Baseball's Toronto Blue Jays under suspicion again of stealing signs at Rogers Centre - ESPN
So my Jays news feeds were blowing up this afternoon, all because of this.
Couple of pissed of White Sox, random stats all lead to someone making accusations that the Blue Jays were stealing signs in 2010. That's right, 2010. Record 85-77, finished 4th in the AL East. Shouldn't you want to be good if your cheating.

By themselves, these numbers are circumstantial evidence. Unsupported by data, the four players' accounts might describe a scheme of uncertain impact. And without proper context, the Yankees' decision to mask their signs could be chalked up to paranoia. But together, the numbers, the stories and the actions indicate one certainty: Every pitch to a Blue Jay in Toronto is worth watching.
