All jokes aside, the Dodgers played good enough to win the WS that year. Had the Astros not cheated I'm sure the Dodgers would have won another pennant. Last year was a different story altogether. The Red Sox was a machine. Surprised they didn't get back to the WS this year with the talent on that team. That was a very confident group of players. As a die-hard Dodger fan I could sense a come back wasn't in the cards after game one. It was obvious to me that the Red Sox was on another level.
While the Dodgers still could have won at home in GM7, it could be argued that it shouldn’t have ever got to that point.
Does anyone recall the pivotal game 5 that was played at that ridiculous band box stadium in Houston? 13-12 slugfest. It seems the Stros had a lot of help knowing what pitches were coming to score all those runs.
Then there’s question whether the Stros should have even been in that series, as they were clearly aided in their close games against the Yankees in the NLCS.
The eventual WS ‘MVP’ was clearly glancing continually to the right field bullpen for help. As was the juicer Altuve and other notable players. It wasn’t just on the road either.
I knew there was something off with that team in 2017 and told my wife so. She laughed when this news dropped because she remembered all my bitching back then. I still contend Altuve is using some sort of PED’s on top of this stealing signs crap. Now that this level of cheating has come out, along with what happened before with the Stros hacking the Cardinals computers, I’m even more convinced some of these guys are using PED’s, specifically Altuve. Dude is 5-6 160 pounds and went from hitting 2, 7, 5, and 7 HR’s his first 4 seasons to 15, 24, 24, 13, and 31 since. And hitting 420 foot blasts to center field.
Ozzie Smith was one of the best shortstop of all time. He was of similar size and wasn’t ever hitting 420 foot blasts to center. Altuve, Springer and the Stros are a complete fraud.
