Best Hackers in Baseball!

"And the Cardinals with the steal of the draft! Literally."

Astros should absolutely explore civil penalties against the Cardinals.

As for what the MLB should do. I would think it starts with losing draft picks and fines, depending on how deep this goes, like for instance if the Cards management knowingly used stolen data. I don't know how you don't wipe out entire drafts classes for the Cards, or lose 5 years worth of first round picks.

I don't believe it, because all I ever hear is that the Pats are the ONLY team in sports that cheats, so how can this be that the Cards are being investigated?

Well MLB did kill one of their top prospects last fall and made it look like an accident. . . .

If this was the Pats being investigated, this thread would already have 10 pages with numerous shout outs for the "death penalty" even though there is no such thing in pro sports.

Hammerdown has no part of this because its speculation that seems to be at least partially based on fact

I feel like I need to be on a message board with fewer Pats fans for actual perspective on this

Ive said before that fans of other team see the Cardinals as the Patriots of baseball.

It took the Red Sox 6 games to beat these filthy cheaters in the world series. You're damn right I'm mad. I was promised a sweep like usual.

nice deflection -- FAIL!!!

I hope Manfred doesn't know Ted Wells.

Deflection? lol ok I actually consider being compared to the Patriots to be a pretty massive insult

Alright, enough about the Patriots you hacks.

More talk about how I hope the MLB drops the hammer on the Cards. Draft picks out the ass.

 

[gohusk]

Wow. People might actually face criminal charges for this one. If anybody here did what the Cards apparently did then they certainly would. But they got money and a good thing going with law enforcement so that will never happen.

I'm fairly certain hacking is a federal offense, so it seems likely whoever was directly involved will see some jail time.

Before that, maybe the Cards wouldn't mind sharing some of the information with the Red Sox. It would nice to have a prospect actually live up to the hype.
