The penalties for Houston are in

[RobToxin]

Is there any evidence at all that Bill O'Brien was involved?

Pretty please?

 

[ChiSoxFan]

And they're fired.

Good on Crane.

Wow!

 

[Win TWINS!!!]

MLB should do what the NCAA would do...

Vacate the World Series!!!

amirite @Inquisitor95?

 

[huskers1217]

Jim Crane has balls of steel. good for him

 

[fordman84]

So if they aren't employed, do their suspensions clock? Or will they need to be hired in order to serve a suspension?

"Pirates fire Clint Hurdle and Neal Huntington for roles in sign stealing during 2015 World Series champion season."

 

[black francis]

pretty funny considering all they were given for the cardinals cheating.

fuck them

Still trying to wrap my head around how they did it and how they thought they could continue to get away with it forever.

Glad they fired the GM and manager. But the whole city of Houston shouldn't be punished for the actions of a few.

Having to be Texans fans in football is bad enough.

Fuck that whole organization.

 

[tducey]

Both Hinch and Luhnow were fired as well. As good as the Astros have been the past few seasons I think a lot of that is lost now because of what has happened here.

 

[black francis]

boston cheats in pretty much everything

contract that city

Should’ve been worse. Should’ve lost draft picks for five years.

If you ask someone if winning a WS is worth it to lose two years of first and second round draft picks 99% of responses would say hell yeah it’s worth it.

I would trade the Mariners next 20 1st and 2nd round picks for a World Series.

Of course, that wouldn't really be giving up much value with the M's front office(s)

Asked about Manfred's assessment that Houston had a "problematic baseball operations culture", Crane responded, "I don't agree with that at all."

Sadly I'm gonna have to say, even he isn't this dumb

Certainly sweeps the whole "Osuna" mess under the table....

He obviously changed his tone and did what had to be done.

you wanting Ludnow a Ranger?

yeah Alex Cora really needs to be sweating right now..

but then again...boston doesn't care. he might get a raise

 

[Airraidtech]

They beat the Dodgers in the World Series. They should be getting a fucking medal, not punishment.

For me, whatever. We won the World Series and those faggot bandwagon Dodgers fans and stupid ass Hollywood celebrities cried in the stands. Fuck em, fuck Magic Johnson, fuck all of em.

We take our punishment and we move on. I grew up watching roidheads slam balls out of the park and we all cheered and turned a blind eye to it. Whatever.

The first one.

I’m a little surprised that no players will be disciplined. What- these batters heard trash cans banging and other code, and just assumed it was all legal intel? Cora and Beltran are at least as guilty as Hinch and Luhnow.
