Just wasn't sure if he knew the actual definition.

He knows everything, hasnt he told you? He knows he's a troll and that he's trolling with his lil "innocent" Im just posting about BLATANT CHEATERS, even tho Matusz wasnt the only cheating pitcher caught recently but the only one he selectively posted about.

And Matusz got punished pretty severely.

The Pats got punished as a team because their employees(who don't play in actual games) conspired to break the rules. No one cares if they get fired, the team still has to pay.

He got a slap on the wrist. Not even 1 full game if we look at it as a ratio of the length of the baseball season to the length of the football season.

How can such a lame punishment prevent the Orioles* from continuing their cheating ways?? Matusz should have been suspended the rest of the season and Showalter 81 games.

Cheating is cheating.

This is clearly about he patriots.

But how in the world can you day Showalter should be suspended? .... 81 games?

Cheating is cheating. Giving the Orioles* a lame slap on the wrist will not discourage the activity.

Belicheck should be suspended 8 games? Yes or no.
I am done discussing the New England Patriots, their scandals and their punishments (despite the fact that every single thread I contribute to gets hijacked into a discussion of New England football). This thread is about the Baltimore Orioles*.

Cheating is cheating. Matusz should have been suspended the rest of the season and a half season for Showalter, who certainly knew about it because nothing happens that he does not know about.

The Orioles* ridiculously meager achievement is now tainted.

And what s your suggested punishment based on?

Matusz was given the same exact 8 day suspension as another pitcher was given for the same minor offense recently, you know the other ONE you forgot to post about in all your quest for integrity in sports . . . . and informing the board here of your high standards for every team but the one you love ad root for.

Matusz didn't cheat in the ALCG like Brady did and still got twice as many games punishment. Why bring up last year?

Belichick wasn't suspended at all and either was Showalter, seems fair.

Cheating is cheating.

1m to the Pats is like 20k to Brady

It is based on the fact that they barely gave a slap on the wrist to the confirmed cheater, Brian Matusz. But there is zero incentive for the Orioles* not to continue with their cheating ways.

Showalter knew and should get 81 games. Cheating is cheating. Even the smallest advantage can be huge and impact fairness, competitive balance and the integrity of the game.

The only thing this thread has accomplished is showing that you can not stand to be proven wrong and erasing any respect you might have gained by posting on this board. There is not one person here that believes you have any interest at all in what an Orioles pitcher had on his arm other than using it as a reason to poke a stick in the ribs of an Orioles fan who had the nerve to question your beloved Patriots.

Post of the day.

Well 2 days ago.
