No One Here Believes The Astros Are Getting Death Threats...

And that’s the problem when you lie and cheat and get caught. You’re reputation is questioned… you live in a world of doubt. You are not trustworthy. In short… no one believes you. We don’t believe the Astros who are clearly scrambling for sympathy.

Both Carlos Correa and Josh Reddick have come forward to state that they have received death threats, another story put out in the midst of the chaos that is the #AstrosCheatingScandal, created by them… now covered-up by Rob Manfred and Jim Crane, and protected by Tony Clark.

Reality would tell you that death threats are serious, but here’s the thing; the Astros players, clearly feeling pressure and clearly with their backs against the wall are playing victim. But they aren’t the victim, they are the enemy in this entire scandal. They took integrity from the game, and sadly, they are trying to find public support for something that I believe NEVER HAPPENED… death threats.

“Josh Reddick said he and his teammates are even getting death threats on social media. Reddick said his wife Jett has also been threatened. One Instagram commenter even said he hopes the couple’s twin sons, 4-month-old Ryder and Maverick, get cancer, according to ESPN’s Jeff Passan.”

And the Houston Chronicle writes this:

Carlos Correa: “When you open social media these days, it’s the norm. You don’t see positive comments anymore. You just see ‘If you come to New York, you better watch out. Your wife better watch out.’ They start talking about raping, killing.” – https://t.co/rq1ErHchDA

Notice they are Houston publications which means one thing… it was planted, it was editorialized on purpose. It written for sympathy. Don’t buy it. My opinion of course… but I’m pretty good with judgement of character and the Astros character? It’s out the window.

You want to know about death threats? Talk to Rachel Robinson who experienced it on the daily when husband Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in a world where black men were not accepted in the major leagues.

That’s real problems. That guy just wanted to play the game he loved, but wasn’t accepted.

The Astros? They cheated, got caught and now are crying about it because social media is having a field day with these losers. They’re not receiving death threats… they’re just being mocked and ripped apart verbally and on the daily.  They need tougher skin… especially because the consequences of their cheating scandal is now too big for them to handle.

Own it losers.
