Ok guys what are your thoughts on the Houston Astros scandal?
Ten years ago I had to relocate from Casper to Houston to keep my job. Although a Rockies fan at the time I eventually became an Astros fan as well. Their 2017 season was a lot of fun to watch as they took the World Series.
Then it became known that they cheated by stealing signs.
1. I didn’t realize that was against the rules. Playing baseball in my youth I thought that was part of the game.
2. It didn’t really help the Astros. They actually had a better away record than they had at home. So it was stupid.
3. The final game of the World Series was away.
So it pisses me off that they cheated especially since it didn’t really help them.
Would it be cheating in college football if you could decode all those signs being held up for the offense from the sidelines?
I am really torn. I like a lot of the Astros as people not just as athletes but this taints them.
