If you are going to blow this thing open by tweeting about it and claim to have addition proof....why not just blow it open with the proof right now? If you have pics post 'em up.
Also, if he has to protect himself from teammates ripping his shirt off to hide the cheating device does that mean they don't know?
Fortunes are made tweeting, posting, alleging innuendo and unsubstantiated accusations.
Whatever is true or not no longer matters. Astros and any position player on the 2017/18 roster have a red "C" stamped on their forehead. It will be there for a lifetime.
If inside the game it was known that signs were being stolen and relayed in real time, why didn't teams change to a different sign system? The yell out of apparently random numbers/color with a wristband a 12U softball team uses would suffice.
Stros are now marked as cheaters - agreed. But to me it does matter if this (seemingly far fetched) buzzer allegation turns out to be true, because it shows a much more coordinated and advanced system of cheating? And it impacts 2019 whereas the existing taint is to 2017-18? It could all be BS, but this is a different level above and beyond banging on a trash can lol.
Don't say red "C" because that is the Indians new logo on their hats that replaced Chief Wahoo!
Thinking about it now, maybe that is why Cleveland never wins anything - b/c they don't cheat?? Just a theory....
