Video showing the whistling used by the Astros to steal signs. -- (link) - Krusty Nov 22, 05:29 [youtube] 28
- who's whistling? -- nm - decline Nov 22, 05:55 3
  - Whomever is watching the feed in the hallway of the dugout is the one whistling to the batters -- nm* - Krusty Nov 22, 05:56 2
    - dude's got some pipes -- nm - decline Nov 22, 05:58 1
      - I can whistle really loud and with very little effort so it's not a big deal to do it. They seem to have switched things up over time -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 22, 06:02
- Not surprising in the least - it all makes sense now -- nm - JackDawson Nov 22, 05:46 1
  - The videos are damning evidence and I get angrier after each new one. They stole the pennants and World Series. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 05:49
- No one cares. -- nm - Shaun Nov 22, 05:32 21
  - It's the baseball equivalent of Spygate. Using technology to get an advantage of what the other team has planned. - Inigo Nov 22, 05:41 13
    - "It's crazy to me that people are freaking out about this' Really? They cheated for three years, ruined careers and stole the World Series. - Krusty Nov 22, 05:48 12
      - I actually even as a dodger fan wasnt too upset - eag Nov 22, 05:58 2
        
        Too be fair - eag Nov 22, 06:08
        
        They cheated you guys out of a WS. They cheated everyone. They don't deserve to be allowed to play baseball for a while. -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 06:00
      - I think it's silly there's a legal way to steal signs and not a legal way. - Inigo Nov 22, 05:54 5
        
        You don't see a difference with using your eyes while standing at 2nd vs. setting up a camera to watch the catcher's signs and signal the batters? -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 22, 06:00 4
        
        I think if stealing signs was really as egregious as you're making it, it would all be outlawed. - Inigo Nov 22, 06:09
        
        So they clearly weren't cheating this year then. -- nm - Shaun Nov 22, 06:02 2
        
        Washington had heard the stories and kept switching there pitches so there wasnt a pattern -- nm - eag Nov 22, 06:10
        
        They switched up how they signaled the batter. Rumors from players are that they used a buzzer of some kind in their cleats -- nm - Krusty Nov 22, 06:04
      - To me it puts me this much closer to not watching anymore. Why bother? It’s rigged- like politics. Why care? -- nm - JackDawson Nov 22, 05:50 2
        
        I didn't think that way but that's a good point. I ignore politics today but maybe I should look at baseball in a similar bad light. - Krusty Nov 22, 05:52 1
        
        Doubtful. Yanks will get off to a hot start in 2020, and you'll be back in full swing. - Shaun Nov 22, 05:56
  - You're wrong. - Krusty Nov 22, 05:35 6
