The most pitches they called out in a game that year is a game was against the Jays in early August, in a 16-7 win. 54 of 175. Two Jays pitchers who got roughed up in that game, have never pitched in the majors since.

When you hear of things like that, you then start to realize it's not a stretch that cheating can have really bad effects, and it's not all about just cheating to win. This likely directly hurt someone's ability to make a living for themselves. It makes you think. I'm not surprised by this as executives in general like to think about results over anything else, so this speaks to that mentality, but it's so wrong when the little guy who likely just started their career gets screwed out of a career and has to start their life again. But hey, Houston won, good for them. Even Dusty Baker isn't going to be able to fix their reputation.
