I've decided to stop at about 10 of these stupid click bait shit articles about Astross "spies" stealing signs for advantage. Utter bull shit.
Just love how the East Coast MLB Illuminati media tries to make a mountain of a molehill, and attempt to unfocus the game from between the lines.
The concept of stealing signs has been around since as long as I have watched baseball (53 years), and no telling how much earlier. All part of the lore of the games. First and foremost, the biggest claims have always been a baserunner at second, then it became the spy with the binoculars at the outfield wall. Now, the Uber-paranoia crowd thinks that taking pictures of a dugout is really creative and high tech means in this silly business
Now think about it folks. Between the point when the catcher gives the sign to the completed pitch is about 3-7 second process. So somehow in this fairyland of plausibility, a batter has to somehow communicate with someone using an electronic device while trying to hit a 100 mph fastball. Come on..........
Finally... just want to make a couple of points......
(1) Note to AJ and the guys..... Don't let this stupid diversion take your focus off the prize. Let it get into their head. In fact throw out decoys so that that is all the Sox are thinking about. Kind of reminds me of Mike Scott back in the 1986 NLCS........ The Mets were so bent and worried about Scott scuffing the ball, they forgot the main intent was to hit the damned thing.
(2) MLB and their illuminati are probably in near panic mode in what they may think the ratings will be in a Milwaukee - Houston series. How better to deal with that, than manufacture some controversy,
(3) Cora is less than a year removed from being AJ's right hand man. IF this was a normal Astros tactic, wouldn't he have nipped it before even happening?, and Furthermore with Cora knowing, why would the Astros be stupid enough to employ it in Boston.

If I were AJ, I would have the whole team get a pair of binoculars and use them in unison in the first inning tonight.  |

I read one article where it said the Oakland players complained because the Astros were clapping in the dugout when nothing was going on...and the clapping was Houston's way of sending stolen signals. LOL

LOL I put that one up there with Leo Durocher claiming the Astros were cheating by turning on the Dome AC only when the Cubs were up to bat. |

Notice how immediately no one talks about it now. Yeah, because MLB and all of the teams really don't want a rectal examination on this issue. All 30 teams are involved, and have their own innovative ways of trying to get an advantage. I still believe this was a MLB-Media Illuminati distraction event. And based on last night, it might have helped toward their goal of a LA- BOS series. |

No doubt Mlb wants to see the Dodgers and Sox. Ratings galore.

And so now MLB has released no punishment or anything for the Astros. Seems like a scare tactic that worked out well as a distraction.

Maybe we can perpetuate the sign stealing story and make ourselves the MLB version of the Patriots. (just kidding) |

I really hope we pull this off and the Brewers also beat the Dodgers. It would be amazing if the ratings would be high because there are no east/west coast teams playing. Just like when Hillary lost the election. |

The media wants LA-Boston and the damn umpires and replay lapdogs will see that it happens.  |
