As a dodger fan even i have to admit this whole situation makes this recent nationals world series win one of the most impressive things ive seen. Beating a cheating team at their home.

[meinking]

Dodger Pitcher Alex Wood Tweeted: "I'd rather face a guy on steroids than one who knows what pitches I'm going to throw."

This may be too But I can’t wait for this 30for30

I’m glad all fans of baseball can unite over two things:
1. A love for the game
2. A strong hatred for the Astros

Choose one: “Fly under the radar” or “Swept under the rug”

Stephen A: Fly under the rug

When Stephen A’s talking, Max and Molly on their computer like they next up for class presentation.

The more I think about it, the more I realize this might be the biggest scandal to ever hit MLB. This altered careers: Girardi got fired, Kershaw’s career took a dive, the Yankees went out and spent $$ on pitchers thinking theirs wasn’t good enough, guys were traded, etc. Then Alex Cora gets the job with that Sox and does the same thing. Same result. Cora should be banned for life and those players should also receive suspensions

Imagine cheating and still losing in seven with home field advantage to a wild card team in the World Series😂

[Mr_Miracle]

Cheaters don’t deserve World Series crown if they have to cheat that’s a L ( BTW I don’t watch baseball)

[yoopersen]

“The bench coach was probably aware of it” the bench coach orchestrated the whole thing😂

*Anything happens in Houston sports

ESPN: *HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM*

ESPN film present: 30 for 30 “Camera in the outfield.”

[jacksonstevens]

They cheated so bad and dodgers still almost beat them😂

[jayt]

Alex Cora's Career is over, and the Astros have gone from a very likable team to one of the most hated.

[roydodge]

This makes me so happy that the Nationals beat them in 2019

[TheMan]

I’m surprised that First Take is talking about baseball

[lolololololololol]

Astros 2017: Houston, we have landed

Astros 2020: Houston, we have a problem

[gilq]

I should be able to sue the Astros for emotional damage as a Dodgers fan.

[SLNT-jvls]

And the dodgers still took em to game 7

[Smurf]

"How many asterisks are we gonna have in baseball?"
As many as there are cases of proven cheating I'd assume
