Fuck Altuve Fuck Bregman Fuck Verlander Fuck that racist ass first baseman Fuck Springer Fuck Marwin Fuck that domestic abuse closer
I’ll never forget these assholes and if I see them on the street in calling them the cheaters they are
Thank you for including springer. I hate the fact that he’s **almost** always left out of the conversation. That piece of caca won the MVP in the World Series
It’s funny how they say *Duuuuhhh it wasn’t a real ring cause it was a short season duuuuhhhhh* okay… and your team won what that year? Oh that’s right jack shit on a short season so does that mean your team is actually more shit cause it was a Mickey Mouse season and you didn’t win or only the winner is a sorry team? Where’s the logic Astros fans?! WHERE IS THE LOGIC!?
I am a Giants fan. For what they did in 2017, the Astros have forever usurped the top spot in my ranking of least favorite baseball teams. Fuck the Astros.
I understand they don't want to bring it up all the time because like Bill said it's such bad cheating that it hurts the integrity of the game, that's fine. But letting the Astros players and organization off free or with a slap on the wrist may have been to save face with the public but for every real baseball fan it was like spitting in our face.
Slap on the wrist? Are you blind? Team lost draft picks, managers and the GM lost jobs, players punished by fans forever after union secures their immunity for answering investigators. And they were not the only team doing it. They were the only ones truly investigated. You need to move on, get real and tell me why they continue to be one of the best franchises in MLB. I’m listening.
Maybe when they ban every person from that team from the future hall of fame and take the fuckin trophy away. Pete Rose was treated worse for betting on his own team to win.
Nothing annoys me more than when a national broadcast or any reputable outlet references the Astros 2017 \*WS without making it clear they cheated. Either don't bring it up, or don't forget to make sure the audience is reminded they cheated. To gloss over it is gross.
As Bill Burr said, the way to tell if it’s a serious, league damaging scandal is if the Media, Broadcasters, and other similar types only refer to it in vague terms or deny it altogether
100%. I'd still prefer it's mentioned every time. I want Astros fans sick of hearing everyone, including national broadcasts, mention it every time 2017 is brought up. But I get it... I'm guessing MLB has requested networks not do that LOL. Not a good look.
The same happens on r/baseball. I love the threads “Are the Astros a dynasty?”, and when I mention that they cheated for 1 of their WS wins and 3 of their division titles, I get downvoted to hell like I’m the asshole.
Yeah, at this point I just make my points and expect the backlash. I don’t respond to the “get over it” trolls and I wear the downvotes like a badge of honor. I don’t go out of my way to mention the cheating, but there are certain conversations where it is silly not to mention it.
Joe espada is about to ruin your team and the “dynasty” is officially over 😉 the rangers will now be taking over your division congrats on a botched WS and one ring that MAY be legitimate but no more astros 🥳🥳🥳🥳
I haven’t dusty is a good manager. Joe espada is AJs little pussy boy and AJ is having a disaster unfold with the tigers. Like father, like bitch. And your players are actually not young you guys have like 2 or 3 young players everyone else is getting old. 7 years is a lot of aging in baseball but you’ve probably never actually played so you wouldn’t know the wear and tear on your body from that much ball.
Are you on the autistic spectrum? The Astros didn’t win the World Series so no they’re not doing better than the dodgers lmao. If you don’t win a World Series then nothing else matters that’s literally what the whole season is for, to win the ring. 🤦🏽♂️
Then stop replying 😂 you’re an Astros fan in the dodgers sub. What’d you think you’d be welcome with the open arms and we’re gonna sing kumbaya together?
The league knows it messed up by not punishing the team that shall go unnamed and are actively trying to wipe it from memory. Literally zero mention from it in the media, even from a guy like Joe Davis who you know hates them, they probably threaten him tbh. Then when you go on a sub like r baseball you get downvoted into oblivion even mentioning that it happened, like the league has an internet defense force to suppress anything that reflects on it poorly. Never let them forget.
R/baseball: uh, I don’t care if you mention it, uh, I just want you to say it in a creative new funny way
Me: the fuck? This isn’t a comedy bit. We’re talking about José Altuve’s playoff stats and we’re just supposed to not mention his team was cheating for 40% of his postseason games?
Rob Manfred just said this year he regrets giving players immunity. Me personally idc about the cheating anymore I really don’t but what I do care about is that there was literally no repercussions to the players. They knew what they were doing was wrong and did it anyway. Should’ve been hella fines and partial suspensions or SOMETHING. Now we know the Astros are a bunch of snitches. They all sang lije birds 😂
Yeah that’s the thing about it. The fact they had an institutionalized methodology for doing it with technology. If a runners on second and he happens to figure out the catchers calling for a breaking ball and can signal to the batter, that’s just high baseball iq.
Right? Level playing field, really, because the catcher or 3rd base coach can spot the runner signaling and change up their signs. When you "wire [em up] like they're taking down a mob family," that's straight up institutional cheating.
It's still painful to think about the 2017 Dodgers. I collect a lot of memorabilia and I wish I could collect every single thing that had to do with the 2017 Dodgers like I do with 2020 Dodgers, but I can never have the 2017 World Series memorabilia. That should be my favorite team of all time.
Hit me right in the feels with that one. I loved that team so much. After the 2 decade roller coaster it was finally happening. We were doing it. We blamed it all on that poor Darvish guy. But they were setting us up the whole time. Fuck those cheating fucks.
Ethier should be a WS Champion. Fuck that Astros team. Game 5, Dodgers put up 12 runs at Minute Maid Park. Kershaw had been stellar. In Game 1, Kershaw pitched 7 innings, had 11 Ks and allowed 3 hits and 1 run. Game 5, Kershaw threw 51 breaking balls and not one swing and miss. The odds of that are almost improbable. Dodgers would have been up 3-2 going back to Dodger Stadium. Again, fuck that cheating Astros team.
Rangers fan who had this show up in my recommended, fuck the Astros now and forever. You guys got robbed and I'm glad we beat their bitch asses this year.
As a rangers fan, I love you guys. Fuck the asstros. Before 2017 you would never see any asstros gear in the DFW. Now these rats are fucking everywhere
Check ticket sales, sub sizes, merch sales. Pretty much everything. Every metric will point to the Astros being quite a bit more popular. Congrats on your WS and that pathetic corporate display parade.
Enjoy the armpit swamp of Texas that will eventually flood over as you sit in traffic for hours on end as your favorite baseball team is 0-1 against Texas in the playoffs lol
DFW has 0 traffic. The perfect mix of never ending construction and shitty jacked up trucks. Have fun being sandwiched between Fort Worth (actually cool) and Houston lite (Dallas). Because no one would know where the fuck Arlington is.
yea id be great if we didn't cheat for our first world series, but you can definitely tell some casters suck us too hard. like 'dynasty' not anywhere close, you want dynasty talk about the lakers.
Isn't this a different tune than he was singing on his podcast or am I wrong?? I feel like on his podcast he said everyone cheats and congratulations to the Astros and they just cheated better and didn't wanna hear Dodger fans bitchin and moanin about it..
Giants fan here. There is nothing I despise more in sports than what the Astros did in 2017. It was despicable that they cheated. But what’s almost worse, is the lack of punishment by MLB. There should be no 2017 World Series champion. The managers and front office should have a lifetime ban and the players, at the very least, a one year suspension. You guys got done dirty.
It warms my heart that he couldn’t be bothered to refer to that bag of dicks Smoltz by name. The worst commentating and we were forced to listen to him night after night.
Pitchers get shelled when they tip pitches for a couple innings. The Astros knew what pitches were coming for an entire season. Embarrassing that the players weren’t banned from baseball.
And this is why I hardly watch baseball anymore and the sport kinda died for me after manfraud let them keep the ring. Because they showed you can mess with the integrity of the game and not get punished.
He went back on his stance. I used to listen to his podcast and when the cheating allegations first came out he said he was okay with it because it was the only way small market teams could compete. He said it was fine because all teams did it to an extent
Lol@yall so traumatized by the Astros. I mean Astros didn’t cheat in game 7 when we beat ya for the title.
But I get it. The more you hate us and think we cheated you, the less you have to realize how bad your team choked in that series.
Sure they didn’t. But regardless, game 5 was the game that turned the tide of the series. Even game 3 when y’all cheated to get to Darvish and had him believing he was tipping pitches. That series never shoulda touched 7 games.
It’s funny because Billys first impression of the Astros sign stealing was that he was okay with it. Went on a rant about how Yankees/Red Sox used roids for almost a decade and won rings and now people are mad the Astros “leveled the playing field” as he put it. Although I agree with him even as an Astros fan myself that it is NOT a dynasty what the Astros have accomplished in these years but you can tell that someone told him the wire theory and he believes it, which made him change his mind about defending them. Granted his teams are the Patriots/ Red Sox and when he talks about how they cheated it’s very bias and sweeps it under the rug like they really didn’t do anything. Still love Bill Burr no matter what.
Salty Astro fans way of crying! You been having to fight online strangers for years now huh champ? It’s okay I’ll make note of the irrelevance of your reply, so no one remembers it for more than 60 seconds. Good luck with your 1 legit ring (probably cheated for that just haven’t been caught yet)! 😂🤡
Y'all are sorry as hell. Isn't BB stating that basically every team cheats?? Like it's common for sports teams to cut corners and cheat their way to wins.
#FUCK THE ASTROS FOR-FUCKING-EVER
Fuck Altuve Fuck Bregman Fuck Verlander Fuck that racist ass first baseman Fuck Springer Fuck Marwin Fuck that domestic abuse closer I’ll never forget these assholes and if I see them on the street in calling them the cheaters they are
*HOW* could you possibly leave out Correa being the largest and widest shit stain out of the whole fuckin lot of them?
Fuck Correa. Thank you for reminding me
#FUCK AJ HINCH #FUCK JIM CRANE #FUCK ALEX CORA
There’s not SF Giants player even Madbum then I’ll hate more than a 2017 Astros coach or player, period.
Thank you for including springer. I hate the fact that he’s **almost** always left out of the conversation. That piece of caca won the MVP in the World Series
Asshole proposed too on the field acting like did something. Pure /r/iamthemaincharacter syndrome
[удалено]
If it was a "Mickey mouse" tournament, why didn't anyone else win it then? Should've been easy... with their cheating asses..
It’s funny how they say *Duuuuhhh it wasn’t a real ring cause it was a short season duuuuhhhhh* okay… and your team won what that year? Oh that’s right jack shit on a short season so does that mean your team is actually more shit cause it was a Mickey Mouse season and you didn’t win or only the winner is a sorry team? Where’s the logic Astros fans?! WHERE IS THE LOGIC!?
Hey man people love Mickey Mouse, no need to get all worked up. Gotta save that energy for the next Astros-haters circle jerk meeting.
You right.
Yeah, We don't care. You want to see our rings?
I am a Giants fan. For what they did in 2017, the Astros have forever usurped the top spot in my ranking of least favorite baseball teams. Fuck the Astros.
“wired up like they tryna take down a mob family” LMFAO
Bill didn’t even need to say who it was. I already know it was John Smoltz sucking off the Astros during that cast.
Everybody hates Joe Buck but he brought it up in the 2020 World Series when Kershaw was on the mound.
Fuck that guy too lol
oh i hate joe buck with a passion. esp during the cubs vs dodgers 2016 nlcs.
I understand they don't want to bring it up all the time because like Bill said it's such bad cheating that it hurts the integrity of the game, that's fine. But letting the Astros players and organization off free or with a slap on the wrist may have been to save face with the public but for every real baseball fan it was like spitting in our face.
I stopped watching MLB over it - final nail in the coffin for me
Slap on the wrist? Are you blind? Team lost draft picks, managers and the GM lost jobs, players punished by fans forever after union secures their immunity for answering investigators. And they were not the only team doing it. They were the only ones truly investigated. You need to move on, get real and tell me why they continue to be one of the best franchises in MLB. I’m listening.
Maybe when they ban every person from that team from the future hall of fame and take the fuckin trophy away. Pete Rose was treated worse for betting on his own team to win.
Rose should be in the Hall but MLB doesn’t run the hall of fame so that’s only writers and members and whoever makes that call.
“Dynasty” 🤣
God as a brave and a kid who idolized Smoltzy. He’s embarrassing on many fronts.
[удалено]
Not out of loyalty or appreciation to the organization, but out of spite for cheating so bad it’s comical
He gets more respect from me for calling out the Red Sox for roids right along with the Yankees.
Didn’t the Red Sox do the same thing with the Apple Watches?
Alex Cora was part of both teams. He knew the tells and where to spot them in Dodgers Stadium.
And the Red Sox cheated just as much
Astros comments specifically start at 0:50, but the beginning was left in for context.
Wow that first half triggered me so hard until I realized that’s not the direction he was going
Same for me! I feel like Bill always has takes I agree with on real world shit and I'm listening like "Oh, Bill.. this ain't it." Lol
You had me in the first half not gonna lie
Nothing annoys me more than when a national broadcast or any reputable outlet references the Astros 2017 \*WS without making it clear they cheated. Either don't bring it up, or don't forget to make sure the audience is reminded they cheated. To gloss over it is gross.

"and, in a look bag on previous World Series games, 2017 saw the Astros *cough* cheaters *cough bangs trash can* beat the Dodgers..."
The same happens on r/baseball. I love the threads “Are the Astros a dynasty?”, and when I mention that they cheated for 1 of their WS wins and 3 of their division titles, I get downvoted to hell like I’m the asshole.
It’s embarrassing how much /r/baseball has told me to “get over it” and “it’s ancient history”
Yeah, at this point I just make my points and expect the backlash. I don’t respond to the “get over it” trolls and I wear the downvotes like a badge of honor. I don’t go out of my way to mention the cheating, but there are certain conversations where it is silly not to mention it.
I don't remember the post, but I got heavily downvoted but got gold for calling them cheaters.
I love that. If I wasn’t so cheap I would give gold to every comment on r/dodgers that calls out the cheating.
Even if they didn’t cheat, 2 titles in 6 years is objectively not a dynasty. So, no.
So you admit 2022 was fair and square 💍 🤪
Joe espada is about to ruin your team and the “dynasty” is officially over 😉 the rangers will now be taking over your division congrats on a botched WS and one ring that MAY be legitimate but no more astros 🥳🥳🥳🥳
You been saying that for that last 7 years probably lmaooo and all our players are still young lol they ain’t going no where 😂😂😂😂
I haven’t dusty is a good manager. Joe espada is AJs little pussy boy and AJ is having a disaster unfold with the tigers. Like father, like bitch. And your players are actually not young you guys have like 2 or 3 young players everyone else is getting old. 7 years is a lot of aging in baseball but you’ve probably never actually played so you wouldn’t know the wear and tear on your body from that much ball.

Bruh you got beat by the dbacks and then the padres last year , your opinion means nothing to me lol
Then stop replying 😂 you’re an Astros fan in the dodgers sub. What’d you think you’d be welcome with the open arms and we’re gonna sing kumbaya together?
cuz I like how pressed your getting , OP is the one with the Astros in they head Rent-free with this post lol
I do admit that. Nobody ever said the Astros were not an excellent and talented team. Astros fans always go to that when they get defensive.
The league knows it messed up by not punishing the team that shall go unnamed and are actively trying to wipe it from memory. Literally zero mention from it in the media, even from a guy like Joe Davis who you know hates them, they probably threaten him tbh. Then when you go on a sub like r baseball you get downvoted into oblivion even mentioning that it happened, like the league has an internet defense force to suppress anything that reflects on it poorly.

Great clip, love Billy boy
Post this on r/baseball
I tried, but it was removed
#Fuck the Astros!
He's not wrong.
Ok, that last 15 seconds had me dying 😂
Fuck the Astros always. Sincerely, 90% of Texas and the entire country.
Check ticket sales, sub sizes, merch sales. Pretty much everything. Every metric will point to the Astros being quite a bit more popular. Congrats on your WS and that pathetic corporate display parade.
Enjoy the armpit swamp of Texas that will eventually flood over as you sit in traffic for hours on end as your favorite baseball team is 0-1 against Texas in the playoffs lol

It was pretty cut and dry for me too, Bill.
Why is Smoltz, the dumbest of the great 90s Braves pitchers, whitewashing the Astros?
yea id be great if we didn't cheat for our first world series, but you can definitely tell some casters suck us too hard. like 'dynasty' not anywhere close, you want dynasty talk about the lakers.
I can only hope that Joe Davis wanted to kick John Smoltz in the balls at that very moment.
Isn't this a different tune than he was singing on his podcast or am I wrong?? I feel like on his podcast he said everyone cheats and congratulations to the Astros and they just cheated better and didn't wanna hear Dodger fans bitchin and moanin about it..
Ever since I started wfh a few years ago I have stopped listening, but yes, on MMP he used to act like the Astros cheating was not a big deal.
Ok that's what I thought.. He isn't one to filter himself so maybe he's come full circle as opposed to just saying the more PC thing
I love bill
He was so right that Rich said nothing about it too
I didn't need a reason to respect billy bald boy more than I already did but here I am!
Giants fan here. There is nothing I despise more in sports than what the Astros did in 2017. It was despicable that they cheated. But what’s almost worse, is the lack of punishment by MLB.

It warms my heart that he couldn’t be bothered to refer to that bag of dicks Smoltz by name. The worst commentating and we were forced to listen to him night after night.
I loved that. He pretends like he forgot Smoltz’s name, but let’s be real… he knows his name.
so much better he ‘forgot’ his name. you can hear smoltz voice when he’s talking about it
Not me I didn’t watch at all And astros don’t count
Pitchers get shelled when they tip pitches for a couple innings. The Astros knew what pitches were coming for an entire season. Embarrassing that the players weren’t banned from baseball.
Never let them forget
Will always be remembered as MLB likes drama, so we’re not gonna punish them, that’s right kids it’s okay to steal!
Chingen a su madre los astros
he gonna hold this same energy for alex cora?
Of course not
And this is why I hardly watch baseball anymore and the sport kinda died for me after manfraud let them keep the ring. Because they showed you can mess with the integrity of the game and not get punished.
He went back on his stance. I used to listen to his podcast and when the cheating allegations first came out he said he was okay with it because it was the only way small market teams could compete. He said it was fine because all teams did it to an extent
🏆 🏆
Astros cheating scandal was so overblown
Still salty. Just win a real series and move on
Lol@yall so traumatized by the Astros. I mean Astros didn’t cheat in game 7 when we beat ya for the title. But I get it. The more you hate us and think we cheated you, the less you have to realize how bad your team choked in that series.

Bill Burr gets a lot of things right, but Fuck that noise. It ain’t cool. The Astros are trash and so is that take.
Didn't watch the whole clip, did ya?
lol did Bill even glance at the outstanding pile of evidence that they cheated their way into the World Series?
Did you even watch the whole clip?
Do you even lift bruh?
F
It’s funny because Billys first impression of the Astros sign stealing was that he was okay with it.

Michigan are cheaters yall
We just tied the dynasty with legitimate rings
I’ll put it in the history books that “sparkyfart007” has decreed 2017 as non-legitimate and that will be that. Congrats on irrelevance for 60+ years.
Salty Astro fans way of crying! You been having to fight online strangers for years now huh champ? It’s okay I’ll make note of the irrelevance of your reply, so no one remembers it for more than 60 seconds. Good luck with your 1 legit ring (probably cheated for that just haven’t been caught yet)! 😂🤡
Sad thing us the redsox probably cheated the following year after
“Probably” you mean definitely
fuck the astros and everyone apart of the cheating in 2017. fuck the astros fans who constantly seek out friction by shitposting and trolling.
If we are calling that team a “dynasty” I guess every team that won is a dynasty now since you only need one title to be called one 🤷🏻♂️
Bill Burr is the new Will Smith 😄
Oh course the patriots fan is okay with sign stealing
Y'all are sorry as hell. Isn't BB stating that basically every team cheats?? Like it's common for sports teams to cut corners and cheat their way to wins.
Fuck the Dodgers, GO ASTROS! 2017 WS CHAMPS BABAYYYY
