“Much ado about nothing.
Figuring out what the signs are has always been part of baseball”

Really?.... If the Pitcher or Catcher is tipping the pitch to the Batter, Base Coaches or opposing Teams Dugout is one thing. That in real time is difficult with the Catchers fingers buried in their crotch. The cheating Astro’s and Red Sox (2018) having there own Camera Crew in Center Field feeding the Catchers signal in real time back to the Dugout is just wrong. Broadcast TV feeds are delayed by about seven seconds so its a non starter for those looking for excuses.

Did you really just post that?
Knowing that people on this forum would read it.

How many hundreds or thousands of books written as long ago as the nineteen thirties have featured someone stealing signs with a pair of binoculars, talking into a microphone connected to a private phone or even a radio?

Where do you think that damned worn out literary cliche came from?

There is no new technique here, just more expensive equipment.

And for all your passionate ranting...baseball is still boring.
