    Just realized that that a-hole Josh Reddick got mysteriously better with the Astros than when he was with the Dodgers.

    He’s getting beamed....and hard.

    Twitter is all over the theory that Astros players used buzzers underneath their jerseys to cheat. Carlos Beltran's niece made a tweet about it and there's a video surfacing of Altuve screaming at players not to rip his jersey off after a HR.

    There's a chance this new theory is all BS and nothing will ever change the heartbreak I felt in 2017, but it is enjoyable to see these mother fuckers under constant fire. I hope the Astros fucking burn.

    I hope these new accusations are true because I’m sick of all the Altuve love for that midget. Hope this taints the rest of his career and kills any shot at a HoF.

    Would be very interested in the Astros home record and stats this year.

    Picture already surfaced of Reddick wearing something taped to his chest. In post game interview after beating Yankees. Trevor Bauer and another reporter are claiming that the Astros doing this has been disclosed to them by at least 5 different sources.

    Haha, I appreciate the compliment. I guess that is all because I actually paid attention while I was majoring in journalism at one time. Only got out of it when I heard too many horror stories about the business and decided I wanted to explore a different route.

    Weird, if you look close, it actually wraps around the back of his neck, so it may be more for monitoring vitals or some shit. The problem for him is, at this point you no longer get the benefit of the doubt.

    There is just no way the Astros and then the Red Sox were the only teams that did this. I have a really bad feeling that we are going to be hearing about us soon. Jim Duquette is saying that he has been told that 8 other teams besides the Sox and Astros have had their names turned into MLB by former players. This is gonna be a huge black eye for the game.

    He'd go down as the worst hitters ever if he knew what pitch was coming and still hit the way he did lol

    Yeah, that tape is holding down the wire, and right above is the zapping device. It looks a lot like a wire for undercover work, but would be much simpler since it’s one way communication and no recording necessary.

    The wire probably leads to a battery pack and receiver.

    This ain’t no health monitoring device. In the wrong place.

    Just some fun with numbers for our guys in the splits department. This doesn't tell us anything, but it gives me hope that maybe we were not doing it.... Joc had extreme splits every year and I tie that into also how he is used.
    Player Home OPS/Away OPS
    Bellinger .897/.956 for Career
    Turner .966/.928 2017, .947/.901 2018, .815/.943 2019
    Seager .889/.818 2017, .826/.810 2019
    Muncy 1.002/.946 2018, .838/.938 2019

    We’ve already been accused, but the Stros got nabbed because Fiers ratted on his former team, which led to Cora being named and the cheating spreading to a Sox investigation.

    MLB would have to investigate all MLB teams unless there is more concrete evidence to just target a few teams just because they were named by a player or FO person not associated with the team.

    Altuve randomly deleting his Twitter a couple days ago doesn't help matters.....

    • Mike Clevinger saying that if MLB isn't gonna punish the cheaters, the players will. Damn...
    • An account claiming to be from the son of Scott Brosius is saying that it was known league-wide what they were doing in 2017 and MLB chose not to do anything about it. Also says that Mike Trout is on HGH due to a "thyroid issue".
    • Gary Sheffield Jr says that the Beltran's cousin twitter account is actually a player.
    I never thought I was that into soap opera's, but this shit sure has my attention.

    This may eventually be MLBs goal. Self enforcement.

    I think they will investigate every lead that they get. So far the Dodgers ones seem to be toothless and the teams players have been pretty neutral in their splits, so that gives me hope. The problem is the players on the Astros that were members of other teams once, spilling the guts about those teams to protect their own asses.

    Ok, there is a much clearer picture of this now and it appears that he has LARGE silver chain on and that is actually a piece of confetti stuck to him.
