“The Astros Edge” focuses on the team’s 2017 cheating scandal, but stealing signs is woven throughout baseball’s history. READ: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/sign-stealing-baseball-history/
33:20 I’m assuming “God” was the name they gave to their video room?
whos vocal frye is more annoying the broad SI reporter or the astro fan tony adams?🤣
They won 4 in LA 😂🤡
Cheater cheater cheater
7:25 l.o.l. Like stealing a World Series from the then growing into & now dynasty Dodgers.
I'm not making excuses for the Astros cheating BUT if you're a baseball fan a real baseball fan than you know that sign stealing has been a part of baseball since it's inception & if you think the Astros were the only team that was doing it than you are truly naive were they stupid enough to get caught yes were they dumb enough to make it obvious how they were doing it absolutely are they the only team in baseball that steals signs hardly & if you believe that it still doesn't happen than you are a fool.
The white Sox players were banned for life for throwing a World Series but the Astros get no punishment for cheating and winning a World Series. Not right.

Yeah for suuuuuuuure, impermissible technology was only used by the Astros, and no other teams named the Yankees or Red Sox. The Yankees definitely weren’t the recipient of a letter from ol Robby Manfred confirming their multi-season, sign stealing cheating scheme involving the use of dugout phones and a relay system from their video replay review room (gasp technology!!!). 😂
Win or Lose… 52 years bring a Houstonian- ALWAYS a fan! 💯 Will forever love this guy for changing the history of our team! ❤
The “incident” overshadowing the World Series and then being fired is absolutely insane… seeing these local sports writers go from blue collar to woke wannabe intellectuals is unbearable… btw Red Sox fan and not a fan of Houston at all
That dude getting fired over vocally supporting their player in their own locker room after a big win .. is absolutely insane.
Behind the thousand dollar suits, fancy MBA's, algorithms, and corporate jargon … they were just cheaters.
Not one of these dishonest and incompetent twerp admits they were full of sh*t the whole time. Ego and stupidity are poor roommates.
And just how 'legit' are the 'Topedo' bats?
"I now regret grant Immunity." Too little, too late. Message already received!
Cheaters forever in my eyes…
6:20 BULL** !!!! You're telling me walking through your team's clubhouse every game you don't see the monitors set up, You're telling me they install a camera dead center field without your knowledge, you're telling me there's direct feed from a camera to your clubhouse that doesn't go anywhere else without your knowledge, You're telling me not once did you question your team's wind differential at home versus away. Bull**
Spy gate. Spy gate 2.0. Never forget pats cheated 3 rings
This is why
Dodgers are great
Idk why ppl acting like sign stealing hasn't been a thing in baseball since forever
"Meteoric rise". Meteors do NOT rise. They fall.
Pete Rose gets a lifetime ban for betting on games, but these clowns got to keep a world series. Unreal.
It’s all about the money. They don’t care about the game.
Kinda confused about the camera. Did they install their own cameras in the outfield , or was it the regular broadcast they were watching to steal signs ?
sabremetrcis….GO DODGERS!!!!…..
PBS you should know better than this. How we forget what the Yanks did what about Boston what other teams. No one cheated the Astros were a dominating team. 8 AL west champs, 10 straight playoff appearances, 4 AL championships, 2 World Series. Yea that doesnt seem like a team that cheats…. It seems like they were the best team in the MLB.
Life long Astros fan. Wish they wouldn’t have done it. But they were the martyr MLB needed. Yankees and Red Sox did it first and for who knows how long. But they are the prized franchises so they couldn’t take the fall. Also, post scandal Astros still winning so… enjoy that rest of MLB.
Glad the Dodgers have won the World Series twice since being cheated since 2017. Glad they’re doing what it takes to compete for the long-term. Hope they punish the Astros on the field.
The Astros should be stripped of their World Series titles, their MLB franchise should be permanently dismantled, and any players from their cheating days should be permanently banned from baseball. PERIOD. This kind of behavior cannot be allowed to occur in a sport called "America's pastime."
Lost me when went WOKE with discredited me too movement which had nothing to do with cheating
As soon as Luhnow went straight to mentioning Brady…….he just admitted his guilt.
42 min and this is getting gea…
Pretty much they are the New England Patriots of baseball. 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
Yeah sign stealing, thank god we got Osuna and Gurriel's racist crap from the dugout
yeah no toxic culture there Luhnow
they’ll always be the trashtros to me now
The Kings of the American League West? 😂 The CHEATERS of Major League Baseball is more appropriate. Forever a joke! “Trash” nothing but trash.
This is why the Yankees had their own tv channel lol
Sorry Luhnow….The Astros will NOT go down as a dynasty, but as a group of win at all costs cheaters…period.
The names of JR Richard, Enos Cabell, Jeff Bagwell, Bob Watson, etc must be disgusted and ashamed for the cheating….gave a dark cloud over the name Astros.
I would have liked for this documentary to discuss the 2017 World Series,
Specifically, Kershaw’s game 1 dominance in LA. Compared to the crazy, high scoring Game 5 in HOU. Of the 54 breaking balls kershaw threw, not one Astro swung at it. Kershaw dominated the Astros in game 1. Then in Game 5, not one swing n miss? That doesn’t add up. And like Bolsinger, whose career ended that fateful night, 54 bangs?!? Kershaws HOF legacy took a hit, at the expense of grown men who made a choice to cheat the game and all those who cleared the path for them to play this great game of baseball…. Tragic
Strip the 2017 championship
How embarrassing to be an Astros fan, I would switch over to the Texas Rangers
Astro’s are not even close to being a dynasty.
17 world series void. La won trophy. Trash crimes in world series.. Scam artist team Huston and Boston
