One non-Cardinals issue that I don't get it why are the players not being punished for cheating?
Knowing whether a fastball or off speed stuff is coming is a HUGE advantage to a hitter. To get that information through electronic means is a line that was crossed. Pete Rose never cheated to win a game. He bet on his own team to win. Wrong, yeah but lifetime ban. These players that cheated are getting off without any punishment. Why? |

Also they are very close to having to negotiate a new CBA and this would cause a massive issues with the players union. To add to your other point, anything involving gambling is going to be punished much much harder than stealing signs to win a game. |

In general, I agree but doesn't mean that cheating at this level, that influences that game so much goes unpunished, its going to happen again. I could set something up right now using simple bluetooth tech for the players that no one would ever find on them with a physical search. |

No it did happen, I read on ESPN that the players were all told they would be given no punishment, it was their way of getting them to speak on the issue. If anyone involved would get punished why would any of them have ever said anything?

Also I can get film from your catchers and coaches signals for years. Thrown those data points into big data and use A.I. analytics to tell you what is used for the key to change the signs, what is usually the sign for this or that. MLB cant stick their heads in the sand. This tech is easily available now for any john doe off the street. Some team is going to use it. |

It should be nothing but fastballs to the wrist for Bregman and Altuve for the next three years.

They could, but there are 145 other starting pitchers. They can't suspend all of them and Houston can't play star-for-star. I'm serious: break their wrists and this will never happen again. It's time for them to run the gauntlet.

Reds are winning the NL Central this year, STL, MIL, and CHI are all pretenders.

I guess now we know why Jeff Albert didn't get the same results as hitting coach for the Cards last year.
