Award-winning sports broadcaster Bob Costas describes the method the Houston Astros illegally used to decode and communicate the opposing teams' pitching signs during their 2017 championship season. #CNN #News
Bob Costas explains the intricate system Houston Astros used to steal signs
Let’s hope that the Pats have just as stiff a penalty for their 3rd instance of cheating.
@Hank Logsdon No he doesn’t you moron lmao
3rd their wasn’t a second a judge threw out the NFL’s argument the pats were cheating with footballs then the comish went back to court for the right to suspend any player any time for what ever he wants and he won that case
Slap on the wrist
Not really. They’re likely never going to get another MLB job because that type of suspension, including what it was for, will hang around their necks like a scarlet letter.
They’ll be tainted for the rest of their lives. When Jose Altuve enters Cooperstown in 15, 20 years, what will the media, fans say when he gets the call?
@gfear24 Its’ a slap on the wrist because no players were suspended and the owner pretty much got off scot-free.
Dodgers were cheated out of two Championships.
@Ryan Brinks LA and NY should split Houston and Boston’s draft picks.
@Lioninthenight I don’t follow your rationale when 2 of the 4 games that it took to win the series was won on Dodger field. The Dodgers’ key players(Turner,Seager,Belliger,Puig) just did not hit and Hinch out coached their manager. And that’s the facts, not speculation.
@Calffrey Turner The fact is the Astros cheated. They cheated throughout the series. The Dodger beat them on their home field, too. And game 5 wouldn’t have been close had the Astros not cheated. The Dodgers scored 12 runs that game both fairly and the right way. They would have won the game. Dodgers win that game then the series would have ended in game 6 when Dodgers won 3-1.
@Lioninthenight Every team in the league is guilty of stealing signs.
I admit that the Astros took it too far by using technology but you are incorrect to think that the Dodgers would absolutely have won that series if not for this cheating issue. In addition, I predict the Astros will this season again win 100 games and make it back to the World Series. They are just too stack. They have 6 players(Bregman, Altuve, Corea, Springer,Verlander,Alverez) in their lineup that are in the top five in their league(AL) at their positions. No other team in the major league can make that claim. Yes, Cole is gone, but there are some young horses down on the farm and we will have Corea back at full strength and Alverez for a full year.So, keep crying, you sore losers and watch the Astros keep kicking your asses. And that’s all I got to say!!
@Calffrey Turner You have have zero to say. I already have given you ample evidence why the Dodgers would have won the series had the Astros not cheated. Both teams had access to a center field video feed at home and on the road. The fact is the Astros used it for cheating, and the Dodgers did not. Dodgers farm system is the best in the majors. Bellinger, Muncy, Seager, Turner, Verdugo are better than what you have. The Astros should have their rings and trophy confiscated from them. They will forever have an asterisk by their name. They didn’t win anything.
“Cheating stinks” lol
Yeah it smells like fart
Adam Leovick: And that’s funny, why? You must be 22 or younger.
Rodrick Evans just funny how a grown man sounds like a kid playing tag.
🏒
I hope the DODGERS PROTEST TO MLB THIS IS A OUTRAGE
They did not cheat on the WS
@neirad537 Houston definitley did. That’s the whole point you idiot
Astros won in dodgers stadium 🤔
Reinstate Pete Rose…
this one a agree with
Graham ********* And Joe Jackson
Cheating in sports Nooo I would’ve never guessed look at all the other sports
Does Bowling have this problem.
ONLY PAYOFFS, THE $$ “PENALTIES” ARE PAYOFFS. AND THE GAME GOES ON
They need to revoke the rings, erase the teams entire season including the WS victory
YouTube should take down all their stupid WS videos. Bunch of lies!! LA WAS THE BETTER TEAM!!
So where should the money that the owner made go?
They need to execute the coaches by drawing and quartering, enslave their children and take all their women. Then they need to erase the team’s name and ostracize their families for 5 generations.
And strip all the steroid home run users of their stats like Bonds, McGwire, Sosa? The home runs happened the games happened put an asterisk next to the championship but it dam well happened.
@onevato LA sucks
Kinda like the amphetamines in the coffee from the 1940s till banned by mlb 2006
Looking back at MLB 2K18 the Astros game options did include camera sign stealing on/off .😁
Love Bob Costas👍
This is a MLB issue–investigate all. Interesting to hear Correa’s stories–who gave him the “OK”. Crane ” throw them under the bus! save a lot of $$$.
“Clandestine” Costas always uses the most intriguing vocabulary
I’m glad he brought up the advantage the astros had knowing when not to swing. That’s a huge advantage when pitchers lose their ability to make batters chase pitches.
The “CHEE-TOS” 😂😂
I’m with Pete Rose’s comments on this, Any player who knowingly used the info at the plate must be suspended and fined.
Alex Cora’s been fired as Red Sox manager.
