Check this shit out. Clear evidence.

And you don't think your team steals signs? Every team does.

oof

i wonder how some bookies feel about this

and how many bookies knew about it and started betting it ala the NBA with that crooked ref Tim Donahy

tip of an iceberg indeed

now comes the MLB coverup investigation to limit the damage and save the game (out of the NBA playbook)

I’m sure every team steals signs in one way or another. It isn’t even against the rules. However I do believe that using video equipment is absolutely against the spirit of the game and should be treated differently than a runner on second trying to steal signs from the catcher. I doubt every team is so brazen about it, which doesn’t necessarily make the violation worse, but it is definitely a bad look and comes off as cheating and unsportsmanlike. I’d also need to be convinced that “every team” was using the home team video feed in that same way. I have to guess some were, but I’d be surprised if it even approached “all”.

I have a question . . .

What makes the catcher better equipped to call the next pitch moreso than the pitcher?

Edit,; or does the catcher just need to know where to catch it I guess.

Nevermind

Nothing, but the pitcher is even less likely to be able to signal the catcher what the next pitch is without it being stolen than the catcher is.

Who's on first?

The catcher needs to know where the ball is most likely to end up , is that the thing?

Yes. Different pitches have different velocity and movement. If the catcher doesn’t know what is coming and where to anticipate the location will be, it becomes extremely difficult to even catch the ball.

Exactly.

This is what happens when the catcher doesn’t know what is coming.

Do you know that this is exactly what baseball needs?

Full circle. I called it.

P.s. the last one was a wild pitch

Using video equipment (or any electronics) to assist in stealing signs has been against the rules for nearly 20 years.

Sending him a message now.

**knock knock...knock...knock knock knock**

Re: Fiers...

What were the Astros gonna do, NEVER trade anyone who was on the 2017 team? It’s inevitable that someone on that team would play against the Astros sometime in the near future. You don’t think he’s gonna tell his new team about it?

No way to get away with this.
