Mets/Yankees Thread

[13th Floor]

Ah, I missed watching the football Mets. How comical.

 

[PWJunior]

Astros are the Pats of Baseball. Haha, such cheaters.

 

[crasherino]

And wasn’t Beltran at the heart of this scandal?

can’t the Mets do anything without stepping on their own dick?

 

[BrockLobster]

People loved when the NYY cheated their way to 5 rings. I love the overreactions now.

How dare you steal signs! Steroids and performance enhancers? No big deal.

I mean, the big difference is individuals cheating vs an entire organization

A-Rod used Steroids, Pettitte did to rehab an injury (or so he says), Clemens... id bet that wasn’t an organizational mandate though

Could've fooled me with the amount of guys on them at the time.

It’s all wrong but any pitcher will tell that they would rather face a guy doing steroids then a guy who knows what they are throwing. That’s an incredible advantage. The lengths that the Astros reportedly went to to cheat is ridiculous.

Their cocky attitude about it too alone makes me hope they get the book thrown at them. MLB is soft but I hope they make an example out of them and come down hard.

I honestly don't know the story about what the Astros did or didn't do. I'll have to look it up. I know sign stealing has always been an issue, from guys with binoculars to using technology as an advantage. I don't know why they don't just routinely change up signs or something.

sign stealing has always been part of the game but it’s mostly gamesmanship. Once you introduce technology into with hi tech Tv monitors and hand buzzers that’s ludicrous.

The thought is that the guy at the table in front of the monitor would relay the notification to the dugout behind the hanging Gatorade towels. This frame is apparently from their 2017 World Series dvd

This image looks fake.

That is supposedly what the Nats pretty much did. Somehow they were tipped off to what was going on. There was a guy on Twitter last week who had several images of Astros batters in game 1 I believe making facial expressions following pitches where they seemed baffled that whatever came wasn’t what they were informed was coming.

Reports across multiple outlets have the Wilpons looking to sell the Mets. I didn't think that nightmare would ever end.

Malkin save us

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

When Cohen takes over in 5 years, the Mets will have the richest owner in baseball. LFGM

Now you get to deal with 5 years of the checked out Wilpons

 

[WangMustGo]

No thanks, keep all his money with the isles. The mets can find another owner similar to Malkin though!

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

I don't believe that Cohen will just let the team wallow away before gaining control. Those 3 letters in front of Fred and Jeff's names don't mean squat.

 

[beach]

Errr, what does that mean for their financial commitment to Belmont?

I've dealt with checked out Wilpons since they brought in Beltran and Martinez.

Errr, what does that mean for their financial commitment to Belmont?

They couldn't afford the payment so they sold the team to cover the cost.

Rags to riches

Yeah the Mets will now spend if Cohen wants to. The Wilpons won't get in his way if that's the case.

 

[Strummergas]

f***ING FINALLY!!!!

 

[Beacon Isles]

I would have to think if Steve Cohen is owning 80% of the team, he'll be calling the shots as soon as next season, regardless of the titles that the Wilpons hold. Money talks.
