Re: MLB Thread
Dudes have been stealing signs for years.
Not their fault they leveraged technology and creative ways to do it now a days.
They are saying Cora’s will be harsher.

Re: MLB Thread
this is a kin to thinking 80 game suspensions are going to deter guys from using PEDs.
Re: MLB Thread
There is a huge difference in players on the field stealing signs, that is part of the game but to use technology and hide cameras and shit like that to steal signs is waaaaaaay different. Not saying they are the only ones but they got caught and should get hammered.

maybe there is finances involved too like a fine, but if not this does very little IMOwdoupis wrote:There is a huge difference in players on the field stealing signs, that is part of the game but to use technology and hide cameras and shit like that to steal signs is waaaaaaay different.

Re: MLB Thread
Just noticed this as well:
As part of the league's penalty, the Astros will also lose first- and second-round draft picks in 2020 and 2021, and the organization was fined a record $5 million.
Re: MLB Thread
Any title or wins vacated?
Re: MLB Thread
If they don’t make the owner sell the team and fire every organization member within, it means nothing. In 1 year both these guys will have jobs and the cheaters are still well within the company. Dumb.
Don’t take their late 1st away!!! Whatever will an analytically excellent team do to recover???

Pete Rose chides Astros over sign-stealing scandal: 'I can't imagine doing something like that'
Re: MLB Thread
Sign stealing on field is baseball. What they did sucks.
Don’t know about Coug or AJ who both coached HS ball, but our kids looked for weak catchers or coaches signaling in pitches. So did our oppts. We worked with our catchers and how we called pitches from dugout all the time.

Re: MLB Thread
There's an MLB exec that said he would trade spots with Astros for World Series 'every day of the week'. Lol, so the punishment isn't good enough, and people are publicly stating in round about ways that they condone the cheating to justify the win. LMAO, where are we at in this day and age?

Re: MLB Thread
Reading signs from the bases, that's one thing. But actually using video and ipads and whatever else is different.BFiVL wrote:Sign stealing on field is baseball. What they did sucks.

Re: MLB Thread
instead of a 5 million dollar fine, how about $250 mill.
5 million and a couple draft picks is more or less meaningless IMO
like i mentioned with the PEDs....stop with the 80 game bans followed up with 2 year 19 million dollar contracts
on the other hand....its entertainment. I couldn't care less if they are all roided out of their mind and are simultaneously stealing signs via satellite
on the 3rd hand, their behaviors trickle down to youth....
