They did. Using electronic devices to communicate during a game (I guess besides the dugout phone) is banned. They were watching the video feed in the clubhouse. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Astros_sign_stealing_scandal https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houston_Astros_sign_stealing...
- dahart 2y agoAh, you’re right, thanks. I read that sign stealing was allowed, and missed the parts about devices being banned.
