disgusting and disgrace. cannot believe this. championship trophy should be vacated. the involved players should be punished as well. cannot believe they were granted with immunity by the mlb. just unbelievable.
AB Keep tellin your self that buddy .... If its done between the lines its fair game but using scumbag tatics is a big deal. Your team is dirty and so are most of the Astro fans like you.
The fact that he goes back into the tunnel/locker room to put on the championship shirt while his team is on the field celebrating (in addition to him telling his team not to take his shirt off) sealed it for me. I don't think I could be convinced he didn't have one on!!
@GotAL2Say I don't know. You want to run with the hickey story, go for it. I'm not saying I'm right. I have no more proof than you do. It's just my opinion. It will be interesting to see how his batting numbers are over the next year or two. That might be the determining factor.
I would have just said that I didn't want the shirt to break because I was going to auction it and donate the money. If you are going to cheat, at least be smart about it...
SSIIPP Even “I just hit the biggest home run of my career off the reliever of the year to send my team to the World Series, so I want to frame this jersey and not mess it up” would have been fine. He clearly didn’t think ahead to have an excuse, he was stuttering and asking Rosenthal to repeat the question to buy him time.
Actually, looking back at history, Altuve has resisted them taking his shirt off as far back as 2015, research it. As far as the tattoo goes, you can find a picture of him throwing the ball during the 2019 World Series, where you can see a part of it.
It should be '40 For 40' by now. They came up with the name of that documentary series upon ESPN's 30th anniversary (2009). They have now passed 40 years on the air. Time to change the series' name.
I’m a year late to this response but ESPN doesn’t control what sports are popular. Maybe if baseball viewership on TV was not at an all time low and fans actually showed up to games (even before covid almost every orioles and white Sox game had less than 7k people) baseball is falling off regardless of what is happening in ESPN. Also there’s too many games and it’s pretty boring for a majority of the game unless you’re a diehard who knows the little nuances of the sport
@@nedeggert4290 Where are you getting your numbers? The White Sox had 20 thousand fans a game pre-covid and they were terrible at the time. That's 13 thousand more fans than you claim. How could they have "less than 7K every game" if they averaged 20,000? The Dodgers had 40,000 fans a game. That's twice as many people as the largest NBA arena *holds*
@@joni1405 “declining interest in baseball is becoming a problem. With a 8.5% drop in attendance since 2015, and smaller teams like the orioles only being able to boast an attendance a a few thousand a game, you wonder what the issue here is. The answer? Only 12% of the current MLB fans are under the age of 18. Its seemingly not interesting enough for the youth anymore” - Washington Post dude, I meant to say 17k lol, but what I said was true other than that. Miami got 10k people a game and that’s absolutely trash for what used to be the biggest sport in America
@@alex.p2194 there are more loyal baseball fans than there are for other major sports. There are more casual fans for hoops and football than there are casual fans in baseball.
For those wondering, Altuve is saying (based on the lip reading), “La camisa no! La camisa no!” which literally means “The shirt no! The shirt no!” or in other words “Not the shirt! Not the shirt!”
Ignorants!! They live inside their own bubble... soccer is played in every single country in the world.. maybe he was talking about american consumers tho
Jose Eduardo carlos - yeah right, a good pitcher will tell you were he’s going to throw it and tell the type of pitch and will still strike you out. A good hitter won’t care and still hit it, so it makes no difference when a pitcher has 4 different pitches that can go outside the strike zone at anytime and it’s up to the hitter to chase it or not. I’m waiting on LA fans to say Washington cheated too
@@adrianitis3750 yeah ur the dumbest person in the world if u say knowing whats coming isnt gonna help. If uk a curve coming u simply look for it up in the zone u immediately spit on anything low cuz its gonna break for a ball. Fastball all they do is look for location
nLBlaze - no, they got caught with technology, every team tries to steal signs, LA wasn’t good enough to beat them period like the Nats did. Who know if the Yankees would’ve gone to the WS and beat LA or maybe the Rays. At the end of the day Nats showed they wanted it more and Boston should’ve sweep that series, Huston won it in game 7 in LA so LA still had the upper hand and raked Yu off his tipping pitches
that’s completely different and you know it. baseball makes money from people simply paying attention to it because the higher the social media and television stats the sweeter the tv deals. boeing isn’t selling planes to ordinary people they don’t care how many people know about them so scandals are bad for them. airports stop buying planes bc planes crash. people start paying attention to baseball bc there’s a really interesting thing going on in it rn. simple as thay

“I’m embarrassed my wife gave me a hard time last time “ ..lmao so u just hit a homerun in the ALCS game and your wife is more concerned about you not taking your shirt off?? 😂😂 lol Really altuve?

Connor Richardson Are you stupid? No pitcher was sent down for receiving runs from the Astros. Cheaters or not, the Astros have a really good roster and is not like you are pitching against some rookie, you’re pitching against all-stars and really good players
Most baseball fans I know are not going to follow it as much anymore. The Astros and Red Sox won 3/4 World Series, there was NO justice, and MLB has essentially said nothing. MLB looks horrid.
They would not lose fans. They would gain back a lot of the fans who left during the steroid era. Not only should they be stripped of the W.S. title. But all players who won awards should be stripped of those as well.
@Eric Graham I don't know how people compare roids to stealing signs? PEDS enhance your ability to heal and be stronger...you still have to be able to hit the ball. Knowing what pitch is coming next by using a camera in center field and then relaying those signals to the batter so he knows whats coming is a whole nother level. That would be a huge advantage for even the average person let alone a professional hitter. Either you are an idiot or an Astros or Red Sox fan. If I'm up to bat with 3-2 and I know to lay off this next pitch, no amount of PEDS can make up for that. You are effectively playing cards and knowing what the other person is holding.
Why is max bringing soccer into this? Soccer is the fastest growing sport in the USA. Man not only do I keep track of or there teams in different states, I keep track of teams of different leagues in different countries.
@@Nextraker nobody mentioned baseball, you did. I like soccer but you gotta admit watching people pass a ball back and forth for an hour and a half is boring sometimes and there are too many leagues. I usually only watch soccer during the World Cup.
Heres my major issue with soccer. You could put ME in goal with a 2-0 lead at halftime and my team would most likely win. Soccer needs to have smaller fields with less players and scores of 7-6 to get me to watch. I know im in the minority and Im ok with that. But to me its the most boring thing I have ever watched. People run up and down field and no shot on goal for 15 minutes. ZZZZZZZ
@@blackmanwithcomputer thank you. I mean it's not like the commissioner of the same MLB that said they wouldn't investigate the Yankees, grew up a Yankees fan in upstate NY, or that the chief of baseball operations used to manage the roided up Yankees to 4 World series wins.
Only a $5M fine and losing 1st/2nd draft picks in 20/21? USC had their national championship stripped because Reggie Bush received "improper benefits". A fine and losing 4 draft picks is a slap on the wrist.
I mean he’s not wrong. In terms of the integrity of the game, of course it hurts it. But it does give the MLB immense publicity. Think about how much this week alone sports shows have been discussing MLB. Like Kellerman said, during the World Series, MLB isn’t even discussed. It’s either a side discussion or ignored
Pulling the Strings watching a specific 5:00 clip on TH-cam isn’t watching ESPN, and it’s unfortunate that you need someone to help you understand that. Make sure you take aspirin when you get a headache.
"for the first time and forever everyone is going to talk about baseball" Im pretty sure a lot of people were talking about the cubs ending that 108 year drought.
"Any press is good press." That's Kellerman's argument. Gee... thanks for your amazing take on the biggest scandal to rock baseball in 20 years. You really earned your salary today.
*Min **2:34** Are you serious Rob Manfred????* ▪️ _take 5 M from Astros is like taking $50 from me_ ▪️ One year suspensions ▪️ _1st and 2nd Round Picks_ 😱😱WOW that Hurts a Lot😱😱
People have been saying for around 4 years now that they were cheating. The fact it took MLB this long to even look at it makes me sick. Baseball to me is a dead sport. The Dodgers and Yankees got robbed. To me the Dodgers won those championships and the MLB did nothing to the Astros but tell them to keep it under the rug and move on.
When did ripping a players jersey off after a walk off home run become the de facto must do celebration? How many other walk off home runs have been hit that the said ripping of jersey also didn’t happen?
What would be "good for baseball" would be leaving a starting pitcher in the game a little longer instead of the ridiculously predictable strategy of 110 pitches and out he comes...even pitching a no hitter. Not making the game be obsessed with how many pitches the starting pitcher has thrown during each contest, would be certainly be a step in the right direction.
When he said soccer is not a consumer sport I stopped listening for fact that soccer is the most popular sport in the world, just not so much in the USA.
Please someone tell me why the players aren't going to be held responsible or penalized?! What kind of world are we living in? So in other words what you're telling me is that the managers did everything and the hitters had no part? It couldn't be a scandal without hitters hitting?! No accountability! What a joke of a league!
He’s so mad his Yankees lost. Why would the Astros players want to expose the ‘buzzer’. Wouldn’t they know he was wearing it? Makes no sense. It’s just hurt feelings. Altuve should have sued.
I do want to say that the World Series was still more watched than the NBA finals last year, and the only sporting events watched more than the World Series last year were various NFL games
@@opsthelabel2271 I love baseball more than any other sport but the only reason for the World Series is more viewed in the states than the NBA Finals last year is because the U.S ratings were lower since the raptors were playing. Almost every household in Canada was watching the finals this year including those in California.
I’ve watched like 3 baseball games (Cubs World Series) in 10 years. I can’t name 10 current pro baseball players. I watch NFL and NBA news every day, but I’m watching this video about baseball now. Kellerman is 100% right.

Have you ever heard of revenue sharing in baseball? Keep your Burger King job. Its the best you're gonna get with your sense of how business works.
@@nickv4073 3.3%, that's what each team gets from revenue sharing. The total pot is 118 million dollars, do the math and tell me how bad for business it would be, smh
@@johnlovetttxI saw what you copied from and you didn't even read it correctly which is not surprising. $118M was NOT the "total pot" you moron. EACH TEAM RECEIVED $118 MILLION IN 2018. Teams also receive a share of national revenues, which were estimated to be $91 million per team,. Funny how you left that out.

They would not lose fans. They would gain back a lot of the fans who left during the steroid era. Not only should they be stripped of the W.S. title. But all players who won awards should be stripped of those as well.

I hope something happens to the players that were in on this...
@Eric Graham I don't know how people compare roids to stealing signs? PEDS enhance your ability to heal and be stronger...you still have to be able to hit the ball. Knowing what pitch is coming next by using a camera in center field and then relaying those signals to the batter so he knows whats coming is a whole nother level. That would be a huge advantage for even the average person let alone a professional hitter. Either you are an idiot or an Astros or Red Sox fan. If I'm up to bat with 3-2 and I know to lay off this next pitch, no amount of PEDS can make up for that. You are effectively playing cards and knowing what the other person is holding.
@Eric Graham cubs
Why is max bringing soccer into this? Soccer is the fastest growing sport in the USA. Man not only do I keep track of or there teams in different states, I keep track of teams of different leagues in different countries.
And I dont understand so boring to watch
george slupski yes baseball is, I agree
@@Nextraker nobody mentioned baseball, you did. I like soccer but you gotta admit watching people pass a ball back and forth for an hour and a half is boring sometimes and there are too many leagues. I usually only watch soccer during the World Cup.
Heres my major issue with soccer. You could put ME in goal with a 2-0 lead at halftime and my team would most likely win. Soccer needs to have smaller fields with less players and scores of 7-6 to get me to watch. I know im in the minority and Im ok with that. But to me its the most boring thing I have ever watched. People run up and down field and no shot on goal for 15 minutes. ZZZZZZZ
It’s only the fastest growing sport because all of the other ones are already huge, soccer is still the least liked of all the major sports by far
Altuve was definitely wearing some sort of technological device. Makes no sense to leave the field that quick just to put on a shirt
He was just shy and had to call his wife. 🙃
You know you're an unlikable team when everyone is upset that you beat the Yankees.
It's more that Yankee fans are the loudest and are faces in the media.
@@blackmanwithcomputer Now because I know mets fans who say that we got cheated
We got robbed dammit. Both by the red sox and astros. Not a good feeling man.
reg83ny not at all. Especially not that 17year. That was our year. And I knew there was no way we should have lost like that to the Sox in 18.
@@blackmanwithcomputer thank you. I mean it's not like the commissioner of the same MLB that said they wouldn't investigate the Yankees, grew up a Yankees fan in upstate NY, or that the chief of baseball operations used to manage the roided up Yankees to 4 World series wins.
Only a $5M fine and losing 1st/2nd draft picks in 20/21? USC had their national championship stripped because Reggie Bush received "improper benefits". A fine and losing 4 draft picks is a slap on the wrist.
Max Kellerman thinking this scandal "is good for baseball" is one of the all time dumbest statements on ESPN.
Exactly. You're completely correct.
I mean he’s not wrong. In terms of the integrity of the game, of course it hurts it. But it does give the MLB immense publicity. Think about how much this week alone sports shows have been discussing MLB. Like Kellerman said, during the World Series, MLB isn’t even discussed. It’s either a side discussion or ignored
He's a Yankees fan. Of course this great for him.
@@owtkvst the idea that all publicity is good publicity is a fallacy. This is not good publicity.
Contra Mundum 2.0 [Paradigm Shift] how is it a fallacy ?
Max:"I think it's good for baseball..." nuff said, I'm out!
It is. And so was the steroid era
I think he was trying to say this has gotten baseball back in the national spotlight. We're in the "all news is good news" era I guess...
He is 100% right
@@daveb2280 Lay off the dramatics old man. He made valid points.
Max basically called me out lmao I’ve never watched a baseball game but for some reason paying attention to this
Why is everyone always screaming on ESPN now? Reasons I walked away years ago...
Pulling the Strings watching a specific 5:00 clip on TH-cam isn’t watching ESPN, and it’s unfortunate that you need someone to help you understand that.
Make sure you take aspirin when you get a headache.
spdodger WHYYYYYY ARE YOU STILL HEREEEEE LEAVEEEEEEEEEE WILL MY SCREAMING MAKE YOU WALK AWAY ANY FASTER?
"for the first time and forever everyone is going to talk about baseball"
Im pretty sure a lot of people were talking about the cubs ending that 108 year drought.
Stephen "We get all of that" A Smith
Typical internet sheep
"Any press is good press." That's Kellerman's argument. Gee... thanks for your amazing take on the biggest scandal to rock baseball in 20 years. You really earned your salary today.
*Min **2:34** Are you serious Rob Manfred????*
▪️ _take 5 M from Astros is like taking $50 from me_
▪️ One year suspensions
▪️ _1st and 2nd Round Picks_
😱😱WOW that Hurts a Lot😱😱
Max with the facts I believe but they gotta punish the players
Please permanently replace Molly with this moderator 🙏🏾
People have been saying for around 4 years now that they were cheating. The fact it took MLB this long to even look at it makes me sick. Baseball to me is a dead sport. The Dodgers and Yankees got robbed. To me the Dodgers won those championships and the MLB did nothing to the Astros but tell them to keep it under the rug and move on.
is the makeup department trying to make Max look like he's ready for burial?
Bruce Smith yeh
He should be cause all of his nonsensical takes are beaten to death
Don't jinx him. I lik max.
max is the kinda guy that will snitch on his crew if the analytics told him to.
When did ripping a players jersey off after a walk off home run become the de facto must do celebration? How many other walk off home runs have been hit that the said ripping of jersey also didn’t happen?
Jose Altuve uses buzzer to steal signs, a breakdown
GET ALL THE WAY OUTTA HERE 🤣🤣🤣🙅🏿♀️🤦🏿♂️
What would be "good for baseball" would be leaving a starting pitcher in the game a little longer instead of the ridiculously predictable strategy of 110 pitches and out he comes...even pitching a no hitter. Not making the game be obsessed with how many pitches the starting pitcher has thrown during each contest, would be certainly be a step in the right direction.
Tony he’s wearing a wire .tony says take him to the back room and take care of him
Max is right, it's been nice just to hear baseball on ESPN again
Cheating like that is disgusting. They need to be stripped of the WS title.
Soccer and Hockey: Am I a joke to you??
Altuve has to go. I won't watch until he's gone.
Most HR commrnt ever
Good bye
Goodbye then. Im a Yankees fan but that won't happen
Human Resources good riddance!

The only thing that will kill baseball is a bad moderator. In this case, the commissioner is killing baseball.
When he said soccer is not a consumer sport I stopped listening for fact that soccer is the most popular sport in the world, just not so much in the USA.
First Take is a U.S. show.
Strongly agree.
Everyone knows americans have short attention spans........😄
Well what can we expect, dumb wannabe rappers and basketball players aren’t going to be well rounded in their sports knowleges🤪
Hey, Charly.
Boy, baseball has been interesting this week.
"Go sports" -Becky Lynch
Please someone tell me why the players aren't going to be held responsible or penalized?! What kind of world are we living in? So in other words what you're telling me is that the managers did everything and the hitters had no part? It couldn't be a scandal without hitters hitting?! No accountability! What a joke of a league!
Someone put molly on permanent load management!
Bryant Marquez thank god
How many times will Altuve get beaned this season? 🤔🤔🤔
The Astros have hard throwers too....maybe not a sound strategy.
BRO I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!
I'm not sure, it's hard to hit such a small target. 😂
Everytime hopefully
3:15 is where the video starts
He’s so mad his Yankees lost. Why would the Astros players want to expose the ‘buzzer’. Wouldn’t they know he was wearing it? Makes no sense. It’s just hurt feelings. Altuve should have sued.
A clip of Max talking and Stephen A barely saying anything for once...IM WITH IT!
"soccer is an inferior consumer product."
Slippschitts Hey it’s one of the most loved sports INTERNATIONALLY, get tf out of here
Matias Magliocchini 3rd would countries.
You can see the buzzer in his jersey at 3:33
I do want to say that the World Series was still more watched than the NBA finals last year, and the only sporting events watched more than the World Series last year were various NFL games
Boyder6 that’s because lebron wasn’t in the finals , and no I’m not a lebron fan but that’s just facts
NBA stars have a lot more advertising and so does the nba plus nba is international
@@opsthelabel2271 also the ratings from Canada wasn't taken in to account even though the Raptors won it all
@@opsthelabel2271 I love baseball more than any other sport but the only reason for the World Series is more viewed in the states than the NBA Finals last year is because the U.S ratings were lower since the raptors were playing. Almost every household in Canada was watching the finals this year including those in California.
That’s a lie. The NBA finals avg ratings were 14.8 while the World Series was 13.9
Max, my guy, I always try to get behind but you're wrong on this one
I mean. Football and basketball is more popular.......
Max’s face on the thumbnail 😂😂. And he did the outro he had to try not to yell lmfao.
Mlb should come hard on Altuve and other key players for the integrity of the game perhaps ban them for life..
ray lawless The MLB already did the investigation and found nothing about the buzzard telling the players the pitches so can y’all yanks just stfu
ray lawless lol go cry about it
Thanks for reminding my I don't watch ESPN anymore.
We don’t talk about baseball anymore? When hockey gets covered on ESPN, it’s a mini Christmas gift.
I actually agree with Max. Wth
So his teammates didn’t know ? Or why would they want to take his shirt off.
Not sure it would only make sense if they had a ritual of taking a guy's jersey after a walk off hit.
Suicide_King during the regular season altuve did hit some walks offs and when those happened they did strip him down in the field
Jus to remind em""DUH""
I’ve watched like 3 baseball games (Cubs World Series) in 10 years. I can’t name 10 current pro baseball players. I watch NFL and NBA news every day, but I’m watching this video about baseball now. Kellerman is 100% right.

If it wasn't for fantasy leagues and gambling most sports wouldn't be as popular as they are today , at least as far as watching goes .
Dude, you absolutely nailed it.
"Do you expect me to believe that nonsense?" Well I mean nobody questioned it until months after the fact when many other revelations came to light...
I saw it live. Thought it was an odd thing to say at the time. I just thought it had to do with religion.
I thought it was strange at the time and it got my attention but I still never would have guessed.
Because there was no reason to suspect him of anything.
The entire Astros organization needs to be banned from mlb for at least 2 years
You're not a business man are you. You should have stayed in school.
@@nickv4073 if you think the owner didnt know what was going on with his own team in his own home you're gullible
@@johnlovetttx "The owner"? He has no say in what the penalties are. Do you realize how much all the other teams would suffer financially if MLB did what you suggest? Have you ever heard of revenue sharing in baseball? Keep your Burger King job. Its the best you're gonna get with your sense of how business works.
@@nickv4073 3.3%, that's what each team gets from revenue sharing. The total pot is 118 million dollars, do the math and tell me how bad for business it would be, smh
@@johnlovetttxI saw what you copied from and you didn't even read it correctly which is not surprising. $118M was NOT the "total pot" you moron. EACH TEAM RECEIVED $118 MILLION IN 2018. Teams also receive a share of national revenues, which were estimated to be $91 million per team,. Funny how you left that out. Also funny how you left out the fact that higher-earning clubs pay in more than they get back; lower-earning clubs receive more than they pay in. Get it now? Your BK break is over. Get back to flippin those burgers before your boss scolds you again and puts you back on french fry duty.
Keeping it real. You guys don't talk about baseball. We talk about everywhere. Max is wrong for some reason ESPN doesn't talk about baseball. There is alot of things going on in baseball. Alot of great players on all teams. Records being broken all thr time. ESPN does not cover it, that doesn't mean people don't talk about it. Baseball was awesome this year. Back to back cy young in NY and you guys didnt say a peep!!!! We care, we love and we watch baseball!!! COVER IT!!!!!
