I still believe that we need to make some moves and get some of the lite off us. Not saying a complete rebuild just saying enough to get the players to shut the F up. Yuli, Correa and Reddick first then deadline Springer, Brantley and a couple relivers. Wait till the offseason Grienke then deadline Verlander. Get all the young and up comming top flight Prospects we can. And stay out of the lite. Js this will never go away until we get clear and we would get ahead of this crap that might still be comming down. You do realize that nothing short of relinquishing our trophy and banners will get the heat off this team. No that is the fallacy of current events/society. When you apologize and completely become a floor mat then they say well you deserve it. No I think the best place to be right now is to say, Look the cheaters are all gone, no one here had anything to do with starting or perpetuating the cheating. The crap you morons are spilling about the buzzers is the tripe that buffoons consume. We have a get out of jail card printed up by the commissioner that says if we disclose all of our records and admit to all transgressions then the punishment that we receive has already been dealt. It would take people who are monumentally stupid to hold something back that could hurt us so when we were clearing the decks why would we hide the buzzers. Quit being stupid and move on.

That would be awesome. I'd love to work for a public relations firm that issued statements like that

Why are you guys still talking about giving up the title, despite the fact that it has already been explicitly ruled out by the commissioner and our punishment has already been handed down?

I think most, myself included, are hating the * being placed around the title.....Like most here, we have no doubt that other teams were cheating....and we knew the Astros were going to be made the example... But we all waited a longtime for the Astros to win a WS....especially what it meant for the City of Houston, coming off Harvey.....It was just too perfect, book/movie worthy Plainly spoken: It sucks, feels like everyday you're being kicked in the nuts.....

Here is an off-the-wall question...Say MLB actually took the title away from the Astros, and gave it to the Dodgers....what would that mean for gambling bets on the game? Manfred would literally be killed.

It is too bad MLB will not do thorough investigations into other teams....We can only hope other teams will have their own Mike Fiers situation....

Well it looks like the theory of Beltran being a master of finding flaws in a pitchers motion of picking up tips was a smoke screen.

There not taking the title. Im saying if we move some people off the team maybe this bull shizz will stop. Look at the article on MLB traderymors about Brad Peacock. Jesus no remorse at all its attack attack attack.
Whats the best way yo shut them all up? Move some guys and do what we originally did with the talent we got and win again.
Im not saying trade Altuve Tucker Whitley McCullers Bregman or Yordan.
Im saying clear the meat off the potato get the lite off us for alittle while and build a team around those names above. Feel in the blanks.
Its that simple. There is no reason to try and push for big dreams we are under a micro scope and will always be that way till something else happens. Its the American way. Or shall I say the Democratic way. Hyperfocus on one thing no matter what it is make it the biggest deal and talk about it for years until you do something about it. What do we do? Move some contracts and players and rebuild the talent accross the board and go back to the series. This team is tainted. We dont need that hovering around all year. Crane needs to step up and show them what he can do. CLICK should be all over this.
If they dont every single game press confrence fart dinner anything will be questioned

Where the H is that at? What about the Yankees? Im sure there was something going on there how many seasons did they have winning seasons? Beltran we are behimd the times but we are the only ones getting hit. Thats where the BS is. So this is why I believe we trade some guys rebuild some trade some more rebuild more. And win it all again. Nick Senzel and Clint Frazier added to Kyle Tucker would be a great young core that could flurish. Frazier in LF. Js

Js After Beltran retired he worked a year in the Yankees organization. The Yes Network has total control of their broadcasts with camera's all over the stadium. There can be a lot of questions to draw conclusions against their organization. Just like Smoltz mentioned this most likely happened with other teams, and now they are on notice, with the Stros being the whipping boys.

MLB investigated and claimed there was "insufficient evidence". They still fined them though, which is strange if there wasn't enough evidence. I guess all these 2019 Yankees forgot about the fact that they cheated enough to warrant a fine of some type even if it wasn't a big one. When Boston and NYC cheat it's okay, because it's just a little cheating.

We need to win to take attention off the cheating and you want to gut the roster.......Come back when you can make sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Thats why Im sayimg whats the best way to shut them all up?
