How many rings do the Yankees get huh? Fucking A.
Should be 28 rings ova hea......
Coras gonna get a life ban mark my words. He was the ring leader of this shit and continued it with Boston likely. It cuts to the same arguement used to ban hammer Pete Rose. Integrity of the game. Pete never bet against his team EVER (I’m sure if he had the evidence would’ve surfaced by now it’s been over 30yrs). Cora literally cheated to two rings in a row.
Side note it’s rumored the Nationals were literally sign hopping between five different sets ever random number of pitches to avoid what the Astros were doing so it was pretty much know wtf was going on and how by this fall completely.

Hunch supposedly broke the system on more then one occasion per reports but since he failed to go public or anything is why he got hammered for a year. Similarly the GM knew and did nothing about it. The case with both was they were scapegoated even though they weren’t actively involved they just allowed it to happen without doing anything other then trying to break the toys of the boys. Again I expect Cora could very well get the life ban and he probably should be. He was the brains behind the whole thing in Houston and Boston

And once again I will point out that sign stealing is a basic part of the game. It’s the technical assist that took it too far. Perspective.
The Nationals this year knew what was up and had something like 5 sets of signs.
The Dodgers knew too but when you can’t be bothered to get some relief pitching why would you bother to step up your signs?
Dodgers lose and Nats win.
But yeah, Cora is going to the chair. It just isn’t on par with betting for or against your team. Flopping is for NBA.
Not sure why people keep saying stupid shit like this. Stealing signs & what the Astros & Red Sox did is not in any way, shape or form similar to a baserunner deciphering the signs & trying to give the batter some information.
Don't you know & understand that MLB told every team not to do exactly this thing or the hammer would fall?
Like, seriously, they went out of their way to tell all the teams that play in the MLB that they were not to use any technology in this way to relay the signs to the batter so he can use this knowledge in real time. There was absolutely no grey area in the directive. None
On a side note the Red Sox & Cora have parted ways most likely ending his managerial &, possibly, coaching career.

In reality, the Astros (and perhaps also the Red Sox) deserve their titles to be taken away for those years.
I never thought it would happen, and I wouldn't want the Dodgers to become champs by default that way. (Besides, it also wouldn't be fair to the ALCS loser to award the championship to the Dodgers).
Still, it's kinda BS that a team which cheated its way to a championship gets to still be considered champion of that year.
The fairest thing would be having no champion, but baseball would look terrible, so they'd never do that.
As punishment for her husband and the Houston Astros cheating, Kate Upton should have sex with the entire Los Angeles Dodgers roster.
I was at UMass when they went to the Final 4 with Coach Cal, and the Marcus Camby stuff invalidated their tournament wins entirely and took them off the books. Except, they kinda didn't, maybe an asterisk is added in some record books I guess, but the 1996 NCAA East Regional Champs banner never once came down from the Mullins Center rafters after it went up.
Hilarious that the “average” American can be distracted to the point where stealing signs occupies their time.
Yet all around is crumbling.
Shout out to XFactor for keeping me smiling
Carlos Beltran to step down as Mets manager (before he even manages one game) due to the sign stealing scandal.
