    Astros stole signs

    Cheaters

    Former Astros pitcher Mike Fiers spoke on the record about Houston's sign-stealing system at Minute Maid Park, which included a TV monitor with a feed from a center field camera near the dugout steps. Astros players would try to decode their opponents' signs and then alert hitters if an off-speed pitch was coming by banging on a dugout trashcan, per the report. In fact, listen to this one

    In 2017, the Astros scored 395 runs at home...501 on the road.

    -They went 48-33 at home....53-28 on the road.

    My opinion is to not have a knee-jerk reaction. I'll wait for more information before I have an opinion.

    Here's a short video of Danny Farquar catching on to something.

    Personally, I've always liked Joe Girardi and hearing his take on things even if I agree/disagree with him.

    There's video of them doing it in the '17 WS now too, except with whistling rather than the bat banging. I'm fine with trying to steal signs the old fashioned way with a runner on 2nd base, but this is ridiculous. MLB needs to bring down the hammer on these bums.

    Yasmani Grandal on the Astros' sign-stealing scandal: "They're doing whatever they can to win. If you're not cheating, you're not trying, I guess. It got them a ring. ... The past is the past. It happened. People found out. Now, let's do something to fix it and keep on going."

    Coincidence that the Astros and Red Sox have won 2 of the last three World Series?
    It's amazing watching people show this on Youtube....you hear a thud from a trash can to signal an off speed pitch and then spring immediately hits a moon shot. Insane.

    Read Trevor Bauers ' Twitter feed in the last 24 hours. He is roasting these Astros and loving it.
