OT Red Sox caught cheating

And a counter claim against the Yankees for doing the same/similar thing. Maybe not with electronic devices but otherwise I don't even see why sign stealing would be illegal. For example, if a guy on second can somehow give the better a heads-up about the pitch coming or its location, more power to'em I say.

True, but can we at least agree the Patriots are a bunch of cheaters?

There's a difference in a big way - HUGE way. One is baseball the other is plain cheating. Caught red handed and I have more for you soon. A video on Kelly the other night. Soon!

9 for 24 with RISP in that series they are alluding to, the rest of all Yankee games this year they are 11-115 with RISP. LOL
 
Both sides have accused each other. Weird way to restart the rivalry but whatever works I guess.

Sure, whatever, I'm not a Pats/Boston fan. I've just never understood the sanctity of not stealing signs in baseball. It should be part of the game in my opinion. I would agree that the use of video or other electronic devices should not be allowed. Beyond that, go for it.
 
So the Sox are accusing the Yankees of cheating through the YES Network lol, you all should watch Felger and Mazz right now its pure gold.

Well there's evidence of them streaming games on an iPad in the bullpen which is against the rules (not that anyone should care)

A guy on second stealing signs = part of the game.

Having your training staff use Apple watches to steal signs= Very Bostonian

You can't use electronic devices to steal signs.

You are seriously going to compare that to using an electronic device? Please tell us you're smarter than that.

I wouldn't have noticed. I would have fell asleep if I was watching a baseball game. Better than no-doze. Also it seems to me that there is an abundance whining in baseball. That is why I am convinced Jim Boeheim is a baseball fan.

Not a Bosox or Yankees fan but don't tell me no other team has not thought of or done this.
To be frank - if my Cubbies did it I would consider it a stroke of genius - pretty soon it probably will become the norm and signaling will take a whole new twist
If you think its only a Boston thing you are crazy. Ive seen so many players and coaches wearing those apple watches this year - including Yankees. In fact, during the spring, a guy at work commented on why so many guys in the bullpen and dugout are wearing them - never thought anything about it besides maybe they are looking at their email or facebooking.
Why is it that the Yankees are always first to cry foul?
 
1990's auggie22: yankee fans try to make me feel inferior for liking a team that loses a lot to their team.

2010's auggie22: yankee fans try to make me feel inferior for liking a team that undeniably wins more than their team, but MIGHT try a little harder to reach those outcomes.

I like where we are today much more than where we have been.
