  12. jacksonianmarch. #yourteamcheatstoo buh bye boone Logan Morrison doesn't believe MLB's sign-stealing problem ends with the Houston Astros. The Milwaukee Brewers first baseman wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post he believes other teams have been guilty of similar infractions. "I know from first hand accounts that the Yankees, Dodgers, Astros, and Red Sox all have used film to pick signs," he wrote, per NJ Advance Media's Brendan Kuty. "Just want you guys to know the truth. I personally think it's a tool in a tool belt to pick signs, but if we are going to be punishing people for it. Don't half ass it."
  13. the horses head in cora's bed probably help them come to a "mutual agreement"
  14. this one was started by a yankees troll that sits by his keyboard waiting for any negative news on the Red Sox to immediately start a thread about it. the other one was started the day Cora was hired as per Slasher tradition for the new hiring of a GM or Manager....
  15. / thread closed
  16. i would like Tito back. thank you.
  17. From the Houston investigation... Alex Cora’s involvement The report sums up Cora’s role as: “Cora was involved in developing both the banging scheme and utilizing the replay review room to decode and transmit signs. Cora participated in both schemes, and through his active participation, implicitly condoned the players’ conduct. I will withhold determining the appropriate level of discipline for Cora until after the DOI completes its investigation of the allegations that the Red Sox engaged in impermissible electronic sign stealing in 2018 while Cora was the manager.’’ Here are the details on Cora’s involvement: Cora began calling the replay review room “early in the season’’ in 2017 to get information on signs. Sometimes, the info was communicated via text message to a staffer wearing a smart watch on the bench or a nearby phone. Two months into the 2017 season, Cora arranged for a staffer to install a monitor right outside the Astros dugout that showed the center field camera feed. Players normally used the feed in-game to adjust their swings. The Astros used it to decode signs. Players would determine a sign and send a message to the hitter by banging on a trash can. Takeaway: It means Cora had an outsized role in the most notable scandal originally reported by The Athletic in November. The scheme is described as “player driven.’’ ■ The investigation did not find the Astros used the banging scheme in 2018; but the replay room was used to decode signs and send them to the dugout. That process stopped sometime during the season “because the players no longer believed it was effective.’’ Takeaway: After Alex Cora left the team to take over as Red Sox manager, the use of the replay room dissipated. The investigation didn’t find evidence the Astros cheated during the 2018 postseason. ■ Manfred said that because Cora was “an active participant in the scheme’’ and that Hinch was aware, players may have thought the behavior was encouraged.
  18. not sure why bring up PR in this discussion? did we bring up some white European nation when pedroia was playing apple watch?
  19. roenicke was probably the one pushing the button on the remote that vibrated the hitters batting glove everytime an offspeed pitch was coming. the whole coaching staff needs to be cleaned out IMO. they are all complicit. they are all dirty.
  20. only if the initial leaked reports are true that the Red Sox only utilized the electronic sign stealing with a runner on 2b. what if the batters were wearing vibrating pads under their batting gloves and the clubhouse was sending signals for every pitch via CF camera view of catcher? WTF has left the door open for every and all cheating speculations to be thrown at the Red Sox and deservedly so. 2018* Thanks Cora!
