    I think implementing technology and attaching it to your body is much different than banging on a trash can 50 yards away

    I think this is cool.  Don't much care for the orange clown/sun-tan-your-balls-for-power manager, but like this move.

    Fucking buzzers now? All these guys suck. No wonder their stats have been inflated the past few years. If they aren't taking away past titles, ban them from future playoffs.
    Unbelievable they have to be banned for at least a year.  Some of the pics on Twitter are pretty damning.  Hell even patriots fans couldn’t dismiss this as cheating
    The pics on twitter?  You mean like the piece of confetti above?

    I saw a wrinkle in a jersey and someone thinks it  was a wire. I don't know.  I think I'll wait for the professionals to do the investigating and not someone w way too much time to look at photos for that "gotcha" moment.

    Basically I'm saying that I am not gathering my pitchforks just yet.  Even if this is true we all know they cheated already and this outrages you now compared to before?

    Trevor Bauer "heard" this too about the buzzers.

    No such buzzers.

    Can the witch hunt end now or y'all still looking for em?
    so you are buying the 'he is shy' defense for why he didn't want his shirt ripped off and ran into the locker room to change his shirt while his teammates celebrated on the field after the chapman home run?  umm ok.

    Philadelphia Phillies History: Ingenious Sign Stealing Plot Discovered


    Stealing signs is nothing new in baseball. On this day in 1900, it was discovered that the Philadelphia Phillies were taking sign stealing to a whole new level.
    Every so often, there is a ruckus across baseball about teams stealing signs. In recent times, the Padres, the Cubs, and the Blue Jays have been accused of such nefarious practices, often involving some suspicious character with binoculars relaying the information. Yet, the most ingenious method of stealing signs may have been perfected by the Philadelphia Phillies in 1900.

    What the Phillies did was utterly brilliant. Morgan Murphy, a backup catcher who played all of eleven games for the Phillies in 1900, would sit in the clubhouse and read the catcher’s signs using opera glasses.

    Then, using a telegraph, he would relay those signs through a wire running under the outfield to a buzzer under the third base coaches’ box. The third base coach would then let the hitter know what was coming. It was seemingly the perfect scheme, until the plot was uncovered on this day in 1900 when the Philadelphia Phillies were facing the Cincinnati Reds.

     Reds shortstop Tommy Corcoran, who had been pressed into duty as the third base coach, was the one who uncovered the plot. He uncovered the wire in the coaching box, which, upon investigation, led back to the telegraph machine and Murphy. And so ended one of the great sign stealing escapades in MLB history.

    The plot being uncovered also put an end to Murphy’s tenure with the Phillies. A career .225/.286/.280 hitter, who had an OPS+ of 53, Murphy was kept around for his defense. And, in the Phillies case, because of his ability to work a telegraph and steal signs from opposing catchers.

     It was an ingenious plan, as the Philadelphia Phillies were ahead of their time. However, like all crooked schemes, it was uncovered by an unwitting participant.

    I mean I'll bite - the inference is she's only good for sex to break a slump, clear their minds, etc. The further context is in a locker room full of dudes it would be a gangbag, So, rape. This dude's garbage. Fuck Huff.

    Attractive girl that a sports guy sleeps with in order to improve his performance.

    So I am guessing that Ms Julie is an attractive woman.

    Putting females in the locker room is always going to draw out this type of behavior.  I don't think it will ever go away.

    Slump buster is the opposite. Unattractive. He’s calling her ugly

    EDITED: But whether the woman is attractive or not is irrelevant.

    Not to push this issue much, but haha even here the woman is to blame. Hilarious. I'm not saying you're excusing it, but the way this is worded doesn't help. The expectation of people not being pieces of shit should be on all of us.

    Men are morons.  The idea that you cannot conduct yourself professionally, or that at a minimum the organizations cannot set a standard expectation for the players to conduct themselves appropriately, is one I do not understand. 
    The old Lisa Olson thing should not be at play any longer.

    i think a slump buster is implying a girl below standard, but is useful only to change things up and break a slump.

    yes and it doesn't mean slump at the plate. it means only way you sleep with her is if you are desperate to get laid.  

    it's a shitty thing to tweet or say.  Agree with F ME in The Brain above - men are morons.  how hard is it to act with decency around women? it's embarrassing adult men act like this.

    Nope. Unattractive girl just to get your rocks off and break out of your slump with women.

    Its mind boggling that a public figure (who has a lot to lose) would put something like that up on social media regarding another public figure.
