It's a park rule, not a Astros/Nationals rule. Astros and Nats share a facility in West Palm Beach. They don't allow large signs as it disrupts lines of sight for fans. They've done it for other signs before. Most parks have this rule, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How else would we have the best record in baseball from that point on. Ah-haaaa! Now the details are coming out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had satellites honing in on games, and took control of every smart device in the stadium. We knew what the pitcher was going to throw before he did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slateman Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 We were the only ones with cheating technology to beat the Astros. We had no choice. Dodgers were just collateral damage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Game 5 of the World Series Dodgers were up 4-0 and Kershaw pitched a gem in Game 1 and pitching great in Game 5. After the Astros went down 4-0, they all of a sudden started destroying Kershaw. Want a mind boggling, almost concrete evidence stat against the Astros according to Tom Verducci? In Game 5, Kershaw threw 51 off speed pitches. Do you know many swings and misses he got? 0. Edited February 26, 2020 by BayRaider 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BayRaider Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) http://signstealingscandal.com They really started cheating a ton at the End of May. 2018/2019 they obviously had a different way of relaying the pitch, probably a device they were wearing, but we’ll never find out.

In Game 5, Kershaw threw 51 off speed pitches. Do you know many swings and misses he got? 0. Kershaw was a known playoff chocker before 2017. That is a fact. Lets not pretend he hasn't had ample opportunity to show he is a big game pitcher against not the Astros and failed basically every single time Look at the videos posted above and tell me they were good pitches. Kershaw hung breaking balls. That zimmerman one was such a horrible pitch, and the Soto one was literally right down the middle. That's choking and has nothing to do with sign stealing. You make those pitches against professional hitters and they make you pay. This is the big leagues No swings and misses doesn't prove anything. Sometimes guys don't have their best stuff on certain nights. If he wasn't locating pitches, then guys aren't going to swing and miss. Did they swing and miss at the fastball?

Leader Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Jon Heyman - If it makes anyone feel better, there’s no doubt Astros players are suffering for their shenanigans. Some of them seem sad; with others it feels like they’ve lost their edge. Prediction: It’s going to be a long season and they will very likely under perform. //// Good.

No, I'm saying that Kershaw in the playoffs was a known entity before the 2017 world series His career post season era before the 2017 world series was 4.50... in 104 innings. That's plenty of sample size Go read my post again. Kershaw was bad before that world series, and he was bad after it. Trying to say anything otherwise is factually inaccurate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game 7 he’s back in LA and great again. Kershaw was great this series aside from in Houston against known cheaters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
