Major League Baseball may have already punished the Houston Astros for illegally stealing signs, but you’re out of your mind if you thought the drama would end there. Apparently, the pound of flesh that Commissioner Rob Manfred took from the Astros wasn’t quite enough for baseball fans.
Baseball Twitter exploded on Thursday as fans went looking for evidence that the Houston Astros employed electronic buzzers in an effort to tip hitters off to the coming pitches. Well, Twitter did not disappoint, and the prevailing rumors now are that the electronic buzzers absolutely existed.
However, it must be noted that in an investigation described as “one of the most thorough of all time,” Major League Baseball did not find any evidence that electronic buzzers were used.
