In response to "MLB is suspending Joe Kelly for 8 games. That's 8 games more than any Houston player got for actually cheating. -- nm" by Krusty

My thinking behind this is they need to in order to prevent it happening 20 more times this year.

that would be a.... bad thing? Why?

There's no one to boo them at stadiums, someone has to pick up the slack -- nm - Guigue Jul 29, 15:54
I understand why but the point is that they can come out with a strong punishment for throwing at them but nothing for the players that - Krusty Jul 29, 15:53 7
- The logic behind not punishing the Astros is the only way they found out about it is immunity for the players? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 15:56 6
  - That's the line from Manfred which is absurd -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 16:00 5
    - We're too incompetent to actually prove it ourselves. If you plead guilty, we'll brush it under the rug. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 16:05 1
      - Pretty much exactly what happened. It gave MLB an easy out to not suspend an entire team and players on other teams. - Krusty Jul 29, 16:42
    - "We'll give you immunity if you confirm the story, so we can basically do nothing about it anyway" - Guigue Jul 29, 16:03 2
      - Yes. And the NCAA has told us it's okay to cheat as long as you offer faux degrees to the entire student body, not just athletes. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 29, 16:22
      - Yup. The integrity of the game is suspect -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 16:06
