Was trying to find out more about the sign stealing situation. We know how JSP gets towards the fans -- because we ofc are the reason and are involved :lol:

Basically its
Red Sox used iWatch and Wifi(technology) vs. vocal communication -- gained time to be able to relay the stolen sign

The sign stealing isn't the illegal part as baseball has no written rules for this, but the advantage in communication from the technology used is indeed unfair.

Probably just a fine

it's a non story, the only reason it's a story because the yankees made it public.

Nah there is something to it.
We had a clear advantage in communication and should receive some sort of punishment.

sure, that's fine with me, doesn't make it a "story". Cheating in baseball isn't the same as cheating in other sports, remember the Cardinals scandal a year or two ago? FiveThirtyEight agrees with me. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/the-st-louis-cardinals-picked-the-right-league-to-cheat-in/

@PeteAbe

Per an MLB source today: “slap on the wrist” is what Red Sox can expect. Team cooperated and issue was short term.
