I haven’t seen enough of their series to know if Tampa Bay is doing so. The year the Nats won in Houston, they had multiple codes and were switching them up repeatedly during the game, always assuming that there was a camera on them. Are the White Sox? If they’re thinking about this at all, then they should be using fully coded signs every pitch. At the very least for their own mindset, to make them feel secure. I really hope that since Tepera made those comments public, the staff and catchers have talked about it and start going through different signs and changing things up multiple times over the course of the game. Even if they aren't doing it, you CANNOT give a team that was so brazen about it in the past the benefit of the doubt on it. Much safer to assume they are and work harder to prevent them..

chitown87 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The righteous indignation from the Astros and their fans is a little ridiculous. They got caught cheating, there’s evidence that they continued to cheat past the point where they were punished, and they’re offended that accusations are still being made?

iWiN4PreP Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 In regards to Baker's comments... ...Thing is, the Astros pulled off one of the biggest cheating scams in all of baseball history and were proven to be doing it and it led them to a fradulent world series win. Have our White sox been proven to cheat? No. So, when people and he start talking about our home/away splits they really need to STFU and take it or highlight significant proof, not just that we hit better at home.

Quin Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 9 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: This is exactly what Tepera wanted, which is the media to bring it up to the Astros and the Astros thinking about it (as if the fans chanting and jeering wasn't doing it). Maybe it gets in their heads and Tepera being a heel works. Maybe it gets them fired up. Maybe the org is really, truly confoundingly stupid and is cheating again. Who knows?

South Side Hit Men Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 9 minutes ago, Balta1701 said: Eric Clapton doesn’t like Dusty Baker though, I can guarantee that. Dusty Baker is a huge fan of all different types of genres. I'm not a big Astros fan anymore as I was growing up, but if the Sox don't win I'd pull for Dusty over Boston this year, or in future years if it's not in the cards for the White Sox. Great feature by Claire Smith in the Athletic on Dusty over the weekend. https://theathletic.com/2871423/2021/10/07/what-makes-him-special-is-his-curiosity-at-age-72-the-dusty-baker-story-is-still-being-written/ Still have an autographed ball by Dusty Baker and Rich Gossage by Grandpa got on an Ace Hardware Junket to Pittsburgh for the 1979 World Series.

ChiSox59 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Probably would have been best to leave this thought to himself, honestly. Seems to have become a major talking point of the series now.

Bringing it up after the series (if they lose) would just look like sour grapes. Bringing it up it up while you think it's going is absolutely the way to go.
