Bang the trash can slowly

[kairos12]

Astros’ manager and GM now fired.

[Kurt V.]

1. and play the fife lowly. whoa nelly!

[MontanaMama]

2. Good.

Suspension wasn't enough. The $5 million dollar fine isn't either. Cheaters.

4. Loss of draft picks will hurt.

[MontanaMama]

7. It should hurt.

I have to wonder if anyone else in the organization knew what these guys were doing. The way players and coaches are trained to watch signs...did anyone else catch on to this? I hope it was limited to to the GM and manager.

9. They were stealing signs by banging on the garbage can. I gotta figure

many people knew. Including, the fans in the first row behind the dugout.

There is a reason they were 8-1 in the playoffs at home that year.

[MontanaMama]

12. Oh I know it.

To be complicit in it is disgusting. My kiddo plays travel baseball at a fairly high level. He was talking about this before it hit the news... he had dozens of clips saved to his phone and he would show me and say “did you see that? Did you hear that?” Baseball players are steeped in signs and signals...like you said, fans are too if they’re paying attention. I hope this doesn’t end with these two firings.

13. It's great your son is playing baseball.

I’m sure he doesn’t need to be reminded: baseball is either hard, or really hard.

Ask Micheal Jordan.

[MontanaMama]

14. That's so funny you said that!

My kiddo, Owen, just came home from pitching lessons...I asked him how his night was and he said it was hard. I asked if was really hard and he said it was just hard.

[kairos12]

15. Great attitude!

Tell him to keep his pitches on the black!

[CaptYossarian]

5. Not for cheating. It was for getting caught.

Your move, Patriots.

[MontanaMama]

6. Lol. Right??

I'll believe it when I see it.

[Ohiogal]

3. Wow!

This is huge!

[The Polack MSgt]

8. Well done Kairos12.

This thread title is a masterpiece.

[kairos12]

10. Thanks Polack MSgt. I just couldn't resist it.

[RicROC]

11. Republicans?

Another example of corporate cheating. What's the chance they both are Republicans? even Trumpers?

[BeyondGeography]

16. Field of Schemes

[kairos12]

17. Outstanding!!
