Sounds like a hater, it's 2019.

Read a big article in The Athleic dealing with this. Maybe they were. But, how do you explain the outstanding road record over the last 3 years?

@eighteen :

Mile Fiers is a hater. But, Ken Roenthal is maybe the best baseball writer alive today. He would not pen this article on one source. Still, we had a great home record this year but not so much in 2017

@Clydepuckett : Also, how do you explain the Cards scoring 10 runs in the 1st inning of game 5 of the NLDS?

@Clydepuckett : I'm definitely talking about the person crying about our sole Championship, not the writer. It would make more sense if we had home field advantage, but we didn't and won on the road.

But then again listen to Carlos Beltran and hearing him say it's not true.

We had a better average on the road than at home for the entire 2017 season.

Yup. That's my point.

@Clydepuckett : the record argument is moot. I have no issue with stealing signs, it's part of the game in my mind. Still gotta hit the ball even if you know the pitch. But do it with your own eyes. Use of cameras is a big no no not only morally but by MLB rules. On the road they allegedly had people dotted around the stadium. One employee was kicked out of a few stadiums for flashing his phone screen off.and on to the Dugout from a photographers pit.

I actually look for them to be in big trouble by Feb-Mar.

As a hardcore Dodgers fan that is still not yet over the 2017 WS loss.... SPEAK THE TRUTH, FIERS - DON'T LET THEM QUIET YOU!!!! 😂😂

This is the same dude that no-hit my Dodgers in 2015 at Minute Maid. Which happened to be my oldest son's first ever MLB game.... So forget what I said - SHUT AND GO HOME YOU BUM!!!! 😂😂

@ParksideRes : Tipping pitches isn't illegal, apparently. Nationals did it with us. Media camera caught them in the dugout looking at photos of our pitchers. No one is calling them cheaters. Had to use some type of camera if they had laminated looking photos.

And I'm still trying g to figure out how the Cardinals scored 10 runs in the first inning of the NLDS.
