For DCSaints:

 

Commissioner Rob Manfred has circulated a five-page memo to teams enforcing the league’s existing sign-stealing rules and outlining new ones governing the use of technology and replay systems.

Teams may not position cameras between the foul poles in the outfield if not for broadcast purposes. Team replay assistants, who help notify managers when to challenge a call on the field, will have access only to the live game broadcast and will be monitored by a security expert. All other TV monitors available to players and coaches, such as screens in the bullpen or clubhouse, will show the live game broadcast on an eight-second delay.

Beltran knows he would be questioned all year about the scandal. It's easier to run and hide. 

 

Particularly when you have the career earnings that he does.  Just retire and go be rich somewhere nice, don't deal with this **** on top of the **** that inevitably comes with being part of the LOLMets.

And the Mets are a couple days behind in interviewing manager candidates that the Astros/Sox are looking at.  I don't really hate the Mets that much but I take a bit of comfort in knowing that there's a bigger mess out there than my Orioles.

It's not the team as much as it is their fanbase. Just unbearable levels of douchery.

All fanbases have douchey fans, some more than others.  But I'd say in the Mets case that it's just more of a byproduct from being from NYC and the sense of entitlement that goes along with it.

That's absolutely part of it. 

 

NL East has to have worst fanbases to attend games with. New Yorkers with a Napoleon complex and Philly garbage has to put us in the top 5.

Not to get into a measuring contest here, but...hello, AL East.  We've got a Boston team.  Kinda offset by the Rays because no one goes to their games and cares about them but...yeah, Boston.

The worst is when Braves fans come into Nats Park and do the stupid chop.

I will not edit this post. Too funny of a typo/auto correct.

So this was prior to the 2019 season ... when did the Astros and Red Sox violations occur?
