They don't seem to understand, I guess like any tragedy you have to live through it to fully comprehend the damage.

He’ll be worse for Houston than that hurricane that hit few years back .

He has upped his game. The Astros won within the decade before he came.

I can't wait until a reporter asks Dusty about Hank Aaron's comments. Hank is a crusty old mfer but he is baseball royalty and Dusty hit behind him on the Braves.

Hinch had the power and ability to stop this shit but wussed out. He should never again be a major league manager. I think that he was afraid of the players because the players saw this cheating as a way toward bigger contracts and feared a player revolt if he stopped it.

Quote:

Mike Bolsinger, a former big-league pitcher who spent time with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays and Arizona Diamondbacks, filed a lawsuit Monday against the Houston Astros for “unfair business practices” and is asking that the Astros forfeit the nearly $31 million they earned by winning the World Series during the season they cheated.

Bolsinger himself also feels specifically wronged by the Astros, since he was sent to the minors in 2017 after getting pounded by Astros hitters at the height of their sign-stealing scheme. He never made it back to the big leagues after that.

Quote:

Bolsinger filed a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles Superior Court on Monday, accusing the Astros of unfair business practices, negligence and intentional interference with contractual and economic relations.

Yes, Bolsinger is seeking unspecified damages, but they’re not all for himself. He wants the Astros to forfeit the roughly $31 million in bonuses from their ill-gotten World Series title, and for the money to go to charities in Los Angeles focused on bettering kids’ lives, as well as to create a fund for retired baseball players who need financial assistance.

“There’s a message to be sent to youth out there. Especially athletes, more specifically baseball players,” Bolsinger told USA TODAY Sports. “It was awesome to (grow up and) watch game played the right way. We’ve kind of drifted from that. It’s something we can really express to these kids: You don’t have to cheat to get to where you want to go. This kind of stuff doesn’t need to happen.”

“I don’t think the punishment has fit the crime,” he said. “And let’s be honest, all these guys are going to get jobs again. … Guys like us that were cheated? I don’t have a job. I’m not playing.”

Smart move. The Astros will pay him off to avoid the discovery process.

Exactly. Although I would love to sit on the depositions of Altuve, Bergman, etc.

Get a better pitcher to file suit. Otherwise, it's frivolous.

The pitcher has to be out of MLB or the MLBPA will squash it.

Too much pearl clutching. What did you really expect the team and players to do? Feign remorse? That also would have been treating you like a fool because you would have known it was bullshit. They won a fucking World Series.

I may be one of the few fans not bothered by this because I just assume every team is doing something. Just not as brazen and reckless as the Astros.

Mark Grace on W & S just said his career .303 ba would have been .450 if he knew what pitches were coming like the Astros.

Congrats 2020 Astros in your HBP record. Hopefully it’s the “playing the right way” hit in the thigh and not the frowned upon hit in the head.

If he drank a little less it would have been higher too.

Trevor Bauer destroyed the Astros in a recent rant published on the Athletic. Great stuff.
