  1. They weren't wearing them on the field you dumbass. And weren't using them in 2018.
  2. Where is the Mookie Betts wrist buzzer stuff coming from?
  3. You're called a dumbass because you are not supported by intelligent brain cells.
  4. I'm as hard on the Astros as anyone and I think the buzzer stuff is just dumb. It makes no sense that he would be doing something completely different than everyone else.
  5. Altuve won the MVP in 2017 and has been the face of the franchise. He's an easy target because of that. His MVP is now a joke too.
  6. It's a big scandal because they cheated and were the champions. The World Series went to game 7, so they likely don't win without cheating. Why would they continue to cheat if it didn't work? Anyone who has played baseball knows that if you know what pitch is coming you have a much greater chance of hitting it. The Dodgers are pissed because the cheating directly cost them a championship. Would you not also be pissed? No one truly believes that the Astros were the only team doing this. We just don't and won't ever know how widespread it was. Likely only a few teams at most, not the entire league as Astro fans would have you believe. The Astros seem to have been the dumbest and most obvious about it, though. The 2019 Astros were better than the 2017 Astros. Both teams were good enough on talent alone to win a championship though. The two biggest instigators of the cheating, Beltran and Cora, were gone by 2019. That probably played a big role in their cheating being stopped, if it actually did.
  7. I contribute the lack of a PG that year as much if not more so to Barnes. That said Shaka should have found some JUCO PG who could handle the ball.
  8. Congrats to all of you who ran but especially to @Your Mom kid. Way to go to that badass.
  9. I can't wait for it to come out that they weren't cheating so that I can watch all of the Astros fans lose their minds. They will go apeshit.
  10. I mean you've got a bunch of guys who have literally spent thousands of hours to reach a goal, something that they have dreamed about all of their lives and they now feel like it was ripped away from them. How do you expect them to act?
  11. This game did happen because of injuries. So will losing out on the season. That doesn't excuse the last 5 years of abysmal offensive basketball.
  12. The thought process that they would have won the World Series anyway because you didn't get signs with a man on second is just stupid. How did that guy get on base? Was it because of a stolen sign? How many pitches were you able to lay off during the series because you knew it was a breaking ball coming, thus running up the pitch count for the opposing team? If you stole even one sign during the World series it helped you to win the series.
  13. Have you invited your local cops into your house to investigate whether you have ever murdered anyone? If you were truly innocent you would have already done that. Funny how you haven't. You must be a murderer.
  14. You couldn't hit anything thrown by a MLB pitcher.
  15. 10+ teams filed complaints on the Astros for it. I doubt they're all filing a complaint if they are doing the same thing.
  16. The same blue bloods who were winning while you had 3 straight 100 loss seasons and are still winning when you finally got good? They aren't jealous of anything the Astros have done.
  17. This is all so stupid. Nobody hates the Astros because they are jealous of them. You are the fucking aggy of the MLB. You've won 1 championship in your entire history. That championship is the most tainted championship in the history of the sport. You are equal to aggy sitting in a room crowing about your 1 championship to Alabama, Clemson, Texas, Ohio State and USC. The reason everyone hates you is because you are the most tone deaf organization in the sport. Your team has almost literally come out and said that winning is more important than the safety of women or even being a decent human being. Your front office has lied repeatedly. That's why you don't get the benefit of the doubt.
  18. Did you ask them what the fuck that is?
  19. There's a lot of stupidity on this thread regarding CDC. None of this falls on his shoulders, yet. The guy has actually opened the pocket books for assistant coaches the last couple of years. CDC did not hire or extend Shaka. He also will not fire Shaka without the money to do so. Shaka only gets fired this year if a BMD or two are willing to pony up the money for the rest of the contract plus the new coaches buyout. If no one is willing to do that then Shaka will be back next year. CDC also has a track record of hiring pretty damn good coaches. Just look at his hires at Texas already.
  20. Hitting numbers are down in college baseball from 20 years ago. A lot of that has to do with the NCAA deadening the bats to reduce the hitting to more normal numbers. So no more 20-18 games.
  21. Last year really took a lot of wind out of the sails. As for this year I think we have some reasons to be optimistic. I think our pitching will be solid all year if not outright dominant at times. Our hitters are young but talented. There will be lots of growing pains at the plate. We will be flat out ugly at times. I think we hit well enough though to finish 4th or 5th in conference. Win a game or two in the conference tournament and then are a very tough out in the NCAA tournament. I do think we are better at the end of the year than at the beginning. I just don't see any way that Street and Tulowitzki allow the wheels to fall off the tracks this year. They should be good bumpers for these players to keep the metaphoric bowling ball in the lane.
  22. What would you be willing to bet me on this?
  23. We gonna get raped.
  24. How is Tech only favored by 2.5?
  25. We go undefeated and win the national championships. We all get laid afterward. Half of Surly tries getting pegged after watching Nowthis' videos.
