I think it was because the Stros system was specifically designed from a live camera feed. The Sox were just using the baserunner on second to stare at the catcher's fingers. Does seem a little different to me. Like if the Sox bench had figured out the 3b coach's signs and relayed those to the players, would that be illegal?

RHP Chih-Jung Liu, the hard-throwing 20-year-old from Taiwan the #RedSox signed in October, should arrive in Fort Myers on Friday or Saturday.
Sox are eager to get working with him.

Sale’s second side session since coming back from pneumonia. He threw on Monday as well.

Did you miss the post where I think 420 is reasonable for Betts? I don't think I would have given Harper his contract, because I just don't think he's close enough to Betts.
$1.2M constraint against the CBT for someone who may never make the show? IDK. I'd take that risk, but there were a lot of people on here quite concerned about the proximity to the CBT.
How would the communication work? Have the manager call all pitches through a headset? Give batters a headset too? What about fielders?
I'm ok with it if that's the direction they go in.
I wouldn't pay Harper for that, but it seems reasonable considering all of the money in baseball right now (tv contracts, team valuations, etc.). I do think there is a bubble coming at some point.
Betts was being reasonable.
And if you wanted others to stop talking about Betts, the worst way to do it is for yourselves to constantly talk about Betts and assume what other posters are going to say on some theoretical gamethread months from now.
I wonder if they aren't concerned about loading up on Quantril in April since he's only maxed out at 150 innings before. Maybe they'll be ease him in slowly?
