It sucks, but there's going to be a surge in attendance at Astros game this season just so fans can boo them and see if any fights go down. The Astros cheating is going to be good for the MLB, at least in the short term.

They get to keep the title? Yeah, hammered. :-)

This could have all been nipped in the bud.


Nope, they dropped the ball.

Why does Rob Manfred still have a job?

The "piece of metal" comment told me all I need to know about what the Astros and the MLB think of their Championship. The funny thing is that the Astros intentionally tanked, similar to us, but couldn't do what we did in back to back years, so they had to cheat to get to where we got to. Makes me proud of the Royals even more so.

WRONG.

Forgive me guys but I'm more of a football guy... But I have a question... Hasn't sign stealing been going on for ages in baseball anyway??? I know it wasn't to this extent but I think it's been around for awhile... Right? Cheating to get a Championship is wrong anyway you do it.

Using technology to do it is the issue here.

it would be like someone telling a defense in football exactly what play you are running every play using a microphone thats that head coach can hear in real time.

If anyone thinks that the Astros are the only team with an elaborate sign stealing scheme I have bad news for you...they got busted but this shit is pervasive in baseball.

Go ahead and name all the ones using live video and a wireless communications system to do so.

The Dodgers and Yankees were both accused of it......remember the Apple watch bonanza?
