StevieStats Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) I hope this year is filled with pitchers drilling hitters and brawls. I hope Bregman and Altuve get drilled so much they gotta take some time off with sore ribs. Especially that smug Bregman. https://twitter.com/ATTSportsNetSW/status/1048748222481457152?s=20 Edited January 18, 2020 by StevieStats 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Brother Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 The Trout stuff was total nonsense. Truly shocking 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmilne23 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) Any release from MLB after everything that’s gone in game since early 90s holds zero weight. The whole organization has sold out to the dollar as hard as the most criminal organizations in the world. Turned a blind eye to now MULTIPLE massive cheating scandals at the root of their sport. I think it’s safe to say anything MLB has to say on any matter is as good as the dump I’m about to take. They need to gut the whole commissioners office. Last commissioner with a spine banned a dude for life who bet on his own team to win baseball games. So what Pete Rose did as a manager outlaws him from the hall? When numerous dudes who injected roids are making it? I’m sure in 10-15 years nobody will remember the Astros players having a symphony telling them what pitch was coming and they’ll get in. The whole system is bull****. Mlb can take that statement and shove it up their a**. Probably means it’s more likely Mike Trout is as juiced as Bonds was since they’re commenting on it now.

Toronto did it for decades at the old park. But like he says, some get targeted and others get left off the hook. Meanwhile you can solve at least 90% if not more of this with a buzzer on the pitcher instead sending him the signals. Oddly, this was all before McDowell was in the majors. He never played for LaRussa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't get worse. The fans paid hard earned money to watch a farce. ...and yet those players responsible skate scott free. Hardnose baseball and drilling cheating scoundrels isn't ugliness, is justified punishment -- if the players don't police themselves it will never go away. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should throw fastballs at MLB then for not punishing the players (and probably the MLBPA too). And I can't think that taking a beanball next year will prevent cheating in the future. Just my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my team is playing Houston my pitchers are throwing at them, and they better make sure Altuve & the rest of those cheating scoundrels goes down... my team is going headhunting and every team needs to get on board. 25 minutes ago, The Big Bat Theory said: That is not "policing."

2ndCitySox Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 While I love sports in general, baseball has always been my passion. I played little league, collected baseball cards, reenacted the Kirk Gibson 88 world series home run arm pump, owned multiple Nintendo baseball games, read fangraphs articles religiously, develop nerdy spreadsheets for fantasy baseball (the only fantasy sport I play), and follow more news about the game than I should. This whole sign stealing thing is really disheartening to me. I was finally over the PED issues, then this comes into fruition. I'm so jaded over the game right now. It's sad. I hope MLB can fix this problem, but considering that 2 of the last 3 championships have been implicated, it's a horrible stain on the game. I still love baseball, but I'm not "in love". 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have one near you, try going to a minor league game or two next season. Good for what ails a fan jaded with the majors. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catcher should have the buzzer keypad in something like a harden hand warmer sleeve type of device attached to his chest protector that hides his hand and where he can slip his hand into and buzz the pitcher what to throw.
