This owner is delusional. Was a no win siutation press conference. Altuve homer of Chapman changed baseball history.

I think every batter should know what pitch is coming. Two strikes your out. Make the game more interesting

I wouldn’t even want to win like that with the probability that they get caught.


Regular season game against the White Sox. There’s a clip going around where the pitcher calls for the catcher to come out to the mound. Pitcher tells him that they are stealing signs. Basically he can hear the banging that is signaling to the players. He keeps asking the catcher, “did you hear that? They have the fucking signs.”

manages to strike out the batter and the inning ends. The pitcher gets hella hyped. Just seems like cheating is almost apart of baseball. In another sport, that player probably stops the game to inform the ref.

It was bad regardless.

Highlight was he said "their actions didnt effect the outcome of games" (yeah right) then 55 seconds later says "their actions effect the outcome of games"

Chapman threw a hanging slider right over the plate and Altuve put it over the wall. It was a bad pitch. Let's not get carried away here.

change history quote was probably to dramatic for you, but you seem to be a yankees fan, that was more than just hanging slider, if altuve has buzzer, knows its coming your approach is way different at the plate. yes count was 2-1, but it smelled fishy and chapman's face is priceless after that dong.

[FONT=&quot]"I don't know what human hits a walk-off home run against Aroldis Chapman to send your team to the World Series and, (No. 1), has the thought to say, 'Don't rip my jersey off.' But (No. 2), go into the tunnel, change your shirt, and then come out," Bellinger said,[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"I thought (MLB commissioner Rob) Manfred's punishment was weak, giving (the players) immunity. I mean, these guys were cheating for three years. I think what people don't realize is Altuve stole an MVP from [/FONT](Aaron) Judge[FONT=&quot] in '17. Everyone knows they stole the ring from us," Bellinger added, according to [/FONT]Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times[FONT=&quot].[/FONT]

That pitch that Altuve hit was an 84 MPH slider up in the strike zone. He knew it was coming because he couldn't throw his fast ball for a strike.

I believe Altuve never wore a buzzer. I also believe he knew �� that slider was coming. He won't deny that. Simple.

According to Manfred, the Astros set up a video camera in centerfield in Minute Maid Park during the 2017 season, which broadcast the opposing team’s signs to a TV in the clubhouse. Team personnel would then relay what pitch was coming to batters. The Astros have also been accused of cheating through the 2019 season, but the players have denied those allegations.

If you win a World Series from cheating and don’t get caught....do people really believe that they’re just going to stop cheating? They just came up with new ways. I think some of them did wear a buzzer. Absolutely. 2019 Altuve said after that HR that he was ready for Chapman’s fastball and ready for anything else??????!!! He said that in his post game interview. Lmfao.

How is that even possible? Chapman throws 100. How can you be ready for offspeed too? To beat Chapman he has to make a mistake or you have to guess or you have to know what’s coming. From what Altuve said...it sounded like he knew what was coming

Every team that plays them, should hit 2 batters every game. This is going to get ugly fast.
