Maxman Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Mark Teixeira torches Red Sox legends in Astros cheating feud Former Yankees star Mark Teixeira on Monday called out Red Sox legends David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez after the two ripped Athletics pitcher Mike Fiers for exposing the Astros’ cheating ways. In two separate interviews in the last few weeks, Ortiz labeled Fiers a “snitch,” while his former teammate Martinez said the former Houston righty was a “bad teammate” for waiting two years after he left the organization to come forward with what has become the biggest baseball story of the offseason. “I just think there are very few people out there that really even use the word snitch or rat anymore anyway,” Teixeira said on ESPN. “This isn’t ‘Goodfellas.’ This is the real world. In the real world, you want bad things brought to light. You don’t want people cheating.” For the most part, Fiers has been praised for blowing the whistle on the Astros, who were long suspected in baseball circles of cheating. Teixeira retired a season before Houston began illegally stealing opponents’ signs in 2017, when the Astros beat the Yankees in the ALCS on their way to winning the World Series. “Players that are clean, whether they are in the steroid era or anybody that wasn’t on the Astros, they want these guys outed, they want the Astros punished,” Teixeira said. “So for David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez or anybody, it’s interesting it’s two [ex-]Boston players and Boston is part of this investigation as well, so I think there’s some meaning behind what the two Red Sox players are saying.” SEE ALSO Mark Teixiera: Yankees' sign-stealing nothing like Carlos Beltran's Astros There also is the 2009 New York Times report, which said Ortiz was one of 104 players who tested positive for PEDs in 2003. The slugger never was punished as the test was administered one year before MLB implemented a new drug-testing program, and Ortiz repeatedly has denied cheating. Nowadays, Ortiz and Hall of Famer Martinez are both special assistants for the Red Sox, who currently are awaiting commissioner Rob Manfred’s report on allegations that the 2018 champions also illegally stole signs. But the lack of a whistleblower in the Red Sox case could make it difficult for MLB to levy similar punishments to what Houston faced. In addition to the team losing draft picks and being fined $5 million, the league suspended Astros manager A.J. Hinch and general manager Jeff Luhnow for one year each, and Houston subsequently fired both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Red Sox cheating probe ‘developments’ delay decision NORTH PORT, Fla. — “Development” is a fine word for movie scripts and young athletes. Less so if it refers to someone investigating you. And that’s where the Red Sox find themselves. Rob Manfred said Sunday that his office’s look into allegations the champion 2018 Sawx illegally stole signs had lasted longer than he originally anticipated. When the commissioner spoke at the conclusion of the owners’ meetings on Feb. 6, he said he hoped to conclude the investigation by the time camps opened, a deadline he missed. “There have been a couple of developments in the Boston thing that slowed us down,” Manfred said at CoolToday Park during Grapefruit League Media Day. “… People who had to be reinterviewed as a result of things. … I am still thinking that by the end of next week, we should be done and have a decision out.” That would be by Feb. 28, Manfred clarified. The lack of a public whistleblower or damning video footage, two components that immediately put the 2017 Astros in the hottest of water, have led baseball folks to assume that the penalties for the Red Sox will be nowhere near as harsh — beyond a lengthy suspension for former manager Alex Cora, who served as the bench coach for the 2017 Astros and led the way in the trash can-banging scheme. These “developments” at the least delay such assumptions from turning into realities. In other matters: Manfred said he met with all of the Grapefruit League managers here — there were 13 on site — and discussed, among other matters, new Astros manager Dusty Baker’s public plea that the league ensure his players aren’t repeatedly drilled by pitchers as an unofficial penalty for their sign-stealing. SEE ALSO Jose Altuve tattoo conspiracy should heighten MLB's hunt “I hope that I made it extremely clear to them that retaliation in a game by throwing at a player intentionally will not be tolerated, whether it’s Houston or anyone else,” Manfred said. “It’s dangerous and not helpful to the current situation.” Progress continues toward a rule that could go so far as to ban players and coaches from the video replay room during games. “I do expect that we will for 2020 have really serious restrictions [against] players and player personnel having access to video in-game,” Manfred said. Regarding the dramatic revision of the postseason that The Post’s Joel Sherman first reported, Manfred offered: “Have we discussed expanded playoffs as an internal manner? Yes, we have. I think in an entertainment environment, as competitive as the one in which we live, if we were not at least talking about that, we probably wouldn’t be doing our job. No decisions have been made on that particular topic, but it certainly has been a topic of conversation internally.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Boston Red Sox illegally used video replay room to steal signs during 2018 season, report says Chris Bumbaca USA TODAY For the second time this offseason, a cheating scandal has rocked Major League Baseball. On Tuesday, The Athletic reported — using three anonymous sources — the Boston Red Sox used the video replay room near the dugout to aid in electronically stealing signs in 2018, when the team won 108 games during the regular season and the World Series. The report said players would wander into the unguarded replay room during regular season games to decipher opponents' sign sequences. That information would be relayed to a runner on second base. The runner would signal to the hitter whether the incoming pitch was a fastball — right foot off the bag first — or an offspeed offering — left foot first. This system, according to The Athletic, only worked with a runner on second or sometimes first. The Red Sox led the league in runs scored in 2018 (876). The method stopped during the postseason when MLB instituted an in-person monitor inside the video replay rooms, a practice that carried over into the 2019 season. Sign-stealing is a form of gamesmanship in baseball. A line is crossed, though, when signs are stolen through the use of technology. In March 2018, MLB chief baseball officer Joe Torre issued a three-page memo to front offices saying "To be clear, the use of any equipment in the clubhouse or in a Club’s replay or video rooms to decode an opposing Club’s signs during the game violates this Regulation." This past November, the Houston Astros were accused of using a center-field camera that fed to a monitor near the dugout, allowing players to bang on a garbage can to alert the hitter to the type of pitch — a practice that peaked during the 2017 season, when they won the World Series. Alex Cora was Houston's bench coach that season and was reported to have played a role in formulating that system. Boston hired him as manager that offseason, pitting him in the middle of both scandals. In response to the allegations, MLB said it will open an investigation. "The Commissioner made clear in a September 15, 2017 memorandum to clubs how seriously he would take any future violation of the regulations regarding use of electronic equipment or the inappropriate use of the video replay room," MLB said in a statement to The Athletic. The Red Sox responded with an statement: “We were recently made aware of allegations suggesting the inappropriate use of our video replay room. We take these allegations seriously and will fully cooperate with MLB as they investigate the matter.” Celebrity Trainer: "I Feel Better At 60 Than I Did At 40, Thanks To This One Morning Trick"Power Life by Tony Horton| Sponsored This 5G stock could be like buying McDonald’s in 1965The Motley Fool| Sponsored Do This If Your Dog Scoots Across The FloorUltimate Pet Nutrition Nutra Thrive Supplement| Sponsored Which 5 Travel Cards Have The Most Valuable Miles?NerdWallet| Sponsored The Best Way to Stop a Barking Dog (It's Genius)Bark Begone Dog Training Device| Sponsored Skip the Hassle - Upgrade to the World's Smartest CPAP Without Visiting the DoctorEasy Breathe CPAP Company: ResMed’s AirSense 10 Auto CPAP| Sponsored Before You Renew Amazon Prime, Read ThisWikibuy| Sponsored Famous Doctor Discovers Quick Fatty Liver Fix1MD Liver MD Supplement| Sponsored More Stories Charles Barkley rips Cavs players for John Beilein departure SPORTS Joe Burrow dismisses notion of forcing trade to avoid Bengals in draft SPORTS Ohio State's Ryan Day among Big Ten's top-paid coaches after raise SPORTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Yankee thought he deciphered the sequence or indicator, Teixeira said, that player would share it with teammates. If someone reached second base, he was told to see if the opposition kept the same signs. If so, the baserunner could alert the hitter with his own sign. Teixeira claimed the system was not widely successful. In fact, he said he ignored it because “I thought personally it was BS because by the time they decoded and would get it to me [from second base], my at-bat was over or the pitcher and catcher changed the signs. They were wrong more than they were right. … Anecdotally, I would argue with teammates, ‘You are not good at this. You are trying to give signs, then you get mad at me because I am not good at it either. We are not that good at it.’ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
