Am I misremembering something, but I vaguely recall a weird light flashing during the World Series against the Astros that was shining through the left field fence? I think it even stopped the game.

Can't remember if it was the Braves or not


I recall it. It was the red sox.

The thing that doesn't make sense to me about these accusations is that this should be theoretically pointless with pitchcom unless they managed to find a way to hack it. It would not surprise me if it was hackable. Just because someone says something is secure doesn't mean it is.

Hmmm interesting enough. Both san diego and philly have losing records during the day too. Maybe they should be investigated too…. Astros sitting at a nice 43-13 for day games.

I'd kick my own self in the nuts if I was born a Dodger fan.

Also highly likely Dodgers used video to steal signs just like the Yankees did.

The Dodgers 100% used video to steal signs. There's an article from SI in 2018 about it:
https://www.si.com/mlb/2018/11/02/surveillance-cameras-sign-stealing-baseball-dodgers-astros

Quote:

In Los Angeles, the Dodgers' video room three years ago played host to starter Zack Greinke watching for weaknesses in opposing hitters. This season, the set up has a much different objective.

This year, if you walked into the same room you would have found a small army of 20-something analysts in polo shirts and slacks pouring over video from the in-house cameras, like the security room at a Vegas casino. Most teams train their cameras on the catcher, the pitcher (from several angles), the third base coach and the dugout.

Some pitchers don't like pitchom and don't use it. However, at this point, I feel like if you choose not to use pitchcom, and you have your signs stolen, it's on you.

There you go.

Manfred has so far succeeded in his efforts to protect the Dodgers and Yankees from scrutiny.

Still funny that despite all the money and doing the same things the Astros and Red Sox did, those clubs haven't been as successful.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if a couple other clubs are protected. Think the MLB wants the Cubs breaking the curse in 2016 tarnished?

If you read that article, it just says they couldn't find stuff on Luhnow's phone that was found elsewhere. Therefore cheating!

This one still cracks me up with the Sox. 100 cell phones in the "bar" behind center field but one is ironically flashing none stop with Sox up and the moment TV broadcast first mentions it, it's gone…okay Boston.

MLB facing either San Diego or Philly in the WS for certain. I would not be surprised to see some questionable activities tomorrow at Yankee Stadium that just happen to benefit the home club.

Something about the Yankees this year makes me nervous. Flukey stuff seems to happen with them at their ballpark. As we saw in the Phillies/Braves and Padres/Dodgers, what you did against each other in the regular season means nothing.

Give me Cleveland tonight.

There is no scenario that I want the yankees to win. Them losing is enjoyable just below the astros winning.

So this is great! Yankees and Guardians playing later tonight. They have one day where they don't play baseball then Wednesday immediately back in the grind and have to play the Astros!

sucks to suck!

EDIT: And yes, in HOUSTON!

Both of these teams are favorable matchups for the Astros.

The Yankees BP is a mess. It's wrecked. And in a 7 game series where depth and arm management is crucial it becomes a glaring hole.

The Guardians offense isn't all that great. They've struggled to score runs all postseason.

Either way I like our chances. Just hope for complete chaos tonight.

I'm concerned about the Yankees only because of potential MLB favoritism. With the current remaining field, the Yankees are the only MLB darling left, so you know Rob Manfred would try to pull some shenanigans to keep them in it.

There is no doubt in my mind t their cheating got disrupted - the results were night and day.

IDK if it was the light thing, or if the Stros just adjusted the way we were calling pitches, but once they stopped knowing the pitch they didn't hit ch*t the rest of the series.
