Major League Baseball's investigation into the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal remains underway but no other teams are currently under suspicion, commissioner Rob Manfred told reporters Wednesday.
"I have no reason to believe it extends beyond the Astros at this point in time," Manfred said at the owners meetings in Arlington, Texas, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.
Manfred is a coward.

The whole thing is stupid. If you can't beat the Astros it must be because they are cheating.
Fiers is an ass. He does realize that if the Astros were illegally stealing signs, he benefited from it by getting wins?

You worded that well, thank you. I've been trying to figure out why so many are "up in arms" over this. As long as things continue to get better - I think they did under Reid - then woohoo for us! As long as they leave Luhnow alone I'll be happy.

« on: November 01, 2019, 09:48:27 am »My seats were too high up to judge HPU’s work, but he looked consistent. Only y’all watching TV can say. The replay of the 2-1 pitch to Soto shows HPU missed it, and Greinke’s reaction showed he thought so too. I am beyond bummed about Greinke’s effort being wasted, and the media’s fixation on “it should have been Cole” in the 7th angers me. Hinch made the absolute correct choice if Greinke was coming out. After Eaton grounded out in the 7th, I allowed myself to think “If he gets the next two guys, he may pitch a complete game shutout.” I did not say it to anyone, but maybe my thought alone jinxed him. Ugh.
I keep thinking (against my rational mind) this result was pre-ordained. Certainly was at least bad luck at the worst time.

Personally, IMO, no. That is my answer to this date. They decided to give him a second chance. If he screws up his second chance, then let him go. I say, trying to make him a better man is better for society, than not. But, giving chances are always limited.

« on: August 14, 2019, 07:44:50 am »While complacency is and would be a terrible thing, here's the latest state polling on Trump's job approval; the state-by-state numbers being important because that's how the game is played.
Trump is underwater in:
- Michigan (by 11)
- Pennsylvania (by 12)
- Wisconsin (by 10)
- North Carolina (by 9)
- Virginia (by 17)
- Utah (by 3)
- Texas (by 1)
- New Hampshire (by 26) (not a typo)
- Iowa (by 4)
- Arizona (by 9)
- Colorado (by 18)
- Florida (by 3)
- Georgia (by 5)
- Minnesota (by 15)
- Nevada (by 23)
- New Mexico (by 9)
- Ohio (by 2)
Also with:
- Independents (by 10)
- Women (by 25)
- Every age group except over 65s
- Every ethnic group except whites
While the Democrats' path to 270 is narrow, Trump's is narrower than his baby fingers wrapped around his micropenis. In 2016 he threaded the needle by < 80,000 votes across MI, PA & WI and, right now, his job performance is disapproved of by double-digits in each of those uber-critical states. He's also underwater in Ohio, Florida, Arizona, Texas, Georgia and U-fucking-tah. Job disapproval doesn't necessarily translate into votes - hence the eleventying-down on the racism - but he can't afford to lose a single state he won last time and right now he's in danger of losing a lot of them.
It's the economy, stupid. And while the Dow is good, that isn't trickling down to the miners and car workers and many, many others for whom he promised to make things great again. He's also chopped off farmers at the knees and is trying desperately not to fuck up holiday shopping.
"His" people are the ones taking it in the ass the most; they should be the ones to run him out of the White House on a rail - a heavily reinforced, steel rail - directly into the waiting cuffs of a NY state trooper.
There isn't a policy implemented that does not try to harm someone weaker than themselves. I have no faith in the American people that vote to do the right thing to save this country. I am just going to do what I can to try and make it better.

So yes, others being injured means he gets to play and that means he's producing well below Mendoza. I would rather see Straw play more than Jake for that matter. Straw is the bench player, Marisnick the starter. Should be the other way around.
Some of us get it, you don't like Marisnick. I don't feel as confident as you do that Straw would be a bigger upgrade. But, that's what's great about this place, we can disagree.

Options may determine the initial decision, but roster construction fascinated me, and I am wondering what it ultimately may be. Marisnick’s new-found offensive progress complicates things for sure. Straw has too much value to be traded, I think, and I have liked Kemp all along. I really hope Alvarez hits when he comes up so DH will be solved. Then there is Tucker who is hitting again. The team needs a frontline pitcher, and someone has to go in that trade.
Agreed! I definitely think we are going to miss someone due to a trade. Right now we are forming a lot of attachments, but these players are auditioning on a big stage right now. In Luhnow I trust.

Cubs fans are just irritating. They irritate me way more than braces fans ever did. At least the braves won.
But there were an equal number of them at the game today. The third through seventh innings weren't bad. But Astros fans did a pretty good job of drowning out some of the chants.

I'm disappointed to report that there are very classless Astros fans.
While we all understand that we would like White to do better I don't think any of us would say horrid things to him at the game.
Apparently, there was one fan that was saying all kind of things about White. The couple were talking trash to his family. Then the drunks got worse and starting trash talking the family.
It was apparently really bad that security got involved.

And regarding Springer's replacement, MM is correct: keeping Tucker down until June 1 gives the Astros this year and then 6 full years before he's a FA.

It is never one thing when it comes to the Astros and their pitchers, never one number that screams, “gotcha!” The team’s process is both more subtle and more expansive, “not a secret sauce,” Hinch says, “as much as a combination.”
