A few thoughts and points as to why I believe the Astros weren’t the only ones with a sign stealing mechanism.

I tried to post this 2 weeks ago and it never got posted to the sub. Let me know your thoughts. Obviously now that the Yankees letter came out the judge comment sounds even more likely.

With Souza and Sale’s recent comments I think fans around the league are actually somewhat waking up to the crock of s**t the Astros got hit with.

Here’s some interesting tidbits.

  • Mookie betts hit .346 in 2018. (his highest mark by a mile)

  • Kory Bellinger fucking sucks now after stringing together not one but two mvp-caliber seasons.

  • Christian Yelich sucks. After one of the best offensive seasons in brewers history in 2019.

  • The Rockies reportedly used a theragun to steal signs in 2018. Charlie Blackmon hasn’t been the same hitter since.

  • You’re telling me Judge hit 53 home runs in 2017 without some sort of sign stealing then comes nowhere close to duplicating that number since? He was his absolute best as a rookie? Are we seriously supposed to buy that?

  • Are we supposed to believe that Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt all had career years at the same time and helped crank out 107 wins? Yes I understand their pitching was bonkers but still, come on.

I’m sure I’m forgetting something but there’s too much evidence to suggest the Astros cheated “the worst” or some absolute nonsense.

I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things. Please comment them if you realize something I missed.

As always, f**k pedo Fiers.
