MLB debuts anti-sign stealing technology l GMA

[@Lucky_Male_Bee]

The Astros will hire a tech team to clone the other teams ear pieces. 😆

[@ronb6182]

Just remember all this can be hacked and the steal goes on. This will only keep honest players honest. The cheater will find a way to hack the system. 73

[@reallifelebowski4732]

Just wait until the playoffs when home teams fans catch on to this... The noise on each pitch count will be crazy... Saw a game today where The Blue Jays closer couldn't hear a thing and that was with a home crowd of his..

[@kieranlobo9951]

how long until people start putting listening devices on pitchers to start hearing the pitch??

[@anthonyannibale4478]

This only shows that there probably was a buzzer system used in 2017 that’s where they got the idea from.

[@ranelgallardo7031]

No there wasn’t like the balls weren’t deflated by the Patriots. Stop it

[@Sequel7]

Yea I’m sure houston is already trying to figure out how to hack into it

[@adder95]

"we use sophisticated encryption technology" welp there goes with my confidence in this thing

[@lambdalambdalambda257]

They should've made two earpieces and a coach should have the remote so the catcher doesn't have to spend time fidgeting with the remote

[@samplautz5586]

Or just do what max scherzer does. He uses the device and calls his own pitches.

[@jamesblunt1915]

Astros hackers are hard at work 🤔🤷‍♀️😂

[@dynaguy6970]

Morning Wood. Hahahaha

[@sweepingdenver]

Curious how they will prevent cameras from just noticing what button is being pressed.

[@DAK4Blizzard]

As long as catcher has the device even partially turned away from the mound, cameras can't confirm the button pressed.

[@turkwendell6904]

@@DAK4Blizzard that makes sense but I can't believe all of this is going to somehow save time

[@LandonChurch15]

I think this is good to stop cheating

[@Skye-tb7oq]

Astros will find a way.

Sounds like a pitchcom won a golf game and hit the contract

y'all hear here say "Morning Wood" @0:14 heheheh

Wow. Technology at its best. Thats cool. For sure that will change baseball.

It’s about time.

[@rlowle1228]

Sure but what if you need an update during the 7th inning.

[@cattywhompus1012]

Oh man. Purists are gonna be PISSED!

[@chrisspearline767]

This thing needs Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice

[@djcrazy8578]

thats like texting while driving bc they look away for a second n if pitcher throws n thinks catcher is paying attention well thats gonna hurt!!

[@kwyacf8631]

whyyyy? 😮

[@drifts71]

Wait till the playoffs when crowd gets real loud pitchers ain’t gonna hear shit

[@zachzabala]

Pitchers have earbud with the voice talking to them lol. Unless they are hard of hearing they will be fine😆

[@reallifelebowski4732]

@@zachzabala Bullshit ~ The Jays closer on the mound today couldn't hear a thing.. He was shaking his head and bending down and leaving the rubber.. It was the most distracting thing i ever saw..

[@gogetta7911]

How to invest into this company 👀

[@mikelee9739]

Catcher must press the right button

[@christoph8616]

Now if they could only use technology to prevent horrendous bad calls that snowball games into a shit show.

[@codenametkd23]

huh i wonder how that could be done if people werent jus so concerned about keeping the game traditional *cough cough* robo umps *cough cough*

[@23v0lv32]

Sign stealing and concealing signs has always been apart of the game! Such rubbish

[@StillaYouTubeGuy]

You think this doesn’t happen in the nfl for fixed odds

[@falcon1378]

It’s kinda hard to steal plays in the nfl considering how many complex formations and play types there are on a playsheet. It’s much easier to estimate what will happen. Signs are vastly different because it all comes down to what a pitcher does.

[@happysqWid]

You can always spot someone who isn't a baseball fan in conversations like this by the way they talk about cheating, like it's all just cheating. But in baseball, there's cheating, and then there's cheating. And finding ways to get away with a little bit of cheating, without cheating, IS baseball. That's why I love it, and also why I'm against this tech.... And the NL DH.

[@Christopher-dd1ph]

You can be against this device and that's fine but only an absolute dipshit would literally want to enable cheating lmao. Imagine being in support of cheating LOL. Idiot.

[@TheOMAR617]

Astros: Lets hack their shit…!! ⚾️

[@Rodimus75]

Okay, enough already about the 2017 Houston Astros team and their sign-stealing! It's been five years now, and they were not the only team to be caught using technology to steal signs! For example, both the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees were doing it seasons before, during, and after 2017.

[@HutchIsOnYT]

Yes, other teams did it too but they won the World Series so deserve the brunt of the heat. Especially since their punishment was extremely light I’m assuming you are an Astros fan

[@Rodimus75]

@@HutchIsOnYT I am a life-long fan of the Houston Astros organization. Does it bother me that they used sign-stealing technology, as other teams did? Yes. Was it investigated? Yes. Were there reprimands? Yes. Were the higher-ups in the organization who were responsible fired? Yes. Was the team's World Series win stripped from them? No. Was there any stripping of Division Pennants from any other teams who may have also engaged in cheating? No. It is over. It is done. It is beyond time to move on from this past debacle! End of story. Any continued anger is ridiculous. More important things have occurred in the world since then.

[@campbellmunn]

No they weren’t😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yankees and Red Sox were not cheating, keep crying. Trashtros are cheaters🗑🗑

[@mikrod9157]

[@ShinobiDrip999]

Unless you were using cameras or tech to steal signs, I really don't think stealing signs is cheating. It's a part of the game, change ur signs or make them more subtle.

[@smok3sho587]

It literally is cheating lmao Texans got their championship taken away because of it

[@mileezy]

They were using cameras is the issue. And not sure what other commenters talking about but MLB didn't take their title away
