You would think MLB would at least initially investigate what the light was and release some kind of statement, instead of letting random media "report" on it and spread speculation. It caused a delay in the game and there is obviously some suspicion about what went on. Add the fact the Red Sox are known to have cheated in the past and their manager was one of the ring leaders in the Astros scheme. If this happens in Houston, the FBI would already be involved.

But whatever.....win tomorrow. That's all that really matters.

I don't want to sound like Sox fans and Yankee fans trying to accuse every instance that I don't have an immediate answer to of being cheating. The light obviously came from the bar. We see that camera crews were in there filming. Even if it was a cell phone, it was someone taking a video probably. I don't think Cora or anyone in the Sox would set up some type of signaling system by putting their guys in a crowded bar for everyone to see.

And idiots wonder why Stros players weren't punished. You can't punish players with open knowledge and info of what other teams were doing without destroying baseball completely with public/fans.

And the MLB will be having no "public" investigation anytime soon.

Similar to Roids, no issue until affects bottom dollar. Once people are investigated publicly sweep all other roid issues under the rug. While only using a few scapegoats

Maybe the reflective tape is the scam. Shine a light off of it at the right angle and the hitter can see it. That way when they are caught everyone can say what they did... no, no, that's just tape, nothing scammy going on here.

The bar light is a distraction to the issue. The reflective tape could be used to cheat.

Postseason off-day conspiracy theories are so much worse than regular season off-day Travolta.

You don't have to sound like an idiot Yankees fan when asking questions.

What is the reflective tapes purpose on that point on the wall? If needed, why is it not non reflective tape?

Are were saying a franchise worth 3.5 billion has to put tape on a wall versus fixing whatever is wrong? And it's very easy to shine a camera flash light in a bar full of drunks.

Is the bar now getting fined because a light came from there ? That's what the video said, if the lights or sounds from bar affected players there would be a fine.

When do we find out about their fine? Or we sticking with blaming on camera crew?

If you had heard in 2017 your team was banging on trash cans to signal pitches you would have posted the same thing.

The BUCK System - how to anoint a ball player as the greatest thing ever in MLB history during the post-season.

All credit to one of the finest moments in 21st century TV, the DENNIS system from IASIP




B - BEHAVE. Starting with the pre-game, you have to behave like the player in question knows no limits on the baseball diamond. They are a natural. Their talent is otherworldly. You alone recognize that they are on the doorstep of greatness, and your sole job for the entire series, regardless of what is actually happening on the field, is to inform the audience as well as your color commentator that you are all bearing witness to greatness in its purest form.

U - UNDERVALUE. Make sure to take away from any good players on the other team. Their efforts pale in comparison to what this young stud is doing on the field, how they are handling themselves, and the intensity that they are bringing to the game Jose Altuve? More like Jose Al-Who?-ve, right? Yeah he's hit a couple of HR and won the MVP in 2017, but Keke Hernandez has been red-hot for SIX GAMES!

C - COMMIT. You're not just the young player's biggest fan now, you're their new head cheerleader. When they are at the plate, you're saying that even their swings and misses are wicked fierce. If they hit anything in the air, you call it like "HERNANDEZ, CAN HE DO IT AGAIN?" and when the shortstop catches it in shallow left field you follow up with "WOW! HE JUST MISSED ANOTHER ONE!" Make sure you continue undervaluing the players on the other team. When the other team's big gun hits over the Green Monster, you say "That's going to be gone. That equals one run." Then cue the director to cut to a quick shot of your designated superstar and mention how locked in he is right now on defense.

K - KNEEL. Every time you're within 30 feet of the player get down your knees to let them know you think they're the greatest thing ever. Sing their praises and let them know that if there's anything you can do, anything at all, all they have to do is ask.

30 minutes until the most expensive baseball team ever put together takes the field to stave off elimination.

Regardless who you want to win, there's no reason we want it to end any earlier than game 7, right? Games 5-7 all 14 inning affairs.

Edit: not taking anything for granted, I just like to watch the world burn.
