Astros using sign stealing devices during WS run

[Tapate50]

If they aren’t dealt the death blow penalty like we were.... I’ll be mad about it but eventually get over it

They better get train-rolled as Atl did.

Brandon Taubman is being waterboarded at some unknown location in Manhattan. Don't think he'll hold out long.

Disgusting and blatantly against the rules. Gonna be pretty awesome to see someone get the hammer

[Carp]

Yeah after the watching the video, it really doesn't get any more obvious.

[drewdat]

OK, but how will Braves fans feel about it?

[bravesfanMatt]

That isn’t proof of anything. Sure it looks obvious. But the league has to investigate. Not just go off twitter video.

Fiers is on record saying they do it I believe.

Ruh roh shaggy.

Looks like Cora may have cheated his way into a managerial gig to go along with the scandal?


Imo this isn’t getting enough press.

If this were the Braves we would have already been forced to forfeit draft picks for the next decade, and ordered to remove Acuña from our team and him placed on the Yanks or BoSox. And forced to listen to Jack Flaherty and Yadier Molina lecture us on how to play the game correctly.

Trash.

To be fair ... if you think this hasn’t been going on everywhere, me thinks you naive...

To be fair, If anyone thinks this is relatable to what Coppy did. Me thinks they are naive too.

How is this not worse ? They had outrageous home and away splits, and won the GD WS this way.

This should be lifetime ban for a lot of people.

This is like someone scuffing a ball or corking a bat. It was gaming the system to win. Copy lied about finances to gain extra players. He tired to cheat not only the league but players as well.

[sc1767]

Man it is a lot worse than corking a bat. This has so many layers, it is organization deep (how could it not be?), and apparently, possibly, involved a World Championship, AND, could have easily been linked to gambling if someone knew.

And for that matter, to speculate, if you did know, how great would the temptation be to try to make a lot of money off of it. Which, if that happened we will likely never know because it could be Black Sox scandal level. Pete Rose would be kid stuff. They would never let us find that out.

This isn’t like gaming the system, it’s explicitly against the rules. “No electronic devices” . This isn’t catching a pitcher tipping pitches.

He was spreading signing bonuses around, and it was said “ this is done by everyone “ as well but it didn’t directly result
In a ring. Also these were Kids that may never play in AA.

This was in the major leagues and led directly to a WS.

For all the Letterkenny fans in the crowd.

[Super]

yeah...you cannot compare this to corking a bat.
