Braves: Nick Markakis Says Astros Players "Deserve Beating," Commissioner "Should be Embarrassed"

Atlanta Braves veteran, Nick Markakis, shared his thoughts on the Astros' sign-stealing scandal and the commissioner's decisions on the matter Tuesday.

In a no-holds-barred media session, Markakis said it's "damaging to baseball" and that "every single guy over there needs a beating."

He didn't elaborate as to whether or not he meant a beating with fists or a barrage of beanballs. It could have been metaphorical like he wishes their parents would have beaten them in the past, or will potentially beat them as a result of their cheating, despite the fact they are currently grown men.
