Congrats Rangers.... I haven't seen the shitbox lineup Dusty is going to post today but since Monty is a lefty we know Brantley won't be playing and he has a tendency to go super nutless when Verlander is on the hill so y'all have already won the series with Valdez blowing it all in Houston on Sunday #fml

The ol' reverse jinx.

Bold strategy Cotton.

I'll be there Sunday in person to watch the Rangers celebrate.

That's a full on direct jinx which undoes that reverse! ... or something.

Shit, I'm still reeling from the last two nights.

I fucking love/hate baseball.

Caught, admits it kinda but still tries to retain innocence, in the face of all evidence and knowledge to the contrary. 

I missed this part. Do organizations claiming innocence often fire their manager and GM?

This is a hate thread you imbeciles. Do you see stupid incest-ridden okies come in to threads breathlessly defending why they stole land and are forever known as land thieves during hate week and on threads designated for hate?

Houston. Cheating. Like, love it or hate it, it's what most baseball fans outside of geographical pockets of Texas associate with the modern era Astros. 

Some of you sensitive idiots need the pixelated glasses dropping down and deal with it better. It ain't going away, cheater.

Hoes mad.

FYI you're arguing with a dude that has a room temp IQ, and probably barely graduated from high school in the valley.

Ahhh see I was also confused because you mentioned “evidence and knowledge to the contrary “. which has absolutely never been proven against Altuve. Write clearer, dipshit.

Is your position that the Astros were cheating, sure, but Altuve was the one guy who wouldn't dare deign to do so?

Given his proclivity at GREATLY expanding the strike zone, combined with his home/road splits; yeah, there's a lot of fucking evidence that Altuve wasn't doing it.

In other words, with his swing first approach and almost zero regard for where the pitch is going  with regard to needing to cheat, would be  like accusing Howie Mandel of using too much hair spray.

Now don't your boys have some yards to mow or what the fuck?  Why are you here?

Really doesn't take a rocket surgeon to figure out that just because Altuve touched you and your puppet master Helo in your wrong place owning the Yankees going on 7 years (really 8+ because of 2015 lolz) it doesn't mean he did anything wrong...especially when your evidence against Altuve are lies spread by a fat faced goomba in New York named Jomboy...

Frontline did a great treatment of this including the evidence, interviews of MLB officials who in the interest of completeness in the investigation opted to offer immunity to the players to get the story. Nobody's arguing he didn't cheat, they have video.

Back on topic: Fuck the Rangers, Happy JV Day to all those who celebrate. Really looking forward to the Astros continuing to dominate the Rangers in Arlington and hope they can bring some of that sauce back home Sunday.

That Frontline documentary also had a whole section about the Altuve buzzer conspiracy theory that Jomboy started and pretty much called it bunk/lies, yet that its really what got the Altuve hate started and has keep it persistent through the years since, all based on a lie. No one is booing Correa or Springer anymore, its all falling on Altuve because of that rat fuck Jomboy.

Honestly, as much as it pains me to admit it, even with the cheating Altuve is a HOF'er. If you were able to magically cherry pick out the stats and achievements of his cheating, he still has the resume. 

But he will rightfully be tarnished (outside of Houston) and it will be a stain he has to wear. That's gotta be good enough.

The only place I ever see it brought up anymore is by thirsty, pussy ass Rangers fans like yourself.

 

Now go listen some more to Rhyner waxing nostalgic about Steve Buechele on your sports radio. Bitch.

That's exactly what guys like @slorch and others are doing. Arguing he didn't cheat.

My argument is more of either ‘He didn’t need to cheat’ or ‘ he really sucks at it if he did, given the results’

Haters see what they want.  So do fans.

That's exactly what I'm saying and pretty much what all the evidence points to happening except Altuve wasn't the only guy not participating.  More guys than not were going along with it, but Altuve wasn't the only one that didn't.

lol at the top two postseason HR hitters in MLB history being a known steroid user and a known cheater. 

It's a shame Springer & Correa aren't still on the team so that you would be in 5th place at best.

The video evidence and investigation specifically cited Altuve not using the trash can system. The evidence shows him and Josh Reddick opted out of it compared to other guys. 

Quote

Based on the percentage of bangs for all players with 200+ pitches seen:

  • Jake Marisnick - 22.8%
  • Marwin Gonzalez - 18.2%
  • Carlos Beltran - 18%
  • Yuli Gurriel - 16.6%
  • Alex Bregman - 16%
  • Carlos Correa - 15.4%
  • Evan Gattis - 15.4%
  • George Springer - 14.4%
  • Brian McCann - 8.4%
  • Derek Fisher - 7.6%
  • Norichika Aoki - 6.1%
  • Josh Reddick - 3.7%
  • Jose Altuve - 2.7%

The bangs should theoretically only occur when an off-speed pitch occurs. (Although in actuality, they were wrong enough times that it may have made the system counterproductive.) Some people react to this data by stating that maybe a higher percentage of fastballs were thrown to Altuve, but the site also documents that, showing that 454 / 886 pitches (51%) should have resulted in bangs. Jose Altuve received 24 bangs total (2.7%).

He reportedly got mad when he did receive a bang and went to tell the he guy doing it to fuck off. That's it, 24 pitches out of nearly a thousand that year, and he still gets shit about it. He's also continued to put up great numbers before and after the scandal broke, which would lend more evidence to the fact he didn't need it. 

Here's a fun interview with Astros Catcher Brian McCann insinuating that the Dodgers were stealing their signs with nobody on base during the 17 World Series: 

https://twitter.com/michaelschwab13/status/1320811145591181313/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1320811145591181313&currentTweetUser=michaelschwab13

 

Mookie Betts and the Red Sox on the other hand, apparently got an MVP and World Series using a sign stealing system after Alex Cora went there. Mookie also quoted as saying something like "everyone was doing it, but we didn't use it during the world series!" They knocked off the Dodgers, Astros and Yankees along the way, yet they don't get any shit for it. Mookie had an MVP year and has never come close to being as good as he was in 2018. Plenty of teams were doing this shit, and while that's not a great excuse, it's the reality of the situation. 

Oh and the best part of all this shit is the video guy who 11 Red Sox players named as the one decoding signs and relaying them to the dugout, was hired by the fucking Dodgers after his suspension. The Dodgers, who bitch and moan about this more than anyone else, and try to pretend like they would NEVER do THAT, went out and got the guy that was decoding and relaying signs for the Red Sox. Lol...

Does anyone know who won the World Series the year PitchCom debuted and made stealing pitch signs impossible? I can't recall. 

2022

But the truth is, if you get your pitch signs stolen in the playoffs your catcher and bench coach is pretty worthless.  Even if you have a direct camera on them

wasn't about the homerun.  It was an inside pitch that offended his highness.

 

Hell last niight, none other than baseball savant John Smotlz said it was OK to pitch Altuve high and tight because he was 'diving in.'

I quotes him because given the game situation, it's absolutely obvious to everyone not looking for an excuse.

 

Adolis has acted like a bitch multiple times.  That ain't on Smoltz or anyone else.  It's on Texas.
