I want to Punish the Astros in my Franchise

[Bullit]

So as I am wrapping up my 2019 year and will be moving into the 2020 season, I have decided that I want to Punish the Astro's for the cheating scandal.

So I am thinking about going in an injuring a few players for some time up to a whole season for their transgressions.

I would appreciate some input on who and how long you think various Players should be punished. I am not worried about how this will effect careers and such down the road. I just think this is an interesting experiment.

Carlos Correa: head injury- out the entire season.

These guys have all been pretty unapologetic but Correa gets the ultimate whammy for running his mouth on top of everything.

Seriously though, I was thinking of editing every Astro hitters contact down a few points because the devs rate players off the past three years. Perhaps the Astros players are actually overrated in the game.

But I feel like I’d be cheating at the game to lower CPU player ratings.

Every current prospect and those drafted give max potential of 75. Knock 10 overall and 20 potential off of all players involved or whomever you want. Edit their prospects the next 2 drafts to have max potential of 75. I did this in a test simulation and by 2021 they were bottom dwellers and on a long term rebuild.

Bullit, Bullit, Bullit... didnt ya'll do enough to damage Houston's fragile psyche in October? those poor feller's are the real victims in the whole affair. haven't they suffered enough in losing the one man in Hinch that tried in vain to stand up to Cora and Beltran and do the right thing? sure, he didn't succeed, but at least he half-heartedly tried.ahh, who am I kidding, torch them bastards.


I'm taking a different approach though. gonna do a Reverse Franchise and play as all 162 Houston's 2020 opponents. I think I can make them this years Detroit Tigers, my aim is to hold them under 60 wins.

I'm in 2020 and just did the draft. I forfeited their first 2 picks.

Let the rest play out. I'm not gonna change any attributes or prospect ratings.

I do think I'll withstand from trading players and letting them get to contract years and walking though.

Re: I want to Punish the Astro's in my Franchise

looking at Astros fan Tony Adams 'bangs chart' list, Marwin , Springer, Beltran, Bregman & Yuli were the recipients of 120-147 bangs. except for Beltran, they should get 80 game suspensions/injured list (IMO). Correa, Marisnick, McCann & Gattis received 45-97 bangs. I assume McCann & Gattis wont be in the Show this year, but the other 2 should get 40 game suspensions/injured list. Altuve, Aoki, Tyler White, Derek Fisher,Reddick, JD Davis, Stassi, Maybin & Centeno, 13-28 bangs, 20 game suspension/injured list. AJ Reed 4 bangs, 10 game suspension/injured list. Tony Kemp, 0 bangs, 0 suspension.

Releasing every single one of their major league talents in addition to their prospects rated above a B.

Let them all experience unrestricted free agency.

Is there an OnlyFans you can subscribe to where you will punish these Astros as well?

Asking for a friend.

The sanctimony is hilarious. Yes clearly the Astros were the worst thing to happen to planet Earth. Let’s ignore everything else.

Before starting franchise, if I decide to do anything, I will swap their MLB position players with the Single A team. The MLB players will also be removed from the 40 man roster. Only will keep 28 players on 40 man. I also will not sign any 2020 draft picks that have an overall or potential above 70.

I'm not an Astros fan. What they did was dirty and they deserve the ridicule. But as a baseball fan they are not the only ones to get caught using an elaborate sign stealing operation. The Red Sox in 17 using Apple watches, and the Yanks too. The Red Sox in 18 are under investigation for using the video room. I'm a Mets fan and I'm pretty certain if the Astros didn't get caught then Beltran would have brought that system to NYC. The Phillies of 08 era were notorious for using cell phones to relay signs seen from the outfield. There were a couple others around that time who also were engaged in that, but the Phillies were the ones caught and MLB sent a fax to all teams to knock it off. The Braves and Cards front offices recently caught doing illegal acts. The whole steroid era. Mike Scott's scuff ball. Doc Gooden and Strawberry coked up while playing. Spitters. Joe Niekro's emery board. The White Sox using the scoreboard to tip pitches. The list is huge and I'd be surprised if there was a team that never did anything. So watching these constant posts/memes/threads pop up here and elsewhere is a bit much. The Astros might deserve it, but their fans don't and they're the ones on here reading this day in and out.
