It's just a shame the Yankees never get a fair chance to compete on a level playing field. All the adversity that team faces year in and year out and now this. Really unjust. . .

Understandable comment, if it came from a Twins fan

Not the $200 million mercenary Sox

Taking a page from Bill Cheatichick's book, the Red Sox are being investigated by MLB for using an apple watch to steal Yankees signs

Other than the fact the there is no rule in MLB about stealing signs, you make an excellent point.

Non story. Every team looks for an advantage. Yanks need to start hitting with RISP and the Sox middle relief needs to stop shitting the bed. 2 games in the loss column separate them with 25-26 games to go. That's the only story I'm interested in

Just PV being a homo, per usual.

Boston also filed a report against the Yankees for using YES network to relay signs. U missed that part?
According to reports, Boston has admitted to the cheating, though... so big difference, thus far.

Stealing signs is a time honored tradition in baseball cheating. I love making fun of Boston as much as the next guy, but I am pretty confident every team does it. The Red So should get a slap on the wrist and do it better next time.

I don't doubt that many teams in MLB try to gain an edge in this area... Boston was just stupid?/unfortunate? enough to get caught in this instance.

I doubt they would admit to it unless they were caught red handed.

I dunno man. I'm not following the story closely, but it sounded like there was video.

Going 8-11 vs a team you're supposed to dominate AND get caught cheating?

Bad look

Gonna have to suspend Farrell for the rest of the season, including postseason. Dammit.

Don't tease me! That would be the best thing to happen to the Red Sox since they crushed the Yankee's hopes and dreams in 2004.

If they were taking a page from Belichick's playbook, then it would've actually, y'know, worked.

Farrell's such an idiot he can't even cheat effectively.

You can have the 8-11, we'll take the division. Surely the Yankees will get a trophy for that.
