Fiers is full of it.  He's just still pissed because we teed off of him.

He is mainly pissed because he was left off the post season roster in 2017

A lot of reasons to believe it and not believe it. We'll see soon.

We will just keep hearing more bullshit dreamed up and put out by the East coast media who can't live with  the fact that the Astros keep eliminating their beloved Yankees.  Then, some nut job like Fiers who sucked so badly that he got left off the post season roster and then dumped mouths off and makes headlines. They won't prove that the Astros did anything illegal.  Don't tell me that every other team doesn't steal signs if they have the tools to do it.

Well looks like the Astros are cheaters.

But if Fiers is all about coming clean, will he admit he used gunk with his no-hitter against the dodgers.

I'm a tad surprised that so many of you automatically dismiss the accusation as if the culture of this team hasn't been going down hill for a decade.

They're guilty af:

“We take the allegation seriously and we're going to look into it. If you're not following the rules, it's a serious matter,” Luhnow told reporters at the GM meetings in Arizona. “I'm not going to get into exactly what I knew or anybody knew at this point. So I'm just going to have to wait and see. But I'm sure there will be an appropriate time to answer that question directly.”

Can’t dismiss it. Kevinbass must be foaming at the mouth to post here.

This whole mess is being hyped up in the media to help tear down the Astros because the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers were all beaten by them in 2017 and they have continued to win and probably will keep winning for awhile.

Here's Carlos Beltran's take on this crap:

If I ever find out that a "regular poster" (ie. you) is creating troll accounts, I'll ban all of their accounts and their IP.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman, who was at the GM meetings in Arizona when The Athletic’s story broke, tried to project a measured disposition but still tossed a few subtle jabs at the Astros, according to the New York Post.

“I don’t think it’s a technological question alone. It’s just conduct,” Cashman said. “You decide to play by the rules, or you don’t. And if you don’t, there’s consequences. You’re putting yourself at risk whether it’s future employment, current employment, or sanctions or what have you. It’s not a technology question as much as how you want to operate.”

Yankees star Aaron Judge appeared to be confused about the report. Judge hit 52 home runs that season and won the American League Rookie of the Year.

“Wait… what….?” he tweeted.

An anonymous former member of the Yankees also expressed anger after hearing about the controversy.

“To actually have somebody hitting a garbage can, pretty much the whole game, that’s pretty much your job, whoever is doing that,” the person told the New York Post. “It stinks. You wish you could go back in time and figure that out earlier, because we thought we were the better team. We probably were the better team.”

I may be in the minority here.........Somebody explain just exactly what is supposed to be wrong with the culture the Astros have created.....We have a clubhouse where the players seem to get along and support each other. Nobody points fingers at their teammates for mistakes......manager and coaches work well with players....What is the problem?? All I can think of is some of Bregman's antics are not too popular.

I think the damn Yankees stirred up all this crap and will keep stirring it.

You admitted with your own fingers to being jjsmooth, which is the very definition of a troll.

as if I were being serious with that quip

So no other players heard trash cans banging? No umpires? No opposing catchers? No 1st base coaches?

I think it's very possible something was going on, but not to the level opponents want to make it out to be.

Son, don't try to act big. I know where you live and which IPs you have available. And you're too cheap to pay for a real VPN.

I'm curious about who the other "two or three Astros staff members" are who supposedly confirmed the cheating to The Atlantic.

[Saint]

And if Fiers is all about doing what's right all of a sudden, how long until he gives up his WS ring? THat's still sitting in a display case at home, I bet.
