Phillies accused of stealing signs

According to Phillies Nation, a MLB official believes the Phillies may have been stealing in their recent series against Boston. It must not have worked very well, as the Phillies dropped two of three to the Red Sox.

From the Boston Globe:

Major League Baseball has not received a specific complaint about the Red Sox being victims of sign stealing, but the Phillies have been investigated for this in the past. The Sox played the Phillies last week, and one major league official thought the Phillies were taking Boston's signs. The Sox won two out of three in Philadelphia. Sox general manager Theo Epstein had no comment on the topic.

Spygate 2.0? Now, for me as a Giants fan, this would set up nicely. The Patriots get blamed for cheating and go on to lose the Super Bowl to the G-Men. Now that the Phillies are catching flack, does that mean the Mets will beat them in the division...or even the NLCS?

A man can dream, right?

  1. As long as they're not using high-tech equipment, who cares? This has been done since baseball has been played.

    The Red Sox should shut up. They beat the Phillies two out of three.

  3. Weren't they accused of stealing signs during a series with the Mets last season? I think it was the series that "started" the collapse.
