    There are plenty of MLB'ers that are in the HOF that have used illegal substances.....

    what do you call when he is taking a day off? That means he doesn't think his team will win!
    Also he ruined mario soto's career. He pitched him on 3 days rest more than half of his games. All to win a gambling bet,
    Ask yourself this...WHY DID PETE HAVE TO FIND A BOOKIE IN BUFFALO NEW YORK?

        A little late for that.

        They should have just forfeited their title and been done with it to move on. It's just not legit anymore.

          After this season, Astros might as well trade everyone away and go cheap payroll. Who's going to want to sign with them? Why would anyone want to voluntarily associate with them right now? It's great for players who have already moved on because they can just say "that's the past, I've moved on, I'm focused on the <new team>".

                      Wow, is Senor Story Time triggered over something?

                      Or did his uncle's ex wife's Grandmother's cousin who dated Abner Doubleday's granddaughter invent the specific type of trash can they were beating on for sign stealing?

                      I will never know LOL

                        Actually it will affect fantasy in that the Houston Astros will have guaranteed points from getting beaned on Opening Day

                          let the record show that I was one of the very few back in 2008 saying that sports are rigged
                          and caught a lot of flack for it back then

                          in case anyone wants my predictions/forecast for the next 10 years or so, just stop

                          in 10 years 90% of us are dead

                          dig this shit

                            I disagree Booya.

                            You know the system itself is bigger than that.

                            A dialed in MLB Manager betting on any MLB team, even if he wasn't even involved in that division league, is obviously not right.

                            Betting against his own team and even making obvious moves to lose that game (not saying he did that) is just as bad as betting on an irrelevant game in the other league.

                            No difference because he is a dialed in manager, knows how it's fixed in general.

                            It's not about the morality of gambling, it's about abuse of power by people who have it.

                            That's going to be tough for the purists, those who think the game is legit, to swallow.

                                I mean the fans who can't swallow that it's a big show, not real.

                                Those purists. You know what I'm talking about.

                                Since it's all fixed, anyone in management shouldn't touch a thing.

                                I'd rather see a player make bets, and forgive him, than an active manager doing it.

                                The players don't "always" "know".

                                    Like I said, it's not about the morality of gambling.

                                    It's about the integrity of a system that is already in place (even if that system only has a certain "integrity" itself).

                                    People in power can't abuse it.

                                      The Astros debacle sure has proven this....only people punished were the people in power not the players....

                                        Weren't there questions about how the pitchers for the Astros increased their spin-rate enormously once they joined the team?

                                          that kind of "everyone is doing it" mentality is why the steroid era was allowed to continue, the cheaters prospered while the good guys suffered... in any profession there are some rotten people but not everyone is rotten

                                                All you guys up in arms saying they'll get thrown at and blah blah blah.....NOTHING will come from any of this. One batter will get plunked and it'll be "paid in full" and life will go on. Astros get off completely Scott Free.

                                                      Big difference between a couple of guys getting together after practice going over some on base signals and a club's front office devoting staff hours to it and giving it a code name.

                                                      Also, if lives were dependent on it like in WWII, everyone would probably forgive stealing pitch signs.

                                                          You could make the argument that this was worse than steroids. With steroids, the guys would still have to compete. When you know what pitches are coming, you can come up with a pretty solid gameplan to say the least. The Astros and the owner are making themselves look far worse by some of their recent comments. Noone really wants to hear it, just shut up. If it didn't affect the outcome of games, why were you doing it? I hope Correa gets beaned in the head, what a moron.

                                                            The accusation is a bit flimsy, but we are talking about the Astros here.

                                                            Trevor Bauer's implications that the Astros are doctoring baseballs are worth considering because of his knowledge of spin rate. But Bauer is also known to be very petty.

                                                              The league had made it clear that stealing signals with any electronic support was forbidden

Ever wonder why danny graves lost 4 mph on his fastball after the started testing for steroids? Ever wonder why aaron boone's calve muscles were bigger than most peoples quads? Wonder why pete rose never touched alcohol but allegedlyloved greenies? As I told many people...Barry bonds was and is a horrible person. But roids never helped him hit a curveball. Guy would get maybe 2 pitches to hit a game and he exploded on them. If steroids helped you hit curve balls...randy poffo would be a a household name in baseball. Instead of being lanny poffo (the genius) brother or as a wrestler named MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE!
