Alex Bregman apologizes for the Astros stealing signs using electronic means

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Houston Astros players Alex Bregman and José Altuve said Thursday the team is sorry for its sign-stealing scheme that was investigated and punished by Major League Baseball.
“I am really sorry,” Bregman said.
Astros owner Jim Crane and new manager Dusty Baker — who replaced the fired AJ Hinch — also spoke at a news conference at the team’s spring training facility.
“We cannot take back what happened,” Crane said.
MLB did not punish any players for the cheating and Crane said he stood by that.
We’re not going to do anything to the players,” the owner said.
The investigation found that the Astros used the video feed from a center field camera to view and decode opposing catcher’s signs. Players banged on a trash can to signal to batters what was coming, believing it would improve chances of getting a hit.

Sounds like something you say when you’re... not sorry.

Some of the Astros players like Bregman and Altuva and managers like Hinch and Cora might need to go find work in Japan for awhile.

Well, I assume they get the Pete Rose treatment at the end of their careers?

Hasn’t this been going on forever in baseball? Didn’t people say Bobby Thompson’s walkoff was because of someone behind the scoreboard with binoculars stealing signals?

Screw that. The players still had to hit the ball. If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. The only difference now is there was one player who got his feelings hurt and wanted to be a bitch. This has been going on forever.

That whole PC was a fricking disaster.

" I am really sorry, that we got caught."

Can’t believe how this is being overblown. Everyone tries to steal signs - they were just the most successful.
It’s on the pitching team to change things up if you feel your signs have been decoded.

People here don’t love Bregman anymore?

Your title would suggest that a buzzer was used, JMO.
I think I know more than the average reader on the subject, and it was the first thing I thought when reading your title
Carry on.

This is hilarious following Mainieri's horribly awkward forced speech at his preseason press conference about how Bregman was innocent.
Mainieri begged the media to ask him a question nobody cared about, then gave his prepared speech - statistics included - and now Bregman comes out and personally apologizes after Mainieri made a fool of himself defending him.

Didn't Altuve swear up and down that he knew nothing about the stealing of signals? Said he would never cheat.
It seems like reversing his position is a sign of weaseldom.

Bregman is a colossal douche, but he’s good at baseball
100% of the people on this board would agree with the above statement if he didn’t play for LSU
