OT: Astros Sign Stealing

[tykurez]

There’s stealing signs and then there’s this. As a Yankees fan, makes 2017 even more frustrating. Also amazing that the Nationals won 4 in Houston.

Didn't they hack the Nationals computers a few years ago?

 

[HooperScooper]

Not surprised at all.

Report on Astros front office culture: 'Toxic. Eats you alive.'

A look inside the Astros front office in a week where its toxicity has been thrust to the fore

I think it was actually the Cardinals hacking the Astros' computers.

We now know extent of Cardinals hack and the unprecedented penalties from MLB

The Cardinals will forfeit two draft picks to Houston and pay the Astros $2 million

The Yankees, the Red Sox, the Mariners, the Tigers, etc ALL teams cheat in one fashion or another

Prove it

George called it.

Prove it

I don't have proof but you'd have to be naive to believe otherwise. Where millions of dollars are at stake corruption is never far behind

Not sure what this means? Not true at all and certainly not on the same electronic level as the Astros.

Obviously true when you watch every team using signs like there's a runner on second base all the time. They know the Astros are trying to steal signs.

Didn't seem to bother the Red Sox (3-0 in Houston in '18 ALCS). Of course, Cora was the Houston bench coach in '17 and had a cameraman removed during Houston's only win of the series in Boston.

I suspect this is not a popular opinion but I don't care in the slightest. Every team is doing something like this and if they aren't they're only hurting themselves

 

[billythekid]

I don't care too much as it's not like they can go back in time and give the Yankees those wins. That said, AJ Hinch was such a jerk in his denials that I am sort of happy to see them put through the grinder.
