This bothers me way more than the steroid era.

Be like if they had someone in the end zone signalling to the QB who to pass to.
No it wouldn't. It would be like recording the sidelines, which the New England Patriots have done and will be punished for.

Just throw your pitch. Why the catcher have to be involved?
Because that's how baseball works. If you knew anything about the game you wouldn't ask such a ridiculous question.

Lifetime ban is a bit much when the players were likely following the coach's orders, but they need to be punished because they were complicit.

And the teams needs to be stripped of its WS title.

just like the NFL with the Patriots using illegal videotaping to win the Super Bowl, MLB is doing everything they can to stick it to a couple scapegoats and sweep the rest under the rug.

The Astros didn't win the World Series. They're not champions.

Haha. No.
The catcher would have little chance to catch the ball if he didn't know what was coming. It's comical when a catcher gets "crossed up" on a pitch (expecting fastball, gets a slider or curve ot vice versa) - the ball typically ends up at the backstop.

Major league pitchers throw hard, and their pitches have crazy movement.
Thanks. I played ball for 6 years. Don't follow it now, can't stand watching it.

He should be banned for life and stripped of all awards. This is an over the top attempt to cheat at a level never seen before in any sport that I can think of.

Dude was on his way to the HOF.

But if he was wearing a device, he's looking at a Shoeless Joe type ban.

sparkuri @sparkuri and I went to an Angels/Astros game last year. We couldn’t believe the stats that their lineup was finishing the season with. Makes a lot more sense now
