Stealing signs are the only way you blow someone out unless you're just that much better. We blew out the Dodgers once. All the ALCS and ALDS games that year were close.

I've read a lot of stupid takes on this forum and the old FF forum, but this one gives a serious run for the crown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry the Red Sox didn't cheat buddy, I know it probably crushes you. Cora was the Astros scape goat, that is very clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ok. even if they didn’t cheat they weren’t able to keep their cornerstone top 5 player so that will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MLB did a crazy long investigation. They found nothing even close to the Astros scenario. Sorry you guys wanted this to be real, but it ain't.

MookieMonstah Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Quote Essentially, the report found that replay room operator J.T. Watkins, whose job was to study opposing team’s signs before and after games, would occasionally update his findings by watching live video in the replay room. He would then occasionally relay his findings to a player, and if the Red Sox got a runner to second base, the newfound information could be put to use by signaling to the batter. Quote In fact, whereas Manfred ripped the Astros’ “very problematic” baseball operations culture, he went out of his way to credit the Red Sox for complying with the investigation and making sure players and coaches understood the sign-stealing rules. From the report: “I find that the Red Sox front office consistently communicated MLB’s sign-stealing rules to non-player staff and made commendable efforts toward instilling a culture of compliance in their organization.” Quote In the Red Sox report, Watkins is the main character. Manfred wrote: “I do not find that then-manager Alex Cora, the Red Sox coaching staff, the Red Sox front office, or most of the players on the 2018 Red Sox knew or should have known that Watkins was utilizing in-game video to update the information that he had learned from his pregame analysis.” “MLB acknowledged the front office’s extensive efforts to communicate and enforce the rules and concluded that Alex Cora, the coaching staff, and most of the players did not engage in, nor were they aware of, any violations. Regardless, these rule violations are unacceptable. We apologize to our fans and Major League Baseball, and accept the Commissioner’s ruling,” Kennedy stated. Yawn. @GSUeagles14 Edited April 22, 2020 by MookieMonstah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
