Da C. So what’s? There is no one with even a modicum of intelligence who believes Bonds or Clemens was natural. You’re right it was never proven that either one used anabolic steroids, but we’re not speaking about being denied a Constitutionally protected right. They weren’t arrested, tried, and convicted for their use of steroids, which if proven they could have been because steroids are illegal. Why weren’t they arrested? Because there wasn’t conclusive proof, but there is certainly enough circumstantial evidence that they used steroids to deny them into entry into the HOF, which is not a God-given, Constitutional right. Pete Rose is just as deserving, if not more than either one of these two and he’s being denied for far less. I actually happen to be a big Roger Clemens fan, but I’m big enough to swallow my pride and admit that he cheated, which besides diminishing the integrity of the game, brings the validity of his pitching accomplishments into question.

You’re right, they’re actually MORE juiced up. I have multiple friends in the MLB, and my brother in law played in the MLB for a couple years. All of them have told me that once you reach the college level in competitive sports that’s when the juicing begins and by the time you get to the professionals everyone is on them. Hell, some even started in high school. HGH is undetectable, everyone is on that. Most new steroid formulas are formulated with the purpose of passing drug tests. Then there is sarms, stem cell, blood oxygenation, and other forms of enhancement. Players are 3x more enhanced nowadays. I’d bet my life savings on that.

[@alntr2872]

hardly any hit and run, or hitting the other way, or good bunting, or double steal or great base stealers; the shift is bad, once in a while ok for strategy, but every inning there is a shift now, a very good hitter can bat 450 against the shift, like boggs, or gwynn, or carew.....; so I agree with you.

The pitchers were also on roids back then so it was an almost equal footing.

[@keith6706]

The pitchers were the ones who had the greatest advantage. Roids might make you stronger to muscle more balls out of the park, but it does nothing to improve your coordination and timing. McGuire and Bonds still had to be outstanding hitters. But would roids really can do is improve _recovery_ after a heavy workout, and which position requires the most recovery after a game, so much so such that they only play every third or fourth game and often don't even end the ones they start because of muscle fatigue and pain?

[@vanhattfield8292]

When I hear that one team "steals" the other teams signals, I have hard time seeing it as a fault of the team that intercepts the signals, instead I see it as failure of the team sending in concealing them. I always thought that one good way to prevent this would be to have the catcher NOT conceal his signs but have the pitcher also openly send a sign and go with the pitchers sign occasionally. This doubles the possibilities that have to be deciphered, decided on and relayed to the batter within the same time restraint. I am not sure of the legality of using electronic devices but imagine if the catchers mitt had an on/off switch in the thumb and then pressure activated buttons in each of the the fingers, these can be tiny. The pitcher could have micro actuators in each of the four fingers of his mitt. The catcher turns his on, sends a code using the 4 different buttons to the pitcher, which he receives through his mitt. He then nods when he understands, the catcher flips the switch back to "off" (preventing unintentional signals) and the pitch is sent. Repeat as necessary. Completely discreet, the electronics would easily be built into the gloves and no chance to be intercepted. Making them multi-frequency would make the signal much more difficult to "block" or intercept by the other team and MLB could actually assign frequencies and be able to monitor this as well. The NFL uses radios in the quarterbacks helmets in which verbal messages are sent and received and that is accepted as part of the game so I dont believe including electronics as described in MLB should be an issue at all and would completely eliminate the problem of "sign stealing" very simply.

[@UndeadVikingVideos]

While they did cheat, to say they were bombing HRs at home...they hit 8 more HRs on the road than at home...and batted .284 on the road as opposed to ..279 at home. In fact, all of their hitting was better on the road than at home.

As an Astros fan I definitely don't condone what they have done. However, you might be very surprised, if you go look at the stats from 2017 and 2018. Their road stats were much better then their home stats the past couple of year. But in 2019 they were a better home team. Which is what makes the 2019 playoffs and even the world series that much more anomalous, as the road team won every game in the 2019 world series. So the stats might be a little misleading regarding their obvious cheating in the 2017 season and perhaps beyond. To be frank, what they did was obvious and egregious fucking cheating and I hate it! Because their world series championship in 2017 is forever tainted. But amazingly and surprisingly over the past few years, offensively they have been a much better road team. But non-astros fans will take that for what its worth...….

The buzzing isn’t proven yet, just speculation around the game (seems pretty likely though) the trash can thing he was talking about 100% happened though which is hilarious

[@1080p120hz]

Brandon Neely if you’re going to believe the accusations about the buzzer you also have to believe that Gleyber Torres was using a buzzer. He was also implicated by the fake Twitter account, this is conveniently ignored and not mentioned by Yankee fans and the media.

[@Hollowhalf17]

1080p120hz I don’t believe the twitter account, that’s why I said the buzzer isn’t proven. But I was hyped up about it all when I typed that (why i said it’s pretty likely) But MLB has come out and proven the trash can thing. That’s all I was on about.

1919 Chicago White Sox lost World Series on purpose for money and was banned for life. Pete Rose bet on his own team to win and was banned for life. Astros cheated for years and not one player suspended for one game. Pathetic, the Astros players involved need to be booed for the rest of their career. Rob Manfred needs to be fired and majors suspensions need to be dealt and World Series title and rings need to be taken.

American sports are dying quickly lol NFL rules and refs are garbage. Baseball rules and umps are making it impossible. Basketball isn't as exciting as it was early 2000s. It's not competitive just a shooting practice basically. Soccer is growing rapidly because of these other sports problems.

[@ericcoyne7817]

I like soccer cause they actually want goals to be meaningful.

To be fair NFL regular season games can end in a tie (don't agree with that) but also goals in soccer are meaningful by default cause most games there aren't many scored.

2017 was a year for baseball. The major league home run record was set, crushed by a mile. 2018 & 2019 haven’t been any different, which is why it has become a lot more fun to watch recently. There is some pretty solid evidence against Altuve here, which leads me to wonder... why aren’t you player getting in any trouble? He clearly knew that was an unwritten rule, and that nobody would be okay with it.

It’s astonishing nobody noticed that “ Boom Boom” on garbage can. How could that connection not be made. I would think if the league wanted to save baseball from this they would have had a clandestine conversation with the Astros and cut that off real early.

Totally agree, and whats going to be an even worse scenario, when the Astros start getting plunked, and they WILL get plunked, whats going to happen to the pitchers that hit them? The pitchers are going to get tossed, fined and suspended. What happened to the cheating loser Astro players? Nothing.

[@natecutler2012]

I'm a yankee fan and I hate the Astros as much as the next guy but the fact that the Astros in 2017 went 53-28 on the road (without cheating) and 48-33 at home (with cheating) kinda suggests this whole thing is overblown. Kinda like how everyone thought deflated footballs actually mattered and then Brady destroyed everyone anyway.
