"Our opinion is this didn’t impact the game ..."

BS BS BS.

[TexasKamaAina]

Did it affect the outcome of the game? I suppose it could be argued either way. But what can’t be argued is that it was intended to affect the outcome of the game.

[Ingtar]

I kept waiting for someone to ask, “If it did not impact the game, why did they risk breaking the rules to do it?”

[The Free Engineer]

We will see if Altuve bats .265 this year...

[HombreSecreto]

If their conduct didn’t (or wansn’t designed) to impact the game, why did they do it? Astros need to be stripped of the WS title and perhaps the pennant. Send a message.

[scouter]

And we should believe a cheater... why?

[Don Corleone]

Christos! Stealing signs is as old as prostitution. Get over it.

[ilgipper]

I thought he had handled this fairly well until now. That’s total crap. Both the Yankees and Dodgers got screwed.

In a seven game series, one team signaling pitches in real time certainly had an impact. Period. They would not have done it if there wasn’t an impact and in a close series there is no way I did not affect the outcome.

“Our opinion is this didn’t impact the game ...”

BS BS BS.
......

And voter fraud by the rats don’t impact elections. This guy deserves some Harry Reid exercise equipment time. ...lots of time. ..

[Michael.SF.]

So he is really saying that they cheated, but weren’t very good at it.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Perhaps I'm naive, but I always thought that stealing the other team's signs was part of the game.

[ThunderSleeps]

So if it doesn’t impact the outcome of the game, but is unethical and sets a bad example for young fans, gives the team a PR black eye... Why do it?

[Rocky Mountain Wild Turkey]

"This didn't impact the game." is the new "This is fine."

And, Epstein didn't kill himself.

[CathyWhite]

And I’m sure that Altuve knowing what pitches were coming -— had nothing to do with his signing a $150 million contract after the 2017 season.

MLB’s position is that none of the players who cheated should be punished. Nonsense.

[simpson96]

Wow.

[OrangeHoof]

Crane clarified his statement to mean that the commissioner’s report said there was no direct evidence that the sign-stealing impacted any particular game. There was no way to tell.

Personally, the dugouts and clubhouses are crawling with MLB people during the league championship series and the World Series that anyone banging on trashcans would be immediate noticeable. I don’t think they affected the ALCS or the World Series.

[FreeReign]

Altuve's walkoff HR in game 6 of the 2019 ALCS that eliminated the Yankees, was most likely Buzzer enhanced cheating.

And there's nothing preventing it from happening again.

Baseball is a sport of cheaters! It always has been!
