If I’m not to busy at work tomorrow I’ll try and look at numbers too. I think the one you talking about is trash McCann.

overall for 2017 the Astros were really a good road team.

For the record I believe they did something. The league still has to find proof they were using some kind of camera. That feed and banging of the trash can had to be super fast. I really want to know how long they actually worked on that. This isn’t something that could be done in a week or two.

Asterisk or not they still gonna have that banner and ring. In a few years everyone is gonna forget and won’t even care.

Thats why they gotta strip yall of alladat. So the 17 Stros are like the 19 Chi Sox

Brewers vs yu darvish since he's been on the cubs

'18 2 starts 2 runs, 5 hits .122 ba/.178 on base %/.220 slug .397 ops 17 k's

'19 2 starts 1 run,8 hits .216 ba/.237 on base %/ .297 slug .534 ops 15 k's

in 4 starts darvish has 32 k's allowed 13 hits and 3 runs they clearly need help vs him

you can keep deflecting these cheating clowns about to get bodied

An Astros front-office executive wrote about the team’s desire to steal signs in an August 2017 email that was obtained by The Athletic. As the club discussed its advance scouting plans ahead of the playoffs, the executive asked the team’s scouts to pursue sign stealing from the stands, and suggested cameras could be used to do so.

“One thing in specific we are looking for is picking up signs coming out of the dugout,” the email’s sender wrote in a message from August of 2017. “What we are looking for is how much we can see, how we would log things, if we need cameras/binoculars, etc. So go to game, see what you can (or can’t) do and report back your findings.”

An exceptionally stupid email to send, but I'm gonna play a little devil's advocate here.

The "signs coming from the dugout" thing makes this different than the pitch calls/banging shyt. One could read this email as asking someone to record/log their other signs from the dugout, like for things like bunts, steals, etc. That wouldn't make this evidence of anything that hasn't been part of the game for a century.
I don't know how often the Astros call pitches from the dugout, and that could change things.

And, obviously, they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

the whole article since you gotta Pay to read it.


I'm gonna read it...and this is off topic...but why this gotta be a "fukk your paywall" thing? It's ENTIRELY POSSIBLE that this story doesn't get broken without The Athletic, who's subscribers pay the reporters. Being mad about paying for good journalism is ignorant.

It talks about a gray area and what if they were gonna use the information a the following day. It also says it’s uncommon to ask scouts to try and steal signs.
Bits it’s the so called camera recording the catcher signs. That’s the only thing missing from all this.
