Knowing what pitch is coming next by using a camera in center field and then relaying those signals to the batter so he knows whats coming is a whole nother level. That would be a huge advantage for even the average person let alone a professional hitter. Either you are an idiot or an Astros or Red Sox fan. If I'm up to bat with 3-2 and I know to lay off this next pitch, no amount of PEDS can make up for that. You are effectively playing cards and knowing what the other person is holding.

What would be "good for baseball" would be leaving a starting pitcher in the game a little longer instead of the ridiculously predictable strategy of 110 pitches and out he comes...even pitching a no hitter. Not making the game be obsessed with how many pitches the starting pitcher has thrown during each contest, would be certainly be a step in the right direction.

@@CalebsCars They were all involved. It's a team sport, and every player in that dugout knew what was going on. The Manager knew, and discouraged it - but still allowed it. Those that weren't participating will lose out on their championship - which means that's a further future deterrent for this. Punishment is ultimately about deterring the crime in the future. If enough players, managers, general managers and owners fear the consequences of cheating - they won't allow cheating from their own team. Period.
