MLB Pipeline pre-2016

I can't wait for @WBWSF's latest letter to Reinsdorf complimenting them for a big signing.

Wut

Holy shit.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/16/sports/baseball/mlb-minor-league-proposal.html Voyagers on the chopping block. Also, if we need another reason to hate Lunhow, it was his idea.

And they got Bregman as compensation for lowballing Aiken.

Oh lord, BP is visualizing the sound from the Astros' trash cans. https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/55283/moonshot-the-astros-sign-stealing-left-a-fingerprint-in-the-audio-date/ How many tables do you think the Astros PR department has flipped?

How the Nationals planned for this was...insane. Washington Post: Sign-stealing in the World Series? The Nationals had a plan, just in case. Whole thing is worth a read.

I don't know how much of Nightengale I can believe, the man sounded drunk while talking about the Sox on White Sox Talk.

Thousands of pitches* I'm thinking of the draft standings this affected, teams that might have missed the playoffs due to this, playoff outcomes altered, players who might have missed bonuses based on performance, rookies who got shelled through no fault of their own (like Fiers brought up), and the fact that this was organization sanctioned, not 7 players + 1 illiterate one who performed anyway.

At this point, over the course of three seasons? Yah. Especially with the 2017 World Series now in question.

Everyone watch how blatant this shit is.

Depending on what MLB finds, Hinch and Lunhow should probably be banned, especially when you take into consideration how much worse this is for the sport compared to Pete Rose or the Black Sox. As for the players, that's gonna be trickier. What works in favor of that argument is that supposedly, some players declined the help. Redditors went through the game Farquhar caught the Astros in and the players that got trash can bangs included Bregman, Correa, Altuve, Beltran, Gattis, and Springer.

Has Jomboy's vid been posted in here? Man, the internet is taking care of MLB's investigation.

Seeing Lunhow get the boot would be pretty phenomenal, not gonna lie.
