Pitcher Gerrit Cole

I would have never guessed the Astros were doing that. That said, I specifically remember them bashing that year and it didn’t make sense the pitches they were sitting on. I just chalked it up to uncanny scouting at the time. Some of those sliders they were sitting on and pissing on elite pitchers is unicorn stuff though.

I don’t think it was any secret what the Astros were doing. The Nationals spent a lot of time and energy putting together complex interchangeable signals for the World Series. It’s funny that they rocked Strasburg that one inning, Menhart changed the code, and they were swinging from their shoes all of the sudden. Sitting on sliders while Strasburg put it by them like he was 22 again throwing 100 mph.

Probably true. I will be curious how this all plays out. There has to be more teams that will be in trouble.
