Welp. Gotta do these other Bullets now even while swallowing a white hot ball of rage about Nick Castellanos signing with the Reds. I guess I’ll dump on the Brewers for a few things.
“I don’t see a need to bring it up [with the players],” Counsell told MLB.com. “Look, I think what happened is the league had to make a tough call. [The Astros] crossed the line on the rules. It’s unfortunate, but it has to be done. There’s competitive people in this job, like in every job, but you still have to have your ethical flag in the ground and understand where those lines are. It’s unfortunate, but the league had to address it.”
Counsell added, “It’s a line, you know? And sometimes the lines get grayed, and technology can gray lines, especially. But there is a way that is within the rules to decode signs that I don’t think should stop. It should be part of the game. It’s skill that should be part of the game. Players and coaching staffs and front offices looking for advantages, that’s part of the game. That’s allowed, that’s legal, that should be allowed. It should be encouraged. And we’ll still encourage our players to find advantages in legal ways.”
Three possibilities (not mutually exclusive): (1) Braun is full of shit, (2) Brewers players are failing to do something their manager explicitly wants them to do, and/or (3) the Brewers "literally" signal from somewhere else.https://t.co/puF9NHxU0c pic.twitter.com/eq2O3updEA
