Some measure of respect to Evan Gattis. He has felt guilty. No one in the history of baseball cheated like the 2017 Astros. The statistics tell the story. A team where (with the sole exception of 40 year old Beltran) every single player improved OPS from 2016 to 2017, and the players with the worst career stats saw the most improvement (Jake Marisnick and Marwyn Gonzalez improved by over +200). Also studied the 2017 Dodgers and 2018 Red Sox and the statistics are much more balanced. I do respect Jose Altuve- I think he is very talented and according to Correa, Altuve was disgusted by the cheating, and got angry when teammates tried to feed him signs. But the fact of the matter is that he had the best year of his career in 2017. It's a massive advantage. Imagine not having to read scouting reports or watch films late at night, trying to figure out pitcher tendencies. In fact, you don't even need to scout opposing pitchers - a huge advantage over teams that were trying to compete honestly. No wonder they were cheating all season, even against teams that lost 100 games, like the White Sox and the Mariners. At that point, it's not even baseball any more. It's some other game.
@@jorben1990 I think that everyone, both fans and players, respects the 2022 Astros. Everyone knows that unlike the cheating Astros of 2017, the 2022 team did not cheat to win and are therefore a legitimate championship team. In fact, the 2017 cheating team was dismantled pretty quickly once the cheating came to light because those players could not play at the same level without cheating. Today there are only two lineup players left from the cheating Astros of 2017, Bregman and Altuve. The cheating of 2017 team should not tarnish the achievements of the 2022 Astros who won honestly, without unfair advantages over other teams and can be proud of what they accomplished on an even playing field with other teams, without cheating.
@@jorben1990 No team in history has cheated like the 2017 Astros. The increase in OPS by the Houston Astros from 2016 to 2017: 1B Gurriel .677 -> .817; 2B Altuve .928 -> .957; SS Correa .811 -> .941; 3B Bregman .791 -> .827; LF Gonzalez .694 -> .907; CF Springer .815 -> .889; RF Reddick .749 -> .847; C McCann .748 -> .759. Utility Marisnick .588 - .815 That's an entire lineup with improved OPS from 2016 to 2017. Five of the nine players set career highs that they never topped. It's insane. Nothing like that has ever happened in MLB history. Cheating at such a high level that it isn't even baseball any more. It's some other game. The worst was in the World Series. In the first inning of Game 7 of the WS, Bregman steals THIRD base for the ONLY TIME IN HIS LIFE. How? Well, he knew the pitches that were coming, as confirmed by Evan Gattis. Also, Kershaw threw 51 off speed pitches and the Astros swung and missed at ZERO of them. Someone ran a computer sim, and the odds of that happening were 128,061 to 1. So it would take 4266 years and it MIGHT happen again. Just absurd - why even play the game.
Spotlight?😂😂😂 as long as the yanks keep losing to Houston the media will be quiet as hell about the Astros. That's old news, nobody cares anymore. Gattis is just to butthurt he can't find a coaching job, that's all.
@@campbellmunn lol that's funny, 1st, show me how the Yankees own the Astros. 2nd, the Yankees were caught stealing signs too, and still lost lol. You better shhhhh like the Yankees have done all these years
@@ByGraceThroughFaith777 Yankees were not caught stealing signs😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Stay off the cocaine. They were investigated and found of nothing. Yankees own the Asterisks
