because thats what they got punished for. There's no rule in the MLB rulebook that says sign stealing is illegal. The "illegal" part was using either a "mechanical device" as denoted by a memo from the MLB office in 1960 or 61, or an "electronic device" as from a memo in the early 2000s from the MLB office. And finally the memo from Manfred in 2017 after giving the red sex an undisclosed slap on the wrist for using "electronic devices" to relay signs.captive, why do you think the problem is solely the sign stealing or even the "technology" aspect of it?
Season almost starting and Yasiel Puig remains unsigned. Jeter Downs and Josiah Gray for Puig and Alex Wood is looking like an all timer.
Yeah, he would be an upgrade for at least half of the teams, that's a bizarre situation.Which is stupid as hell. There should be plenty of teams that could benefit from Puig. What's going on?

the problem is like everything else MLB has ignored this issue and in fact didn't discourage it. After replay review was introduced in 2014 teams asked the league office if they could use those to "decode signs" and the big brains at the league office, despite literal decades of "illegal" sign stealing, said yea sure, you can do that. Teams even asked if they could set up cameras as "training devices" trained on the catcher. And not a single person at the league office said, man i bet these guys will use that to steal signs in real time?
The league doesnt care about this shit. The only reason they did anything about PEDs is Consecos book. The only reason they are pretending to now is because Fiers went public. From my reading on the subject, the Astros along with a host of other teams have been repeatedly turned into the league office for "illegal sign stealing." And every time the league does nothing. They don't care because offense puts butts in seats. In fact they care so little about it, i haven't found a single instance of a player or team being punished for illegal sign stealing before the 2017 Red Sox were punished for it.
even doing a modicum of research you come up with story after story like this. about "illegal" sign stealing, PEDs, corked bats, pitchers using foreign substances, scuffing balls, you name it. Literally every article ive found on the subject has some team using a mechanical or electronic device to steal signs and in most of the articles its often treated as "unwritten rule" don't make it too obvious, IE having pine tar on your neck when your pitching, and everyone stays mostly mum about it.
nah. one of their guys literally got caught hacking into the astros system. Dude went to jail for 4 years. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/19/...o-four-years-for-hacking-astros-database.htmlA few years ago didn't we sue the St. Louis Cardinals and win the suit?I forgot how the Cards were cheating off us, but I know they cheated using the Astros for something
I have become accustom to the big injuries that plague this team.
That sounds like something a relief pitcher would do. Mason Saunders is a great alias, though.Kinda surprised it was not posted already, but it was discovered that Madison Bumgarner was participating in rodeo events under the alias Mason Saunders 😂. He even took first place in a team roping event and won 26k. No one in the DBacks front office had any idea this was going on 😆.
Couldn't something like this void his contract?Kinda surprised it was not posted already, but it was discovered that Madison Bumgarner was participating in rodeo events under the alias Mason Saunders 😂.

Bumgarner is always doing crazy shit in the off-season, my guess is his contract allows it somehow
very nice 👍Baseball confirmed

I'm surprised it took this long
Hulu live.Youtube TV yanked Yes Network so is there any other streaming platform I can watch the Yankees on?
Thanks, that's another $5 more a month... They really want to push people back to cable.
And how many players involved in these 9th inning heart attack games will be playing in the majors?if the regular season goes like spring training it will be a good season for the white sox and I don't know if I will make it.
white sox are 3 and 2
in their three wins they won in the 9th, won in the 9th, and won decently, but going into the 9th it was a 3-2 game and they added 4 runs.
in their two losses they had the tying run on third with 1 out in the 9th and got blown out in a split squad game
they also have a tie which they... tied it up in the 9th
I'd have to go through, but a lot of times it's been players I actually know :PAnd how many players involved in these 9th inning heart attack games will be playing in the majors?
You betcha

Awesome. Its exactly what I want and using a Fire Stick 4k as well.I use this one: https://unlocator.com/pricing/
It is $5 a month ($10 if you want a VPN as well).
Easy to set up on my laptop. I did set it up on the MLB.TV Fire TV stick app, but there were some issues where I had to clear out the cache every day to watch it. Seemed like a problem with the app and not their service. Never set it up on my phone so can't speak to that.
For the last two years they had a promo for baseball season where it would cost $3.71 a month when you signed up. Usually towards the end of March if I remember correctly. Might be sooner this year since opening day is at the end of March.
Good. Hopefully that should give this locked and loaded Sox team a huge boost.Judge, Stanton likely to miss Opening Day
TAMPA, Fla. -- The Yankees will be without two of their most prominent sluggers to begin the season. Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton are both considered unlikely to appear in the Yankees’ Opening Day lineup, general manager Brian Cashman said on Tuesday at George M. Steinbrenner Field.
