Should The Houston Astros' Punishment Be More Harsh?

[black francis]

its really only a $3M fine because the Cardinals gave them $2M for not changing their password

Now Altuve and Bregman are accused of using vibrators (lol).

buzzers under their jersey that vibrates for different pitches.

That's kind of risky. They should have hid them in their ass like Springer

Astros may set the record for hit by pitches this season

Yeah, that'll really teach them a lesson.

did i say that would be the only penalty, dipstick? but i don't think they want to lose their world series championship.

You need to seriously rethink your life choices.

The Dodgers probably cheated as well, but people are afraid to say anything because 90% of the Dodger fan base is comprised of convicted violent felons. The other 10% are the ones they’re really afraid of because they haven’t been caught yet.

 

[da55bums]

no, stealing signs has been done forever, just a new way to do it.

no, to declaring Dodgers winners, unless you want them to go back and play against the Yankees and whoever else the Astros defeated.

This will take baseball twice as long to recover from than the steroid scandals.

Congrats to the NHL and NBA who benefit most from this.

I think a fun unofficial punishment (and I could actually see this sort of happening), would be for other teams to drill at least one batter per game against the Astros. Imagine what that does to their psyche by June knowing they might get a fastball to the spine every time they step to the plate.

The MLB Sign-Stealing Scandal keeps going on. The Astros have finally gotten a punishment for cheating by sign-stealing. They were fined $5 million and General Manager Jeff Luhnow was fired and that was basically it. It just doesn't seem to be enough to really punish the Astros. I feel like more people who were involved should be fired and the fines should be higher. To me and to a lot of other people, cheating is intolerable. At least I will tell you something true in this thread: cheating is never cool.

I agree that cheating is not cool, but sign stealing in baseball has been going on for generations.

No, I was just checking out some chick sitting right behind home plate, yeah, that's the ticket....

Yeah, they've been using cameras, monitors in the dugout and buzzers for decades.....
