On the flip side…An Astros fan wanted to know how bad it was or wasn’t. He downloaded game data (pitch charts) from MLB, downloaded game audio for something like 8000 pitches, then ran the audio through a sound editor on his computer to detect trash can noise.It was bad.He found clear indications of a pattern of signalling, of improved performance when signalling, and a sharp drop in the use of the method after they nearly got busted in one game.
My wife’s from Texas. I’m not. So I asked her about fire ants. She said they’re worse than advertised. Said when they bit her dad while he was gardening, his whole foot would swell up.

Better idea: Rob Manfred bobble head inside the trash can. Include the bat.
