Which team was it, the Astros or Cardinals, that had the elaborate electronic snooping mechanism that they used on the other team?

Another reason for Dodgers fans to whine.

What? Cheating in Sports?

This is an outrage!!
Especially considering the history of flawless integrity in MLB. What is the world coming to?

Couldn't find it earlier but here is the whole game and started it at the Gattis AB.

Notice the 1-1, 2-2 pitch and when he notices it.

That's BS. Stealing signs is part of the game, but doing it the way the Astros did it is beyond the pale. They should be give a heavy punishment.

Yet somehow an assistant GM expressing exuberance over acquiring Osuna in the locker room after a win is what's outrageous about Astros team culture.

Not good. That pitcher should have ear-holed everyone until they tossed him.

That youtuber is somewhat famous as far as baseball youtubers go. I like his videos. He actually knows his stuff.

Strange take but okay. The sign stealing shit just came out yesterday.

Yeah but you get a better sense of it watching the live feed vs his. Not denying his knowledge more the fact the video loses out on how obvious it was.

Also from the game video, not sure if others did, but I didn’t listen to any AB’s prior. I did listen to the AB’s after and they didn’t do it because I think they knew they were caught.
