The Astros have proven they never needed to cheat to be successful

What they've proven to me—and should be to a lot of people—is that they never had to cheat in the first place. Whether or not they would've won in 2017, that remains to be seen... but as far as getting there seven straight [ALCSs], I don't think that they needed to cheat to do that. They were talented all along.

While their talent is undeniable, whether they 'needed' to cheat is a subjective counterfactual.

The Braves are soft and complainers after their playoff exit

This series [we learned] Braves kind of soft, kind of complainers. If you're a Braves fan, you won a World Series a couple years ago, you'd be happy with that. But now you seem pretty soft. This postseason between the complaining about a reporter tweeting out an accurate statement from the clubhouse... gimme a fucking break.

The Braves were indeed criticized nationally for their reaction to the reporting, and they did lose the series, lending credence to the 'soft' narrative for that postseason.

The Diamondbacks are scary and should not be taken lightly

The [Diamondbacks] are scary. The Diamondbacks are scary. They're very scary. I'm not—Zac Gallen is for real. I'm not looking at that team lightly at all.

The Diamondbacks did push the Phillies to 7 games and eventually won the NLCS, proving they were indeed scary.

Russell Wilson has played himself out of a Hall of Fame career

[Russell Wilson] stinks. He turtles so fast in the pocket. He threw for 95 yards. It was never close. I think they might bench Russell Wilson. He's played himself out of a Hall of Fame career as well.

Russell Wilson's Hall of Fame case is still debated, but his stint in Denver is universally regarded as a major stain on his resume. He was eventually benched later that season.

Bryce Harper embodies the city of Philadelphia more than any superstar

I'm so jealous of Philly fans because you got a player that is a superstar potential Hall of Famer someday. And he's such a dirtbag—like Phillies fans. He is one of them. When he signed his deal, he was like 13 years, I don't want any opt-outs, I want to die here. Bury me in Philly. He embodies everything that fan base is all about.

This is a subjective evaluation of player-city chemistry, but widely accepted by baseball fans and media.
