I am sure I won't be alone rooting like crazy for anyone playing the Astros next year.  

I am with you.  I also think Altuve is a big pos after seeing the video again.

No proof but I find the whole shirt thing after the Homer to be damning.  F that guy.
Also, I am in the camp of folks thinking this is much worse than Pete Rose.

some pitcher for the d**gers said he’d rather face a guy on steroids than a guy who knew what pitch was coming.

on a side note, pretty sure my giants haven’t known pitches in at least the last three years.

There's no doubt that knowing the pitch is an exponential advantage vs roids..

Ha.  Yeah, the Reds don't cheat, or they are awful at it if they do

Few things. This is so fucking soft and weak. That fucking smugness is gone. He is shook. If he continues with this approach he’s gonna have a bruised body 

Why does everyone think opposing pitchers are going to constantly bean these guys now?

That's not how it works...

Even in the comments people keep mentioning beaning.  I guess the mob gets a crazy idea and the rest run with it?

Beacause clevenger already said he is. Why do you insist on playing devils advocate to troll? You can’t possibly believe this shit 

Believe what?

I don't think that every pitcher is going to bean them.  One pitcher said it but there are comments in the Bregman video that have ZERO to do with what Clev said.

What do you think I believe?  No I'm not trolling I don't understand the question.

Still waiting @Cliffy6745

Did Clev say that? I don't recall hearing that in the video.  I don't think pitchers will be head hunting,  but I think there Stros will be booed mercilessly, and you might get some reactions from pitchers after Ks

Clevinger mentions it yes.  

The twitter trolls see one person say it then it becomes the only thing they have to go off of and makes it sound like EVERY pitcher will be throwing at these guys.

I think it's a case of the "telephone game" and just spreads and peoples opinions get mistaken for facts...I guess we will see come next year.

I also noticed that Bauer is getting a TON of press lately.  He will get a ban hammer on twitter soon if he hasn't already.

Got nothing man. Don’t care that much. You’re playing devils advocate on everything here for the sake of doing so it seems to me

F Me In The Brain

I think the idea of pitchers being pissed and beaning these cheaters makes sense.  That stated, I think that being upset about the Astros being a bunch of cheaters should not mean that someone's career could be ended.  No head hunting.  Period.  I think if your problem with someone is so bad that you are willing to throw at their head you should just meet them in the tunnel before the game and duke it out.

will Jeter get 100% of the vote?

He should... but probably won't.  I don't like him,  but he's the second greatest SS ever... behind Omar Vizquel obviously.

Jeter is my favorite player but he was not the best SS.  Rodriguez was a better SS than he was.

What he was great at was being in the right place with instinct, think of "the flip" and was a fantastic presence in the clubhouse and being a captain.

He was voted year after year to be the player to build a team around.

I would love to see him unanimously voted in but I don't think the writers do that.

Not agreeing w you makes me devils advocate?

Got it!

Someone will vote against out of Yankee hate.  Dude clearly is one of the best ever to play SS.  Did everything well other than power...and really, he hit 260 bombs so he wasn't bad at that.  Could barrel it up when he wanted to.  His defense wasn't always great but his intangibles are among the best I ever saw. 

As much of a shoe-in for the hall call as there ever will be.

Any chance for clemens or bonds?

Wishful thinking.

I wonder if Alex Rodriguez or Palmiero ever see the inside of the hall?  They both got popped twice and to me that is a death bell but I would still vote them in.

Jeter doesn’t deserve to be unanimous outside of the fact that he’s a no brainer. If we’re reserving unanimous for guys that are even more special than a typical HoF, I just don’t think he has “it”.

Have you ever looked at his stats next to other great SSs?  Then you add in the magic bullshit the dude pulled so many times and being a captain on all time great teams, and never being beaten up in the press for anything other than having a magic cock?

I'm not a yanks guy but he is pretty special, even next to other HoF-ers. 

Just my opinion.

tbergs

They wouldn't even give Maddux or Griffey 100% so no way Jeter gets it. He'll be at like 98%. It's almost like there's a secret pact where they agree one of them will make sure they don't vote the no-brainer, best player at their position in a generation in at 100%.
