The fact that Mike Trout and Nick Markakis are coming out and saying these things about the #Astros should tell you all you need to know about how players feel. 2 of the quietest guys in ALL of baseball. pic.twitter.com/juKcgrmq3t

Nick Markakis is so right. Baseball is sacred. Cheating should never be tolerated. Cheaters should be banished.
