January 7, 20206 yr I'm just glad things haven't gotten so watered down, started to seem like penalties would lighten up but rumored to be at appropriate level. The red sox stuff, it's bad they should cut it out, but there are so many steps that I can't get as mad. Still requires the guy on second.
January 7, 20206 yr No technology during the game. No screens. No video rooms. No iPads in the dugouts. Do your scouting before the game and compete like athletes.
January 7, 20206 yr Red Sox would steal the signs in the video room and then give it to their players so they could then relay it to the batters when they were on second base. Not as bad as the Astros, but still bad.
January 7, 20206 yr They need to lose draft picks as well, suspensions and fines isnt enough. Totally worth winning a WS as it stands

January 7, 20206 yr This feels like the Astros throwing the red sox under the bus to save face a bit.

But since 2017 and 2018 are illegitimate...the crown reverts to the previous winners in 2016. So retroactively, Congratulations to the 3 time in a row World Series champion Chicago Cubs....now feel free to suck again for another 100 years Cubbies...your fans deserve it.

They also lose their 1st and 2nd rounders next two years. Pretty devastating penalty. Should deter this bullshit in the future. Edited January 13, 20206 yr by chitownsportsfan
January 13, 20206 yr 7 minutes ago, PolishPrince34 said: Huge!!!! Houston gets crippled here and well deserved. Hardly. Losing 4 draft picks when you're the worst pick in the draft, and then likely at least worst 5 picks in the draft is hardly a crippling an org. Suspending the GM and manager for a year is nothing. That hardly affect the on field performance at all. Disappointed in these "punishments".

From Houston's perspective, this was all worth it, and if they knew this would be the punishment before the whole thing started, they probably still would've done it.
January 14, 20206 yr Back when the Cubs played day baseball they put a camera in the vines to steal signals during a DH and got smoked both games.
