All in all, the doc is fine but nothing groundbreaking. No new info, no controversial statements, nothing too hard hitting. Just a cursory glance at what took place with a surface level view. It was obviously made for people who do not follow the sport, really at all.

They know the Beltway material. As JimR wrote above, this is their postseason baseball offering. It did give Reiter a Michael Moore-styled promotional moment
Yeah, I was expecting a more traditional in-depth production by the Frontline crew, not The Ben Reiter Show

The edges of all the flags on the World Series trophy of the 2017 World Series Champion Houston Astros are really sharp. Be careful! You donât wanna hurt yourself.
Thatâs just a hunk of metal.
Iâve only watched the first 30 minutes or so, but Benny Boy definitely leads with the shit-stirrers. Jose De Jesus Ortiz, some scrub Blue Jays pitcher the Astros torched, the pitching coach they fired for blatant insubordinationâŚ
So far, Iâm not getting the feeling the Astros will get a fair shake.
There is a ton of people that follow MLB to a fair degree that donât know a damn thing except that Houston is reprobate cheaters. They donât read boards like this, they donât have a clue that there was any team sign stealing that didnât involve Houston, they donât understand that it is ok to steal signs but not electronically. Alot of them probably believe Houston is still âcheatingâ because they are still winning.

Those people can eat a bag of dicks. I hope they vomit in their dreams knowing the Astros are World Series Champions.

Just for clarity, are you saying you hope they have a dream about vomiting over knowing the Astros are World Series Champions or they actually vomit in their sleep while dreaming about the Astros being WSC? I prefer the second example.
I hope they wake up covered in their own puke.

One of my wifeâs friends, a casual fan, told me it was quite a while before she learned the Astros had not stolen physical signs of some kind. But she knew that whatever they had done, they were accused of being cheaters. I think thatâs the level of knowledge a lot of folks are operating on.

They kept stealing opposing playersâ DVDs of M Night Shamylanâs âSignsâ.

It was pretty funny, she was like âI knew my mental picture of whatever was happening made no sense, I just couldnât think of a better interpretationâ and⌠thatâs fair if you donât know much about baseball. I get a kick out of the idea of Bregman and Marwin or whoever putting on ski masks and yanking signs off the wall in the opposing teamâs clubhouse in the dead of night.

There was a sign that said âlong-haired freaky people need not applyâ. But itâs now missing.

Must not have been there in the Colby Rasmus years.

They moved it to a room where you have to have a membership card to get inside to see it.
Iâll put my hair under my hat to ask why.
You look like a fine, upstanding young man; youâll do.
