8 Punishments that the Houston Astros should Receive

It's far, far, far from done.

Enjoy the season. 

These guys have terrible aim. One of them nearly hits the crest of the hill!  

There was the $5M fine (probably more than offset by the postseason playoff games though) and loss of two draft picks in each of the next two years.

Definitely not enough to dissuade someone who wants to win at all costs.

Would this be enough?

"At his trial, Gérard was sentenced to be brutally – even by the standards of that time – killed. The magistrates decreed that the right hand of Gérard should be burned off with a red-hot iron, that his flesh should be torn from his bones with pincers in six different places, that he should be quartered and disemboweled alive, his heart torn from his bosom and flung in his face, and that, finally, his head should be taken off.
Gérard's torture was also very brutal. On the first night of his imprisonment Gérard was hung on a pole and lashed with a whip. After that his wounds were smeared with honey and a goat was brought to lick the honey off his skin with his rough tongue. The goat however refused to touch the body of the sentenced. After this and other tortures he was left to pass the night with his hands and feet bound together, like a ball, so sleep would be difficult. During the following three days, he was repeatedly mocked and hung on a pole with his hands tied behind his back. Then a weight of 300 metric pounds (150 kg) was attached to each of his big toes for half an hour.

After this half hour Gérard was fitted with shoes made of well-oiled, uncured dog skin; the shoes were two fingers shorter than his feet. In this state he was put before a fire. When the shoes warmed up, they contracted, crushing the feet inside them to stumps. When the shoes were removed, his half-broiled skin was torn off. After his feet were damaged, his armpits were branded. After that he was dressed in a shirt soaked in alcohol. Then burning bacon fat was poured over him and sharp nails were stuck between the flesh and the nails of his hands and feet. Gérard is said to have remained calm during his torture. On 14 July 1584, Gérard was executed."

Balthazar Gerard, the assassin on William the Silent, founder of Dutch independence. Think of the assassin of George Washington.

The 40 lashes minus one.

I will explain this esoteric reference. No one will be left out I assure you.

"Five times my own people gave me 39 lashes with a whip," says Paul in his second letter to the Christian church in Corinth. The Law of Moses had determined that 40 lashes was the least number to kill a person. So, 39 lashes is the most a convict can be given who is not under the sentence of death.
