The weird thing is they had a better record on the road in 2017-2018. They were almost unbeatable at home in 2019 though.

And ironically they lost every game at home in the World Series... Maybe the Nats were onto it and made dam sure no pitches were getting tipped off... Crazy stuff....

Probably brought the hidden cameras on the road with them.....I can see it right now, Bregman and Springer lowering down Altuve on wires like Mission Impossible to put the camera in place in CF as AJ Hinch and Verlander ran the wires to the dugout tv....

Yeah, little leagues are putting hidden cameras in CF to steal signs

That seems awfully broad when I'm not sure it needs to be. I've never heard of a Little League team using high tech cameras to steal signs but it may have happened somewhere. And if it was I'm sure that it was punished.

But I mean signs being stolen it happens all the time

Even if it's proven true, sign stealing in and of itself isn't against any rules in the official rulebook, it's more of an unwritten rule. However, using technology to do so is against the rules. So IF anything happens, it will most likely be similar to Boston using Apple watches a few years ago, they can be fined or hit with forfeited draft picks and international spending money. But no games, titles, will be stripped from them.

It's the use of technology etc to steal signs that's illegal, not sign stealing itself, which is more of an unwritten rule/code.
