This will stop teams from running this particular type of scam. The game (including fans) will be scrutinizing every detail that could indicate a pattern. Arguing about what type of cheating is worst is unproductive, but I see this as beyond any of the typical comparisons. I’m sure other teams have done something similar, but I think it’ll stop them too. It’s very likely that the Astros wouldn’t have squeaked by the Yankees in the ALCS or the Dodgers in the WS in 17...impossible to know, but I can’t see any way around Altuve’s MVP being bogus. It was really close between he and Judge anyway. It all sucks. I think they should get a multiple year postseason ban, vacate the title, and Altuve be stripped of the MVP by the BBWA.
