Normally, a team knows you can steal signs when there’s a guy on second. They know if the catcher doesn’t hide the signs well enough the dugout or base coaches can steal signs. If they catch a batter looking back at the signs in an AB, they call time and nail him.
If you don’t know there’s a camera watching you flash signs and relaying the signs to the batter - it is cheating.
And I’m an Astros fan.
You dont think there have been guys with binoculars out there for years?
I want to know the specific rule that was broken. They were tapping on a trash can to signal the batter.
I do agree it's some sort of cheating....but were specific rules in place to guard against their method?

You should look into the whole story, for years there were complaints from all around baseball on the astros and a couple other teams. These teams were notified to stop doing what they were doing and they were brazen, braggadocios, and smug about it so they got caught.
it really is that simple too

Careful now. You might end up talking about a big market team formerly of New York who won a nl pennant sometime between March 1951 and October 1951. We can’t have a New York team implicated in this

Yeah - if they are communicating with players during the game, that’s illegal too.
