Needed that one yesterday to stop the bleeding. Time to go on a streak. Any recent updates on Altuve? Guessing a couple weeks minimum?

So all that whining and crying, and they were doing the same thing. Let's see an investigation into Cora's Sox next...Red Pear Realty said:

The spin from NY media is that Yankees were sending signals to runner on second base (not directly to batter like Astros).txags92 said:So all that whining and crying, and they were doing the same thing. Let's see an investigation into Cora's Sox next...Red Pear Realty said:

It looks more noble but in fact the reality is that:
a) It's still using technology to cheat which they made a huge fuss over
b) Plate appearances are much more important with a runner in scoring position
And the guy on second base was tipping the batter. Tomayto, tomahto, they were using technology to cheat and have no high ground from which to think they are any different from the astros.Serotonin said:The spin from NY media is that Yankees were sending signals to runner on second base (not directly to batter like Astros).txags92 said:So all that whining and crying, and they were doing the same thing.

Here's Altuve running yesterday and he looks good. I think he's eligible to come off the DL tomorrow but I bet we won't see him in Toronto but hopefully next week.David_Puddy said:

Oh and eff the Yankees. I don't like the tarnish on our title but the holier than though attitude from Yankees and Red Sox fans is total BS.

what they did wasn't different, but the timing also matters. we did ours after warnings were already given about stopping.
Well lord knows the MLB would never give a warning to the Yankees or the Red Sox...cheating is cheating. If you are cheating, you don't get to call out other teams for cheating.sts7049 said:

Weren't warnings given league wide?sts7049 said:

yeah, after the yanks and sox were using the electronic stuff. if I recall correctly
and then we proceeded anyway
and then we proceeded anyway
Either the players knew about the memo and did it anyways, or the front office knew and it did not get to the players.

The Yankees and Red Sox continued after the warnings too.
I believe the rangers lead the all time series by 14 games. So do we even the series or have a lead over them by the end of this season?
Edit: looks like we have to go perfect to in the 15 remaining games this season to take the lead.

Tuve playing in Sugar Land Fri and Sat. If youve never been, just get a cheap seat and then head straight to outfield bar for the night.

The reason we got in trouble was bc we continued to do it when MLB told us not to.Texaggie7nine said:

No one other than Astros fans cares about this or sees it as vindicating the Astros in some way. Just the way it is.

So did the Red Sox in 2018. You know, when they beat us in the ALCS and won the World Series??
I simply don't give a **** about what the Astros did or didn't do. It's part of baseball. What pisses me off is the way they were scapegoated and all the sanctimonious players (looking at you Cory Seager and Joe Kelly) and fanbases who refused (some still are refusing) to admit their teams were doing the same **** in some fashion. They may not have been banging on trash cans but they were using electronics to steal signs and relay them to hitters.
**** 'em in the ear.

I am just going to enjoy the opportunity to stuff this into the ear of every Yankees fan I hear bagging on the Stros as cheaters. Whether they care or not will be immaterial to enjoyment I will get out of it.MAS444 said:

McCann talked about how often they had to switch signs against the dodgers in game 7 of the WS with no one on:
And electronic stealing dates at least to the 80s:

After the Astros won the 2017 World Series in Los Angeles, catcher Brian McCann confirmed the Astros had to change signs multiple times vs the Dodgers with NOBODY on.

**** the sanctimonious MLB. I follow the Astros but the rest of the league can pound sand. Won't watch any games, either.
Yessir. I won't watch anything but Aggies and Astros (and formerly the Texans). Couldn't care less about anyone else. Also, I can't stand national shows and commentators (ESPN is on only when a game involving my two teams is on). And I always watch the games with the sound off and music on.

100% so did every other team in baseball
Your reaction time is admirable
