    Black Sox?
    This type of operation sounds like something that starts off small but grows as more staffers/players pick up on it.
    An operations staffer at the park may have moved camera to the perfect angles and placed monitors where the players gather so they would naturally pick up on that you could gleam some intel from casually watching the monitors as you get your thigh massaged.
    The staffer could also make an offhand casual remark that such and such is tipping his pitches.
    Someone is gonna look into it and spread the meme.
    Some random staffer can influence the outcome of a game greatly.
    That's why bookies keep secrets.
    And ledgers... just in case.

    That’s exactly what they did and their front office was absolutely in on it. That camera didn’t get there by accident

    They will be punished, but they won't take the WS from them.

    Co-winners would be nice.

    Hopefully MLB comes down hard on this.

    The fact that the Astros have been cheating the past few years is not surprising in the least. I've been talking about it for a while. In 2018 they were caught red-handed in the ALCS when an Astros employee was taking pictures next to the Red Sox dugout, they frequently look like they know exactly what pitch is coming and have bragged about "pitch tipping" for years, Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman hitting 30+ HRs per year? AJ Hinch getting overly angry in interviews when his team was accused of cheating. The signs were all there.

    I am surprised the players were this involved, because you know that shit is going to get out with how much players move around. But if there was any sliver of doubt that the Astros players weren't all pieces of shit, well, here's your answer. Fuck the Astros.

    Did the sign stealing cause Corey and Cody to swing at the same pitch over and over and over and over and over again?

    Fuck the Dodgers

    I mean, I get what you are saying, but still...

    Game 5 of 2017 WS, Cody and Corey combine for 3 hits, 2 walks, 3 runs scored, and 5 RBIs in a game where we scored 12 runs... and lost.

    Fuck the Astros.

    At most, I think MLB will just fine the team and get rid of some draft picks going into the future.

    I don't even think anyone will be suspended.

    But f*ck them if I'm right.

    Remember that the Cardinals guy went to jail for hacking the Astros system and his defense was that he had done it in retaliation for the Astros doing it to them first. This franchise has warts all over them and a simple slap on the wrist is no longer efficient. MLB needs to come down heavy-handed on them, especially if they stole a world series. Basically a death sentence where the team loses SUBSTANTIAL draft picks for multiple years and FO people/coaches involved being either suspended for a year or fully black-listed upon level of cooperation and players that were involved being suspended. Baseball doesn't have the balls to do it, but the best way to make sure that something like this doesn't happen is to bludgeon the perpetrator so that other teams don't follow suit.

    More players and reporters are starting to come forward with allegations against the Astros. Also, now someone else is saying that the Astros are regarded as the worst abusers of it and that the Brewers and Rangers are also very bad about it. I would not be shocked if there are some Dodgers rumors too as the Rockies have loudly voiced frustrations in regards to what they felt as the team stealing signs.

    Losing 4 guys that were lead execs in the past just makes them a normal run org now and no longer a friggin insane conglomerate of constructicons forming devastator. Maybe it's time to be normal again. The normal teams are the ones that are throwing money @ the elite level talent..the ROX, the Phils, the Pads. Even the Sox, they didn't need a whole wing of lead execs to get Martinez to sign.

    Friedman need only go to Guggs and ask for the key to the vault. It's not like he has to journey middle Earth for a magic ring or some shit. Either they'll fork it over or they'll just continue on in their dealings to push more BS merch for the mindless consumer

    If the Sox want to throw the money needed to keep Mookie they may decide to trade us JD to get under the salary tax.
    They can have the law firm of Taylor, Pollock, Stripling and Barnes.

    SS: Lindor
    3B: Rendon
    DH: Martinez
    2B: Muncy
    LF: Turner
    CF: Bellinger
    1B: Seager
    C : Smith
    RF: Joc

    The more I think about it, AJ Hinch should be banned for life from MLB. This is worse than Pete Rose’s situation, and Hinch lied in an interview denying the cheating like everyone else was crazy. He’s a twat piece of shit.
