I’d have no problem calling Myles Straw a pussy to his face & I’m 1000% serious. We’re almost the same build, I have an inch in height on him & I can tell he wouldn’t do a goddamn thing about it. Even if it came to blows I know I could take him. He’s about the least intimidating player I can think of.

I mean this is fucking hilarious but it's also so Yankees fan that I almost have to give you credit for it.

regular citizens thinking they could kick the asses of guys who get paid 6-7 figured to be world class athletes will always be hilarious.

@Helobious also thinks he could beat up a chimpanzee.

It’s pretty sad most of you don’t think you could fuck up a 5’10 175 lb baseball player in a fight. Not at all surprising though.

SNY got the Yankee letter a few days before its unsealing. Astros fans will be thoroughly disappointed. Full letter in link https://sny.tv/articles/yankees-letter-revealed
 

Spoiler

• The letter does not implicate the Yankees in a sign-stealing scheme similar to the one for which the Houston Astros were punished, when batters received the signs in real time without the help of a runner on second base.

• It does reveal -- as SNY has previously reported it would -- that the Yanks used the video replay room in 2015 and 2016 to decode sign sequences and pass them to a runner on second base, who would then relay them to the batter.

• For that, the Yankees received a fine of $100,000, a previously unreported amount.

• The letter clears the Yankees of using YES Network cameras to steal signs, which the Red Sox alleged.

• The letter does not accuse the Yankees of sign-stealing after the crucial date of September 15, 2017, when Manfred announced that from that day forward electronic sign stealing would be subject to more severe punishments. In fact, the letter does not accuse the team of stealing signs at any point during the 2017 season.

 

[UTPhil2006 3790]

You cheated and didn't win shit.  

[Helobious 9477]

 

[TonyTexas 10478]

So the Yankees were just a little bit pregnant. 

[Starfleet Command 441]

It doesn't matter if the Astros' illegal sign stealing scheme didn't actually furnish the Astros with a competitive advantage - cheating is cheating.  However, don't expect for a fucking millisecond that same standard to be applied to the conduct of other teams.

[Starfleet Command 441]

Bill can be a bit boomer-brained at times but this is correct:

You apply the same standard to the same conduct.  The conduct was not the same as other teams.

Each team broke the same rule and received about the same competitive advantage from their cheating.  One of those teams was so brazen and blatant as to illegally steal signs on the road.

He knows it’s a satire site. Even so, it’s tweets are eerily similar to many of Helobious’ serious baseball takes.

So the yankees were cheating in 2015 and got shut out by the Astros in the wild card game LOL

 

Not that he needed any help but this makes Cashman look like choad

[n64ra 1075]

In how many different seasons do Cashman-led teams have to get caught cheating before MLB bans him? I'm at three years - 2015, 2016, and 2017 - and looking forward to the report next year on how they got caught a fourth time.

[Dr Fear 1265]

I would have thought Big Game had retired to hunting full time.

I think Correa helped them out way more than cheating. You see now that they are literally nothing without him. They’ll be lucky to make a wildcard, they’re ALCS streak is ending without question.

LOL at using the Yankeestream media to spin away the letter.  

They posted only part of the letter. 

Dear Brian:

On August 23, 2017, the New York Yankees filed a formal complaint and requested that the Office of the Commissioner "conduct a full and complete investigation concerning the illegal use of electronic equipment, in game, by the Boston Red Sox in order to steal signs and gain an illegal advantage in the game." As a result of the Yankees complaint, I directed the Department of Investigations to interview a number of employees of the Red Sox and the Yankees in connection with this matter. Based on the information we received, I have concluded that the Red Sox violated On-Field Regulation 1-2.A by using electronic equipment for the purpose of stealing signs or conveying information designed to give a Club an advantage." I will address this violation of the On-Field Regulations directly with the Red Sox.

During our investigation into the Red Sox's misconduct, [Redacted] informed the Department of Investigations that the Yankees used a similar scheme to that of the Red Sox to decode opposing Clubs' signs and relay them to the batter when a runner was on second base. [Redacted] -- who initially noticed that the Red Sox were using a smartwatch to pass information to their players -- admitted to the Department of Investigations that during the 2015 season and the first half of the 2016 season, [Redacted], provided information about opposing Club's signs to players and members of the coaching staff in the replay room at Yankee Stadium, who then physically relayed the information to the Yankees' dugout. [Redacted] also admitted that during that same time period, in certain stadiums on the road where the video room was not proximate to the dugout, used the phone line in the replay room to orally provide real-time information about opposing Club's signs to Yankee coaches on the bench.

[....]

The Yankees' use of the dugout phone to relay information about an opposing Club's signs during the 2015 season, and part of the 2016 season, constitutes a material violation of the Replay Review Regulations. By using the phone in the video review room to instantaneously transmit information regarding signs to the dugout in violation of the Regulations, the Yankees were able to provide real-time information to their players regarding an opposing Club's sign sequence - the same objective of the Red Sox's scheme that was the subject of the Yankees' complaint.

Based on the foregoing, the Yankees are hereby fined $100,000. Please send a check in that amount, made payable to Major League Baseball Charities, to my attention. The money will be used for Hurricane Irma relief.

 

The most important quote:

Yankeestream media continues refusing to report on Catfish Hunter's laptop.
