    Astros Were Cheating?
    I guess if you're not cheating you're not trying.

              You know majority of pro athletes are cheating right? It's competition with fortunes at stake. Or you could go flip burgers for $8 an hour take your pick.

                People have been stealing signs in baseball for 100 years.

                    Jomboy overreacting like he should, because he's an upstarting social media sensation

                    My opinion will be that they all do something, but no rules are being broken.

                          The 1951 Giants put a coach in an office just beyond center field and he used a telescope to steal catcher signs before relaying them to the dugout.

                          Came back from 13.5 game deficit in mid-August.

                          I don’t see much difference. Baseball has long been known as a game people cheat in to gain an edge.

                          I don’t hold anything against the Astros. They are probably just the ones who got for doing what a lot of teams do because a former player wrote their names on the chalk board.

                                This is nothing new in baseball. It's part of the game.

                                  The Home BA % vs Road BA is hilariously obvious. McCann's BA was like .300 at home In the 17' playoffs and .038 on the road.... the only one who was good both at home and on the road was Gurriel.

                                    Guys used to steal signs off my catcher. Makes a huge difference knowing what pitch is coming

                                          2017 WS started in LA and finished in LA. The Astros won the series in LA so what's the big deal.

                                              Let’s take a look at the ppl leaking the Astros sign stealing scandal to the media.

                                              Mike Fiers-Non tendered didn’t make the postseason roster in 2017.

                                              Former scouts for the team that were fired.

                                              A former beat writer who was fired.

                                              Yeah there’s no motive here at all.

                                                Why do teams have signs? If you don't have signs no one will steal them.

                                                    Makes sense. The Nationals won and didn't steal signs.

                                                      Mike Fiers is scheduled to start tomorrow for the A’s against the Rangers, meaning the Astros will not face him during their three-game series this weekend in Oakland.

                                                        Probably a good thing for Fiers.
                                                        We might have seen a couple of Astros charge the mound just to get a couple punches in.
