The Houston Astros sign stealing scandal is the biggest story of the 2019-20 MLB offseason. It is probably the biggest case of MLB sign stealing in history. The Ken Rosenthal Astros story broke things open, but don't forget his co-author Evan Drellich! This huge MLB cheating will not be going away any time soon. Not with all the Astros cheating compilation s floating around.
We'll talk about the 2017 Astros cheating, the 2017 Astros sign stealing, Mike Fiers Astros, and Danny Farquhar Astros, who noticed the Astros trash can banging. We also talk about the unknown. Did the Astros cheat the World Series? Tough to say.
This video features a guest appearance from Jomboy of Jomboy Media. His Astros cheating breakdown has received over 6.3 million views! It all culminates into one of the most ambitious episodes of Baseball Bits (a Foolish Baseball production) yet. I hope you all enjoy it!

It's about character and the kind of people you choose to associate with and trust, that's why I have few friends, I have to know if they are trustworthy and worth the time, and if you compromise on anything you most likely will not have my back when it matters. If you are only about you, then you don't deserve what I give to a friendship.

@@leatherface4662 From your viewpoint sure. I get that. I don't think that applies to MLB opponents, who may have already had a history with them prior to this knowledge. People don't tend to react kindly to cheating against them on this level. There's a lot at stake here. Legacy, leverage with future contracts, endorsements, league leading titles, MVP's...think about it. If you pay any attention to human nature, you can make a safe bet a few of those "message" pitches may wind up in somebody's ribs. We'll see how those guys hit this upcoming season when compared to the "actually knowing what pitch is coming" past seasons.

I don’t think drilling someone in the baby back ribs is all that out of line but throwing at a guy’s head could take a life. No game is worth that. I’m as old school as it comes when talking traditional baseball etiquette, but there’s got to be a line you don’t cross.

@@jonboy9734 Alot of the signs is because the catcher has to know what is coming, so he can set up properly and expect a ball to break or not. Great catchers make great pitchers look even better. Even if a pitcher only throws like 1 pitch, the catcher has to know the location. It's incredible the movement of the ball, and time the pitch reaches the plate. Catchers get crossed up all the time. Sometimes harder to catch than it is to hit.

“Can you really suspend an entire baseball team?” Does nobody remember the 1919 Black Sox scandal? Whole roster banned from the MLB if I do recall for throwing the game for money. It’s not much different, I’m sure some of the stars have clauses in their contracts that include bonuses for playoff series wins and a World Series wins like they do in the NBA. They profited by gaming the system. And as a Red Sox fan, they’re not much better off, I don’t see them taking away banners but Alex Cora did the right thing by stepping down and didn’t try to make a fool of himself.

Disagree. Jomboy as little to no integrity. I encourage Foolish Baseball to use his more objective and rational approach to assessing information, and apply it to Jomboy's ability to receive criticism. Jomboy comically highlights antics all around the league but openly admits he refuses to do so for his own team. People unable to laugh at themselves, that is to say, see humor for what it is(honesty*), are insecure and dishonest people. Then, he further embarrasses himself by lashing out at those who criticized his own bias. Perhaps most telling, was his response to Foolish Baseball's question about receiving criticism from Astros fans; He says, "I hope I have them all blocked by now". Censorship is something I will never endorse in life. He ostracizes small groups, those who defend the Astros, and those who laugh at the yankees' misfortunes. I cannot endorse(viewership is a form of consumption, the large the consumer base, the more advertisement funds are given) this either. *Humor as Honesty: To paraphrase Aristotle, "comedy is the most true form of writing" I typically wouldn't write anything as involved as this piece, if not for how intelligent Foolish Baseball appears to be. That previous statement was sad considering it's really simple stuff, so to be too involved these days isn't difficult to accomplish. Disclaimer: I do not defend the Astros, nor do I hate the Yankees.

Great video, completely disagree with the arguments against removing their title. It is absolutely necessary to discourage this kind of unsportsmanlike behavior. The very essence of sports is that we compete against each other on a level playing field. It’s what we teach kids from an early age. Letting them get away with it signals that we don’t prioritize fairness over winning, which is catastrophic. Manfred should have had the balls to step up and show what kind of leader he is as commissioner of the league, but instead he acted cowardly. Sad to know that’s the guy in charge of baseball at the moment.

Put an asterisk next to their Title. Jim Crane said he has high standards and therefore he went above MLB punishment by firing Hinch and Luhnow. But he claims his 2017 Title is legit. So much for his high standards and went above MLB

You are more than welcome to put an asterisk next to the 2017 title, but if you do you better understand there are about three dozen more you can put in that same category for the same damn reason. What if Bobby Thompson‘s “shot heard round the world“ came as a result of the sign stealing the Giants were doing? This was not an Astros problem. If one idiotic pitcher didn’t take a shot at his former team because he didn’t like where his career wound up we wouldn’t be discussing any of this. The Astros would be right there with the Yankees and the Dodgers as teams rumored to have cheated beyond in 2017 and beyond. • In 2017 he (Manfred) fined the Red Sox for stealing signs off the replay monitor and transmitting them with a smart watch. He also **fined the Yankees** for improper use of the dugout phone to gain information off the replay monitor. !!!LOOK!!! -> • In 2018 he received so many complaints about teams stealing signs electronically that in the postseason he stationed MLB security officials near every replay monitor and dugout to try to ensure a fair game-the baseball version of calling in the National Guard to an emergency.

@@macpipkin What about the 8 other teams the Astros told MLB were cheating and Manfred swept it under the rug? MLB started this whole problem by instituting the challenge replay system and having replay monitors teams could look at before challenging a play. Get rid of that. Turn off the TVs in the clubhouses. No replays anywhere that are not available to the fans in the stands. The Astros, especially the players, deserve all the grief they get, but the fans should make sure their team's own house is in order.

@@macpipkin Fiers is not an idiotic pitcher. His timing could have been better, but at least someone finally stepped up and said something. Hinch said in a press conference that if someone has an issue with the way they do something don't hide behind anonymous comments but their name on it. Fiers did that, and here we are. He could have chosen to remain anonymous, and he knew he could be blackballed by his teammates or other clubs. There is always time to do what is right, and the Astros and the team's management had three years to do what's right and didn't.

Signs or not you still gotta hit the ball and everything else all this is gonna do is make them want to prove they don't' have to cheat to win. This is a question of personal honor i doubt if all the players chose to win by cheating, that's bullshit.
