The splits of 2017 for the Astros were crazy. I live in Houston. They were a far better road team than a home team, where they were "cheating". For what it's worth. Thee article linked below discusses the contents of the MLB report, including this regarding the cameras: "The first revelation from MLB’s investigation is that the Astros were employing the live feed from the regular center field camera installed in every ballpark, rather than a custom-installed camera built into Minute Maid for the purposes of signal theft. The source of the camera is important because it means the Astros had the same video feed available on the road as they did at home; their sign-stealing was portable. (The only other element they needed was a way to signal the hitter at the plate, and according to MLB, they tried everything from whistling to yelling to the infamous trash can abuse. They could have employed another method for away games to be a little more discreet.) The portability of the Astros’ scheme helps to shed some light on something I noticed in an article in November: several indicators of their plate discipline performance improved at the same time for both their home and road games, to historic and unprecedented degrees. MLB’s investigation makes no explicit mention of whether the Astros stole signs on the road, but the lack of any need to be at their home ballpark at least opens up that possibility." https://www.baseballprospectus.com/news/article/56411/astros-sign-stealing-hinch-luhnow/ But I guess your singling out of Mike Fiers makes more sense now that you seemingly don't even seem to believe they're cheating, judging by the quotation marks. I can't quite fathom the reaction that after a big cheating scandal breaks, people are more upset about the person who revealed it than about the cheating. Of course Fiers could have spoken out about it sooner, but to be more upset at him than the people who *didn't speak out at all* is absurd. They cheated, yes. But every team is doing it. This does not solely lie with the Astros. Same as PEDs. There were guys on every team doing it, not just the stars.
