Obviously I'm biased but I still think this is so incredibly unprofessional.

Think about what would happen would if someone said something like 'Well HRs are easy when you're juicing' when Robinson Cano hit a HR.

Yeah we cheated and people get busted for breaking rules but it's just something as a professional you just stay away from.

I didn't realize that an announcer stating facts could be considered unprofessional.

Here's a good life lesson. Don't do bad things if you don't want people to say negative things about you.




Stones and glass houses

Is the author of that paragraph being "unprofessional" for talking about something that was accepted as true? Not at all.

If Hersheiser doesn't want to be called a cheater, maybe he shouldn't have done that. But he did. Now he has lost the right to throw a hissyfit when someone calls him out on it.

Him calling out somebody being a cheater is like Tiger Woods calling somebody out on being unfaithful to their wife.

Or as Charles Barkley once said, "that's like Snooki calling Halle Berry ugly"

It's funny considering the data the media leaned on was the Astro fan that noticed all the bangs per player and Altuve had the lowest count by far. It was also confirmed by multiple players in the investigation that Altuve said he didn't want it.


Even more evidence saying Altuve didn't cheat.

While I think Orel can eat a dick with the rest of the Dodgers, he was on a local broadcast. He's going to play up to the fanbase. It would bother me a lot more if it was an espn or fox national guy.

Lol rain delay in Baltimore vs NYY game after 5 innings. Cole starting again and NY has a 1 run lead. Wanna bet they call the game again after 5?

One thing I'd like to see the Astros change is their slow offensive starts. In six games, the Astros have scored 9 total runs in the first three innings, and 4 of those runs came in one inning against the Mariners. You'd think that an early lead will help this young pitching staff, especially with opponents getting more familiar with them.
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

Why not just keep the rosters larger to allow for more pitchers?

Sure. Let's start changing the rules in mid season.

Wait until they initiate the rule that all DH under the age of 24 must hit with one hand.

Stupid marlins couldn't quarantine properly. How it is that every other team has minimal positives and they have 19

They weren't even near Magic City to get some wings.

Absolutely. But that means more payroll too.

WTF does staging double-header mean?

Like they're gonna simulate them or what?

Kinda confused

I'm assuming the impending round of double headers is for the East if it when they try and make ganes up.

Double headers are for the games being made up. They are just making them 7 innings

It's really not going to effect us. Mainly the East, or some of the weather effected games

It affects every team if only a certain group get Ws after only 7 innings when the rest have to play 9.

That's completely unfair

While I completely agree, there isn't anything fair about this season. 10 teams have almost no travel, and 2 of those have stopped playing and likely won't play for another 2 weeks if at all. They made up extra inning rules to limit wear on staffs. And we are talking about MLB. They let an owner play commissioner.

That is a 4.5 runs per 9 inning pace

break up the Mariners...leading 8-2 in the 9th and poised to win their series vs. the Angels.

Kyle Lewis has 7 hits in the series --- possible MVP candidate at this point
