No players were disciplined by Major League Baseball in the Astros' investigation. While Mets manager Carlos Beltran was part of it, he was a player at the time and thus was not suspended.
Discipline for Red Sox manager Alex Cora is coming. It is going to be harsh, per sources.
Asked if MLB will check whether Jose Altuve has a tattoo, as claimed in the Astros' defense, Rob Manfred laughed like it wasn't a serious question and said, "You know, that one hasn't occurred to me." Really? It didn't occur to you to check the story? https://t.co/y6KAztZg5h

That won't work so well with the batter standing right there listening to what the catcher is saying. [Reply]
Zachary K. Hubbard has a Gematria Effect channel on youTube and has claimed that MLB is scripted. He predicted the CHIEFS winning this years Super Bowl and past World Series Champions as well as NBA Champions. He thinks all these sports are contrived B.S. - Letters and Numbers. - A is 1, Z is 26 - Very interesting stuff. Not for everyone. :-) [Reply]
Right now, using nothing but public data. Using azure big data and machine learning analytics that’s available to every single person on the planet, I can tell you what is the key when a team changing signs. The MLB teams have way better software than the entry level stuff on Azure.
I can put a hearing aid in the canal of the ear from Costco. Won’t be able to see it on the broadcast or even if your the catcher or ump. Bluetooth will work up to 500 yards. Can buzz it or even talk into the hearing aid. That’s an over the counter solution.
Again MLB can afford nano tech that’s bluetooth capable. We are talking less than 1/2 the size of a fingernail clipping. Stick it anywhere. No bulge.
Your going to have to block the Bluetooth protocol to stop this approach. Which is not going to happen because fans want to use their phones at games.
Baseball is going to have to use the threat of a death penalty or its going to happen again. It’s just too easy to do these days. [Reply]

Yup I mean even look at the Astros...they went from the rudimentary garbage can system to using bluetooth buzzers in 2 years...
Makes you wonder what's next and how it'll keep progressing and if the league can even keep up with it. [Reply]

If the steroid era taught us anything, it’s that the cheaters are waaayy ahead of the people trying to catch the cheaters.
Read Game of Shadows if you haven’t. That book discusses in great detail how they were able to create new substances to cheat drug tests. They were so far ahead of the testers. [Reply]
If the players want to make a statement against them, they should just refuse to play them in Houston until whatever they think penalty-wise was merited is done. Forfeit and give them a W, and talk to reporters about if they are going to cheat to get a win they can just skip the theatrics of the game and have the win. It wouldn't take long for some action to be taken when games aren't played over it, although I am guessing the forfeit team would end up being punished, it would get more focus on the problem than spouting off in interviews.

Seems like a simple solution. Too bad the commissioner is a simple simpleton. If there's any plus out of this it's that Manfred has botched this so badly he might get shoved out. [Reply]
