I'm pretty upset Fangraphs doesn't have full home/away splits because I'd love to see their swinging strike and in/out zone splits for 2017-2019.

So, how does Manfred granting immunity for players over the trash can thing affect his ability to punish for this. These fuckers out to be out of the league for a long time.

Depends on if it was blanket immunity, right? Just because he didn't write about it didn't mean he was unaware.

If the MLB did a "full investigation" and this didn't turn up, then MLB looks just as bad or worse off for it.

(If it's true of course...the original has indeed been deleted)

What is worse, if MLB didn’t look at this video before publishing its report, or if it did?

I’m not saying it’s convincing evidence of anything. But it would certainly merit a mention in the final report, no? This is one of the iconic plays in recent MLB history.

I think if Manfred decisively says “we know, this was all part of the initial punishment”, you have to accept it? Garbage can, buzzer, who gives a shit? It’s all to the same effect.

You taking about the HGH for a “thyroid condition” rumors? I found that one interesting because the exploitation of “therapeutic use exemptions” (TUEs) to use otherwise-banned PEDs is a pretty huge issue in sports like tennis and cycling. After Russia got in trouble for all the Sochi Olympics doping, a group of Russian hackers released hacked documents in the lead of to the Rio games showing that a bunch of prominent American and European sports stars had been granted TUEs.

It is absolutely hilarious and a clear sign that this website rebuttal wasn't well thought out. Again, I'm not a blind zealot defender here.
Its so stupid that it has to be true... And every discussion leads with how stupid it is and how everyone will zero in on it.

No, I acknowledge what they were punished for is wrong. And if credible information comes to light about other things they did, I'd acknowledge that as well. I was also extremely and vocally pissed about other stuff that went down with this franchise as well close to the World Series. I'm going to continue to call out dumbfuck questions like "what is that wire thing on his neck?" or "why didn't he want his jersey ripped off on national TV when he knew he was about to get interviewed and fuck me this was literally discussed on the field after he hit a ball a long way off OUR wife-beater?"

Lance McCullers was next to me in a car yesterday at a red light. I tried to get his attention and had he rolled down his window I was going to yell "Fuck Mike Fiers, amirite?!" But asshole was texting probably with someone about how to better cheat next season.

The Mets ruined Bill Buckner. Had they not cheated, the Astros would've swept the Red Sox.

I'd very much like a reporter to go deep on the Baker hire and ask how a guy who wanted to get back into managing was repeatedly passed over until a team was in full-blow crisis mode.

I know, this is just like Mayor Pete telling Wolf Blitzer last nigth that this is all a ruse hatched by him, the developer of the app and the DNC to cause a complete non-embarrassing cover-up of the real results of the Iowa caucus that every person caucusing last night had to be in on because there's no way they'd not remember who they caucused for.
