Not wishing physical to anybody but the Astros fan base as a whole has been pretty insufferable. Their reactions fall right in line with the players’. Not much sympathy as long as it doesn’t go too far. If you really felt  threatened, then sounds like some are taking it too far. 

That is a very bad take. 

Nah, they’ve been an embarrassment as a whole. They’ve managed to make Pat handwringers seem level headed. Not looking for anyone to be singled out but if adults wear Astros garb expect trash talk. It’s a product of the response of the team, the league and the fans.

I disagree. And what I’ve witnessed is beyond trash talk....and I have thick skin.

It’s gonna be a tough year for the astros. Every away game is going to be brutal. Lots of anger over this one and a lot of idiots out there

Everyone seems to forget that a fan didn't do the cheating and it IS just a game.  I can't stand people that get too worked up over something.  You're not going to live or die over this shit...

Yup. Today was much better. I was clapping along to cheer the Nats title and it threw a lot of Nats fans for a loop. They asked why I wasn’t booing & I simply said that they were the better team and to enjoy the title. That floored them.

Strange times down in WPB.

finally watched the aj hinch interview last night. I thought he came off pretty well. I think the owner is probably more to blame than AJ.

There is plenty to go around -- it was right for Hinch to be shit-canned.

I don’t disagree.

I don't and won't boo fans.  I am all for booing the players that cheated and the organization that fed it.
Hope you enjoy spring training!

Some fans deserve booing

Perhaps Yankee fans, I agree.

how about this Madison Bumgarner story where in the off-season he was roping in rodeo's under an alias? and won money doing it.  what a wild story.  kind of crazy because I'm sure doing that could end his contract if he got hurt.

Altuve's first game and he gets hit. Ha.

Good for you.  I'm a baseball fan first and Halos fan second so I applaud good play and winning and was ecstatic that the Nats won.

It's ok NOT to be a damn homer all the time.

Same here. That was a fun series to watch and the better team win. Simple as that. We went to practice the last 2 days and got to meet a lot of the players, which was cool. Got to chat with Dusty at a bar last night as well. Good times!

You won't be as fond of him after he mismanages your club, playing his favorites (vets) and burning up the bullpen.
I always loved Dusty as a person - really is one cool frigging guy - but I grew to hate him as a manager when he was the skipper for the Reds.
He is very poor at how he uses his rosters.  Very poor.
Players do love the guy, though.  (Again, he seems pretty cool)

he IS cool. I chatted with him for a bit as he sat on his badass Indian motorcycle.

The point was it was super great to talk baseball with him. 

Cliffy6745

This is a great listen.  CC is the best, but overall a great conversation about pitching, baseball in general and a good talk on the Astros and cheating.

Astros stuff starts around 25 minutes or so.  If you didn't know, players are pissed.

Sorry, didn't mean to rain on your parade.  I would enjoy talking about pretty much anything with the guy.  (Now...not so sure when he was the manager of my favorite team! )  Glad you got the chance to meet him.
