2020 MLB Season Baseball • Page 399

pretty much knew it was a coverup once the MLB just batted an eye at stuff like this

 

When will people/sports learn.... cover up always worse than if you come clean. I for one never really gave a shit about sign stealing (buzzers are an entirely different thing) but piling on the Astros and then letting other teams off with a warning. Dont like that

 

Agreed. Wasn’t MLB investigating 7 or 8 other teams at the time they were looking at the Red Sox? What happened to those teams? I find it hard to believe all those teams weren’t doing anything.

 

Manfred is so awful for this league

genuinely killing the sport singling teams out, wasting a season of baseball now, just terrible

 

What do our resident Yankees fans have to say???

 

Nothing since I don't know what the letter says yet lol

 

I love that literally nothing happened to the Astros team other than their owner firing the gm and coach and their fans are like “throw the book at the Yankees now!!!!!” lol

 

for a second I thought Aaron Judge really wanted to stick it to Manfred by airing some dirty laundry

 

it’ll be interesting to know the extent. hard to imagine it’s as egregious as houston

 

That's what I've always thought. Most, if not all, teams likely "cheat" in some way. The issue is how egregious and blatant the Astros did it.

 

It’s probably what the Red Sox did, which I think is what every MLB team does and don’t really think it’s a big deal. What Houston did absolutely was and isn’t the norm.

 

I’m just glad that my team is so great and honest and will never do anything bad.

Please don’t dig up this quote if there are any future Rays scandals.

 

The follow up article:
Sources: Rob Manfred letter to Yankees did not allege sign stealing

SNY reported in January that the violation came when then-pitching coach Larry Rotshchild phoned the video replay room in 2015 or 2016 to ask if a particular pitch had been a ball or a strike.

 

tbh I didn’t think the Red Sox deserved to get as much punishment as they did, it’s also ridiculous that they got more taken away from them than the Astros.

 

Someone mentioned the devil Ray's today... mannnn I miss the devil rays. What say you

 

I get to watch the Devil Rays play 3-5 times a year on throwback days. Needs to be more.

 

I don’t know how to post a tweet on the site but take a look at JoeRiveraSN

He’s saying he heard from a source Yankees had three different cameras set up in the OF in 2017. Also calls out Rangers, Royals and Phillies.

 

I knew what was coming and I still approve so much
