ITS EVERYBODYS FAULT!!&!&!@!!! Beat these chumps.

Not to go off topic but I think the suggestion that Stevens was in any way helped by Ainge’s roster construction those first few years is false and does a disservice to how good a job he did with those rosters. Stevens inherited a tire fire of a roster when he took this job with Jeff Green as...

We’ve discussed this before. The fact that lots of players have shit on Fiers doesn’t seem to be about shitting on whistleblowers. It’s about shitting on Fiers. I haven’t read a single positive thing another player has said about Fiers.

Win it for Carl, Mookie!

Is Lebron a PED user or sympathizer? Did I miss something?

Thanks for sharing that, @soxhop411. So basically, this is another situation where MLB and MLBA failed to stop a massive cheating scandal before it spiraled out of control. Again, with no Article 46 (or provisions about "notice"), Manfred couldn't really do much more than he did here. And it's...

This is pretty much where I am. I get that everyone is frustrated with how this is dragging on and on but MLB had to thread a needle here. Manfred doesn’t have an Article 46/“Protect the Integrity of the Game” clause he can draw on here to impose punishment that allows him to go outside the...

First off, if people are going to link Athletic articles behind a paywall as their post, can they please include some quotes? I literally have no idea what more has come out about Beltran. I said in the other thread that Manfred hasn’t handled this like Goodell or Selig, who would have spent...

Why? He said the press conference the Astros had was terrible, explained why he wasn’t able to corroborate anything about the buzzers (contrasting how the players came forward aggressively on the other stuff but not in a single instance on buzzers) and generally said that he thought this was a...

Sure – I just think that Brad figured out how to get something positive from him in his rotations. Could he do it with a fungible big? Of course. Before the team started completing getting more out of guys than anyone else (Evan Turner?) had become kind of Brad’s calling card. I guess the...

Am I the only one here actually excited for TL to come back? Not looking at the numbers and the pessimism is understandable given that he’s been out a very long time. But he seemed to have made some significant leaps before he hurt the hip. He was less out of position defensively, which meant...

Yes, but what about the shame of cheating? That’s gotta count for a one or two hundred RPM regression alone. Seriously tho, those Scott Miller pieces on BR are great – well researched and full of on the record comments from players and managers. That they are 18 months old suggests to me that...

I admittedly don’t know the story of the Wilpons that well but I feel comfortable saying that this isn’t true.

My guess is that they won’t try to square it. The official story is that Cora devised the system w Beltran in Houston. That’s not changing absent clear evidence to the contrary. Assuming it turns out people were peeking at video replay in Boston under his watch, the report will most likely...
