    Yeah I said the same thing when this started. If catchers continue to throw down signs to call pitches there will be efforts to steal those signs via technology. Even with these penalties.

    Just give the guys wireless earpieces and be done with it. (Make the connection ultra-secure of course)

    Pitching is deception. Knowing the pitch is a big advantage over (sewing and reacting or guessing)

    I’m still of the same stance that I cannot believe teams didn’t do more with creative signaling to counter it.

    They will now.

    Girardi said they did some things to counter in 2017, teams will counter with creativity and use smart people to help them do it.

    I agree. That’s why I earlier proposed that the pitcher and catcher come up with a random number at the beginning of an inning to act as a key to offset the signs. But it’ll probably end up being an electronic means between the two. Until Macedonian teenagers start calling the pitches.

    Re: Astros stolen signs scandal

    Feel free to hate me for this, but I am actually rooting for the Astros to win the World Series this year.

    1. Dusty deserves a ring as manager

    2. If the Astros win the World Series, it will emphasis what a weak, insufficient punishment Manfred gave them for their cheating.
    Hoping to change my username to 75769024

    ...and maybe emphasize that they didn’t need to cheat after all?
    Really, the ONLY good thing about the Astros winning would be Dusty getting a ring.

    Cheaters don't stop cheating, they just change methods.
