THE PLAYOFFS!

Machado started crying about it.
But my take from that game: Grateral should be the closer. Kenley doesn't have it anymore.

I believe it. Whenever my opponent denies, I win. When I deny, I lose.

Why would he do that? That's a Dave Robert's move.

How does it feel to be rich? How did you get there? Did you work hard and invest? Going to retire early?

Seriously, did you do collections and still end up a millionaire?

I'm guessing it just takes a boat load of time playing the game.

All these million dollar cards that most wouldn't even use last year.
Feller
Matthews
Donaldson
bench
McCovey
Yates
Carter
Bell
Pedroia

The only million dollar cards should be Mays and Chipper.

Most responses from Astros fans on this topic are about how other teams have cheated or we won games on the road or you still couldn't hit our pitchers. They fail to admit there team is full of [censored] cheaters. How sad.

It boggles my mind when a young person dies of cancer. So many deaths this year. It's sad.

You know the infectious disease specialist Trump won't listen to because he want's to pretend everything is great and the virus is not a problem. Yes that guy. He threw out the first pitch in Washington and his card is going for hundreds of dollars. Anybody get one?

Graterol may throw the most effortless looking 100 mph pitch ive ever seen.

Manny is obnoxious. He really cant take it when someone else celebrates.

Can't say you're wrong.

Yeah, but that dude rakes and can pick it with anyone. Right now, who’s a better one two punch than Tatis and machado?

They're a combined 2 for 16 so far in this series. I'll take Betts and Seager.
