behind a pay wall on the athletic but the article lays out that the astros had a camera in center field and it relayed signs to a television screen in the dugout. also suggests that other teams are doing the same thing which is something baseball really needs to get control of

I never saw a camera in center field.

Well I guess they thought they were victims of cheaters, so what the hell, let's do it too!

Send them back to the NL Central as punishment.

I imagine this is covered in the article, but at one point one of their employees was caught with one of the Huahei (sp?) phones with machine learning capabilities. Those phones are banned in the US.

Said it in the Astros thread but in the article it says it started with two uniformed people early in 2017 (including one player who was struggling and benefitted from sign stealing with another team) devising their own system.

Pretty obvious the player is Beltran if you connect the dots

Maybe have radio communication from the manager to the pitcher and catcher, so the signs are different every pitch.

Make better signs, adjust.

I don't see a problem with this tech

Edit: I am not a baseball fan at all

Change your signs then. Not hard to do

Also the way it’s described I don’t see how you could possibly use it during a playoff game. Banging a trash can in a hallway behind the dugout and a guy in the batters box will hear it? It’s so gd loud in that place during most playoff games

By the way, the Astros scored 106 more runs on the road and had a 53-28 record away from MMP compared to a 48-33 record at home.

So whatever picture this writer is training to paint, it looks like shite.
