Lol at people thinking that it's not a game-changing advantage to know what pitches are coming. Especially at the highest level where one play often determines who wins or loses.

.

Every ****ing team steals signs, from little league on up.

But your team got caught.

If you can't do the time don't commit the crime.

Don't really see why Astros fans would be mad, manager and GM gone is whatever and isn't their farm still loaded enough to withstand the loss of picks?

Astros were so good their 1st and 2nd round picks would have been at the bottom of the round, but 2 years of no top picks stings. Don't care about AJ, Luhnow was decent at drafting, he ****ed up big with the Brady Aiken thing though. He ****ed up not getting Realmuto too.

I still don't understand how everyone here is clamoring for robot umps, but using a technology developed 90 years ago to steal signs, should result in people being shot in public squares.

So you would be fine with every hitter knowing what pitch is coming in every game?

Lifetime ban would be pretty epic. How many of those have there even been?

Following some research, it appears quite a few, but many were reinstated, and the recent ones appear to be primarily for PEDs

Go ahead MLB do it

Teams steal signs! Hitters on every team know what is coming most of the time. The Astros just had the answers more often because it is 2017 and they had a guy banging on a ****ing trash can.

AJ hinch must have had a sound -> brain -> eyes reaction over 1000 times. imagine letting the titanic sink 1000 times with no remorse, that's the type of fan you are.

A runner on 2nd relays the pitches 100% of the time. Is that cheating?

kind of like stealing second base.

Ffs it's not about "stealing signs", it's about using illegal technology to see signs that no player on the field or in the dugout could otherwise see. It's against the rules, end of story, and they got caught red-handed.

I have to lose some NFL playoff bets first, and hopefully get some losing SB squares in too.

Hey guys,

Let’s take it easy on txdome. It’s not like he was the one doing the cheating. He just condones, accepts it, while downplaying it over and over ad nauseum itt when no one cares what he actually says anymore.

Happy Posting!
