Now this is a cheating scandal. Holy shit. Every time I've checked twitter this week it seems something new has come out.

Jack McDowell trying to blow everything from the 80's up now??

People tossing grenades all over the place.

Time to fold MLB and make the NFL year round.

^ He looks like a henchman that would be disposed of early in a 90's action film.  

Yeah he does... but I love guy.  He has dynamite stuff and a workhorse.  He’ll throw 120 pitches without blinking,

Damn... Clev laid into them, and he was dead on.  He’s not talking about the integrity of the game, but really gets it from the struggling players view.  I officially love Clev more than I did 5 minutes ago.  And of course he’s getting a new tat...

Yeah I was kind of wondering if he was actually getting a tattoo or if that was for show.   As someone with no tattoo experience, I would think that the rules of conduct that apply to getting a haircut also apply to getting a tattoo burned onto your forearm.  Yes?  No?  If I try to look at down at my watch during a haircut and I get yelled at.

I'm a Halos fan, thanks for playing!

A wrinkle in a persons jersey is just that.

Now lets just back up a second w  this pic.

If you look at the whole picture he is wearing an underarmour shirt.  If you are wearing that and you want to have a wire touching your skin are you
A) wearing it outside of the underarmour shirt and may not feel the vibration or 
Wearing this wire closer to your skin so you can feel it?

The correct answer is B.  So if it is underneath his underarmour shirt how does it make an impression to the outside of his jersey?

It doesn't.  Why?  Because it's just a wrinkle in the jersey...

so you are buying the 'i'm shy' defense for not wanting to have his jersey ripped off by his teammates?

I’m glad they cleaned house and got rid of AJ & Luhnow. I’m glad they signed George & hope they can sign him long term. This may be one of the toughest seasons to be an Astros fan, but I will stand by my team. That being said, I’m not an idiot and it’s clear that this investigation was warranted. I’m still looking forward to our first ST down in Florida. But yeah, it’s a terrible look and this off-season has been brutal. I’ve been a fan of this team since I was little & I will remain a fan.

He may not have wanted his jersey ripped?  I don't know.  I'm not buying that the pic above is a wire for my reasons explained.

The twiitersphere is going crazy w pics and theories and players nieces supposedly dropping dimes now, cmon.  Stop it.

Let the reporters report and dig stuff up.  

I still can't believe a player outed the team like that.

Except it doesn’t really look the same as the rest of the wrinkling. 

Now I’ve heard 3 different excuses from him for  not wanting his jersey ripped, 1)jealous Latina wife 2)saving for daughter and 3) he’s shy

why’d he leave the field almost immediately? When there’s already a raging fire, and you see a little smoke nearby, it’s likely another fire. 

Wasn’t answered earlier, but why is Lunhow such a focus?

Now you have a problem with a dude outing players for cheating?

I don't know what to think about Altuve...fucking guy looks guilty as hell after that home run off chapman.

Yeah he does. And how about his excuse for not wanting his shirt ripped off by his teammates? He's shy and doesn't want his shirt ripped off. Of course, this led to fans on Twitter finding dozens of public photos with his shirt off: https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/01/houston-astros-cheating-buzzers-jose-altuve-shy-jersey-twitter

And for some more circumstantial evidence:


These guys are worst than the Black Sox, Pete Rose, any old-school "spit-ballers", and the PED guys combined.

Putting words in peoples mouths again?

That isn't what I said.  In meaning it looks like he may shoot himself in the foot if other players think he will blast out everything that happens on a team.

I wouldn’t say worse than Black Sox or Pete Rose but definitely the others. Did the Black Sox basically get paid to lose? People tend to forget the level of shit baggery that Rose has been a part of since he was banned.

But with the Black Sox, they cheated nobody but themselves and gamblers. As for Rose, if his claim that he only betted on games that he wasn't managing, that's bad, but not as bad as actually effecting results. I think the Astros cheating so egregiously in the WORLD SERIES is way worse than any of that, to me anyway.
