LeBron says he would be irate if he had been denied a World Series championship by the Astros cheating.
If you feel that bad, quit denying other teams an NBA Championship with 10 traveling violations a game.

This is why baseball is dead. We’re talking about sign stealing. Not real cheating. There should be zero conversations about signs in 2020. Why are they even using signs at all? MLB should allow a communication device to exchange calls. Technology has passed up this stupidity years ago. Only ones to blame are MLB. This isn’t fucking 1947

:lol

Yeah man, LeBron is constantly manipulating teams / players through his agency.

I move before many times, there’s got to be a rule in place that while you are playing, you cannot be an owner / partner of a sports agency for YOUR sport. It’s a conflict of interest, insider trading, etc. issue. It’s too easy to pull too many strings behind the scenes.

Using your own wits to steal signs isn't a huge scandal. Using technology to steal signs, like the Astros did, is the problem. Think of it as the difference between sneaking a peek at someone's paper during a test and downloading the answer key to the whole test from the teacher's computer.

What the Astros did made every game they played in a farce because they didn't just have players catching on to a few signs here and there. They had their front office systematically stealing everyone in the league's signs so they always knew which pitch was coming. Anyone in the big leagues would look good with a massive advantage like that.

He's lucky China doesn't own an MLB team or else he wouldn't say shit. Also remember when LeRoids lost 30 lbs the summer before the league started testing for HGH? The bastard couldn't even dunk anymore so he went on a "sabbatical" in Miami and got the newest strain of HGH and low and behold he came back at MVP level. He's about the last person I want to hear from on cheating.

I understand where you’re coming from but it’s an antiquated system in modern times.

I’ll even go a step further and suggest that MLB state clearly that sign stealing isn’t against the rules and protecting your signals should be the sole responsibility of each club. Let it fall on the teams to ensure their own security.

...and like I said MLB should support in ear monitoring devices.

We should be miles and miles past these debates.

The Patriots' cheating scandals are proof that using technology doesn't deter cheating. It's not like communication devices can't be messed with by teams trying to cheat.

As for the MLB's rules: they've made a clear distinction between using your own wits to steal signs (legal) and using technology to steal signs (not allowed). This is why the Red Sox got in trouble for using an Apple Watch to cheat and the Astros got punished for their shenanigans, but normal sign stealing is just shrugged off as part of the game.

In the NFL, the coaches cover their mouths with their clipboards as an attempt to keep the other side from lip reading. So in other words, lip reading is fair game if you can do it in the NFL. If they’re so worried about sign stealing, figure out an alternative or a better way to cover it. There, problem solved. Now let’s all go back to not caring about the MLB. This is a Spurs forum for Pete’s sake
