wow, there is deflating footballs... standing 2 inches outside the batter's box.. and then on a whole other level u have cheating that prompts the FBI and Justice Department into action.
|
Still pretty petty thing to do, even if it's hilarious that they just used his old passwords. Strange thing to do as well considering that everyone scouts everyone's guys nowadays.

The Cards just cheat the right way.

What secret information could they be trying to get?

I guess what they can get out of it is how the Astros assess their own guys? Helps them gauge better how much they would actually need to put on the table to snag whoever they might be looking at on the Astros.

I guess that makes sense, still the whole thing seems weird to me like have some faith in your own talent evaluation! You can figure out how another team values someone by asking them and then comparing your own assessment before making a trade offer.. haven't these guys ever played fantasy baseball??

access to medical records would give additional knowledge as well.
inside info on personnel problems. often when a guy is doing stuff like Jon Jones has been doing the team knows. borderline substance abuse issues etc.
teams never fully know about all a guys warts until they actually draft him and get him inside their organization.
the media likes to act like it knows everything about a baseball player. it does not. some people buy into the media acting like they know it all.
From 1983 until he retired Cito Gaston was the flat out best at picking up pitchers tipping off their pitches of any on field management. Often Cito would have a pitcher pegged for 3+ years before they figured out Cito knew.
now that Paul Molitor is a manager and that Cito is gone ...guys like Molitor , and Winfield discuss this...Bobby Cox will talk about it... however throughout Cito's career this subject was strictly forbidden.
edit: Molitor himself , come to think of it. his drop in production in his late 20s and mysterious resurgence in his mid-30s can only be explained away by 1 thing ....his love affair with cocaine.
who is currently the best sign stealer in the MLB? we'll never know because the guy that is best at it does not want any one to know because he wants to keep on stealing signals. we'll find out 20+ years from now when everyone is retired and peddling their baseball biographies.
outside observation never tells the whole story. if u have a shot at full access to inside information it must be tempting to go after it.

You go on a lot of weird tangents

|
Word is that they've been cancelling them. Dunno if this will do anything.

This is a fantasy article but it goes into detail how people were probably expecting a little too much out of Cano coming into this year (due to his contract) when nothing in his stat profile shows that he would deliver big numbers.

Cano again? here's the spiel
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/sports/482317-major-league-baseball-2015?page=2#31
comparing Cano to Brett? what because they both won the batting title at 23? meh.
if i were in AAA and wanted to increase my salary by an order of magnitude and get into the majors i'd consider steroids to make it happen.
I'm not taking steroids and damaging my life after baseball if i signed a 10 year deal and am financially set for life.
Cano ain't the guy juicing in AAA to increase his salary in the future.. Cano is the guy on the 10 year deal.

+ Show Spoiler +
this was worse imo. he was clearly out but ruled safe and denied the perfect game
|
the blue jays had the opposite of a perfect game last night. their starter gave up 7 runs without recording an out
no one can trade away pitching for hitting like Alex Anthopoulos can.
