I fully expect Click to begin bargain bin shopping for more arms. He should have really good exposure to paying pennies for roster moves
He outplayed Lunhow on CFM
But it doesn't. The theory is sound, but their openers got rocked (last I checked). If someone has better stats, I'd love to see them.Farmer1906 said:

Luhnow created CFM. Without him there is no CFM
Especially if they know a fastball is coming. Surely we can figure out another way to communicate that.the last of the bohemians said:
Adopting more hit and run could produce better at bats if nothing else. Especially seems logical approach when the low strikeout hitters are up ( Brantley, Yuli).

Interesting. Just very, very interesting that only the Red Sox and Astros have been named in all of this sign-stealing stuff. It's almost like I've been a thousand percent right all along.
Right about what, you ask? Oh, just that I've been shouting from the rooftops that the only reason why the Astros and Red Sox were the only two teams to be named in all of this is because Evan Drellich only ever worked in Houston and Boston and had an ax to grind against both organizations. Also have been saying that if Drellich worked in the Bronx and LA before going to the Athletic that the two sign-stealing stories would've been about the Yankees and Dodgers.
Why? Because THEY. WERE. DOING. IT. TOO. Tell the whole ****ing story! Investigate all of the teams that were rumored to be doing it. There are plenty of them. And they're all just sitting there laughing at the Astros and Red Sox because they KNOW that the league won't investigate any other teams unless another story is written by a reputable publication. Why? Because the league would LOVE to contain the cheating epidemic to just two teams. It's a bad look if it's more than that. Well, it IS more than that. Yet, the only way that other teams will be investigated is if there's another story written somewhere.
Well, Chris Young, who played for both the Red Sox and Yankees, just gave you your story. The Red Sox were fined for using Apple watches to relay signs to the dugout from the video room in 2017. That was strike one. That's why, if the league finds anything on them for 2018, their punishment will be harsh, because they already have a strike against them. Well, how about the league getting off of their collective ****ing asses and looking at the Yankees for once. I mean, Jesus Christ. How many times do I have to write out this sentence on the blog the New York Yankees were named SEVENTY-ONE ****ING TIMES IN THE ATHLETIC STORY THAT ACCUSED THE RED SOX OF CHEATING. SEVENTY-ONE.

I have no problem with the occasional hit an run, keeps opponent a little off balanced, kind of like the occasional steal.
But bunting, literally 90% of the league has no idea how to bunt properly.

didn't we know about the apple watch cheating 2 years ago? whats the new part of the story?
Definitely agree with this. We were doomed to fail with the approach last year because we didn't prep guys for the roles, but Tampa's guys sure looked comfortable in their roles when the playoffs rolled around.Ag_07 said:
Seemed to really give us fits in the ALDS.
I think teams who embrace it and build with it in mind it works for. Doesn't work for teams like us that try it randomly here and there.
