MLB cheating scandal
- Thread starter lightweight
- Start date
I firmly believe that although the Astros and Red Sox are getting the hammer for this, they are just taking the bullet for the league.
Most teams if not all I believe engaged in some form of electronic sign stealing/communications. Astros/Cora's system was just the best one with a team that already had a TON of talent.

Something is bothering me about Beltran stepping down as Mets manager.
Brodie’s college roommate and best buddy. A J Hinch, gets fired. Hinch’s bench coach, Cora gets fired in Boston. Hinch’s senior and most respected player, Beltran, steps down. Are we to believe Brodie did not know about what was coming down? How? Why isn’t Brodie being held accountable for this mess with the Mets? Knowing what he, Brodie, knew about the situation, how and why does he hire Beltran? And why does he still have a job with the Mets?

Maybe this gives Mets the excuse to let BVW go.
On another disgusting note, its being reported that Altuve and Bregman wore "buzzers" on their shoulders and were buzzed by a clubhouse attendant in the dugout hallway after they saw the pitch sign and would buzz the players to indicate what kind of pitch was being thrown.
Not for nothing, I know we discussed this in the Yankee thread, but its like Altuve KNEW what pitch Chapman was throwing him. He crushed that pitch, and tells his teammates to NOT rip his short off when he was rounding third and heading home. Don't rip my shirt off were his thoughts, not WOW what a fucking life moment I just had.
Cheating Rat Fucks!

That didn't take long; we reached Peak Mets.
The new reports about electronic buzzers being worn by the players, their MVP no less, this is getting worse and worse for all involved.
Unprecedented levels of cheating going here. It's been reported that the use of buzzers couldn't be substantiated by MLB in their investigation, but perhaps there's new evidence coming out about this. IF that's the case, and they can confirm certain players wore those patches, the Commissioner has to dole out punishments for players involved.

Steve, the only thing is that players on many or several other teams then would really have to be investigated. Yanks and Dodgers did it also, do you want the Commissioner to keep looking and start suspending many players from at least 4 teams? Why just the Astros? I dont disagree with you totally. But it goes deeper than the Astros. Plus, its easy for us to say suspend the players, but their is however, a union that would be involved. I am sure Manford thought hard about doing that.
I hear you. I didnt elaborate because several articles said Yanks and Dodgers for 3 years did something, but it never said what it was. Plus, I think it was for the 3 years before, the Commissioner sent a letter to ever team to stop it. Astros and Sox, never stopped. Matter of fact, it came out the the Astros GM never even showed that letter to his manager, or anyone else.
