Selling Live Astros

daves · 03-27-2020, 03:13 PM

I just can't have any 2020Live Astros on my team after learning about the cheating. They should all be iron level players.

That's suspect. Astros seem blatant and were caught.

But I see what you are saying. We don't know all that is going on unless a whistleblower sounds the alert.

Pre Corona alert, does seem ages ago.

Pete Rose didn't cheat... he bet on his team to win and he lied when asked.

Pete not in Hall of Fame is a joke IMHO.

Agreed, although the rules were crystal clear. He knew damn well not to do it and he did it anyway.

I sympathize. I just pulled Osuna in a pack and can't bear to add him to my lineup. To be fair, its hard to hate on the Houston pitchers, except, er... in Osuna's case.

<Pion> · 03-27-2020, 10:07 PM

Osuna is one that I quick sell as soon as I get him.

Did he bet the same amount for every game?

Forget Pete Rose MLB has made it clear they don't want him in the Hall.

Open the doors for Minnie Minoso to be put the Hall of Fame. That is a travesty that needs corrected. On and off the field he was great including being the first Latin player to play MLB.

That is ridiculously wrong. There were wagonloads of Latin players before him, especially from Cuba...

Sorry, he doesn't even have a PEAK card. And that Diamond 91 card only gets him into the Hall of Very Good. ;-)

There is nothing suspect about Bonds growing 3 hat sizes

People's heads simply don't swell up like grapefruits for no reason.

When I was in NY we would see OJ Simpson walking around and I think it was during the time he was doing the pregame shows with Bob Costas.

OJ had this HUGE head. It was so huge... we called it the 'OJ Head'. Almost 30 years later, when me or my friends see someone with a large head we STILL call it an 'OJ Head'

His head was so large that with a helmet on he would have looked like a bobblehead doll.

Sorry, back to your regular broadcasting.

Yeah, I know. I'm one of the few that consider Barry Bonds the HR champ. What they did was wrong but without the steroid days I don't know where baseball would be at this time. That time period basically saved baseball IMO. When it comes to baseball gaming.....I don't worry about real life players. This is gaming man...don't bother me at all but ASTROS definately are cheaters, but that Yordan Alvarez can sure mash in OOTP 21 & that's all I care about him now. PLAY BALL
