[@rickbrenner6079]

@@RobertoRodriguez-ho7we I think the point is that out of all the Astros hitters this season that get hit, Josh Reddick will get hit the MOST because he continues to double-down on saying the cheating didn't impact the game, that the Astros would've won the WS with or without the cheating because they were the "best team in baseball", and he continues to give off this cocky, unapologetic, arrogant attitude. At least Altuve and Bregman made formal apologies (as weak as those apologies were). Reddick had the cajones to question why apologizing to the Dodgers and Yankees was even necessary. Lastly, I disagree with your "point", Roberto, that Josh Reddick will "take it like the man he is". If he "takes it like the man he is", then Reddick (after getting hit with a 100mph fastball) SHOULD gently put his bat down, walk the pain off, take 1st base, and keep his mouth shut. I'm betting, HOWEVER, that Josh Reddick WON'T "take it like the man he is" and will instead (after getting hit) charge the pitcher's mound angrily, take multiple swings at the pitcher, and incite a bench-clearing brawl; one that could end up being a brawl for the ages.

[@bigchas77ify]

This affected way more players than most realize. It's not just about a title. Players were given lesser contracts or even sent to the minor leagues because they got beat up by a contender like the Astros. There was a huge ripple affect caused by this that extends past a championship trophie or banner hung in their stadium.

[@checkocelano390]

As a former ball player, stealing signs is common. In most people eyes if you can figure out the other teams signs it's fair. By trying to read them on the field, while playing etc... If your opponent figures out your signs, it is your fault. That is why many teams have secondary signs ready. But it is a complete different story when you use technology to steal signs. Astros should've gotten their title stripped 100% and the MLB should have made an example out of the 2017 Houston Astros of what can happen.

[@richjustin06]

Strip them of their trophy. Refund Dodger season ticket holders. Fire the general manager. Fine the players and organization. Suspend their playoff eligibility for one season.
