Cody Bellinger and Trevor Bauer are both showing zero care for Rob Manfred, MLB or the Astors feelings and are letting it all out. This clip below from Bellinger sums up how everyone feels about little Jose Altuve (no wonder he can hit home runs, he knows what pitch is coming.. fraud) and the Houston Astros:
Gained so much respect for Bellinger. And losing every ounce of respect for Rob Manfred and the MLB. Take a book out of UEFA and ban the cheating Astros like they banned Manchester City

And today at Red’s spring training Trevor Bauer let all loose so buckle up. I love Trevor Bauer as he is now taking the place as my favorite non Seattle Mariner in the MLB:
Asked Trevor Bauer 1 question about the Astors, nearly 10 minutes later asked my second. I'm not done transcribing, but… "they are hypocrites, they are cheaters, they've stolen from a lot of other people and the game itself was completely unfair."

Bauer: "… you guys think you are better than everyone and you don't have to abide by the rules? Fuck you. You know? That's how I feel about their whole operation." (more to come)

More Bauer: "If Mike Fiers doesn't come out and say something, nothing gets done. Nothing — even though all the players know this shit is going on, it's the worst kept secret in baseball."

Bauer on Crain: "'We don’t think it affected the game.' You’re either lying or you’re a fucking idiot. And don’t become a billionaire owner of a team by being a fucking idiot. So, you’re lying."

Bauer: "Oh, we’re coming up in four or five days, you’re going to see pitchers throwing live BP with an L-screen in front of them because the hitters know what’s coming. Because it’s fucking dangerous."

Bauer said he hasn't heard from Manfred or MLB about his comments earlier this week: "No. What are they going to say? It’s the fucking truth. "

On Manfred, con't: "you think I have something valuable or you’re mad at me or something like that, then come talk to me. He can find me. What’s he going to be mad about? The truth?"

Bauer on the state of the game: "We have the best group of players the game has ever had, the most talented, the fastest, the most athletic. Just the packaging is terrible. "

Since my phone is blowing up, if there are any more @astros players who want to hit me up to have a conversation on the phone, my agent is @AgentRachelLuba. She will be handling scheduling the rest of these appointments. Talk to y’all soon.

I want Rob Manfred to fine Trevor Bauer.. I DARE HIM. If he did Bauer would morph into rage we might have never seen in history of press conferences. I love this dude. He is saying what all fans are thinking. This is dirty, this is ridiculous and Rob Manfred has no guts. We need to spread it everywhere. Rob Manfred needs to be fired he is inept at his job.
