Who is this guy and what's he been saying?
He just put out a book on the Astros "scandal". He's a NY guy.


I read an article earlier this week where the book claims the Astros continued to cheat in 2019 against the Yankees. The author said the Astros first base coach figured out that the catcher was tipping pitches by his crouch. The coach would then whistle to let the batter know. He claimed this was all done without the user of video, but still claimed it was cheating (didn't cite any rules). To my knowledge that's just a good coach. It's basically the same thing as a runner on second signaling the batter. The article was in a NY paper, and I got the impression the writer was a Yankees fan. Of course, it didn't mention anything about Yankee sign stealing or the use of sticky by pitchers.
That's not cheating, that's called being a ****ty catcher who's tipping pitches so obviously that a base coach can pick it up without even having to see the actual sign.

been discussed - that is not cheating. That is stealing signs the old fashioned way. If you are ****ty at your signs or have a "tell' that is your issue not the opposing team that exploits it.

I pointed this out to every Red Sox fan in my section booing, as well as the fact that they cheated in 2018.

I also encouraged them to boo the awful cheater, Marwin. They didn't.

My wife wasn't too happy with me.

Since I've moved up here they're pretty cool but yeah they're very much the pot calling the kettle black. Most of the time they don't give me a hard time about the astros but when they do it makes my head explode a little.

Not to mention they're all diehard patriots fans.

Cora is so sleazy.

what does he mean "for a moment" --- he was the bench coach for the entire season. He was one of the main guys involved

Remember when we are all pissed at Dusty for having Straw lead off? I imagine Red Sox fans are feeling the same about Cora with this lineup...

Well thanks to Fat Bib's awesome Joey Gallo thread, I know that genius David Bell has Eugenio Saurez and his blistering .160 BA leading off for the Reds! Gets on base at a whopping clip of .235. He is however among the leaders in something -- 5th in MLB in SO with 75, only 5 behind current leader Baez at 80.

some good drama today. Cole is starting vs the Twins tonight. Josh Donaldson is who started calling pitchers out saying he had a catalog of which pitchers are using sticky stuff and specifically named Cole.

I agree

Looks like a dropped ball to me. He didn't drop it on a transfer or anything.

Thought I heard blummer say the rule was you had to make a conscious effort to transfer the ball when it drops to be considered a catch. Not like football where you have to simply complete the profess of catching it. So yes, my understanding is that's not a catch.

That being said, I don't know the actual rule or how it works. Per what blummer was saying, you could catch a fly ball in cf, jog halfway to the dugout and it just fall out of your glove and it's not a catch

Here is the rule. I guess no catch is the right call.

Yankees fans:
Astros players are all cheaters and deserve every hateful thing said about them!!!

Also Yankees fans:
Say one mean thing about Cole and I will break your ribs.

And to think Showalter was on the list of candidates to replace AJ.

The solution to all this is very simple. The A's need to take Fiers off the IL and put him in as DH for one game against every team in the league. He's had to bat at least one time against everyone.

What is Showalter doing these days?

Is he openly campaigning for the Yankees head coaching job now?
