players take steroids, teams didnt have systems/procedures in place to load up the entire roster with techno roids. this aint russia.
players still have to perform even with steroids (i remember some guys in the mitchell report were still garbage lol), players on these teams knew what pitch was coming and therefore just had to swing correctly. home/road splits, etc.
theres levels to this stuff.

Astros are a pos organization. Wow, just wow..

This is definitely worse imo.
Essentially at bats are turned into hitting practice for guys.
You can have your best stuff as a pitcher and it doesn't matter.

Nah I wouldn't accept it. If it's illegal, it's cheating. It's pretty cut and dry. If you're not one of the 'five' teams doing this stuff and losing, you still gonna have that submissive energy? Cheating should be condemned in every form. Roids, sign stealing, hacking a team's computer, crowd noise, deflated balls, etc.

What the Astros did is way worse than PEDs imo

Yo this Astor's stuff is way worse than any damn steroids. This is comical how hard they were going with the cheating.

teams knew their players were juicing and intentionally turned a blind eye because it gave the team a competitive advantage.

More like, turned a blind eye so they weren't at a disadvantage. It leveled the playing field more than anything.

Pitchers and batters both juiced though.
this is a team wide thing (not individual players) that gave way too much of a competitive advantage to one side.

Also, the sh*t went federal and players are still getting popped for 50 games being first time offenders. Definitely not an offense that should be minimized.
The sign stealing stuff is definitely more contrived though

ehh theres a difference between turning a blind eye vs actively participating/encouraging. both are cheating yes but the latter is worse imo since its embedded in the entire clubhouse from #25 to the GM as opposed to some players and the team just ignoring.
ignorance/passiveness isnt an excuse but its weaker than participation/activeness

This really reads as if cheating is ok if everyone is doing it. Y'all got Marwin from us and y'all just broke the homerun record. What's to say yall not stealing signs?
Also, this buzzer issue was investigated by Manfred and nothing came of it.

Curious. What if he was added into the 2017 postseasons squad and didn't get dumped. Would he still call out about cheating?

I'm not justifying any of it. I'm within the context of the discussion. Comparatively, I believe this to be worse.
Sorry to disagree with you.
Jesus.
