You'll be relieved to know they didn't build these for you.

I have watched zero baseball this year and have no context, but how is it ever wrong to steal another team's signs? If you can figure it out, why is that wrong?

Stealing signs is not prohibited, but using electronic equipment or technology to do so is. That's what the Astros got busted for.

Omg

Lmao why he say f*** the nfl??? What the nfl got to do with this?

Comedy

 

[pismonque]

Who on this board is most likely to dress like this when we make the CFP title game?

Wonder how long in advance he had to start swallowing that thing to get it to come out at the right time?

Gotcha, thanks.

I've come to the conclusion you just enjoy having a miserable contrarian point of view. Not sure if I've seen you say anything close to positive. Are you Bruin's grandpa or something?

Win by recruiting. Recruits care about this stuff.

I think it's obvious.... @Catbone

It's New Orleans. I can guarantee he had no trouble finding someone to put their hand up there to insert it.

He’s chief

The Astros punishment just makes me hate the Patriots even more.

Hundreds of thousands to millions. One draft pick to several. Suspensions versus nada.


NFL shield my butt. Exhibit #23 why Brady can't hold Manning's jock strap.

I don’t baseball but the Astros, just waiting for The Patriots to move on Belicheck ️

They used technology. A video camera was set up in center field, and a coach would watch it in real time while in the tunnel of the dugout. He would then bang on a trash can twice if an offspeed pitch was coming.

I know unwritten rules talk of not stealing signs at all, but I understand if you can do it while on second base. That's using your human ability to determine a sign. But using technology is absolutely wrong, and I don't have a problem with the punishment.

The Astros just got killed for the sign stealing saga.
GM and head coach both suspended the entire season, the team was fined $5 million and they lose first and second round draft picks the next two years. No players were punished.
Also says the current Red Sox manager who was part of the process in Houston and was accused of doing the same thing in Boston will be heavily punished after the Red Sox investigation is completed.
Astros' Luhnow, Hinch suspended for 1 season

The Astros went ahead and fired both already.

The best argument for the Manning v. Brady debate is the season result when both were out. When Brady got hurt, Cassell took them to the playoffs. When Manning got hurt, I believe the Colts won 2 games. I heard someone say that Peyton should have won the MVP that year because it was a clear sign that he led that team.

Thanks, I hadn't see the details. I was thinking this was about reading the 1st or 3rd base coach signs or something, but stealing the pitch signs makes a lot more sense why that would be punished.

Nah, he's

Neither were actually involved from what I’m reading.

Easy to come to that conclusion.

Was it Chief that hated when someone called the team “our boys”
