Their cheating wasn't just one to two guys either. It was systemic throughout the organization.

That people aren't freaking out about this more is insane. It seems like only the Dodgers and Yankees fans are the ones most upset but every team should be angry especially AL and AL West teams.

I actually even as a dodger fan wasnt too upset - eag Nov 22, 05:58 2

- 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
