"Rob Manfred: Astros Continued Sign Stealing Scheme During 2017 Postseason :"

"Rob Manfred continues to discuss the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal and he dropped some more information on Tuesday. Specifically, he claimed the Astros continued their trash-can banging scheme during the 2017 postseason, which contradicted Carlos Correa's claim that the team stopped using the system during the postseason. "

not sure why correa was adamant that wasn't done when it was, but he's just bringing caterpillar equipment out to make the whole bigger. their first game which is at the angels is getting more and more full of pissed off dodger fans me thinks.

This Astrros thing will play out in many ways all year. lotta pitches on the hands I think are coming. It sucks but is what it is

But Clayton Kershaw is healthy and has a baseball in his left hand, and that always makes me happy as it has for the last 11 years.
Dodgers have the best RF in baseball, the best CF not named Trout, tons of multi dimensional players that can play all over & arguably the best young pitcher in baseball ( Flaherty is going to have a year)
I like it.

Well now it’s official, this mess has LeeeBron chastising Manfred’s handling of it all.

He looks good in that Dodgers hat

He looks better here:

Fuck baseball.

[Woodsy]

Fuck baseball.

of all the balls we play sports with I think the construction of a baseball makes it least conducive to putting your dick in, but to each their own. I guess golf and cricket would be worse, but fuck a footbal, basketball, soccer ball, if thats your thing

[iceman]

Fuck baseball.

Because of Holt? I'm not happy about that either. Guy could play every position, wasn't gonna ever cost superstar money, and had an infectious positive attitude. wtf.

[Woodsy]

an infectious positive attitude. .

Nice to hear from the Troglodytes


EDIT:


Oh wait...he’s a Phish fan. I therefore apologize to any Troglodyte that I may have offended by the above statement .

[AdironRider]

Despite a couple forced metaphors, the most recent Philips article over on the Ringer was pretty good.

Blue Jays haven't lost yet!!

That was the icing on the meatball. Paying Peraza (who? Even my autocorrect changed it) like 25k less or so to replace him. Why Holt doesn’t make a mil for what he brings is beside me.
Go BrewCrew!

Just saw this from today.

No troglodyte works better. Just can’t do Phish. Even Phish Food is too chocolatey.

And I’ll edit this and avoid the trifecta:
Vibes to Dewey. His son died at 47 on Saturday. Sounds like he had a challenging life in the health side of things. Peace.

The Yanks felt bad about preemptively winning the world series so they decided to shut Severino down for the year.

[iceman]

Hey it's a start.

[Woodsy]

Rays AL East champs 2020

[BmillsSkier]

No one wins the World Series in February.

[irul&ublo]

Rays AL East champs 2020

20 says you’re wrong. In or out?

[Woodsy]

20 says you’re wrong. In or out?

Wow, I mean Tanaka would prolly be in the pen for the rays their starters are so good, but the Yanks have the offense in spades and a sick bullpen and can buy an arm at the trade deadline
Sure it will give me a reason to give a shit about the AL for a change. I am in.

[irul&ublo]

So we are clear...you have the Rays, I have the field. Correct?

[BmillsSkier]

Got a good feeling about the Oriels?
