Article: sports.yahoo.com/sources-red-sox-warned-indians-astros-attempting-steal-signs-information-032027336.htmlApparently there was a guy taking pictures of the Indians dugout in the ALDS who should not have been there, possibly working for the Astros in an attempt to steal signs. Red Sox were warned of the situation and the same man was caught doing the same during game 1. The A's accused the Astro's of sign stealing earlier in the season and of course last year during the World Series the Dodgers made the same accusations. What does everybody think about this? In my mind if a team is able to figure out the other teams signs via play on the field that's fair game. However you shouldn't be able to get footage into another teams dugout to review. |

SpyGate!!! The Astros are clear cheaters and it's only fair to assume they always have been. Last year's championship should come with an asterisk.

Every team in the league tries to steal signals. What else is new?

People are saying the spin rates are way, way too much for a pitcher to get without gooping a ball. League wide. They use sunscreen and don't glop it on them like Michael Pineda. And, at this time, it's nearly impossible to detect because sunscreen can get on a baseball naturally (unlike vaseline). And they use it to get a tighter curve, instead of the supernatural backspin that Gaylord Perry achieved,. |

And they use it to get a tighter curve, instead of the supernatural backspin that Gaylord Perry achieved,. Some have said that this is the reason strikeouts are up. Hitters cannot hit this filthy stuff. The new manufacturing process for the baseball have made new ones really slick, so umpires got more lenient of pitchers roughing them up. And it too easy to slip some sunscreen onto the ball. And they say baseball might not do anything about it until someone gets col cocked by a doctored ball or if pitchers start throwing flutter balls like Gaylord. |

There is definitely something going on with Alex Bregman and sign stealing. Everytime he is on base, the Sox are constantly having mound visits and changing signs.
The guy just looks like a cheating punk, doesn't he?

"A thorough investigation concluded that an Astros employee was monitoring the field to ensure that the opposing Club was not violating any rules," MLB said in a statement Wednesday."
This is supposed to be believable? He was just trying to make sure the OTHER team wasn't cheating?

This is supposed to be believable? He was just trying to make sure the OTHER team wasn't cheating? Yeah the excuse I was hearing yesterday was that he was "making sure they weren't using monitors". It wouldn't surprise me if MLB is shoving this under the rug in the middle of the playoffs only to then revisit it after the World Series. I did see a headline saying "Rival MLB Exec says the Astros are the Patriots of MLB" and that gave me a good laugh. |

That most people don't think of the Patriots as great champions but only as great cheaters. SpyGate and DeflateGate have tainted their Super Bowl wins and destroyed their legacy. History will forever associate Belicheat, Shady Brady, and the Patriots with cheating the same way that history has associated Shoeless Joe Jackson with the Black Sox Scandal. |
