Astros Sign Stealing.

I finally started looking into this.

It says double bang to Springer on the 0-2 count in the first inning, I only heard one, but yes, there was something.

Here's an interesting AB.

Go to 1:01:21.

2nd inning.

4 bangs on the first 4 pitches.

Should have been a bang on the 5th pitch, but there wasn't. He hits a HR anyways.

I don't always hear the bangs when it says there's bangs. But for some of them, yes, I do hear it.

In this next game, it is really audible in this 12 pitch AB against Beltran.

Go to 2:03:27.

I think it helps that the crowd wasn't as loud, due to it being a blowout. Makes it easier to hear.

Bunch of cheaters- the MLB needs to vacate their championship and award it to the Dodgers. Perhaps there needs to be a congressional investigation to force that, but obviously that's not the top of anyone's list for now.

That's just unbelievable how well the Dodgers did despite all that cheating by the ASStros.

I agree with vacating the championship.

I don't think it should be awarded to anyone, though.

I wish the Sign Stealing Scandal website had more of the playoffs games, than the initial few.

I don't think it should be awarded to anyone, though.

Just curious why you think that. I think the Dodgers should get it because it went 7 games, showing how close things were. The players worked so hard to get to that point only to have cheaters prevail over them. I absolutely believe the Dodgers should be awarded the championship. It's like a grand slam tennis finals match- if one player defaults by cheating, umpire abuse or whatever reason, then the other player gets the trophy.

Because the Astros were cheating the entire year.

They might have won a different amount of games, or lost to the Yankees in the ALCS, which went 7 games.

If they were only cheating in the World Series, then I'd agree. But they were cheating all year long.

Maybe they don't even get past Boston.

If the Yankees make the World Series, I'd probably pick the Dodgers, but who knows, that's why they play the games.

Both Astros-Yankees and Astros-Dodgers had 2 games decided by 1 run.

On another note, do you remember in this year's Astros playoffs against Tampa Bay, winner take all game 5 Tampa Bay starter Tyler Glasnow gave up 4 runs in the first, and then said he was tipping his pitches? I wonder if there was something going on.

Even after the game, the Fox studio crew said that the players had picked up on a sign, because some of the pitches they took, they didn't flinch and acted like they knew what was coming.

@Jomboy had a video and broke down Glasnow's and the catcher's sign relaying pattern, and showed that Glasnow was tipping his pitches with his glove position.

But still, the Astros could have had their own surveillance system too.
