Funny thing is the Astro's didn't need to cheat. Cheating seems to be a common theme in New England however. Guess the Red Sox had a seminar with Belicheck. Alex Cora was the orchestrator of the Astros cheating before he moved on to Boston. Yep. GM and coach were suspended even though the report shows they had nothing to do with it. The league discipline is among the harshest ever delivered by a commissioner, with Luhnow and Hinch banned until the day after the final game of the 2020 World Series despite neither having involvement with the scheme -- and Hinch twice protesting by trying to damage the monitor used in the scheme. No punishments for the players though. Can't do that... there is no way he didn’t know about it, it’s his team. He was in full control and if something that noticeable was going on he could have put a stop to it if he really wanted to. Hinch allegedly destroyed the monitor being used to steal signs twice, but never disciplined or otherwise tried to stop it. Monitors/TVs can be bought for a few hundred bucks, so while maybe not on board with it, he didn’t do much to stop it either. But he was aware of it. Understandable that he would be punished. Cora is screwed, though. He was behind it in two places. It will be interesting to see how harshly he is punished. I’m predicting banned for life. Still, interesting to me is that the league found it to be player-driven, but no players are being punished. And I can’t wait to see how the sanctimonious baseball writers of America treat players when voting for the hall of fame.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

The HOF is a JOKE as long as the guy with the most hits ever isn't in it...screw the HOF and screw the guys that don't vote him in. It's disgraceful!
I'm with Sapper.

I bet that’s the biggest reason Nolan stepped away
He knew they were dirty

Someone broke their home vs away player stats
They were ridiculous and it’s clear they were cheating
I say take their WS title away Astros won more road games than home games that season.

I bet a lot of teams would be willing to pay $5million and give up a couple draft picks to win a World Series. Either strip the WS title from them, or figure out exactly what the financial benefit was to the team and players and fine them that amount, which would be a TON more than $5mil. Also make them not eligible for the playoffs for 5 years.

Paalease have some cheese with that wine. This was the most ridiculous and farcical effort MLB ever started. Might be right up there with the DELTA HOUSE articles of impeachment. You do realize that “signs” aren’t even in the rule book. It’s a convenience for the catcher. But don’t worry, 30 days from now this will be a big SO WHAT. As a face saving result, MLB will double down on the RED SOX next; bigger market more press. You really can’t make this stuff up....or can you?
