A-Rod Tipping Pitches?
I am as sick of hearing about A-Rod as anyone. He's a juicer and I believe he always has been. But now there is apparently evidence that he tipped pitches to opposing teams in order to get more favorable at bats.
Are you ****ing kidding me???? If this is credible, he should be banned from baseball altogether. If Pete Rose is out, A-Rod should GTFO and stay out. No records, no HoF, NOTHING. ![]() |

Ah shit who cares, teams steal signs, do all kinds of shit from back in the old days.
This isn't anything new. Move along folks. |

Yeah, a player telling the other team what's coming would be pretty unorthodox.

If this is true, it is as bad as what Rose did - ultimately changing the outcome of games. Ban him. |

Can you imagine if you were a borderline good enough pitcher being screwed over. You are drawing a major league salary and benefits and working toward your next contract then your own teammate kills your stats by letting the other team know what is coming. Sick. Just a few years ago I was happy to watch this guy play, thinking that I was seeing one of the best in history. Since then the roid thing has tainted his legacy, and if these new allegations are true he has just nuked his legacy into oblivion. |

Apparently most of the info is going to be in this new book. |

It is truly sad what baseball has become.

I'll pose it as a question, then. Does anyone think A-Rod should/will be banned if this is shown to be for real? Rose was banned for gambling on games in which he wasn't involved. The main reason seems to be the damage his actions did to the integrity of the game. If A-Rod tipped pitches, IMO that's worse and more damaging.

Yes. However, I simply do not believe this is true. Until thoroughly proven otherwise, I'm looking at this as a bunch of hysterical claims made by someone wanting to sell a book.
