There's some pretty strong evidence/actions/videos of Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman actually wearing buzzers under their jerseys to tell them when pitches were coming. At first thought....I know the idea sounds preposterous but catching dozens of videos including Altuve's game winner over Chapman I can say I'm curious and honestly believing it. You guys can find the video but when Altuve was coming home....he was holding that jersey in place so tight it couldn't be ripped off like normal. Post game celebrations too...he always said his wife didn't like him having his shirt off. I bet! She knows he's got a buzzer under there. Hear is a lengthy read that is pretty interesting. Written before any firings happened. https://www.royalsreview.com/2019/12/2/20964176/on-the-astros-and-sign-stealing-its-complicated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay tuned I'm trying to just take it in and not react....but this one is pretty big. Not only for Astros but all of baseball. You have so many players coming out now talking about it because the veil/whistleblower status has been blown and players don't fear being labeled a snitch. Yu Darvish (knew he would) was talking about it last night because the Astros said he was tipping his pitches vs Dodgers in playoffs....saying it was so easy,etc.....no Houston. It's easy because of probably something else. Give me roids and gambling all day long over this. Roids can't help you in the box if you don't know whether it's heat or slider coming at you. Astros crossed a line so deep....I hope MLB isn't done with them yet. Red Sox too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's almost like baseball folks knew what was going on? I'm still waiting what an old school guy like Verlander has to say? Or even Nolan Ryan for that matter since he's the face of the Astros.

He's ticked because this GM promised a few things in terms of helping the team and nothing has happened. Most GM's have been saying privately I guess that Rockies GM expectations for Arenado were never realistic. Kind of makes it looks like a GM who can say I tried to do something without actually expecting a thing to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker probably has the best track record of anyone managing a team or players with the term "cheating" next to name. Bonds, Sosa....players love him. Couple of these teams could do far worse considering all factors. I won't ever forgive for ruining our young arms on the North Side but the guy does win.

Rivera was the greatest reliever of all time. Not saying he does not belong in Hall. He obviously does. But you can't say he is unanimous just because Rivera was.
