MLB hammers the Astros

Hinch and Luhnow suspended for a year. Wow.
And 4 draft choices and a $5 mil fine.

The nine-page report issued by the commissioner’s office confirms the method and says it continued during the 2017 postseason. MLB investigators found that Alex Cora, the Boston Red Sox manager who was then serving as Astros bench coach, arranged for the live video feed in the tunnel “approximately two months into the 2017 season” after a group of players including now-Mets manager Carlos Beltran suggested the team’s sign-stealing methods could be improved. The report says Manfred will not assess discipline against individual Astros players.

2017 Post Season:

Astros at home? 8-1 with a .273 ave.

Astros on road? 3-5 with a .208 ave.

I wouldn't be surprised if Cora gets banned

How in the heck did they think they would not get caught doing this? Players and coaches move around from team to team, how could they think the secret wasn't going to get out?

The word on twitter today is that some of the Astros players wore a buzzer under their jerseys and would get buzzed by their video guy on certain pitches.
