Again,
People really love them some pitchforks and torches
People thinking it'd be really great, or necessary, for MLB to ban some of it's best players for a year or twp.
As to : if you are serious about deterring prohibited behavior that is unquestionably detrimental to the game, you have to do be serious about administering punishment to those responsible from breaking those rules
What is that based on?
If we have no more allegations of the Astros(or other teams) using technology to steal signs, are people still going to say that the punishment wasn't harsh enough? If everyone just goes back to banging on trashcans, then, sure, the response wasn't effective. But, if they don't?
There are tons of studies that show that punishment is not a deterrent. Harsher penalties don't change people s behavior, what does is the risk of getting caught.
Teams, and players, know MLB is going to be watching for this in the future
