2023 Official MLB Season Thread

rule #1: never let facts get in the way of a good story.

Mariners
Angels
Rangers

Make up around a third of the schedule lol. Enough said.

 

[g-time]

Can’t believe Luhnow’s apology. Complete joke lol. Point the finger at everyone else.

 

[g-time]

Listening to Richard Justice on Houston espn radio this morning and he said he’d be surprised if Luhnow returns to baseball and he’d be surprised if Cora ever coaches again.

Astros fans are really defending this

 

[niceshoes247]

F Boston too

I never really cared or freaked over the Patriots cheating, I'm not gonna flip over the Astros.

ALL teams cheat. Every. Single. One.

These guys just got caught. Bust them and keep it movin. (And hope the spotlight never shines on your own team)

Now, not sayin I won't let a few jokes off here and there..... But really, it's not some revelation I don't already expect of every other team.

the 2017 Astros had the best road record tho. the best road in team in baseball the last 3 seasons.

so you you just gonna ignore their home/away splits in the postseason

Astros' Home and Road Splits From 2017 Postseason Clearly Indicate Something Fishy Was Going on

The Houston Astros' home and road splits during the 2017 postseason is further evidence that something unfair was going on.

why even have rules at that point? “everyone does it” is a lame excuse, and the Astros were taking it to the extreme.

if the Dodgers were stealing signs and using brain implants to send signals then no one informed Cody bellinger or Corey Seager

I just dont understand the blanket "every team cheats" comment. Does every team have a camera in centerfield that is feeding to the tunnel where players watch a monitor and relay the signs to the batter? No, they dont. That is what the issue is here. Saying other teams cheat in other ways to gain an advantage couldnt possibly be less relevant here.

 

[elpablo21]

Idk what's worse.

That weak *** everybody does it strawman arguement

Or the fact the if the Mariners have been cheating ..they're not even good at that

 

[CP1708]

Y'all can be upset and pound the air all you want, look a couple posts up, Astros, Red Sox, and now Yankees/Dodgers all in the mix.

It's steroids all over again. Point fingers, blame blame blame, and the whole while, you're team and the ones pointing are also doin it.

Cardinals HACKED INTO another teams computer system. ( the Astros)

That's 5 teams, we haven't even really dug into anything else yet.

They're all guilty, including my Cubs. Of what? I don't know, but I'm sure they are doing something, or trying to do something, or searching for something, etc etc.

 

[g-time]

they did dig into the Cardinals though. they got fined a huge amount, lost draft picks and a dude is in prison for 2 years lol.

 

[dland24]

Look at the AL West and how many away games against Seattle, Texas, and Anaheim.

In 2017, there wasnt a single team in their division that was over .500. Would say that has a lot to do with it.

let them dig into the dodgers. were 0-2 in 2 straight world series, choked in the first round last year. 7 straight division titles beating up on the padres and dbacks and nothing to show for it. if were cheating like that too were not doing it very well

again, if the dodgers players had advanced nanotech tony stark cheating methods then why did cody bellinger swing and miss at every got damn outside slider in the dirt

 

[elpablo21]

Now people are pounding the air. C'mon CP

You're debating this no less than the people opposing your view. Relax

Exactly

exactly.......

You both missed the point. We have 5 teams listed on NT, on the last page, and WE, haven't even dug into the other 25 yet. Not MLB hasn't dug into anyone yet. "Exactly" C'mon.

If I'm not mistaken in 2017, wasn't it literally after, or maybe even during the game when Yu Darvish got lit up that they were sayin he was tippin his pitches? I mean, someone was talkin right then and there, they weren't tellin the truth, but they were talkin.....

He should've won it then & even more so now.

When the other 25 teams get caught in broad daylight doing things as brazen as the teams mentioned we will laugh at them too

But they haven't yet. So the jokes and level of criticism can only fly unless we (the thread) insinuate the Pittsburgh Pirates were doing the same thing the Astros were doing?

Cmon man!

No, I'm sayin give it some time, or do some digging, we'll find out what the other 25 teams are also doing.

The jokes can fly, no prob here, hell my fav so far was Manfred made his decision, banged his gavel and Bregman shouted CHANGEUP!!!!

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Anyone have the link to a report of supposedly 8 other teams who may have been doing this as well?

Andy Martino was talking about it. He also said that he is receiving info of other accusations that are just as bad as what the Astros did.
