Tampa Bay Rays are planning 7k fans per game...which would set an attendance record.

When you see an Astros hat the airport, you think: “there’s a Stros fan”. See a LA or NYY hat, you think “they went to Old Navy”

Dear MLB: we know WHY you picked the Pujols home run for the "Best Moment In Minute Park". And it's not because of the home run was all that important. Remember, the Cardinals still lost the series. Need more proof on the 'anti Astros' thing?

The MLBs worst nightmare is an LCS field of Padres, Phillies, Astros and Guardians. The downside of marketing and banking on 3 teams for your financial model. The NFL only marginally cares who’s in the Super Bowl.

In 2019, Yankee fans could be heard yelling “Fuck Altuve” on the ALCS broadcast, Astros fans were harassed and one had a beer thrown on him WHILE URINATING. Remember this when the national media paints the picture that normally nice fans are just being hostile BeCaUSe ChEaTiNG.

One thing I’ll be grateful to the Astros for: 4 seasons after the WS and the team is still in a great position to win. All I want for the rest of my life is for the team to stay competitive.

Remember, when the MLB and the Players say there will be no baseball until the lockout is resolved, they are being part of the problem. There is so much baseball that's lockout proof. Now's the time to discover them.

Know what pisses me off and scares me most about 45 and his ilk? When he refers to the military as “my military” or “his soldiers”. They are. In fact. Not. They are the country’s. The distinction may seem small. It is in fact huge and scary.

What about Bregman beating the Dodgers? Don't want to go there? Want to avoid 2017? Sure. Was it Altuve beating Chapman? OK, want to avoid that whole team altogether? Dumb, but OK. SO Christ Burke's walk off in 2005 to beat the Braves in the 18th? We'll take it.

Wanna know why Astros fans don’t care if you don’t like the teams apology? Why we’ve embraced the “us vs all y’all?” Because this shit. It makes me, a reasonable guy about all of this stuff, want to give up having normal conversations. We’re living in a post fact world.
Red Sox were fined for cheating two years in a row. Have some self awareness.

So, Clevinger will go after the Stros for 'integrity of the game', but shows no concern for:
1) Integrity of a relationship
2) Integrity for the health of his teammates.

But what the big deal right? Ruined his reputation. Made him miserable. Threatened his family. Over something ridiculous.
"He wasn't wearing a wire!"
@JeffPassan
said that through all his research he had found ZERO evidence of Jose Altuve using a buzzer. He confirmed it was a ludicrous conspiracy theory.

Wait. MLB. Y’all said he really sucked. It was just the cans. You wouldn’t be rehabbing the image you helped tarnish to benefit his new fans, would you? Cause that would be shady AF.

On the surface, this doesn't matter. But the psychology is simple. We all want baseball.We get the email "greatest moment in each park's history. We click. We scroll. Hoping to get a bit of job and a moment of break from COVID and we get dick slapped. I'm seriously over it.

Who goes after the spouse of a player anyway? Watch the dugout during Yordans homer. Or him during the combined no hitter. He cares. It sucks for fans. But fans need to realize that it doesn’t come close to how the players and families feel.

2 thoughts: 1) the Astros can absolutely win the division with JV out.
2) Not sure in a 60 game season that could be canceled at any minute, that its worth it to get crazy and make a deal to replace him.

Since that time there have been times of stress
Times of sadness
Times of missing
Times with no money
Times with fear
But mostly, more happiness than I think I deserve…

Well, if YOU feel that way....You'd have to ignore that 1) leaning into pitches literally happens all the time, 2) every pitcher is checked after every inning 3) the bat was not allowed for safety reasons, not performance enhancing reasons. But go on being indignant.

My hope for the revelation of other teams isn't to exonerate the Stros. At this point, it's to release some steam from the tea pot before it explodes. As the media continues to make this Astros only, fans who don't know better get fired up & someone (not a player) could get hurt.
I just found this article by
@DannyPicard
. Picard spoke with anonymous MLB players about the state of baseball with sign stealing.
Below are many interesting parts from the article.
Biggest takeaway, baseball is broken and has been for many years.
