Really no reason to announce it until well after the Super Bowl, even if they already know what they're going to do. Although releasing it on, say, Friday afternoon 2 days before the Super Bowl would be a nice way for the lead to be buried. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsher then anything Goodell ever did to the Pats for cheating. But yeah...I know...48 hrs later the trendy thing to do is argue that it's not harsh enough.

I don’t think they are doomed to fail. They have a good team and Steve Cohen is coming soon.

Jackass taking away 4 draft picks that saves the team 7 Mil... fining them 5 Mill leaves them 2 Mill in the black and without 4 prospects... big deal. They lose a GM and manager that weren't well liked. Why do you think this is harsh? Pete Rose got a permanent ban for less. Syracuse was vacated 101 wins and a national title. Yet a slap on the wrist and firing of a GM and Manager is harsh... Give me a break... and grow up... learn how to have a conversation. And no... The Pats got even less then a slap on the wrist... so no that wasn't harsh either. I can (and do) think that they are both weak it terms actual punishment, and also acknowledge that this was slightly harsher then what Goodell gives out. Both can be true. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They needed a manager to connect with the players... not love them to death and allow them to run the clubhouse. They needed a culture changing coach and Beltran would have been it. I like Perez but I am not sure he doesn't get hired by the Red Sox before the Mets make a decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Perez but I am not sure he doesn't get hired by the Red Sox before the Mets make a decision. I don’t disagree with you. Like I mentioned I didn’t like the hiring. The good news is that Cohen wants to win from what I have read..longtime Met fan. He will not Brodie’s and Beltran’s ass out if they miss the playoffs again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUM-KNEE Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Is sign stealing a common thing in baseball? I don't follow baseball, can't stand it really. But I have heard of this before years ago. Just wondering if it's some rampant thing in the sport, or just a few outliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if it's some rampant thing in the sport, or just a few outliers.It's rampant, but it is allowed as long as you're not using electronics etc. A runner on 2B can try to steal signals, and signal back to the batter. What you can't do is set up a camera in CF zoomee on the catcher, set up a monitor adjacent to the dugout to view what the camera is seeing,band sit a group of players there to interpret the signals and relay to the batter as he's hitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks So how do they tell the batter what's coming for a pitch?The Astros were banging a garbage can loud enough to be heard on the TV broadcast for off speed pitches.For standard sign stealing, the runner on second uses a simple sign, they change it but sometimes a clap, open hand to the batter, anything visible to the batter but not obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
