“Exactly. Who gives a flying fig?”
Uhhhh the Red Sox, Yankees and Dodgers for a start. Of course the next year the Red Sox went all in with “if you can’t beat them join them” and hired Coach Alex Cora from Houston (the cheating ring leader) as their Manager and low and behold they cheated to a Championship as well.
Much ado about nothing.
Figuring out what the signs are has always been part of baseball.
But the game is too boring for the twenty first century, so we see a manufactured scandal to try make people with more interesting things to do pay attention.
It won’t work of course.
Even the scandal is boring.
The Yankees have nothing to complain about. Their fans have been moaning all over sports radio about how the Astros screwed them in the 2017 ALCS, but it wasn’t Houston’s hitting that did the Yankees in. In the four games played in Houston the Yankees were shut out twice and scored a grand total of TWO runs. Stealing signs had nothing to do with that pathetic ineptitude at the plate.
