How ironic.
Crimson Sox announcer Will Middlebrooks criticized the Astros for being upset with Boston over sign-stealing drama throughout its 7-3 win on Saturday.
“I had a feeling this was gonna happen,” Middlebrooks stated. “Imagine the Astros being mad about stealing signs. But guess what, that’s part of the game, when you can see the grip in a glove.”
The Astros have been notably responsible of a serious dishonest scandal.
In 2017, they used a digital camera in middle area to steal indicators after which relayed the data to batters in order that they knew which pitch was coming.
The Astros have been fined $5 million, docked draft picks and GM Jeff Luhnow and supervisor A.J. Hinch have been suspended by MLB and finally fired.
Throughout Saturday’s sport, Astros reliever Hector Neris exchanged phrases with Crimson Sox third base coach Kyle Hudson after the seventh inning.
Hudson shouted again, prompting each benches to clear.
Throughout that seventh inning, Neris deliberately balked Trevor Story to 3rd base.
Story gave the impression to be selecting up indicators and relaying them to batter Carlos Narvaez.
Each Neris and Story have been coy concerning the incident after the sport.
For their very own half, the Crimson Sox have been a part of a smaller sign-stealing scandal in 2017.
They have been fined for transmitting indicators from their replay evaluation room to people within the dugout sporting smartwatches.
