If you're outraged by sign stealing and your favorite MLB team won playoff games and series and maybe even WS titles with PED-abusing players on your team's roster...then you are a hypocrite and need to take a seat.
You see me empty, Sir, do not pause and inquire, simply assume and refill.

The only person happy with the way Manfred is handling his job is Bud Fucking Selig.
I never imagined a worse commissioner. Jesus what a shit show...
Gary Bettman wins for worst commissioner. Letting all those northeast teams go south, basically allowing the stars to cheat against the sabers in the cup finals, getting rid of two line passing, 2 refs on the ice, visors for every player, 2 lockouts, I could go on. He literally gets booed handing of the stanley cup to the winning team.
Ron: I just don't feel like going out tonight
Sammi: Wanna just break up?

As a hockey fan, and a Sabres fan, I disagree.
IMO, Selig was far worse, and Manfred is making Selig look like Mountain Landis.
Bettman has been overall good for the NHL and hockey. The sport has grown in the US, and the two lockouts were necessary for the sport, and decisive wins for Bettman's side. The result of those lockouts is that places like Buffalo and Winnipeg and Edmonton (and others) can remain in business.
There are some terrible things as well. Offsides challenge, awful points/standings system, terrible league discipline.

You are not a fan of visors for every player? Greg MacTavish agrees lol.

Have the goalies go back to Gump Worsley style w no masks!
Manfred apologizes for calling the World Series trophy a piece of metal. Can't believe he devalued what these guys are playing for
I never thought anyone could make Goodell look so good by comparison. This guy is a mess.
It's like in order to be a commissioner of one of the 4 major North American sports leagues, you have to be a total moron and be completely out of touch with sports.

That's not completely accurate. You need to be able to deflect crap from the owners and project it onto yourself and make sure the corporation is still making money.
Acting like a moron may be part of the prerequisites for applying though?
Joe Girardi may just admitted to using a sign stealing system: "I was part of a system where it came from upstairs, to someone in the dugout, to the hitt.. er 2nd base ..." on the MLB network.

It will be interesting to see what teams have outspoken players on the sign stealing and what teams have no players commenting on the sign stealing over spring training (other then "we need to move on"). I can't imagine anyone that has been in a cheating system will say a peep.

This was why I had said it was no big deal at first. Figured most teams were doing it in one form or another. No players said anything.
After the dust has settled and you have players like Judge and Trout saying something then you know things weren't as widespread as I had thought.
Comments
NEVER have I seen a backlash of players coming out publicly and ripping the players, never.
Trout and Judge said something so that leaves me to believe that other teams weren't doing it.
I will now officially reverse my stance on how this was not a bigger deal than what I initially thought and now say that it is a HUGE deal.
Man I was really, really wrong on this one...
With the Astros players and owners doing a shit job at trying to gain forgiveness they continue to make themselves look worse.
Strip the title from them now. Players have immunity for 17 but if they cheated in 18 or 19 then bring the hammer down on them. I'm ok with a ban now.
