WAIT this is the scandal?
A
Red Sox staff member in the replay room would pass along the pitcher's
sign sequence to a player. The
player would return to the dugout and inform the rest of the team.
A pitcher's sign sequence could sometimes be determined from previous appearances but the Red Sox would try to stay current with any changes by shuffling players to the video room.
Last bold is killing me lmao....teams are this dumb?
• The information would be sent to the baserunner, who would then look out for the catchers' signs and then use their body language to inform the hitter of what pitch may be coming.
• Red Sox players and staff members would go over communication methods for the day's game. The signs from the baserunner could come from stepping with one or two feet onto the bag or looking out into centerfield.
• This is different from the Astros, who used a live camera feed to steal catchers' signs and then hit a trash can in the dugout to inform the batters of the pitch type in real time.
I know the Astros didn't have to communicate with the players or anything. They just waited for a signal when the pitcher was set.
So the
Red Sox had players communicating in person with a replay staff member, then
went back to speak to the teammates about it...and the
players would take the info and
relay it to the hitters with body language while on the baseSo..... the camera zoom was the illegal activity? This is legit Spygate, no? (recording a few stories above what was legal)
