Man, it’s the environment.
They ALLLLLLL cheat or cheated and it was just not considered “cheating” in a lot of instances on a lot of different things.
MLB truly bred an “if you’re not cheating you’re not competing” or “if you’re not cheating you’re not trying” type of League.
Just look at the responses before and after the Sticky Ban, by the Olayers and Management alike.
Where does it stop?
Yea, Bosox and Stros Super Cheated.
You could call that working harder, to be honest.
I watched this same type of mentality play out recently at one of my Day Jobs, and it cost my friend his job, and he needed his job.
What happened was, he sold Used Car to a client.
Car had issues.
Client came back complaining.
Friend tells the client he and we can’t and won’t fix the issue.
Client makes a big fuss.
My friend goes in and tells Management the client is irate and wants to speak to a Manager.
Manager tells my friend “I don’t need to talk to them, you know our policy, you tell the customer what that policy is and it’s no longer our problem it’s theirs, and they need to “Get the F off the lot”
(Now backstory here is their(my employers) policy/mentality in Used Cars is that it’s a Used Car and once you buy it, it’s your problem not ours, if it breaks in half 5 minutes after you leave the lot, then you own both halves, we aren’t fixing ****)
My friend goes back to client and though he doesn’t tell them “Get the F off the lot” verbatim, he totally tells them it’s their issue not his, he’s can’t help them, and that he has another customer he’s with and he needs to get back to them, and he walks off.
Client goes on Google/Facebook/DealerRater and blasts the Dealership, gives 3 bad reviews, names names and tells his story.
GM sees the reviews, calls in my Friend, and asks him if what the client claims happened actually happened.
Friend says “yes sir it happened just like Client said”
GM fires my friend.
Same kind of thing with Stros and Bosox and Spider Tack and Roids, etc.
If MLB somewhat allows many levels of cheating and they look the other way, then when player or team A starts cheating and gets a clear advantage and are allowed to do it, other teams have to level up and super cheat too, to gain same competitive balance.
Then all of a sudden those people cheating get punished for it, and they’re like “what the f”
