BTW Snell crying that he'll only make 3.5 million instead of 7 Milton while front line workers are truly risking their lives not even making close to that expose snell for the entitled punk he is.
Sure. Do we have evidence of sign stealing, or other forms of "cheating" (quotation marks because teams routinely steal signs on the field of play, but not with video) though? If it's done between games, or on the field within a game, I'm fine with it. I'm not fine with corked bats, or other methods that are escaping me right now, but using video in game is beyond the pale for me. If any other team gets caught doing it, you can lump them right in there, and throw the book at them. There's no excuse for it.

On our 1993 Blue Jays, we had Cito Gaston, Robbie Alomar, and Paul Molitor, who were all experts at stealing signs, and picking up tells from a pitcher. Back in those days, there wasn't as much video though, so I doubt there was any of that shady stuff going on. That ain't cheating. That's using your smarts to gain an advantage. There's a fine line between the two, but it does exist.
