Stanton "I'd hit 80 home runs if I knew the pitch, and if I could stand upright for 162 games"

[Sparhawk]

It'll be a topic until AT LEAST the All Star Break.

It'll be a topic for as long as Astros keep getting plunked and the league commissioner does nothing about it except talk tough. The players got this.

Every team cheats. Astros and Red Sox got caught. I hope Fiers takes a line drive to the kneecap.

"Everyone" cheats by wearing buzzers? I'm not sure this article is correct.

Allegations claim Astros players wore buzzers inside their jerseys

Everyone cheats in their own way. Astros got caught. Red Sox got caught. Braves got caught when we were losing 90+ games a year.

If your team isn’t cheating, they don’t care enough about winning

Or you can't win the right way. 100% disagree. It's an excuse for cheating, not everyone cheats

Sounds naive to me

Yet he still couldn't hit the slider when he knew it was coming.

That's true but he could still get better by knowing when it was coming. Most of the guys who strike out on a slider are swinging at pitches out of the strike zone. So if he knew a slider was coming he could just stand there.

Okay, the Astros got caught cheating and in my opinion, they need to relinquish the 2017 World Series trophy. Especially if the Astros wore buzzers to know what the batters knew what pitch was coming.

That’s dumb.

Okay fair enough, but why is it dumb? The Astros won the 2017 World Series by cheating.

So has every other team that has ever won the World Series

What's hilarious is that the Astros actually LOST a World Series while cheating. They should be contracted just for that reason alone

But they didn't get caught cheating and you and I have no proof, "that every MLB team has cheated".

Prove it? Ohh wait, we have no proof so it's just an opinion I guess

Prove they didn’t.

What you people call cheaters, I call innovators.

My first sports love was NASCAR, and Smokey Yunik and Junior Johnson are held in the highest regard despite them being responsible for over half of the rule book

Again "not every team got caught".

We are talking about baseball, not NASCAR.
