      1. Baseball has to come down hard enough on the sign-stealing thing to ensure everyone gets the message that rules will be enforced. If you don't enforce rules, you don't actually have rules.

      2. Long term, the answer here may be giving pitchers & catchers more leeway to use technology themselves to communicate signs.

          3. But talk of this keeping Beltran out of Cooperstown is a sign some folks have just decided that using sports as a vehicle to make moral judgments is more important to them than the sport itself.

          4. One of the depressing turns in baseball writing has been watching the Gen X sabermetric crowd, which once rebelled against crusty moral-high-horse beat writers, turn into their own version, more interested in handing down Woke anathemas than in analyzing the game as a game.

          MLB is one of the worst and most arbitrary rule-enforcement sports in history. Interesting that they suddenly care now

          Secure solution that preserves tradition: 1) Manager tells all the players BY RADIO what the signs are for this pitch. They have earbuds. 2) Catcher then puts fingers down in the traditional way. Even if you steal the catcher's sign, you don't know what it means.
