I'm interested to see if social media, sports writers and baseball fans keep this same hostile energy when the Red Sox get popped.

Corcoran scurried toward Chiles and started kicking at the ground, harder and harder, enough that the livid Phillies' groundskeeper told him to stop. Corcoran didn't, and eventually he hit paydirt: a wooden box. He pulled the top off it and found a mess of wires. His suspicions were dead-on: Someone in the stadium was stealing opponents' signals and feeding them to Chiles through electrical pulses into the box. One buzz for a fastball, two jolts for a curveball, three twitches for a changeup. Chiles then verbally fed the pitch to the batter.

LeBron James can **** off.

Our players will get beaned this year and they'll deal with it. They're tough.

Everyone else can just stuff it.

Harold Reynolds.

You're a got damned fool if that's what you gleaned from his 'analysis' of the Altuve at bat.

Have you ever played baseball? I want to know.

If you get a tip right before a windup thet a fastball is coming you absolutely have time to recognize and react. Also if it's an off speed (hold back and make it be perfect).

These guys are the best in the world. I can't remember what former player said it but someone said "if I knew a fastball was coming I'd swing even if it was in the opposite batters box"

It is mind bogglingly stupid to think tipping pitches with a sophisticated system that included algorithms in the front office and dugout isn't a massive advantage.

Harold Reynolds said that the whole Altuve/buzzer thing against Chapman was silly. He analyzed the at bat, saw that Chapman couldn't locate his fastball (5 outside pitches in a row), sat on a hanging slider, and killed it.

Also said he never 'immediately ran to the dugout' and showed several minutes of Altuve celebrating on the field after the walk-off.

---

Right...his argument was that buzzer or no buzzer, the sequence of pitches made it easy to figure out what was coming and Altuve got to a point that he knew he wouldn't get a fastball (almost as if he had the info on the pitch...whether he did or didn't is irrelevant according to Reynolds). He then was able to smash the pitch because he knew he wouldn't get a fastball which flies in the face of everything 03Aggie keeps trying to promote; that knowing you're getting an off speed pitch 'isn't all that beneficial'. That's bull crap.

Buzzer or not, trash cans or not, Reynolds claim is that THAT at bat was easy to figure out. Fine...maybe that AB was. But it doesn't mean they're not the cheating *****s of baseball that they have come out and admitted.

I'm done. Enjoy getting pegged all season long and the black cloud that will forever hang over your franchise.

Every non-astro professional athlete is saying the same thing. At some point you have to stop saying "They're just jealous of the success", "They didn't play well enough to beat us anyways", "They were probably doing it too", or "They can **** off" and eventually you have to realize if everyone but a very small select group of people are saying the same thing, that small select group of people is probably missing a piece a of the picture. It is quite literally Flexbone Astros Fans vs the world at this point.

It's been mentioned before, but as a fan of a team who had people literally go to jail for hacking another team, you should probably sit this one out. Not to mention your last World Series was won by a sign stealer.

Which one? My team has 11 so I get them confused. Astros fans wouldn't know anything about that

What channel would that be? I only get them on t.v. when they play the Rangers.

Does not compute. Just like the fact that the Astros aren't on t.v. in large portions of Houston, but the Rangers are.

Wrong. Only ones getting media times are the ones crying and saying they're going to throw at them.
