Can they just get rid of the whole franchise? (www.youtube.com)

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
  - You wrong! -- nm - Appa Nov 22, 05:38 5
    - Thanks for contributing. -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 22, 05:39 4
      - Can't even make a Kim's Convenience joke? Happy Friday...? -- nm - Shaun Nov 22, 05:48 2
        
        I thought you were rude in your first reply so I dismissed your joke reply after that as more rudeness. -- nm* - Krusty Nov 22, 05:50 1
        
        *thumbs up* -- nm - Shaun Nov 22, 05:54
      - It’s like you’ve never met him before? -- nm - JackDawson Nov 22, 05:45
