Does he have heart problems?Wonder if it's a high tech zio patch...
Not sure, but if he did, I'd view them more as "opportunities".

i'm a simple dry snitch
couldn't agree more. Kevin Kennedy says almost the same on his show, it's a good listen.
he does a brief history of "cheating" - Toronto's (alleged) man in white, the shot heard round the world (didn't know that one), etc.
IMO, sign stealing used to be gamesmanship (not the telescopic kind mentioned above) - with tech, it's not so much anymore & flat out wrong.
At this point, I’m probably too old to break into the bigs, but If I had technology that let me sit on a fastball, I would smash every home run record known to man. They’d have to move the fucking walls back. I’m laughing my head off just thinking about it.

You play in an adult T-ball league
I didn’t read this, I’m too busy laughing.
it's a fake account, I think.
The article says it doesn’t work because somewhere in the neighborhood of 70% are arrested again. Tell me how they’ll commit more crimes and be arrested if they’re executed per

I missed the death part. Seems like a solid option.The article says it doesn’t work because somewhere in the neighborhood of 70% are arrested again. Tell me how they’ll commit more crimes and be arrested if they’re executed per
It's not his niece. That's bogus.
But whoever it is has predicted a few things before they happened (1 year suspensions, firings) - so whoever it is has at the very least earned some credibility by being correct.
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was his niece. Account was early on Beltran’s hiring and firing. Beltran is denying it but what else would you say, besides “I don’t know this person is”, if you regret something getting out. Account is deleted now. It could be a fake account from someone with insider knowledge who wanted to leak anonymously.
Without having comprehensive info about the whole cheating scandal, that’s how I feel. People within a given community like professional baseball talk to each other and I don’t find it likely that the Astros were doing this out of the blue. They probably took it to another level though.
when something like this happens a big business like the mlb will try to offer fans and the media a big scapegoat and actually not solve the problem at all. If that happens, I’d be satisfied with a huge penalty a la Ron Artest to the players but not lifetime.
I also don’t like stripping past accomplishments. If the actual problem is not solved then over time people tend to look fondly of the players and madly at the asterisks. correct me if I’m wrong but I feel like even the Black Sox scandal is seen lightly today and Shoeless Joe Jackson is seen as a martyr
Black Sox scandal is not seen lightly today...not at all.
And Shoeless Joe is a 'martyr' because there was little evidence against him, especially considering his performance in that series.
EDIT : and letting them hang a World Series pennant is an insult to every team that won it fair and square.
