Mike Fiers outed them...

[Rally Gorilla]

Tankers and cheaters.  F'ing Astros....

The hits keep coming.

Meh

These bastards are slowly becoming my most hated team in baseball

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.

I agree. 

If you're using electronic technology to steal signs, that's just wrong and there should be big fines laid down.

[Amazing Larry]

Good luck enforcing that.

I think teams should be better about not letting themselves get owned by teams like the Astros. 

[UndertheHalo]

Also, when are the Angels going to figure out how to do shit like this ?

[rafibomb]

insane

It wouldn't surprise me if the Astros were Russian assets

Weren't you the dude that said they were your most hated team/ biggest rival of the Angels and that are than half the board would agree?

So from the article every team is doing this... move on.

It seems fairly enforceable to me. 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.

I think Altuve should return his MVP trophy.

From the article it looks like every team is doing this.... So everyone should return their MVP trophy since cameras were invented. Let's just get rid of baseball. Then we won't have anyone ever trying to cheat...

If they were, it would be leaking. 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.

Did you read the article? It literally states it in the article that most the teams are doing this. Come on.. Don't just read the headline.

Don't be cranky. You should eat lunch. It's good for you. Makes you less hangry.

I read the article. It only states the Astros, Red Sox and Yankees were involved in electronic sign stealing.
