- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- MLB commissioner Rob Manfred sits down with Karl Ravech to discuss the investigation of the Houston Astros for their sign-stealing scandal and when he became aware of the alleged cheating. (1:56) Manfred explains why it took so long for MLB to investigate this, even before former Astros pitcher Mike Fiers spoke out, and the biggest challenges he faced looking into the matter. (4:48) Manfred goes into the decision to send warnings to the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox in 2017, why it never reached those players. (14:06) Manfred contends that an owner of a team has the ultimate responsibility for what goes on in their franchise and explains why he decided not to punish Astros owner Jim Crane. (17:55) Manfred responds to talks swirling around on how many are upset that the players were not punished. (21:47) Manfred reacts to the Astros’ spring training press conference with Crane, Dusty Baker, Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman, and how their attempt at an apology wasn’t successful. (24:31) Manfred says stripping the Astros of their 2017 World Series title was discussed and explains why he went with the decision he made. (28:33) Manfred states that there will be a new policy before the 2020 season, and at the core of that policy will be to restrict access to video during the game. (33:53) Manfred discusses how deep the investigation of the alleged use of buzzers went and that they found no evidence of them being used in the 2019 season. (38:28) Manfred responds to Cincinnati Reds pitcher Trevor Bauer’s comments on the new playoff proposal and Bauer calling him a joke, and says as much as he disagrees with his statements, he would never speak out on a player like that.

They are treating the players like they are little leaguers who are just learning the rules. Why wouldn’t someone do it again if there’s no punishment?
They Went Through Phone Records, Emails and Other Private Infomation to Assure They Wasnt Lying So Yes ,In This Situation They Granted Them Immunity
jsmooves sports nation yep, and they shouldn’t have gotten immunity. There was enough evidence for the players to get in trouble already
@@jsmoovessportsnation2531 why would any proof be in physical form it seems everything was word of mouth
Yes! Well said, Ike! I’ve been saying the same thing for years about PED users and Pete Rose. If there’s no punishment for those who break the rules, then what’s to stop future players from doing it? 👏 👏 👏
perfectly said Ike
Gonna suspended pitchers for throwing at the Astros, but not suspend any of them for cheating...what a joke
They cant suspend everyone. The pitchers of other teams should stick together and keep doing it.
Boycott the season. Hold a protest until Astros players are suspended.
Arthur Au I was thinking the same thing!!! What if all the teams playing the astros said “we don’t want to subject our athletes to these working conditions (meaning the competitive advantage the astros have because they’re cheating)”
Nicholas Wopperer give the Astros automatic W’s mlb would wish they punished everyone involved its okay idea
You're right!
Resign buddy !!! You are a horrible commissioner
No one on the Yankees were suspended.
lou Albino I don’t care about any suspensions brother, but that title must be stripped for the record, they do not deserve to call themselves champions of baseball in 2017 ... and deep inside you know it !
@@jasonabreu2623 Ok. The Yankees weren't stripped of their AL east crown.
lou Albino why would they of had ????
@@jasonabreu2623 For using technology. Don't be a hypocrite.
This is one of the weakest dudes I have ever seen in my life.
@Frog Brawl Stars I swear he was like about to cry and sob on the field I kinda felt bad for the man
Let’s keep it real here, the lack of punishment and any future “consequences” will always come down to monetary reasons
There is no integrity in MLB.
There never has been integrity in sports in general. Teams have been cheating since Adam and Eve times. The oldest RECORDED instance (baseball) of a team attempting to steal signs dates back to 1876, when the Hartford Dark Blues hid a person in a shack to tip off their hitters when the pitcher would throw a curveball. In 1897, the manager of the Philadelphia Phillies, had a backup catcher hide in a clubhouse beyond center field with a binocular and a telegraph that he used to alert the manager to what pitch the opposing catcher was calling. In 1900, Pearce Chiles, a coach for the Phillies, was caught standing on a box with electric wires that relayed to him coded messages about what pitch was coming, which he relayed to the batters by stomping on the ground. As late as 2001, members of the 1951 New York Giants admitted to stealing signs against the Brooklyn Dodgers using a telescope 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ to win the National League that season. Believe me, there hasn't been a pause of this type of activity. This is a league wide problem. The Astros aren't the only ones. Other teams haven't been snitched on by a "Mike Fiers" and the Astros have just been made the scapegoats of this all.
This guy is a joke manfred is killing the game of baseball that has already been dying for years
Ratings went up 10 percent on TV last year and is doing much better tha years past, but none of that is because of him.
Heel Charisma definitely Manfred’s burner lol.
Joe Its true tho
It hadn’t been dying for years moron
@@heelcharisma1553 give them steroids and juice the ball if you want higher viewership
I’m not sure if the same rules apply to MLB commissioners as they do in the NFL, but the owners should vote this guy out! This guy is a joke. He really is!
Well they just mentioned what UEFA did. So that shows how far behind MLB are in punishing. 30 mil compared to 5 mil! That's a slap on the Astros wrist.
The owners hire and fire the Commissioner. And right now, I'd wager most, if not all, of the other 29 owners, aside from the Astros, are unhappy with Manfred, so...
Trevor Bauer is right. Manfred is a joke!
Rob Manfred suck
Do yourself a favor and resign. I realize that do not you have the courage or intellect to be the commissioner.
Rob Manfred should step down, this guy is so out of touch. 45 minutes of BS.
A piece of metal... not sure if he's dumb or very intelligent. If it's a piece of metal because the 9 figure payout 4 getting a chip and $$ remains n Houston then yes its metal & doesn't matter only thing does is $$$$
Voice trembling and all.. man is lying through his teeth ..
Daniel Shaffer The buzzer question really shook him. Definitely lying through his teeth
Maybe
Well he was a lawyer in a former life so lying is something he should know how to do
Hook him up to a lie Detector...MLBPA says they did not block investigation for immunity. Somebody is lying like a MF'r.
What soccer just did to Manchester City for cheating should be the approach here. Ban the team 2 years from post season play.
Agreed, including not allowing players from that year that are now on other teams from playing as well
Exactly, Brandon Wallace. Great example.
When I was in Little League I knew that cheating was the worst thing to do in competitive sports. Yet these grown men can’t take responsibility for consciously cheating? Give me a break
Grown baseball players cant take that responsibility. They're all cheating. Not all have been snitched on. That's all
Oh, let me guess you didn't keep score . A great man once said "Win if you can, lose if you have to, but always cheat."
watch Icarus id argue that 90% of athletes in any physically demanding sport are taking some form of ped . which could be growth hormone ,testosterone , other anabolics , insulin ,EPO ect. ephedrine is considered a performance enhancer (cold medicine) Its very unfortunate but were at the if ya cant beat em join em stage of sports .
Fans should really consider boycotting the mlb until they restore order. I won’t be attending any baseball games until punishment is really served
Nah
JustEndItAll anybody involved in this scandal should be banned for life
I thought the same thing because in the end the fans can dictate what can happen if the profits and viewership go heavily down
You won't be missed.
You will never step foot in an MLB park again, then.
“...In a perfect world players would get punished” no, with a competent commissioner they would.
Cass Sanchez very well said!! I couldn’t agree more
That was so cringy to hear
Well, that would mean all the teams. They have all cheated. MLB would not go for that
With a commissioner with a pair of testacles they would*
Stop protecting the players Manfred!! They need to be suspended and fined. This was a for the players by the players cheating scheme!!!!!
He's afraid of the stubborn MLBPA. That's why
Start the fines and suspension process and the public PR and Media will help that even the players union will have to step aside and let the fines and suspension stand.
Brian Chua the players association wouldn’t defend the Astros that excuse is so hollow
Too late , he granted players immunity in exchange to go thru their personal information. There is no turning back
This was a for the players by the players cheating scheme!!!!! Couldn't put it better myself!
Manfred ought to resign. Complete lack of leadership with him as Commissioner.
👀
He's worst than Roger Goodell of NFL
"We take the responsibility for protecting the integrity of the game very seriously." Yeeeah, no. You made an absolute joke of the league. Good one, rob.
This dude is a One Man Warren Commission!
So the trophy is "a piece of metal"?
According to the commissioner
Yeah, I caught that too. Not a good look if that’s what the commissioner things of the value of the championship. Just belittled the value of his own championship game, playoffs, and overall season. He’s a horrible commish.
The guy is a complete buffoon.
Omg when I heard him say that, I was like wow I can't believe he said that.....
manfred should immediately be removed from his position ,, where's judge landis when you need him
I can't believe how that statement just flew over people's head.
Society: cheaters never win
manfred: hold my beer
........ What society are you paying attention to?
FYI
Nice guys/them's finish last.
This guy is physically and emotionally drained. He looks completely exhausted. He really should just step down.
better then Selig?
BRIANBA100 than *
He is on pace to be worse than Selig.
BRIANBA100 yes I think he is 😉
Mike Fiers has created a three ring circus in MLB! How High School! The MLB Union needs to take away his 2017 post season pay bonus of $430,000 he recieved! Not KOOL!
Suspend Astro players. Vacate the 2017 World Series. Anything less is unacceptable.
Altuve and Correa to Guantanamo for a year, with no pay
Yup
Take away Altuve and Correas right to play in the US for at least 2 years.
Yeah, but if they got traded to your preferred team, you wouldn't say that right? That seems to be the trend now. HYPOCRITES
@@worldtraveler721 No. They would never be allowed on my team's franchise. Ever. So I have zero problem with calling them out.
The commissioner has put out his report: I am Useless.
Cliff Jones 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Exactly!!
I’m pleasantly surprised by ESPN. Karl Ravech was asking him good questions and pressing him for better answers. Well done
Ravech said "alleged cheating." That is not a realistic way to address this topic.
I beg to differ. I thought horrible interview. Badly worded questions. Childish at times.
He needs to be fired. Not a GOOD liar at all. Should've came down hard inn the Asterisks... JUST LOST A LOT OF BASEBALL FANS
Asterisks 😆 Good one
Well start will yourself, erase this post and stop watching baseball.
I already canceled my at bat subscription. I'm sure there are plenty of others doing the same.
54 years of loving baseball coming to end for me. It's been a struggle for many reasons but I've hung on but this is too much. Letting the players skate free with blatant cheating and letting the astros steal a championship just makes competition a farce. Teams will just move on to another way to cheat because how can they not? The players union will protect them. Manfred has no real power as he is obviously being controlled by the owners and the players union. The MLB needed to come down hard on this to protect the integrity fo the game and they took the easy way out and basically spit in the fans faces. Luckily I hadn't renewed my MLB subscription so I now have to find another sport to fill my summers. Thanks for the memories.
This commissioner killed baseball.
Bart needs to return from the dead.
This was another slap on the face to all
Baseball fans !
The Astros hitters will rightly be in danger this season. The commish didn’t do enough for punishment so now the pitchers of other teams will
Jeff Wietry ok, PLEASE go ahead and put runners on base lmao. If teams are willing to take hefty suspensions, fines, as well as pretty much give free wins to the Astros then be my guest😂
Carlos Mendieta they’ll just make sure to do it on the road. We all know how different those stats are with runners on base are when the Astro’s aren’t at home. It’s funny seeing you guys be happy with your World Series. I’m a RedSox fan and I wouldn’t be mad or shocked if we got stripped too
Carlos Mendieta why ya’ll defending cheaters the only titles you guys won shouldnt even count. Trash team trash organisation trash fans
Jeff Wietry they would of got hit anyway
@@assface954 I don't blame em, they barely found out they had a baseball team in Houston after 2017.
This was Manfred’s moment to really put his stamp on his legacy as MLB commissioner. Reminds me of Adam Silver dealing with the Donald Sterling situation, but unlike Silver who set a great example of how to deal with corruption/scandal in your sport Manfred went the Rodger Goddell route and dropped the ball. As a baseball fan(and admittedly a dodgers fan) I don’t think I’ll ever get over how badly he has handled this. Obviously the real bad guys are the players and coaches who participated in this and basically stole a ring from the Dodgers and a potential ring from the Yankees, but Manfred will forever be remembered for how soft he was on them.
I'm not a baseball fan and watching how this all panned out even made me angry. Ultimately, if you're a sports fan, you're supposed to respect the win, even if it was your rival or even if your team was hurt, etc. No excuses.
This guy just gave a reason to demean the win because he doesn't respect the symbolic value of trophies- what it means to those competing and their fans and all fans of the game. This guy has stamped 2 cheating champions in history. What a calamity.... I feel for the Dodgers, dawg.
It’s too late, people now know that they can’t be sure how legit the game is now.
They also know, that MLB is powerless...
Powerless because they choose to be... Because of "Leaders" like this buffoon.
Just like the steroid era when baseball looked away because fans were coming back.
Houston is working on new ways to cheat in 2020.
FIRE MANFRED! He blames EVERYONE but himself (and the Astros playesrs). Time to be accountable for turning this garbage fire into a wild fire!
Manfred looks so nervous. He has an idea that he is at the risk of loosing his job.
I hope so.
He isn’t Lmaoo
Mike Fiers waited basically three years before going forward with his statement and investigation. Ironically half of the 2017 team is gone! Mostly veterans that were protected by the MLB Union!
What a joke.. Opportunity to set an example with clear black and white evidence of cheating. Then the arrogance demonstrated by the Astros organization with those hollow apologies. Bunch of bums.
Strip the title. You start a precedent.....you don’t need to rely on one
"Vacated" looks perfect in the almanac.
Did he just belittle the value of his own championship trophy and call it a “piece of metal?” Wow! He needs to go!
I was think the same thing (a piece of metal) this guy should be fired for that comment alone.
Exactly! Absolutely ridiculous!
Joseph Edwards what minute mark does he say that? I’m looking for it
25:50
Joseph Edwards but it is just a piece of metal
Get rid of this guy, he's toast...
BTW, strip the Astros of the title too...
Rob Manfred: We take great responsibility in protecting the integrity of the game
Viewers: Really.....doesn't look like it!
"Watch the players faces I think they paid a price, they're not skipping to spring training"
No they are still making 100k - 20million + , defrauding the American sports system and now Vegas, peoples fandoms and the money spent on cheering for something we cant garuntee is on the up and up.
Karl Ravech really grilled him.. you can practically see the sear marks. He needs to go.
25:46, the 'piece of metal' quote getting so much press. The championship is just a piece of metal, and he had the 'intestinal fortitude' to reveal the facts while giving near unanimous immunity.
so because the players "didnt get the memo".....they didnt KNOW they werent suppose to cheat? Come on now Manfred....thats as weak as Cranes presser yesterday....
Thanks to Karl Ravech for not throwing softballs up there. Great questions and great follow up. Mandfred looked like Sandusky here. Just absolutely guilty with no legitimate explanation.
You know Manfred is trash when Bud Selig is getting praise on how he would have handled the Astros!! 😂
Selig was a former owner. He would have done the right thing here.
Rob Manfred needs to go. MLB Investigation and non punishment to the players was handled terribly
Take their title away. It's bogus
You mean that "piece of metal" Manfred called it? This commissioner is a joke for that statement and his approach to this whole situation.
The players admitted to Manfred that knowing the signs was an advantage. He shld have put that in his MLB Report because now the Astros & Owner are tiring to pretend it may not have mattered.
A piece of metal that represents the best in the Game
Protecting the integrity of the game? How does allowing the Astros and Red Sox to keep WS titles promote integrity? How does giving players immunity protect the integrity of the game? How does giving one year bans to the Manager and GM of the Astros promote the integrity of the game? Answer: Not one bit.
Keep That Same Energy For Every Team Who Cheat
jsmooves sports nation we will
encinobalboa chill with the Red Sox we weren’t banging trash cans lmao
@@Mayancinnamon You Still Cheated Tho
jsmooves sports nation get over it
He was in a tough situation
He needed to give the players immunity to talk but does immunity also protect their championship? I don’t think so
He found proof they cheated, they cheated their way into the playoffs then to a World Series win. He should’ve stripped their title
Hey Manfred, sorry, but Cody Bellinger was spot on with his comments. You just can’t admit it.
Bellinger was just hurt over the fact that he couldn't hit a breaking ball to save his life in that series. Bellinger was as much at fault, perhaps even more, than the signs that were stolen.
@Austin Johnson Bellinger was at fault for his pathetic performance in that series. He knew what was coming without video and still couldn't lay off of that freaking breaking pitch in the dirt..
@@buzzy2738 Truth….Bellinger sucked in that series. Had Bellinger hit .250 in that series, it wouldn't have mattered.
@@buzzy2738 Bellinger hit .143 (2017) and .063 (2018) World series.....Perhaps someone who actually showed up for the World Series should be complaining.
@@buzzy2738 If Bellinger just could have hit the curveball that he knew was coming, the Dodgers would have won in 2017...(You are about to make my point for me in your next post)… :)
I have been a Baseball fan for over 45 years
I'm a Houstonian for 18 years
The Astros betrayed thier fans and
Disgraced The city of Houston
The commissioner is a clown
The players should all be fired
Insted they are payed millions of dollars to disrespect the game of
Baseball
I wouldn’t be surprised if Manfred starts getting “boo” like Roger Goodell
Alejandro Delgado no doubt about that. Especially in LA & NY
This comment aged like wine. He is getting booed at the World Series.
Please explain to me how this guy gets chosen as a commissioner. Dude has no leadership skills
He’s worse than ROGER GOODELL
Michael McDonnell no, that’s the heavy weight champ right there. King Goodell
Whoa, idk about that. Goodell is still the Number 1 in worst commissioner in American Sports.
Brian Chua well not anymore
Manfred: "...it's just a piece of metal." Fine. If it's just a piece of metal. Give the piece of metal back.
manfred is asleep at the wheel
Who’s here after this dude got booed so loud during his speech😂
Someone in the MLB needs to overthrow Manfred, Succession style.
25:46 “piece of metal”
As a baseball fan I’m deeply offended. One word “Accountability” there is none. We the fans and players were cheated of the integrity of the game. We seem to forget why and how “baseball” started. It’s sad for our nation. This is why we can’t compromise even in our discipline. And for the players (and cameraman) that agreed to cheat they never knew the integrity of the game. By the way I feel bad for the children of the players:(
The MLB is going to implode on themselves if no repercussions arise from this. Other teams will try and do the same thing because of the lack of punishment on the Astros, along with the league punishing the players who go after the Astros players (whether it be beanballing the batter, trash talk or fighting), more so than the Astros players who cheated themselves? Come on now..
Bravo to Karl Ravech. Still has the old school ESPN Pre-Disney spirit. He turned up the heat in this interview.
Boycott watching and going to games until manfred steps down.
Difficult to figure out what happened? HOLY MOTHER OF GOD A RUclipsR FIGURED IT OUT AND SHOWED YOU>
Gennaro Cavainolo thank you !!!!
Manfred is a Captain Save A Hoe 🤣🤣
Lmfao
MLB_Don what’s that mean, turn a hoe into a nice girl?
The MLBPA owns this man
By not vacating a the tittle you’re sending a message to kids that Cheaters are Champions
Suddenly Bud Selig doesn't look so bad anymore
I want to throw up listening to this
Rob Manfred looks exhausted.
He should retire.
He should be FIRED!
If I had a dime for everytime he said 'I understand'
Bud would've stripped the Red Sox and Astros of their titles.
As a red sox fan in nervous to find out their investigation, i know things happened in the past, but i sure hope 2018 was legit
He's the reason Barry Bonds was able to surpass Hank Aaron.
@@joeschmoe5009 lol Alex Cora is the king pin on this. 😂😂😂 y'all guilty as well. But don't worry Astros are the scapegoat we got yall covered lol.
@@htxtexans my thing is, when we watch these games, the networks cameras cheat for them, why not use a live broadcast, then its like, well we didnt cheat, you did, we were just watching ourselves on tv
So, in his words this is ranked number 2 in MLB scandals. Manager and GM get 1 year suspension. Then where does the Pete Rose scandal rank? He got a lifetime ban.
The most ESPN has covered MLB in years for all the wrong reasons. I love baseball but MLB needs to make significant changes. Theyre like the old 50 year vet teacher who wont adapt to the new generation.
Haywood because nba and nfl are more popular sports
@@NoahWeintraub i know, thats my point. MLB is stagnant and the game is way too slow. Only pro sport without a timer. They need to make a way to get the game more fast paced and increase the offense. This strikeout or HR shi is weak. And I love baseball.
Rob Manfred represents everything that's wrong about the game of baseball. MLB not going anywhere with him at the helm
Pete Rose banned for life, 1919 White Sox banned for life, Astros stern talking to
Resign please
The new Jelly Fish Commissioner!
You have failed this league!!!! 😂
I trust Roger Goodell more than this dude.
Daniel Orton . Wdym “😂”. No matter what further consequences they’ll face, our viewpoint to the Astros will never be the same. What a corrupt organization, it’s not funny at this point
If Adam Silver was the commissioner of Baseball, The Astros would be stripped of their title, and force them to return to their rings.
This was a Rob Manfred beatdown. It’s obvious his time is only ticking until he is no longer commissioner. He should just step down now
Think of this, the hammer was dropped on the Black Soxs for throwing games. The players were fired for life, and never again since then, did a baseball team throw a game away. Here you have them get away with cheating. This Commissioner has to go, period!!!
This is the same guy who called the World Series trophy a "piece of metal". Do you know how bad that diminishes the title? Do you know what example that sets for young kids and baseball players everywhere? Get this man out of here, or the fans will.
Listening to astros players call themselves champions and correa saying they won fair and square makes it not seem like a futile act to strip the championship
Replace Manfred with Jomboy
No more rats in the league please
Yuck not jomboy lol
WAIT 💀😂😂💀😂😂😂😂😂did he really say that a person cheating by not trying to win is worse than a team cheating to try and win? Tf that’s like saying someone murdering you with a gun is worse than someone murdering you with a knife 😂 this has to be the worst commissioner of any sport ever
Need to interview him on why he thinks it’s okay to change rules in this great game and ruin this game. Get him out as commissioner
Commissioner Creed Bratton: "If my parents see this interview, I'm toast."
Mike McLintock “that’s Rob Manfred, and he’s in charge of… something”
STRIP THE TITLE MANFRED!!
You don't need 45 minutes to say "The Houston Astros are stripped of the 2017 title".
Robbed the dodgers twice!!
Did you hear Correas garbage excuse for Altuve and Reddick? Pathetic! And yes Altuve did rob Judge for MVP! Just like Ryan "Dopehead" Braun did in 2011 robbing Matt Kemp of NL MVP. MLB really needs to wake up and start punishing these stars. But we know they won't because big names fill seats, and push revenue. "A piece of Metal" wow just wow...this is the commissioner of MLB.
This dude has 0 credibility left.
Manfred should no longer be the commissioner of the mlb he is a terrible man, players that take ped get suspended and the astro players got away, how they still have the world series trophy is mind boggling. They cheated to win everything plus bonus money should be stripped the astros ruined people's lives
What a bunch of BS.
This isn't good for our game. He needs to step down immediately.
Every single away game for the Astros is going to be like watching WWE. It's going to be a long season for those cheaters.
Asterisks better get the ice packs ready
No it wont, because Manfried has the Astros backs and if there is any retaliation the penalties against the other players will be harsher then the so called penalties he imposed on the Astros cheating scandal
An excellent, hard hitting, no fluff interview. Credit to the Commish for addressing each question directly and as transparently as he felt he could. Great job to both!
His argument for why he didn't of why he didn't strip the title just doesnt make sense. Using the precedent that no title has ever been stripped before has the most logical follow up question in journalism: Well no other championship team has had such a well documented CHEATING scandal been revealed about them while theyre still in the league.
Actually that's not true. But the findings usually don't come until decades later.
@@cbenji07 It is absolutely true. I said while theyre still in the league. And base on other players comments this weekend it might be even top of the list if you take away that caviot and thats coming from proffesional ballplayers who know the game better than you or I ever will.
@@mattking1307 ABSOLUTELY!
@@cbenji07 WRONG!
@@mattking1307 shot heard round the world came from cheating.
When Fan Dual, AC, Los Vegas and all the others start calling the bad actors - Defendant. This will not stop. When you allow betting, things change. An absolute obligation to provide a fair contest exists. Every game. MLB, Players ownership all failed. Sue the clowns. We call this fraud.
Skip to minute 44:00 for Hitting the Astros or beating the Astro players during a game for revenge skip to that minute and you’ll find out what the commissioner has said
This dude just called the world series trophy "piece of metal." And this is the commissioner?!?! Wow
