It was accepted at the time because it was discovered that the Astros definitely knew what was coming.
Now there's obviously a different story.
His first outing was in Houston (Game 3), and the second was at Dodger Stadium (Game 7). He got hammered early in both, and failed to strike out a batter in both.
Definitely looks like they knew what was coming, but now the suspicion is that it wasn't necessarily from tipping pitches.
It would have been possible to pull similar BS in Dodger Stadium, with a high powered camera by someone sitting in the stadium.
I don't believe they were doing it @ Dodger Stadium. I just don't. I kinda remember other teams players confirming that he was tipping his pitches & they knew all about it. The Dodgers seemed to be the only ones oblivious to it.
Of course they may have used info from Houston to confirm his tipping of pitches.

I read Friedman was approached with suspicion before the WS.
This year the Nationals scrambled their cODe cause they too had heard things.
The difference, of course, is that the Nationals acted on the intel and the Dodgers did not. You're not surprised, are you? I’m not.
I agree that this almost certainly wasn’t occurring in Dodgers stadium anyway.
Nobody is forfeiting anything. Dodgers still would have found a way to lose. You just gotta give them a chance.
That’s the beauty of curses. Curses end up being a collection of many different and surprising fails and bad beats. There will be more in the Dodgers future.

not confirmed yet that in 2020 Dodgers will combat sign stealing by discontinuing catcher signals to pitcher
and instead will use wifi/blue tooth under cap
Mike Postle rumored to have been seen leaving Dodger Stadium recently
repeat, none of this confirmed yet
