There was also an article written about the dodgers putting like 10 cameras in the outfield and having an entire team dedicated to watching those cameras, i wonder why? who knows!
https://www.si.com/.amp/mlb/2018/11...ce-play-rob-manfred?__twitter_impression=true It was a year before anyone really cared about the problem. The issue was more about all this cheating making games longer because of mound visits and sign changing.
There is a code amongst MLB players (and former MLB players) about this sort of stuff. Speaks volumes as to what happened to Mike Fiers for him to be coerced or upset enough to break that code. But honestly, if the media wanted to blow this thing wide open, it would just take a little bit of investigatory work with promise of protecting all sources… but as I’ve always said, Houston was an easy target all around (soft local media market, not many concerns of national media types burning connections with the teams, etc.).
What is the motives for Fiers to "snitch"?: Left off playoff roster Reprimanded by Hinch for headhunting Valbuena Getting shelled when he was scuffing baseballs And his DMs.
Twitter thread on MLB players saying cheating was widespread and Astros were scapegoats... Here's a few:
We know Altuve didn’t use the system. How the **** is his name still brought up? We have all the bangs on video. I’d like to see somebody in the media at least correct this aspect of it.
What do you mean "happend to Mike Fiers"? He was pissy that he was left off the 2017 playoff roster. Did he get any blowback for being a rat? Oakland fans praised him.
Looks like bellinger is getting his wish. Also looks like the dodgers may send him back to the minors where he can continue to strike out...

Guys, you dont get it. He is the trash can. I would be mad too if I was getting beat on all the time, but instead of a stick, its fastballs.
