Took long enough. I have been waiting to hear what he had to say. I will say that now that I annoy him, I am sure that the commissioner did the right thing

Now we need Steve Kerr and Greg Pop to tell us how Trump influenced the Astros

LeBron needs to be more self-aware. I guarantee you he has not read the Manfred Report or any other research on this subject. Just scrolling through social media seeing these hypocrites with asinine takes and deciding the world needs to know how he feels on the matter.

As the great Carlos Correa would say: Hey LeBron "if you don't know the facts you need to shut the **** up"

Man Banging Trash Can At Batting Practice

They never say in the article if it had a significant impact on batting practice or not.

So he's never embellished contact to get a foul call? Technically isn't flopping against the rules and could be considered cheating?

Just watched the entire presser w/ Manfred: main takeaway to me was when he said he got grievances about "several other teams" in 2017

And the shocker: nobody pressed him with a follow up question on that statement

Yes, and so where are of the other ****ing investigations? Why isn't Crane asking him this question every day?

Idk but Crane should go scorched earth if Boston doesn't get hammered for 2018 after everything the Astros have dealt with over the last few weeks....

I quoted him to point out that it's ridiculous to compare flopping in basketball to this. I don't just lurk, I'll comment when I see something especially humorous. Sorry I didn't explain, I thought the implication was enough.

Carry on, my apologies.

I apologize if this was already brought up but I saw folks getting this embroidered on the sides of their Astros caps yesterday. I liked it.

Every move he has made was a bad move. His response to MLB should have been see you in court and he should have told the players I got your back don't talk without a lawyer.

Well players are fined for it so I guess that actually makes it worse than stealing signs.

On the cheating scale, where does pitchers using a foreign substance to increase their spin rate fall?

Don't apologize, my friend. I wanted to have a conversation about it if it was worth it. I wanted to hear your actual thoughts. I certainly thought that's what you meant.

I think it might be a little ridiculous for the poster to claim, but I don't think it's too far off base either. LeBron was once asked about his own flopping, which is in essence deceiving the referee, and he did say he would take any advantage he could get to win. Something along those lines. That could mean flopping to get the 6th foul on a teams best player with 5 minutes left in a game.

The one thing this scandal has brought out is what kinds of cheating or envelope pushing people are truly ok with from all sides.

I sincerely hope you enjoy your season. Baseball is the greatest game, warts and all.

Those odds are about right. Correa has been so vocal that he would likely be the front runner however he will likely be hitting 5th or 6th so Bregman would likely be the first

Exact. I'm sure nba teams steal play call signs all the time. And use it to steal the ball or defend a certain player or shot more effectively. Not to excuse the astros but these sanctimonious responses are really getting old. Only winning will make this better.

I think Bregman is the likely target due to his being white and Jewish and a hundred millionaire

He's a real easy demographic to target without media backlash

Anyone else find it funny that Bearkat found a Tyler White article and he is not even on the team anymore?

Can Queen James just shut her pie hole? She's a dumbass, and have ever won anything without hand picking her teammates.
