The banning of Dugout trash cans should have been enforced years ago as players never use the can, spitting and trashing the entire dugout. The Dugout fat dude sitting behind his laptop kicking trashcans while spitting his chew on the ground is absolutely legendary, you have to give it to them. Word is, that famous WM trashcan will be up for sale: bidding to start at 10,000$

Astros still have a few good players. They will be in the hunt.

Red Sox just let go of Cora for being implicated in the report. ESPN reported it as a mutual parting of ways, which is weird. They should’ve fired him. The longer the league takes to punish him, the more I feel like he gets a lifetime ban.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

Not a good look for the Astros. I heard the Astros were calling their corporate sponsors apologizing, and offering to answer any questions they might have. What a pity.

Give the coach, catcher and pitcher ear pieces and the coach can call the pitches from the dugout. Problem solved, no more signs.

They will just call the Patriots to get their technology on how to mess with the visitors radios.

Now reports that Altuve and Bregman, maybe others, wore electronic buzzers under their jersey to alert them to what pitch was coming. If this turns out to be true, I think any player who did this should be banned for life and the Astros World Series title should be removed. This is just ridiculous.

Just wait for the trickle down affect to other teams, i.e. Red Sox and Yankees.

Anyone else remember when Altuve hit the homer and wouldn't let his team mates rip his jersey off? Kind of makes you wonder what was under that jersey doesn't it?

Knowing the Astros cheated their way to a WS and the fact their title no longer means anything is almost better than a Rangers WS Title.

A bunch of y’all know me, I love baseball and am a big Rangers fan.
I just don’t see a problem, those signals are there for the world to see and the team figured another way to communicate.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

So those cute videos people have made mean nothing.
