I don't see how there isn't more chatter about Beltran being an obvious connection to this going on in NY too.
You're completely overestimating the media with Boston. There's a hierarchy in sports reporting:Beat40 said:
Boston media is going to go nuts if they get the same penalties as the Astros.
MLB may have stepped in it if they do that and let the Yankees walk away scot free without an investigation.
I don't see those around the Red Sox let this thing go, especially with Beltran as a special advisor in 2019 to the Yanks.
I'm not suggesting the Astros shouldn't "Man up, take the punishment, accept the consequences, and move on and handle business." I'm saying if I'm Crane and my team was punished when I knew other teams were also doing the same thing, I'd raise hell to make sure the others were investigated deeply as well to truly root out everything.Ag_07 said:
For me personally what other teams did or didn't do doesn't change anything about the circumstances the Astros are in.
We got caught breaking rules we weren't supposed. Man up, take the punishment, accept the consequences, and move on and handle business.
Let others twits like Jomboy and Beltran's burner accounts do the kicking and screaming.

I'm sure the next domino to fall will be Judge for his blatant use of illegal technology in the dugout during the 2019 ALCS.
Any day now.

Whoever that is, is going scorched earth. I'm here for it.

Here's how to shut down all the chirping - the Astros go out and win the 2020 World Series.
That will shut nothing down. It will probably cause more talk.iamtheglove said:

Don't even give the time of day to anyone using statistical circumstantial evidence as proof of cheating. You can slice the stats up a number of ways to prove any point.Gramercy Riffs said:
Yankee fan in the office is using 2017 home/road splits to argue that they clearly got cheated in the 2017 ALCS. He doesn't have an explanation for the Yankees splits though:
Home: 19 runs in 3 games
Road: 3 runs in 4 games
2017 Playoffs:
NYY 6-0 at home, 1-6 on the road
The Astros cheated, but don't throw around stats.
The only way to get this under control would be for Manfred to come out and say they have credible allegations against the Yankees and Dodgers, and you'll see this dry up.agproducer said:
No Astro player is above reproach, but this "buzzer" stuff that's trending on Twitter is dumb, and it's continuing to perpetuated by Yankees fan.
It seems to me they are trying to keep any focus off the Yankees.
Also, if the buzzer stuff is true, that sucks. MLB has already come out and said it found no cheating in 2019.
MLB already got its pound of flesh. Yankees fans are bitter because they couldn't beat us.
Screw them all.
Burn it down. All of it.
