Pujols gave him the bat, it seemed to be the same specs, so he used it. They realized the next day Pujols was using a grandfathered bat because of a micro change, and something that even happened over a decade ago. I believe that is the whole story. Cue pearl clutching and over reacting, witch hunt to follow shortly.
Just popping in to give y'all some more clutching material.

Well THAT was fun. Tied for homers in a WS game, and set a new record for runs scored with no one in scoring position.
And all of a sudden, the biggest underdogs in the playoffs are 2 wins away. I think the Astros learned what the Padres and Braves found out. Citizen's Bank Park in the playoffs is a totally different animal.
Smolts was thinking that Houston's pitcher was tipping, which would explain that home run derby.
Yeah they weren't guessing. I couldn't pick up on anything but you'd better believe the Phillies did. Harper called Bohm over for one reason. Coy answers in the post-game interview were pretty funny. Postseason baseball subterfuge!
I saw a thread on twitter that showed videos of McCullers' different pitches and his leg position was definitely different on breaking balls
How about that Houston pitching last night! Javier has been very good in his starts in the ALCS and WS.
I hope this series goes the full 7 games. It's been very entertaining.

I just heard on the radio that there's this guy that owns a bunch of furniture stores in Texas and goes by "Mattress Mack". He supposedly bet 10 million on the Astros to win the WS at 7.5 to 1 odds. 75 million if the Astros win. I hope he loses the 10.
It's hard to root against Dusty Baker. I hate the Astros. Agony.
The 'Stros are in the driver's seat now, but I definitely won't count out the Phils. They won't quit.
Also, Jeremy Peña is really good player! I've enjoyed watching him do his thing this postseason.

Kibble, milkbones, and P Basses. And redheads.
Both teams are playing well. The Phil's have been playing over their heads for weeks.
True. Placed the bet at the beginning of the season. He's done much the same the past few years. He uses it as a promotion for his furniture store throughout baseball season; the deal is that you spend $3K or more on a mattress set/bedroom furniture, then if the Astros win it all you get double your money back. This deal was in place all the way up until the playoffs started. Once the playoffs started, he was still running it but you only got your purchase amount back, not double.
He's got 3 locations in the Houston area, been in business about 40 years. Really good dude, does tons of stuff for the community.

Sorry, I don't get this. Hate the Astros if you want, but the dude is entitled to root for his team. Do we hate all Giant fans because of Bonds? Do we still hate all White Sox fans because of 1919?
I hate the Astros because they keep beating the Mariners. And I love Dusty Baker. Dammit! Go Phillies anyway.
