As I have been saying, it looks like the cheating hurt the Astros, not helped them in 2017. Again, I don't condone the cheating.

From the LA Times

But things aren’t that simple. This won’t be a popular conclusion in Dodgertown, but new analyses of the Astros’ 2017 season by baseball’s corps of unofficial statisticians — “sabermetricians,” to the sport — indicate that the Astros didn’t gain anything from their cheating; in fact, it may have hurt them.

The most comprehensive analysis, and the most explicit finding, comes from Robert Arthur, who posts at the statistical website Baseball Prospectus.
Here is the link to the Robert Arthur article

So...if it's gonna be OK for players to bean the Astros, will it be OK for my to toss a beer can at visiting fans when they do something I don't like?

Cause...visiting fans are ALWAYS doing something I don't like...

Who says it is okay to bean the Astros?

33 runs in 4 post season games...NO trash cans to be heard...and they did it at Dodger's stadium. How fitting.

So if they can win without cheating, why were they cheating?

Exactly. And I take issue w the article stating that the cheating hurt them, they absolutely destroyed our pitching staff in a couple of key games in the 2017 WS by seeming to always know which pitch was coming. :mad:

Get over it Denis, they weren't using that cheat during the WS. They whooped your guys fair and square.
If you want to complain that they shouldn't have even been there in the first place, go ahead, but don't think that they didn't simply buckle down and outplay the Dodgers when the time came.

I am ecstatic about the turn of events. 2020 being what it is, I fully expect my Stro's to inflict serious pain on the baseball world because it wouldn't be 2020 without it.

Go Stro's
