oh, the irony of the situation
What is amusing is that they boo Altuve and Correa…

but cheer Bregman who was right in the middle of it…

And their own manager was suspended a year for his involvement…

Talk about phony..

For the record…..I approve of booing……there should be more of it for poor performance

Cora….and Beltran were behind it in H…

Beltran brought the idea with him from the Yankees…and Cora worked the details…

So after that was resolved and he went to Boston…he was suspended again for Boston taping signs in the clubhouse…

Yet….he is popular in Boston

Thanks

As to today’s incident…..

If Story was observing something that would help his club….good for him…he has his head in the game.

I would blame the H catcher for setting up in a particular position too soon in the pitchers delivery…allowing story to see it and pass it along..

By the way…do they boo arenado or gray at the stadium..

Sign stealing has been part of baseball (and football) forever. As long as it only involves human eyes and hands, I’m OK with it, and in fact, I’m all for it. :D

But when they start using video, iPhones, Apple Watches, or any other electronic tools, that’s where I draw the line.

I still don’t like golfers who use those cameras and other electronic tools to determine distance to the pin either, but that’s another story for another day….maybe I’m just a Luddite. :lol:

Well, googled luddite ....................... yep, I may not be opposed, but might as well be with my lack of endorsing it very well.

yes, you are. People can have the most detailed map but now even more overhead photography and distances to every spec on the ground. Distance estimating skill is not part of the game anymore with that info. Watching caddies take many minutes pacing around is no longer the least bit interesting, as neither interesting is playing or watching 5 hour golf rounds. Rounds need to be shorter, lase it in 4 seconds and move on. Which the PGA championship has switched to.

Exactly! If your opponent is careless enough that you can decipher their signs, by all means use that to your advantage. But that crosses a line when any kind of technology or equipment that isn't standard issue baseball field equipment is used.

Astros were one of the few organizations that benefited from Covid.

Pretty simple just ban use of electronic equipment in dugout except bullpen phone. Make managers - manage.

Players get bent out of shape over sign stealing and yet no one bats an eye when catchers move their mitts to “frame “ balls into strikes.
