Yup, I wouldn’t dig in at the plate too much if I were an Astro. Plunk!

I am excited about the giants. Hunter pence is back, panda is back and we will see how Gabe Kapler is going to take them

I'd be interested in this thread if the Royals weren't already mathematically eliminated.

I just read where someone during Altuve's at bat in spring training, was banging on a trash can.

Made me think, every team that plays Houston, needs to have a free mini trashcan give away at one of the games.

The players openly bashing the commissioner is a sign that this whole fiasco is far from over. There is no trust or respect for Manfred from the players. Especially when he calls the world series trophy a "piece of metal."

"I don't know if the commissioner has won anything in his life."

"At this point the only thing devaluing that trophy is that it says 'commissioner' on it."

Justin Turner hit the nail on the head!!

He didn't hold anything back there. The Commish needs to go.

Yep, I have a feeling baseball will be looking for a new commissioner soon.

I'm waiting for the first 2017 Astro player to give his world series ring back. I doubt it would be an existing player. Can't show up the rest of the team.

The precedents have been set.

Cheat at baseball to lose the World Series and you are banned for life.

Cheat at baseball to win the World Series and you get to keep that piece of metal and all the extra money and endorsements that went with it.

The over/under on Astro’s hitters HBP is 83.5, I think I like the over, I’m pretty sure Anthony Rizzo gets hit that many times every year

Manfred needs to shut his fucking yapper. How did he become the COMMISSIONER OF MLB? He makes Gary Bettman look competent.

And now it comes out that Manfred gave the Astro's players immunity in return for their testimony.

I wondered why no players were punished. I'd say it was a chicken shit way out for Manfred.

Can't believe the Cubs only got one title with that lineup. What a waste. Almost as bad as the '85 Bears only getting one SB.

If the Sox get eliminated from post season play, and the Twins are still alive, I will cheer for them to make it to the World Series. Not because I want them to win, but because I want to see late October/early November baseball, in Minnesota, in an open air stadium.

Oof.

Oof.

They seriously need to truncate the season to 120 games to be played between May and August and start the Playoffs in September (will never happen). Baseball is not a cold weather sport. Period.
