Trout is the AL MVP.

Three at 28 years old. Have a feeling we will see a few more.

Astro's cheating compilation including 2017 WS. Notice the bangs for different pitches. The great Houston batting was due to cheating. Also remember the Yankee's accused them of using whistle queues to steal signs in 2017. No one thought to much of it then. Looks like it was true.



Also a Jomboy video on the recent sign stuff.

I'd still be really surprised if it results in more than a fine and some bullshit vague policy language how cheating is bad and there might be more punishments for future transgressions.

I don't see how anyone can look at that and not recognize how massive of a competitive edge that is. That's fucking insane.

The MLB will probably pussy out, but holy fuck.

Pretty nice breakdown from Jomboy on this whole thing. The lengths that the Astros went to on this is pretty fucking bad.

Makes you wonder if we are almost at the point where pitchers & catchers will be giving the 'ok' to wear some sort of ear piece or "thumper" sensory device to communicate secretively.
