Hang every damn one of them. I hope the Yankees are included. This isn't going away anytime soon. Dig deep, Mlb! I want it done until ALL of the guilty ones are exposed and I'm hoping the damn Yankees are at the top of the list. |

ESPN and others are running with the story about Altuve using a buzzing device under his shirt...despite no evidence and MLB saying there's no indication he did it. Nefarious bastards.

Why can’t this scandal end? If true, it will tarnish Altuve and Bregman forever. They’re already tarnished forever. |

Now that Altuve is being implicated, do I see an attitude change for you??  I agree with you.....this crap with no evidence to back it up needs to stop. I said from the beginning that the damn media urged on by the Yankees are targeting the Astros and don't care what the others did. NO proof that Altuve or anyone else wore a buzzer under his shirt. I hope the article from KPRC about other teams doing the same thing the Astros are accused of is proven to be true. Then.the Nats title is tainted, too. |

The team cheated, and the players should have been punished in some form. However, if they're accused of something that the league has already ruled out, that's unfair and ridiculous and needs to stop. There is a big difference between doing something illicit and not doing something illicit. I care that they broke the rules. You do not. We're still on opposite sides of this issue. |

Yes, I do care that they broke the rules. I just wanted the evidence provided that proved it before condemning them. They are guilty. NO player in the major leagues would have refused to use the help provided by those cameras. There is no way of knowing which players used it or those who did not. No player will refuse information that could pad his numbers and get him more money on his contract. Any who say differently are lying. My position is that I want ALL teams punished who did this sort of thing and not just the Astros. |

7 hours ago unionstation82 said:
Did y’all hear the rumor that Mike Trout takes HGH for a thyroid condition? That’ll probably signal the end of the cheating allegations. He’s MLB’s Jesus after all.
I hope it's true. I would like to see a rumor started that mike Fiers is the bitch of the A's clubhouse.
*******************
However, Brosius walked back his accusation on Friday with a follow-up post on Instagram.
I’d like to clear the air about a comment made earlier this week about Mike Trout potentially using HGH. The statement in question was taken from a conversation where I was explaining how there are certain situations in which actions that would usually be against the rules and considered cheating, are deemed okay for medical or other reasons, thus not cheating. The example I used of Mike Trout does not stem from information from my Dad or sources within the MLB and has no evidence behind it. I had no intention of this becoming an accusation against Mike Trout or causing the uproar it did. Mike Trout has been the face of MLB for good reason, as he is an amazing player and even better example for baseball players like myself. I would like to sincerely apologize to him and his family for the unfair statement I made and the negative fallout it has had on them. No criticism or skepticism should be pointed at him, it should all be at me. I had a lapse in judgment when posting the comment and have learned my lesson on how powerful and dangerous social media can be.

That shit should not be allowed to be for sale.
saw a results of an online poll on ESPN saying over 59% of fans want the players punished. My bet is the survey results came from New York and LA since the Astros kicked the Yankees and Dodgers asses.

You have to admit, he stuck to the script.
1. The Commissioner made his report. 2. The Astros responded to the report. 3. He's excited to get to Spring Training.
There were 15 questions and they were all answered with these three statements.

So he’s not going to apologize. Beltran did, but he’s not playing anymore. I see where this is going. |

Neither Bregman nor any other player devised the scheme using the cameras. If he used the information they gave him, he didn't do anything 99% of the players on any team would not have done. with these multi-million dollar contracts, they will use what is given to them to help get their part of the money., |

If they keep winning, all of this will pass. If the offense craters, they'll never get away from it.

There has been a spike of bandwagon fans from the winning the last few years at visiting ball parks. If I am not mistaken the Stros are scheduled in Philly this season, that fan base will make it interesting. |

If you think the last few seasons showing up in Stros gear at Yankee Stadium was bad by being trashed with food and drink, just think how it is going to be this upcoming season.
