[QUOTE="bdutts, post: 1670698, member: 29"] The Astros have made it to the WS 2 of the past 4 years. I won't even count 2017 but if we do, it's 3 of the last 5. Dodgers also in two of the last four. Both teams with impressive runs. The Giants run in the 2010, 2012, 2014 was more impressive since they won all three of those. Unless the Astros are caught cheating again, if they end up winning, they would vindicate themselves in my opinion. They were stupid to cheat in 2017 because they already had the best team in the league. What they did in 2017 shouldn't reflect on what they did in 2021. Unless of course, they end up getting caught cheating again. You can't say the Astros weren't punished. You can say they weren't punished enough. Take that up with the Commissioner. He wasn't going to get any players to agree to talk if they weren't given immunity. After all was said and done, he could have stripped them of the title (that's what I would have done) but didn't for the Astros (or the Red Sox) for whatever reason. Regarding sign stealing: Are you against a runner on second base helping the batter with the pitch or location? Are you against a team looking for tells on a pitcher, acting on a pitcher if he's tipping his pitches? Because I would bet that 100% of the hitters would love to know what's coming. Full disclosure: I live in Houston but check my avatar to see what I think about the Astros... [/QUOTE]
