Astros should self-isolate from the MLB 🤣
Hahaha ffs
yes
Houston Asterisks
They don’t deserve a championship period.
@Jesse Garcia GO MAKE ME A BURITTO
Jesse Garcia I was an astros fan, can’t believe you defending them. Shows what kind of person you are SMH
@Jesse Garcia do you deliver for taco bell?
@Jessica Garcia Please be quiet and wash them dishes
Jesse Garcia they didn’t win because they didn’t cheat.
Stephen A. and ESPN personalities
= Lebron James and the 2018 Cavs 🤣🤣🤣🤣 (max is Kevin Love)
@@notaseal7864 Molly = Henny god JR😂
We all know who runs ESPN.
He's the face of ESPN
stephen a smith & other brothas that he’s known for 20 years
They cheated. - Pete Rose should be in the HOFover these people.
Jalen Rose: "I don't like liar and cheaters!"
*slowly slips foot under Kobe while shooting a jumpshot*
Bruce Bowen has left the chat.
To be fair it wasnt cheating at the time. Also its just a foul not even a flagrant
@@janrodriguez3200 he admitted to doing it on purpose
When all sports are cancel and ESPN has nothing to talk about.
Why Ryan Clark look like Charlemagne and Kevin Hart had a baby
ESPN running out of ideas with no sports on huh
This is a compilation of previous videos. It's Saturday and most of the folk are home, not to mention quarantining because of Covid-19
Lowk3y Chris you love to complain huh ?
Lol
Is ESPN still pretending like baseball season is happening this year?
Yet the pats have cheated Mutiple times and y’all praise them hypocrites 😂😂😂
Its bc its Tom Brady lol
Every team in the NFL has cheated at some point. Look it u
@@thedoomaster14 so that makes it ok???
Rajae Jones There is a huge difference between videotaping a sideline in a regular season game (and they did get punished for it) and using a camera that ONLY the Astros have access to and there’s no way for the other team to defend against... in the playoffs and the World Series. Huge difference

Imagine cheating and still getting to keep your rings
jamanuel dickerson the patriots did it for 20 years lol
@@barkacademies3829 False.
Eli Howard after spygate how many rings they got after? 3. How many appearances? 5!. I rest my case.
If anyone thinks that even AFTER getting busted in 2007, that the cheateriots stopped cheating, has their head's in the clouds...ESPECIALLY after getting busted again last year with that old excuse..."oh we are filming for a documentary"...Which in turn, was the same excuse they were suppose to use if asked about what they were filming in the past!!!
Justin A good because that was a weak case. They were also caught this season continuing spy gate. They are frauds and cheats and all their titles and wins are illegitimate. I rest my case.
Baseball always had tons of cheating in the game. And I doubt the Astros are the only ones who been cheating in a way similar as that
Exactly.
Yeah your delusional
If other teams are guilty the they need to make an example out of the Astros
@@EthanMcKee. they did
@@slitherking621 your just bias like the east -west coast media.
Yet UFC fighters get popped for juicing on the regular and ESPN looks the other way because they have a contract with them.
D From Dayton I bet if USADA took over drug testing for other sports we’ll see the same. The other leagues testing is not as demanding as the UFC
The contract is a new thing. What big names should they be talking about that have popped since they signed? TJ is about all I can think of and it's not like you would want them talking about it more then once or twice.
In the UFC the players get suspended for years and if they are champions their tittle gets taken away. So yes it should be highlighted more but they get punished appropriately.
What are you talking about? Lol the moment someone gets caught juicing in MMA, espn will make sure that they bring in arial to talk about it for at least two days. Y’all just overreact about everything
@@Izzy-uf5rd do they beat it to death and talk about it religiously like they have the Astros? Not even close
Tough times for ESPN
ESPN, your source for all sports, except the NHL and MLB!! But Basketball we even got basketball players here to criticize baseball! ESPN, your source for all things NBA, I mean sports!
A new study from UC Davis found that the *_louder_* people talk, the more airborne particles they emit, making *_loudness_* a potential factor in spreading airborne diseases.
Astros probably thinking COVID got us forgetting about them...
Nah fam
I don't get it. How is it cheating to decipher the other team's signals? How about no signs at all? How about letting the pitcher pitch and the batter bat, letting them decide for themselves what to do in a given situation?
MLB's decision NOT to make the title vacant lacks all credibility. I'll never watch that sport again.
Still wait for those other teams to be announced.
So the Astros brought a gun to a gun fight, where's the problem?
Hopefully this weird computer virus doesn’t let us forgot about the Houston
Astros
Why do you think the commissioner is sitting on the Red Sox report, that should have been out weeks ago, do you think something is being cleaned up or covered up before it goes public? I want to hear from Cora and Beltran too.
Bounty gate does not equal sign stealing. Sign stealing is beyond an unfair advantage
Vacate the championship
Why are you singling the astros out?
No
Bruh didn’t we already go over this
Seriously it’s getting corny
They ain't got noting else to upload.
I have always insisted: The 2017 World Series champion should be: Vacant!
Why are singling out the astros?
Patriots been caught cheating for years and get off with a slap on the wrist. lol this funny
Tayaso Matador they cheated in the Super Bowl?
anthony cerrato anyone should understand cheating is cheating. Common now
6 rings is all I know muhfuckaaa!!! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
@@3AO4EVR shut up you don't even know. Everyone cheated
nesseiht gnay 😂 go for your research 16 year old
Max Kellerman: Stephen A you make a great case.
Imagine next clip starting Stephen :A You're wrong and here is why
@7:17
In my opinion Ortiz didn't correctly classify Fyers. Fyers is a "Rat" and not just a "snitch."
For example at the time before the public knew anything of the cheating, if Fyers only spoke about the Altuve video and left it at his odd reaction to a big moment in Baseball. Then he would only be "snitching" on Altuve.
Fyers spared no one and laid the entire project out. He "ratted" out the players, the methodology, the tools, and more importantly the leadership used to pull off entire the operation.
There's a component to snitching with every rat but the main difference is the scope of the impacted parties. A classmate "tells" aka "snitches" on another classmate for cheating on a math test vs A classmate "rats" out a teacher for selling the answers for the upcoming exams to another classmate for a big profit.
As you can see one is very small in scope and wouldn't impact the money of the teacher nor that student buying and selling the materials. The "rat" wrecked the entire operation.
I still find it funny that Ortiz who was found on that infamous biogensis investigation, is castigating Fyers for "snitching" almost as if Fyers is a sit in for another intended target.
KD moving to the Warriors is worse than this
Come on... now. There's ZERO chance that a player could hear someone banging on a plastic trashcan in the hallway leading to the dugout in playoffs.
krisko713daclarke you can hear it for yourself if you watch their old games, Jomboy the goat has a few videos on it
@@openminded4751
I'm talking about the playoffs. There's too many fans screaming and yelling to hear someone banging on a plastic trashcan.
krisko713daclarke I think he did a video on the Dodgers series
krisko713daclarke you can faintly hear it over the camera, and if they picked it up on camera then it’s believable that they could hear it at the plate
Put Pete in the Hall of Fame now! I hated him as an opponent, but he deserves it.
Baseball and cheating go hand & hand. Somebody gotta take it to the next level
I don't follow this sport so if someone can fill me in on how the Astros cheated that would be great
We still taking about this? Lol
People, it's just a game. No one got hurt, no one lost a life, no one's livelyhood was put in jeopardy by the Astros, so people need to stop being so damned sensitive about a little cheating.
I want to see the same energy, with the New England Patriots Organization
Because?
Their bias these guys are from the northeast.
Kyle Moore with New England it’s difficult because after the scandal they won the title. With Houston it’s a different narrative because they haven’t won yet. When New England won in 2014 it was pretty much a complete middle finger to everyone non patriots fan on the planet.
@@Justin683 New England has been caught multiple times cheating
Outdoors Geek deflate gate was just flat out ridiculous and spygate was from the 2nd week of football Against the jets. The bengals thing we haven’t heard about it. So I mean idk
My SF Giants would never disrespect the game like the Astros have done.
I can honestly say Giants played the game the right way, and we all respect that and will never be questioned because they had a hella of team, much respect from a Dodger fan.
Ever hear of a guy named Barry Bonds?
Two Astros fans have already watched this video.
I was a fan of the Astros...but I’m doubting if I should root for them?
Hector Ruiz root for the nats
You were never a fan it sounds like or you are being influenced by this time in history of outrage. This is not an indictment on you Hector, don’t fall for it and Let’s go ‘Stros!
Lol relax you don’t have to root for them this season. Teams cheat. Acting like this is the first time. The patriots annndd whole MLB teams. they just didn’t get caught LOL
MO but they cheated...
My sources told me Andrew Luck is coming out of retirement to play for the Patriots
this was months ago
Either strip the Astros or move on. It's a reason why MLB didn't take there championship cause it will open a flood gate
Yeah because a piece of electronic equipment cant make you hit a 100mph fastball. It takes skill. Thats like saying a piece of electronic equipment can make you hit a jump shot or slam dunk.
4:50 is Jalen saying technology was used in the other championship teams wins? 👂
This goes for everyone. relax you don’t have to root for them this season. Teams cheat (obv wrong). Acting like this is the first time. The patriots annndd whole MLB teams. they just didn’t get caught LOL
Why doesn't baseball introduce wireless headsets like NFL quarterbacks. That would eliminate sign stealing.
Guy in red shirt excellent takes
Finn Lecky Ryan Clark
This title confirms SAS too dawg status
Vacate the World Series, ban all players for 3 years, ban all upper staff for life. Hit the Astros with salary cap tax for 5 consecutive years. Force Jim Crane to sell the team to a person who is has no connections to the Houston Area. Manfred must resign because of the inept job he did in the punishment department.
Let’s Not Forget The REDSOX !
Virgo Smith they cheated as well
A ring's a ring.
Bomani Jones is severely underrated.
Molly had to interrupt at 1:43
The Astros do not deserve any sympathy for what they did to their fans and to the game of baseball, and Rob Manfred didn't do not one thing about this
Let it go folks. ESPN looked at their archives and put out content people clicked on, including me. Old story, more important stuff out there. Go ‘Stros!
yawn...espn keeping another dead story alive for no reason other then keeping it alive
Pete rose never bet against his own team. He just bet he would win. That's just a boss!
Nobody gone talk about how Nationals beat cheating Astros
And The Best Part Was The Nationals Didn't Cheat To Win
Future Gohan yessir
Captain Star I’m going tbh Idk that much when it comes to this situation (I do know the history of cheating in baseball like Black Sox scandal) but using my common sense if u cheated and u won and got away with it why would u just stop. U keep going because of the pleasure of winning and hopes of winning chips again. Winning is addictive ig and their success kept going.
Captain Star correct me if I’m wrong though. I’m trying to get into the sport as I have been by two yrs. now.
Captain Star thx for the info. I hope this gets settled and they void their titles and so on as this has no place in sports. I just lacked when it came to following this so yeah thx
Could someone explain to me how they did this and exactly what sign-stealing really is? I'm not a baseball fan, but I understand the basics. Is it basically reading the opponent's hand signals in order to know what play they were running next? And if so, how did they do this? Did they have a book or something on each team's signals? I seriously hope I don't sound like a moron right now lol.
such a shame we have to wait to see altuve and others get thrown at
Poor Houston. First the Texans and now this.
HOW BOUT THEM COWBOYS!!!!
I wouldn't have a problem with pitchers throwing at the Red Sox and Astros batters all season long
Those teams the Astros beat would've lost anyway. Regardless of the Astros "stole" signs, the Astros players still have to hit the ball and make the plays. Y'all just pissed because you lost and because the rockets beats the Knicks azz in the championships. Get over it chumps...
What happened to lead by example..... lead, follow or get the F out of the way
Big Swagoo lol
Im ignorant when it comes to baseball. What does stealing signs mean? the pitches?
Yes the signal to what pitch is coming up.
explain this in basketball terms
Paris Bros they cheat
Last 5 secs of the game. Youre the away team. Your team is down by 2 and you call a time out. Your coach designs a play for a game winning 3. The other team knows what play youre gonna use because of the technology inside the arena (like hidden cameras in the ceiling or something). You try to inbound the ball to your player but he’s heavily guarded. You make a bad decision by passing to another teammate on the court or you commit a 5 sec violation
Miojo thanks 🐐
Astros cheating has been the best negative PR for MLB ESPN almost never talks baseball now they're getting Stephen A soliluques.
Jalen stayed under Kobe’s (God rest his soul) jump shot area so he could get injured PURPOSELY.....hypocrisy? Idk I’m no professional just a fan
Lil Toxic Foo nah, there is a huge difference between Jalen doing something foul within the scope of the game and the elaborate, unconscionable, and one-sided cheating scheme using technology the Astros employed for competitive advantage. Those are not analogous circumstances at all. Further, what the Astros did wasn’t an isolated incident. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to comprehend that.
The Rock cheating is cheating ain’t it?
Content=minimal
That guy wearing the kobe Jersey backwards
Baseball is such a joke.....SAS great point about Rose....I'll never watch baseball again.
Slow slow day huh espn
Why do they act like that about the Astros but not the patriots
This is good for Manfred? The chubby guy with glasses should never be paid for sports analysis again
Ok but where is the red sox punishment?
See the patriots not the only team in sports that cheated
astros fans gunna get so defensive in the comments
Carlos Beltran is borderline HOFer??? Jalen clearly doesn't know baseball 😂
Well he was until this happened
@@chrisbard8587 he can still get in
@Nick Hughes k
Patriots anyone. Gives them this level of outrage.
READ BELTRANS PLAYERS TRIBUNE LETTER

Can lebron take down coronavirus?
"LeBron had to endure Kobe's death and the Carona Virus and a potential WW 3, that's why he's the MVP"
--LeMedia
This was low
I love baseball but like ugh Barry Bonds should be in the HOF because does steroids help ya but it doesnt make it impossible to win
Astros cheated. Got caught. Refused to take responsibility. Sports gods said no more sports
49ers choking in the superbowl reaction?
whodatnation5o4 you mean mahomes and the chiefs stealing the 49ers souls and manhood reaction lol. Chiefs kingdom baby 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Astros thought we would forget. After Corona virus all that will remain is sky scrapers, plastic amd Astro shame.
Stephen A Smith and people on his back
Interested to hear from Astro's fans. I would be disappointed.
First of all im a Astros fan. A piece of electronic equipment cant help you hit a 100mph fastball. We rest our case!
I’m not a big Baseball fan. Ik they cheated but how was it done ?
right. i dont get what was really done
Molly is so aggravating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soo with no sports taking place, we're showing reruns of this. How about we go back to attacking the Astros when baseball comes back, until then how about showing something more interesting, all official sporting channels are doing a decent job, take a page out of their books
Take the banners away .... no championship!!!
What is c web doing he was in a huge scandal himself
Wheres was all of this outrage when the Patriots are filming practices??? Or does it not count bc the greatest player nd greatest coach were the 1s doing it?
To keep it short, the patriots were suspended and there was outrage. The Astros cheated in over 100 games and all the rounds of the playoffs by using technology only they had access to and there’s no way for the other team to defend against
@@sportstypeshi3250 no one called for the Patriots Superbowl to be taken away. Or did I miss something lol
BigBody Rico the patriots have never cheated in the Super Bowl. The Astros were proven to cheat in the World Series. Understand yet ?
@@sportstypeshi3250 so filming teams practices doesnt help u to get to the superbowl???
Thanks guys from yall point about cheating Brady will never make the Hall of Fame along with Belicheat so atleast we on the same page
Did the patriots not do the exact same thing?
Your probably new to sports. Everyone cheats idiot
Astros fans stay mad in the comments
Here's to hoping Altuve or Correa take one to the jaw (the latter because he talks too much) 😂
@MichaelTroy L there's a few (and more to come, patience)
