Manfred be like "My name's Pitt . . . "
I beg to differ. According to ESPN and the rest of the media, the Red Sox and Yankees ARE BASEBALL. That is 100% ==widespread.lda6339 said:2/30 teams =/= "Widespread" my friend.Nino Brown said: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.lda6339 said:Its hilarious watching Astros fans cite the fact that everyone was doing it with literally no PROOF whatsoever.Flexbone said:
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.
Or do you have something you'd like to share other than opinion that "everyone was doing it", perhaps some videos?

I doubt it, but I doubt there is blatant evidence of it out there either.Nino Brown said:
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

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.

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.
Still believe this won't be massive?03_Aggie said:ORAggieFan said:03_Aggie said:ORAggieFan said:ontheedge said:
Ignorant thread. Original Texas team won the WS in 2017, get over it.
It's ignorant to talk about a massive cheating scandal that will result in punishment? What exactly is ignorant about this? Do you know what that word means?
It isn't massive. That's just what you, and the writers, want it to be. The Red Sox were actually busted during the 2017 season using electronic devices to steal and relay signals. It was not a massive scandal.
So now we're arguing over how big of a cheating incident this is?
It's much bigger than the Red Sox incident and the punishment will show it.
First it hasn't been proven they've done anything. if it is proven, it won't be some massive scandal. Not sure why you think it would be any bigger than the Red Sox.

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.
