It's hilarious watching people cite the Manfred tweet as PROOF this isn't widespread. An investigation slated to take months that just started...and they believe that statement by him concludes the matter.

It's incredible how slow some people are, even those with degrees from a good school.

---

Its hilarious watching Astros fans cite the fact that everyone was doing it with literally no PROOF whatsoever.

Or do you have something you'd like to share other than opinion that "everyone was doing it", perhaps some videos?

---

No edited sound videos have appeared to this point only statements by opposing teams that technology was used to steal signs directly from dugouts. I'm sure if there were enough media members with an agenda against certain clubs, you'd see some video evidence by now.

2/30 teams =/= "Widespread" my friend.

Let's see, there have been reports of cheating by the Red Sox and the Astros only the last three seasons. And what two teams have stopped the Yankees from going to the WS the past three years? You people can't be that gullible. Is there a story that generates web hits and dollars if the rangers were stealing signs the last few years? Lmfao

I doubt it, but I doubt there is blatant evidence of it out there either.

---

Nobody cares enough to go look. "MLB club with elaborate sign stealing scheme still can't break .500" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

Their own fan base didn't want to watch their games live. Nobody is going to relive those games to see if they hear random sounds.

To be fair, that's how fans are:

http://www.espn.com/mlb/attendance/_/year/2012

When the team is competing for a title, their fans show up. When they're not, they don't.

---

Those numbers can't possibly be accurate, every Astros fan I've met in the last 3 years has been the worlds biggest Astros fan from the very first day they were a team

---

We do have a lot of people in our city who ignored the team during the down years. I too roll my eyes at how many "lifelong greatest fans ever" there suddenly are. But I think you'll find the main contingent of us here on Texags have been around during the bad and the good, never wavering.

Astros are trash

And 2017 World Champions*, and 2018 AL Champions.

---

How does it feel that the city of Houston can't win anything without cheating?

Best cheaters? Absolutely

Look, I'm sorry the Astros are going to be known as baseball's dirtiest cheaters for a VERY long time, and that 2017* has an asterisk now.
