Isn’t that part of the game?

Batters look for “tells” every time they are at the plate or in the dugout.

So it’s a technology thing?

Why are they allowed to wear batting gloves?

They used a camera to steal signs all through the 2017 season, including the playoffs.
Then again for part of the 2018 season.

So cameras were used to steal signs.....relayed to batter at plate by banging on trash can. That seems like an unfair advantage.

If it matters that much, not sure fines and firing a manager or an AG or some fines is deterrent to stop others from doing the same. Forfeit of the WS win would be. Or probably forfeit of the season......as it's possible they got all the wins to get into the series by cheating all year long?

Using cameras is cheating, no two ways about it. That being said, this is the most interesting thing to happen in baseball in quite awhile. Sports in general are boring to watch. Everyone plays it safe for the most part. I need more trick plays, going for it on 4th down, donnybrooks, head first slides, and fun!

Would it still be cheating if they hired someone with a photographic memory to do the same thing they were doing with the cameras?

Btw, just rolled up on a double.

Yup it's cheating. Players looking for tells for a pitch isn't cheating much like a pitcher looking for tells that a runner is about to steal the base.

The Astros cheat get slapped on the wrist, Pete Rose makes a bet and is banned and can't even get in the hall of fame

Looks like cheating must be the thing to do in Massachusetts. Now the Bo-Sox are being investigated for it too.
Wonder if they used Kraft's video crew.

I think they are investigating them because the manager was previously affiliated with the Astros.

Nothing anymore then what Bret Farve did over inflating footballs that he admitted to or Jerry Rice admitting to using pine tar or stickum to catch the footballs better.He used to have alot of dropped balls until he started cheating.
