Eovaldi was a warrior tonight! He just refused to lose until the offense came to life.

Loved watching that pitchers duel.

You mean they just didn't get caught. Rangers were using flashing lights long before the Astros banged trash cans

Houstonian here but glad the Rangers won if we didn't. Remember going to a hot ass game here with my dad as a kid. He grew up in Oak Cliff as a Rangers fan so I can't hate em. Bonus that they didn't cave to the "wacky brigade".

Correlation doesn't imply causation, but good for the Rangers organization to have a spine.

I'm sorry, but sign stealing in baseball is as old as A&M itself, if not older. It's not like this was also used to trash a red state's city by baseball-loving Dems (who seem to be in the majority based on my observations).

Looks like something straight out of an early 1990s Nintendo game.

Using cameras to do it is chicken ***** You can admit that your team cheated while also realizing you had a good team. No need to white knight for cheating.

Sign stealing is one thing. Happens all the time sure.

But they went further than that

a. sign stealing using electronics
b. relaying that info to hitters in real time via audio cues

The MLB levied the harshest fines ever for a reason.

I guess I'd be more outraged if baseball didn't intrinsically include other bizarre ways to cheat.

that isn't justifying cheating - good lord.

Seriously that's a weak ass argument.

All that case did is establish there is no LIABILITY from a betting platform for cheating when it is discovered. The results still stand and they are not liable to reimburse bets because of it.

It's clear that cheating is still a part of the game, whether we like it or not. To assume baseball teams don't try to get that edge when there are so many opportunities to, more than any other sport, is ridiculous. The article mentions one MLB team making a damn Rube Goldberg machine lol. There's a reason why the Astros weren't stripped of 2017 too.

My memory could be off, but didn't the Astros win the last two games of that WS in LA? They were the better team.

Not only do they not have a pride night, the Rangers don't do anything to celebrate pride month. Their reasoning is pretty simple: they believe the ballpark should be a welcome place to everyone every single game, not just one month or night of the year.

They also need to fill seats, and avoiding controversy is a good thing; especially considering what happened with the Dodgers this summer.

No. Astros lost game 6, won game 7 in LA. Also won game 2 there as well

I'll bet they have a pride night eventually. Guarantee the marketing and social media team are liberal.

This is a typical Rangers thread. It starts off talking only about the rangers but within 4 posts it becomes all about the Astros.

To make it Aggie football related (here on the Politics board ... ??), Curtis Dickey used to work security out in right field under the star on the Coke sign.

Wishful thinking, but the Rangers string-pullers might actually know their fanbase a bit and make a few decisions here and there that reflect that. Now if they're really smart they'll jettison that bud light contract...

I went to the Oct19 ALCS game and it still amazes me (in the most heart warming way) that there was not a single human in that building willing to be caught dead with a bud light in their hand.

It was already in the Lone Star State, thanks to the 2022 World Series Champion Astros.
