    The video evidence and investigation specifically cited Altuve not using the trash can system. The evidence shows him and Josh Reddick opted out of it compared to other guys.Β 

    He reportedly got mad when he did receive a bang and went to tell the he guy doing it to fuck off. That's it, 24 pitches out of nearly a thousand that year, and he still gets shit about it. He's also continued to put up great numbers before and after the scandal broke, which would lend more evidence to the fact he didn't need it.Β 

    Here's a fun interview with Astros Catcher Brian McCann insinuating that the Dodgers were stealing their signs with nobody on base during the 17 World Series:Β

    Mookie Betts and the Red Sox on the other hand, apparently got an MVP and World Series using a sign stealing system after Alex Cora went there. Mookie also quoted as saying something like "everyone was doing it, but we didn't use it during the world series!" They knocked off the Dodgers, Astros and Yankees along the way, yet they don't get any shit for it. Mookie had an MVP year and has never come close to being as good as he was in 2018. Plenty of teams were doing this shit, and while that's not a great excuse, it's the reality of the situation.Β 

    Oh and the best part of all this shit is the video guy who 11 Red Sox players named as the one decoding signs and relaying them to the dugout, was hired by the fucking Dodgers after his suspension. The Dodgers, who bitch and moan about this more than anyone else, and try to pretend like they would NEVER do THAT, went out and got the guy that was decoding and relaying signs for the Red Sox. Lol...

    Just because you write a novel doesn't make it true. This does not contradict actual evidence. Stop gaslighting. The little fucker cheated like the rest of them and got a bye because nobody wanted to go after the players.Β

  2. Frontline did a great treatment of this including the evidence, interviews of MLB officials who in the interest of completeness in the investigation opted to offer immunity to the players to get the story. Nobody's arguing he didn't cheat, they have video.Β
