Being labeled a cheater by a bunch of dumb fans who can't think outside the feedback loop is just a temporary bump in the road on the path to the Hall of Fame.You see, the thing about being labeled a cheater is nobody knows when you started cheating and when you stopped cheating. We know you cheated in 2017 because mike Fiers told us. But what you’re describing, that’s actually what makes it funny or sad depending on how you want to look at it. Throughout history, baseball players have been caught cheating when they probably didnt need to, and it tarnished their legacy. It is kinda odd that altuve and Bregman are getting more heat than a guy like Springer, for example.
See, we actually DO know when it began and that's in the commissioner's report. We also know that Carlos Beltran came back to the Astros in 2017 after stints in NYY and Texas and told his new Astros teammates that they were behind the times wrt stealing signs. Anyone who legitimately aspires to be a logical, critical baseball fan informs his/her opinion on the available evidence and we have years of evidence reaching all the way back into the low minors of Jose Altuve being a very talented contact hitter. In order to believe that Jose Altuve's career accomplishments are a function of fucking sign stealing and not individual talent, preparation, and growth as a player, you have to willfully ignore all the available evidence in the service of idiotic prisoner of the moment groupthink.

So the two previously untouchable Luhnow prospects have both turned out to be untouchable for the wrong reasons.

I was listening to Mad Dog radio on Friday night and had the misfortune of hearing the idiot jackasses full-on cock gargling of Joe Kelly and then slandering Altuve thereafter by saying dumb shit like you'd see on r/baseball.
If Altuve struggles at the plate, it's proof that he was "cheating" before. "It's not so easy eh Jose?!!"
If (when) he gets hot again, they'll just flip the script and say it's just more proof that he's cheating. You can't have it both ways.
Disregard his entire career of being a hitting machine or his home/road splits 2017 or the reports from teammates that he didn't participate or the study that fan did with every Astros home at bat... None of it matters and they can't be told otherwise.
It's just So. Fucking. Dumb.

Reason and logic will never get in the way of r/baseball's feedback loop of Astros hatin groupthink.Seems pretty clear that's in reference to Altuve's slump & how it's affecting him & the team ....

Goddamn it, two nights in a row. Last night was a five run lead, tonight it was three.Giants just blew a 3 run lead in the 9th. Walked the tying run and then gave up a 3 run homer to Canha. The A's are starting to piss me off.

Javier throws quality pitch after quality pitch. HPU squeezed him at least five or six times earlier and he never gave in and threw a ball over the heart of the plate. He's challenging hitters AND the ump.

Wtf Biagini has been useless and thinks he's a comedian when he's just a fucking idiot. I'd be cool with Bailey taking his spot on the roster.

I think the Can't Score Crap in Extra Innings stat is the one y'all are looking for.
Correct. 1-4 in extra innings is muy mal.

4.6 RA. 17th, right in the middle of the MLB pack.
Our pythag W-L has the Astros record at 11-8.

Full disclosure for my post:
I bet a hundred on a prop wager between Bregman and Tucker for total bases. When I saw Tucker was due up in the 9th, I knew my betting fate was sealed.
