In response to ""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." by Krusty

I think it's silly there's a legal way to steal signs and not a legal way.

The fact that you can do it with just humans, and not with technology is a distinction without a difference to me.

Rage on, though. Kick the whole franchise out of the league for something that's allowed here, but not allowed there.

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
