Randomly lashing out publicly in response to a non-accusation is totally something an innocent person does right?

 

Very Trumpian, which should play well with his fan base

Yeah...Ive got 8 years or so of mid-high stakes poker experience and that right there is the most obvious tell that Ive ever seen.

A week ago I assumed their punishment was gonna be in the neighborhood of the Cards' hacking scandal. A few days ago I wondered if we might see similar to the Braves' IFA scandal. Now? I wonder if that might be the floor.

Yeah this is bad, I think they gotta come down with something big. Lost draft picks/IFA $, a significant fine, possible player suspensions if they can prove which guys really were in on it, and coach and FO suspensions and bans should all be on the table.

Sean Doolittle just continues being awesome. Totally agree on new preventative measures to remove this stain from the game (hopefully forever).

Why would you have some nerd hauling basically a big ass TV around instead of just using a damn laptop?

I’m not overly tech savvy, but maybe it was easier to get the video to a TV vs laptop off the camera they had set up? It looks like the TV was hard wired (wires hanging down from the ceiling) vs having to use WiFi or something from the camera to a laptop. Also maybe they felt they needed a bigger screen to get a better look at the catcher signals vs like a 12” laptop screen?

I think it's more likely that they were too dumb to pull off what they they were trying to do without getting caught. Like, it's so hilariously high and low tech at the same time. There's no way they HAD to use a monstroso monitor or TV for this.

Yeah that too. Smart enough to be able to decipher the signs, but too dumb (or arrogant) to carry it out in a way that was smart/hidden.

"We're going to set up an elaborate camera relay to steal signs, and then execute it via whacking a trash can and hanging up a horsefeathering towel and hope that one intern doesn't trip and drop the monitor!"
