I ask again what is your response for some pitchers being allowed to change gloves or wash their hands… no comment still

---

I thought it was implied... sorry... if a pitcher, regardless of team affiliation is illegally using sticky stuff... they should be ejected and punished per agreement between MLB and MLBPA.

Don't give me this "no comment still" crap. I said if a Rangers SP was caught that they should be suspended.

As a Rangers fan if Max cheated with the Rangers... he should be suspended. Nobody claimed Nelson Cruz should not be suspended for PEDs.

I never said that Blanco should never pitch again... I don't think anyone has said that. What is being said is... take responsibility. He has admitted to violating the rules. Confirmed by his manager. Take the "L" and accept it.

The problem people have with the Astros is this whole "I'm being singled out" theme that cheaters use to deflect responsibility. Just Own It. Instead, you'll try to mock everyone that calls you out.

If you cheat and get caught... Own it. Serve your time and move on.

Don't confuse recognition with obsession. Recognizing you are cheating again isn't an obsession as much as statement of "where you are."

Funny you mention this when you have roid head Adolis Gracia currently on yalls team, and lets go back in the past.

Palmerio, Sierra, Canseco, Sammy Sosa, Pudge, etc,etc..

LOL Rangerette hypocrites.

Is there some indication that Blanco is refusing to serve his time?

He seems to legitimately not know he was doing anything wrong. What, precisely is he or is he not doing that's ruffling your precious little feathers so much?

Hey chach, if you honestly think the Ranger's just won a ship without a win at all cost mindset, you are one delusional sob.

It's professional baseball. You don't win it all without pushing the boundaries. Stress testing the rules is an integral part of the sport and has been since the very beginning. Your little high horse is the epitome of delusional.

Cool. I'll put you on the "Altuve uses PEDs" list.

LOL Altuve used Peds but Gracia doesn't lol most delusional fan base dorks in all of MLB

So, you are asking about a 6 year old video that shows a player doing something that isn't considered illegal at the time?!

I don't think a player slapping his wrist like that is what Blanco has been caught doing. I'm not going to play your straw man gotcha of "this or that."

Just own it.

Pathetic is your fanbases circle jerking over an issue one of your players literally goy in trouble for doing less then a year ago.

Pathetic is getting swept by the Colrado Rockies.

Hth

The guy with 2 of the worst takes in Texags history telling others to "just own it."

Wow.

I'm actually on record of saying Garcia probably uses. No delusion. If he gets caught... suspend him. But, you likely won't catch him because MLB has reached the point that they have TUE for some players for some things. We just don't get to know.

I want transparency in MLB so we can have consistency. If more fans would adopt my mindset, we'd clean up the sport.

If players know they'll get suspended for what Blanco did... fewer players will do it. Escalate they punishment until it makes it not worth the risk.

But, as we are today... a guy washing cars in the DR who gets $10K to come pitch in America where he can get Millions... is too enticing.

Blanco made $721K last year and will make a similar amount in 2024.

I don't know what he was making washing cars, but in the DR... per capita income is less than $10K (USD) per year. Would I do anything I could to be a MLB player and make more in one year than I could make in 70 years in DR?! You bet your sweet ass I would.

Right on schedule. This thread was fairly benign and contained measured exchanges for the first 6 weeks of the season but has gone south in a hurry.

Devastating. Surely, that retort is as close to a mortal wound as any I will face today.

• Odor was on a path to be one of the Top5 HR hitters at 2B of all time.
• Altuve takes PEDs.

Both are accurate and solid takes.

At 28, Odor is 22nd in All-Time HRs by a 2B... 178 in 1154 GP.
15. Altuve (34) is at 216 in 1709G
10. Lou Whitaker is at 244 in 2390G

By age 25 ('15) Altuve had amassed a whopping 36 HRs, while Odor was at 136 by the same age is somehow a disqualifying recognition... I guess.

I have no problem with my statements... and by saying "Altuve was better" only makes the 2nd point.

Personally I don't give a **** if Altuve is taking horse tranquilizers and freebasing heroin. As long as he hits like mofo, I'm good to go.

Back in the 2010s I realized I don't care if my teams guys use or not when I noticed that Brian Cushing off steroids was a way ****tier player than Brian Cushing on streroids.

Only by the same kind of folks still claiming Framber cheated in the 2022 World Series i.e. those not to be taken seriously.

I decided with Maurice Clarrett that I'd rather by terminally mediocre than to cheat and win.

We took different paths, I suppose. I was content not winning a MNC nor a WS. Winning just isn't that important. That is why a 3game sweep at the hands of the Rockies doesn't bother me the way some of your kinfolks think it would.

If you could prove to me that every other team doesn't break the rules at all, then I would be bothered by the Astros incidents in 2017.

Covering sports at the high school and college level for 12 years makes me laugh at that statement though. Every team in every sport on every level is looking for advantages it can use to win. And they only give a **** about the fact that it might be cheating after they get caught. I can give 100 examples without breaking a sweat of this happening at the HS and college level.

It's like the famous book says, It's only cheating if you get caught.

It literally keeps up at night what losers in Arlington think about my local sports teams accomplishments.

Guess that attitude helps you rationalize it all, but y'all are "getting caught" way more than most

Not posing a strawman, just a simple yes or no question. Do you think rosin applied to the forearm (not illegal) as shown in the video could get rosin on the glove?

I've seen plenty of pitchers apply rosin like that. Just looking at what appears to be a pretty clear example of how rosin could have gotten on his glove.

Pretty sure Blanco has been checked routinely by umps every game, just like every other pitcher.

But that window licker wouldn't recognize a fact if it slapped him across his empty head.

"Pretty sure" is not a fact, hence the use of an asterisk. A 10 game suspension for using a sticky substance is a fact.

Just saw her response since I have her on ignore. I didn't say Blanco wasn't using something last night or any other night, but he has been checked every game just like every other pitcher does. Apparently, if he was using rosin on his non-throwing hand, it wasn't enough to warrant ejection.

But again, that poster is just interested in flaming and not discussing facts. Best to put her on ignore.
