      Matt Flynn Yes he does. It’s very clear about a lifetime ban for gambling. Gambling on games you’re involved is severely detrimental to the game. If people ever thing games are rigged or fixed the game goes away, and MLB knows it. Even in the Black Sox Scandal days, they knew it then.

      Except that if you try to look back at that season, the only conclusion you can draw stats-wise is that the benefits were very marginal. The home vs road numbers tell an interesting story of little-to-no benefits for the offense. Foolish Baseball did a good video on it. It ended up just being a really stupid thing to do rather than offering large benefits.

    @galoguevara6049 4 роки тому +1

    Bob Costas is 100% correct that cheating and stealing the signs is not only meant to unfairly help a batter hit a pitch (by knowing what's coming), but also about not swinging at a pitch. By knowing what's coming, the batter can lay off the pitch, in order to work the count to the batter's advantage (and adds more pressure on the opposing pitcher). But he left out another extremely important factor that unfairly helps. It helps the Astros' base runners. If the base runner also knows that a slower, off-speed pitch, away from the strike zone is coming (like in the dirt) - it means the catcher will will be slower to catch the ball, regain their balance, wind-up their arm, and throw the ball to his infielder. This means the base runner will have a much higher chance of stealing the base on those type of pitches (especially if they know its coming). The runner can take a bigger lead of the base, and take off immediately. Imagine a base runner easily stealing base to get into a scoring positions, or a double steal. This changes the dynamics of the at-bat, the inning, and the pressure on the opposing pitcher. This cheating has a big impact on the game.

When really they were using the TV in the dugout or tunnel, which every dugout has (bob costas said this himself in the clip) now and is used to help make challenges. I could be wrong about this but i haven't read anything or seen anything (so far) that states the Astros placed secret cameras around the Park. What i have seen is that they were using the center field camera that we see on TV. if they are studying film, its not incredibly hard to figure out signs and match them up to the pitch. Did they cheat? yes. was it sophisticated, intricate, incredibly intricate? naw.

    Baseball can't let catchers do signs anymore. It has to send the signs over phone/earpierce to the pitcher from the bench. If the catcher even puts his glove on the inside or the outside of the plate, batters will know which side it will be on. The catcher has to put his glove down the middle. To prevent wild pitches, both the catcher and the pitcher have to be fed signs over phone/earpiece so that the catcher knows it's going to be a slider on the bottom outside corner. If baseball doesn't do this or something like it the sport is literally finished.

    Once, my high school baseball manager thought another team figured out our activator signal, so we switched signals. They make phone apps that can figure out baseball signals, maybe instead of playing the blame game we should not keep the same signals for a 162 game season!

    Beyond knowing something is right or wrong, if you believe that something (e.g. decoding signs, PEDs, pine tar) is giving you an advantage, then why would you advertise it so others know about it and work to neutralize? The best advantage is the one others don't know you have. Not only that, but beyond knowing something is right or wrong, it is always better to have others believe that your success is only the result of your talent and hard work, rather than due to possessing and using some external edge.
