Astros accused of high-tech sign-stealing scheme during 2017 championship season

[floplag]

Reading speculation the guy that started it was our pal Marisnik.  Found that entertaining

The nice thing about cheating is that you’re only cheating if you get caught ... Astros

No what I’m saying is every team is doing it. I don’t care. It doesn’t bother me. 

c'mon dude, can't you hear your dad telling you, "i don't care if everybody is doing it. it's wrong." also, you're stretching the truth by saying everybody is doing it, because everybody is not doing it.

Just have every sign delivered via text message. Not that hard, people.

Just do like college football where they have a guy on the sidelines holding a poster with four pictures on it of Shania Twain, Robert Downey jr, Gordon Ramsey, and a toucan.

They do it all the time! Altuve does it quite a bit actually when he's on 2nd base, same with Springer. 

As a catcher you almost have to give the spot and slide to it when the pitch is on its way. Without giving up the location. Then your framing is late.

The Doyers twitter very much believes that they were cheated out of their World Series.  

This actually makes it better. Like the astros sound like they really did cheat... and the one dude made racist asian jokes while they did it...

And dodger fans have to take it. 

For life.

Or kill two birds with one scone and use the same drones that deliver the foul balls to kids over the nets.

Kudos for the 2 birds comment following tanks toucan post.

it's like a double win for halo fans.  they cheat to beat the dogs and now they'll get busted for it and weaken their team when we're getting better.

Cock a doodle profit!

This is the answer when playing the stros. Navajo code talkers, and nick cage trying to do an accent.

[zenmaster]

Even with hard evidence they'll most likely just get told to not do this so obviously next time. I say take away some draft picks and fine the heck out of them. 

[T.G.]

Listening to mlb network radio - the consensus is that there will be severe fines and loss of draft picks.  The Astros have priors, folks. 

The Houston Cheatros.

The Astros really are a bunch of shitheads, aren't they?

[yk9001]

Anyone catch the GM claiming innocence yesterday?

"no free agent will want to sign there now" 

[UndertheHalo]

Is this worse or when the Dodgers were using human traffickers to help them manipulate and dominate Latin American player acquisition.  Up in the air I guess.

Not to worry, Astros are investigating...

 

[yk9001]

I hope this statement from the Astros has a little more stringent quality control than the last time.

Just saying, couldn’t have happened to a nicer organization in the World Series.  Just awful.

[Lou]

I have it on good authority that some people here are ok with cheating.

You gotta love Trevor Bauer...
