But upon further review, and in light of reports Thursday that the investigation has widened, I say well done to the Astros. I hope we find out that they bugged the visiting manager’s office, the visiting clubhouse, and dugout, too – and that other teams are doing it. Because this is in the very best tradition of a game with a rich heritage of skullduggery and subterfuge.
We’re not talking simply changing sequences, either. By the end of the year, Danny Jansen and Reese McGuire were flashing so many odd signals they looked like bee-keepers attending to hives without protective headgear. This was essentially counter-espionage, made all the more difficult by the fact opposing teams gossiped about how the Blue Jays as a staff routinely tipped their pitches.
