Don 929 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I'm all for the "get what you can" approach when it comes to picking up signs or guys tipping their pitches, etc... That's been a part of the game forever. But if you're using your own private video feed to get access to that sort of stuff it's definitely crossing an ethical line. Either force teams not to do that, or give them both access to the video feed in dugout. Either way is fine by me.

If you're using electronic technology to steal signs, that's just wrong and there should be big fines laid down. ukyah and Tank 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have league officials regularly check that nothing fishy is going on, rely on people to report if something is, punish swiftly and harshly for violations. I feel like getting 30 teams to comply with "Hey, don't hide a freaking camera in the outfield to run your own private feed of the catcher's signals" should be fairly doable for MLB.

Why do you think the only team to come up publicly on this in recent years is the Astros? Either they’re way better at it than everyone else (which gets them noticed), or way more careless about it. Either way, I hope MLB drops the hammer on them. TroutField 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
