[Goo Punch 4275]

[immortal13 4059]

Hey, I know a guy that likes to start lots of threads...

Significant but I feel like it should include loss of picks or international signings too.

You serious, Clark?

[ss13 1832]

They lose 4 picks.

Fuck the Astros...cheating bastards

[shnsajax 3591]

I just don’t really give a shit about a GM being suspended. Manager and loss of ability to draft or sign would be better.

[Jive Turkey 12641]

my Astros friends are happy Hinch will be suspended.  they'll take the title in exchange for that.

[ss13 1832]

Did you read anything? Hinch out for a year too, next two years of 1st & 2nd-round picks gone.

Uhh, read the tweets. Hinch is also suspended and they lose first and second rd picks this year and next.

Reading MLB's statement... they're gonna go absolutely nuclear on Cora.

[Vic Mackey 47129]

I mean any team would trade a championship for a few measly suspensions and draft picks. I know I would. Same as the NFL with the Patriots. They will give them a slap on the wrist but no league has the balls to go any further than that. 

[shnsajax 3591]

Y’all are supposed to post the tweet here for me to read.

Which I now see after my original post.

[txhorns 2413]

That's harsher than I thought they would get.  Do the Astros just have to go without a manager and GM for a year with subordinates filling in or can they hire a one year replacement to fill in until Hinch and Luhnow can come back?

[ss13 1832]

They’ll use bench coach & assistant GM. And it’s not technically year-long suspensions, from today until day after WS.

They lose 4 pics, but I thought it was still fairly light.  International signings are more valuable than draft picks.

I'm sure they will have an interim. But fuck them, Hinch knew what they were doing. Their title should be stripped

What a little biotch you are being

dont care have title

[Iceman 2725]

the 'cheating had such a profound impact that the Astros were significantly better on the road in 2017. and went 2-2 at dodger Stadium in the WS.

 

Astros in 6 in 2020.  Fuck the crybaby motherfuckers in MLB.  Take it out on the opponents.

How do you know they weren't doing in on the road?

 

[ss13 1832]

This is fun too.

In addition, Brandon Taubman, who was in the center of the Roberto Osuna/harassing reports drama after the ALCS, has been placed on the league’s ineligible list, meaning he’s effectively banned from baseball.

 

[Beau Vine 54381]

"Luhnow admantly denies knowledge of [the schemes]"

Yeah, no one believes that, Jeffery-boy.

And the Red Sox had better be looking for a new manager, because I'll bet Cora gets more than a year.

Does he have a lawsuit here, or is this one of the things the anti-trust exemption lets MLB get away with?

Yeah, Cora is gonna get SLAMMED.

I haven't kept up much with their little scandal. Why is he going to get a much bigger punishment than Hinch? 

[Beau Vine 54381]

And actually, Taubman also got only a season suspension, but he has to apply for reinstatement for some reason.

Because he was actively involved in the scheme. Doesn't really hold water to me because Hinch knew and is therefore just as guilty

Exactly. No way Hinch did not know about that sort of thing. And if he really didn't (he did), that makes it look just at worse. Meaning he has no control at all of his team.

He already admitted he knew

[ss13 1832]

Hinch admitted he knew, read some of the above posts.

He was actively involved in 2 different organizations

Cora and Beltran were the ringleaders of this scheme.  AND he did it with 2 different teams.  He could get a lifer ban potentially.

Congrats on your tainted title, 'Stros. #*

Thanks. We like it. Ain’t no asterisk on it.
