If only we had someone awake in the dugout who could make a point about how bad it is.

National writers are already trying to discredit and dismiss Kratz.

https://sports.yahoo.com/ex-mlb-catcher-erik-kratz-rockie-astros-sign-stealing-scheme-2018-mlb-234653785.html

"The difference with this Rockies allegation, though, is that Kratz is claiming the team used an Astros-esque banging scheme rather than something along the lines of what the 2017 Red Sox did (relay signals to the dugout via Apple Watch, then relay that to the hitter) or what the 2018 Red Sox did (use the video room to update pitcher-catcher sign sequences when they differed from pregame scouting). Manfred himself said the latter was 'far more limited in scope and impact' than what the Astros did, and that's probably true for many systems used in video rooms.

So while the Astros weren't alone in cheating, it appeared that they were the lone team to use a system so effective, and still used it in the postseason (the 2018 Red Sox were found to have stopped cheating during the regular season).

If the Rockies (or the Dodgers) used a banging scheme, well, that's new information, but doesn't come from a reliable source. Kratz isn't the first player to accuse other teams of illegal sign-stealing, and he probably won't be the last."
