OT: Astros caught cheating to win their title!

[sb1]

So glad the Red Sox beat them last year.

That’s actual cheating not the made-up kind that the Patriots are accused of doing.

This feels like the equivalent of the Rams walkthrough tape being real.

And yet Goodell sits idle!

Just watch, this won't get a fraction of the attention Spygate got...and, unlike the Pats, they used the camera to steal signals in real time.

I've always said: If the Patriots do all this cheating, where are the former coaches and players exposing it? Talking about it?

Of course not...it's...baseball

Not everyone left on good terms either. If it was going on these guys had zero incentive to not spill the beans. That says a lot too.

Of course not. Baseball is so irrelevant that similar to the Cardinals hacking scandal a few years back nobody will give a **** about it.

Does Cora not come from that tree? They have always been a bit shady to me. Does not bother me. Just pointing it out.

All these articles cite the otherworldly success of this team in recent years, and Joe Buck (LoL) pronounced before game 7 that a win would make them baseball’s first dynasty since the 1990s Yankees. There must be a lot of incorrect World Series winner lists on the internet.

There will be extra training available and we will continue adding new members to our team. Q mark Brunel

This is actually much bigger than Spygate. Our beloved incident wasn't real time, it was research from past games to potentially help if the other team hadn't changed signs in the meantime. But it was research on past games. This is "live". Use technology to steal the sign and immediately get the sign to the batter.

(disclaimer - I'm as Astro hater).

With so much technology available to cheat why not just put a mic and speaker
in the catchers helmet and a hearing aid speaker in the pitchers ear ... no more signs.
The NFL has moved on with this issue since the wired helmets were allowed.

There will always be a way to have cameras in the stadium or on spectators.

Just give em both a cellphone and they can text each other the next pitch.

The batter is standing right there . . . if the catcher talked quiet enough it could work I guess.

The pitches would be called from the dugout.
Catcher gets mic if needed.

Walsh's paradox: if the walkthrough tape exists, why haven't we seen it?

No, this is actually worse. Much worse.
