According to league sources, allegations against Houston in the 2019 ALCS extend beyond hitting coach Alex Cintron's whistling, which inspired third base coach Phil Nevin to tell Houston third baseman Alex Bregman, "Tell your f-cking hitting coach I'm going kick his f-cking ass." SNY has learned that the Yankees also complained to the league about blinking lights in center field early on in Game 6 at Minute Maid Park -- just days after Hinch responded angrily to SNY's report about the whistling. Imagine the hubris required to keep cheating after that. The blinking ceased after the early innings. www.sny.tv/yankees/news/the-yankees-got-screwed-allegations-highlight-how-astros-sign-stealing-robbed-chunk-of-championship-window/312018764 |

It was rather stupid for MLB to not have addressed this earlier as the use of video and electronics in general became more sophisticated. You simply can’t run a professional sport with “gentleman’s agreements” or “unspoken code”. Of course, it is difficult to legislate that which had not happened previously, but c’mon... If you were a league exec you should have been able to see this one coming...I wasn’t stunned by it... |

www.boston.com/sports/boston-red-sox/2020/01/07/red-sox-sign-stealing-2018-allegationsTwo months after the Houston Astros were accused of using an illegal sign-stealing scheme in 2017, new allegations have emerged regarding the Red Sox in 2018. According to a report from Ken Rosenthal and Evan Drellich of The Athletic, the Red Sox illegally used the video replay room to help gain knowledge of other teams’ sign-sequencing during the team’s World Series run that season.

If there is a team that can be proven innocent of similar shenanigans, I’d be quite surprised...I don’t like either of those two teams, but I wouldn’t be surprised at any team added to the list, including the Bombers... Bad boys Bad boys Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha’ gonna do When they come for you?... |

Orioles and Tigers cheated last year so they can be good at it by the time their windows open in the 2040’s...

Somehow I doubt that Houston and Boston were the only teams doing something like this. Much as I like seeing Boston get hit with this, I'm going to be cautious about getting too judgmental. Boston's scheme seems to involve too many moving parts to be effective, but it was at least more subtle than Houston's.
