What?

He had over a month to prepare a fake apology and he came out and said it didn't impact the game and we won the world series lmao

What do you think the follow-up question would have been if he said yes cheating is the reason we won those games?

IcePhoenix posted:

why go to all that effort when you can just read intruder's posts

:rolleyes:

e: anyway none of Crane's answers should have been surprising and I doubt any other owner would have answered any differently in his shoes. Not saying it isn't an empty apology just that it shouldn't be unexpected

I've seen people here and on Twitter question why the younger players would follow Beltran's lead and I'm just imagining myself as a wet behind the ears 24 year old showing up to work and meeting a 40 year old coworker and yeah I can kind of see it

Doesn't really apply to Altuve or Springer since they'd been around awhile

What would be fuckin cool instead of throwing at any players is if teams just forfeit any game to be played in Houston. Deny the team any real revenue. The obvious downside is they would end up with a record season, but this is actually great because it's another thing in their history that would have a big asterisk next to it.

I agree this would be the correct path, all through the postseason even

It's a pretty dangerous lineup to be handing out free bases like they were candy. And also, is everyone just assuming the Astros staff is going to just let it go? They might very well break the record for HBP taken AND given out.

They're not going to throw at the bottom of the lineup, they're going to throw at the dangerous hitters

They're not gonna get bean'd every AB, it'll happen in blow out games or situations where it's likely not going to make a difference.

I wasn't really holding this against the Astros players on a personal level since I know I wouldn't have said poo poo about the cheating if it were me, but their reaction has been so lovely these last few days that I am starting to get annoyed. They managed to lose a guy who doesn't really even care about cheating lol.

I have no idea what Correa was thinking in his comments

There's no way he thought anyone would buy that is there?

If you subscribe to the all publicity is good publicity school of thought, Manfred has been working this well - not from an integrity of the game or level of punishment perspective, but rather when was the last time baseball was a major topic of discussion in February? I wonder how many people are going to buy tickets to hate watch and boo the gently caress out of the Astros hoping one of them takes a fastball to the dome?

I do not in fact subscribe to that and think it's BS

You do not, if you're running your professional sports league, want a narrative of "we don't care if you cheat" spreading in regards to the league

I agree with the idea that someone who is cheating but hasn't been caught would never publicly express anger at someone who cheated and has been caught
