So is it safe to assume Astsro's players are going to get buzzed inside a lot more next year, particularly the cocky Bregman - he of the let me carry this bat to first and hand it to my coach fame? Or was the sign stealing pervasive enough around the league where teams are just happy it was the Astros that were caught? I wonder if there were any pitchers who could conceivably have missed service time milestones as a result of getting hammered then released or sent down? How much, if any, of Altuve's power increase can be attributed to the sign stealing? So many questions.

I saw something on Twitter that said kintzler blew his 30th save against them that would have given him a bonus.

Yup in 2017, he finished with 29 and a significant bonus would kick in at 30. Though he did have 6 blown saves that year and it’s not like Mr. BABIP is typically untouchable.

I feel pretty confident he won’t look at it that way.

If you're the first pitcher to face them don't you have to drill him with the first pitch and then just shrug your shoulders and say "Well I just assumed they'd have a sign for inside heat, my bad."

This is a good point and I'm wondering what we label this scandal. I'm sure we can come up with some good ones here...

Nothing is going to top that one...

What a horsefeathers. Garbage cans, cameras and a closed circuit TV aren’t advanced technology you horsefeathers. It’s dirty rotten cheating.
