January 13, 20206 yr Author So when do the Dodgers get their World Series parade? Leads me to my next question, does anyone think MLB should've vacated the 2017 title since they cheated during it? I saw a lot of people on social media saying they should have.
January 13, 20206 yr Leads me to my next question, does anyone think MLB should've vacated the 2017 title since they cheated during it? I saw a lot of people on social media saying they should have. Yes and they should recompile all 2017 playoff teams' rosters and replay the entire postseason.
January 13, 20206 yr Author Yes and they should recompile all 2017 playoff teams' rosters and replay the entire postseason. Now you're being wild
January 13, 20206 yr Author I'm still waiting to hear how Jeter gets blamed for this. Don't have to worry about cheating in the playoffs when you never make it there.
January 13, 20206 yr Don't have to worry about cheating in the playoffs when you never make it there. Zoinks

January 13, 20206 yr Thinking back, I wonder how that team truly felt winning that championship. You gotta think at least a good portion of that team and it's staff had an uncomfortable, bittersweet feeling in celebrating that win. What a horrible feeling, IF you're a good person, to finally reach that highest peak and just know deep down that you cheated to do it. Ugh.

January 13, 20206 yr Good guys rarely finish first. See society. That's not a fair assumption in this case. You're making it sound like every world series winner is full of cheaters and "not good guys." There's a huge difference in winning the world series by not being a good guy and by straight up cheating. I refuse to believe that there was no remorse felt on that championship team.

I refuse to believe that there was no remorse felt on that championship team. probably was some. doesn’t mean we should just vacate the title and give it to the Dodgers. it is what it is. Astros won it. Red Sox won in 2018. Let history talk about how the Dodgers got screwed. Or focus on how the Dodgers should have won in 2018 but were stubborn morons. know what the dodgers could have done in 2017 to win a title? Acquire Justin Verlander. How’s Julio Urias working out?
January 13, 20206 yr Some Astros fans on twitter bragging that it's worth it because they still get to be 2017 champs... come on.
January 13, 20206 yr probably was some. doesn’t mean we should just vacate the title and give it to the Dodgers. I wasn't serious about giving the Dodgers the title. Just wondering about the remorse. I do believe the championship should be vacated though. You can't really say you won a championship when you were proven to have cheated for that championship.
January 13, 20206 yr Joe Espada is finally getting his chance! OMG this is such a weird way to get it but what an opportunity for him! I hope he nails it!
January 13, 20206 yr Astros are going to clean house in the front office and on field staff. O and rightfully so.
January 13, 20206 yr For better or worse I like that Crane is stepping up and acting like he's not accepting this.
January 13, 20206 yr I mean if you think the 17 Astros are the first non honest champion..... This is proven though. Multiple instances, clear evidence, plenty of witnesses, this is not just visually stealing signs or anything like that.
January 13, 20206 yr Here's the reasoning behind not vacating the title... I dunno but part of me thinks this does make some sense... if the Astros weren't cheating that still doesn't automatically mean the Dodgers would have won... (or any of the teams who lost in the other rounds either). [MEDIA=twitter]1216807140951838720[/MEDIA]
January 13, 20206 yr This guy comparing the punishment to the Braves situation a few years back... [MEDIA=twitter]1216801423163379712[/MEDIA]
January 13, 20206 yr Author Could've vacated the title without awarding it to anyone else, I think that's what the NCAA does but I'm not sure it was warranted anyway.
