But aside from the usual balance adjustments, this one will also add a special set of side-missions to unfold in conjunction with website-based activities over the course of weeks, according to a Sony-provided reviewer's guide.
INFAMOUS SECOND SON PAPER TRAIL 2017 PATCH
Only the Yankees, Astros and Red Sox end up publicly scorned because of it … and the latter two teams both took things further.īack in September of 2017, the Red Sox were fined for the infamous “Apple Watch” dugout fiasco, and instead, like children, cried about how the Yankees were using their network camera to spy on their dugout.Infamous: Second Son launches tomorrow, and as you might expect it will have a day-one patch to download. Teams across the league skirt the boundaries, playing around with their new toy. (9/9)Īdditionally, more teams took part in these sign-stealing tactics, but only the Yankees, Red Sox and Astros have been publicly implicated! That doesn’t lessen what the Yankees did, but it certainly suggests this was a baseball-wide issue, akin to the steroid era when the league/media decided to single out specific players while allowing others to (for some reason) get off scot-free. It’s factual to say that there are different levels of cheating. It’s simply facile to treat them as the same. The Yankees, Red Sox and Astros - and others whose indiscretions have not been proven publicly - did it. Using technology to steal signs was rampant in baseball.
INFAMOUS SECOND SON PAPER TRAIL 2017 SERIES
Would’ve been nice if they continued cheating like the Astros and Sox though, right? Yankees fans would take a tainted World Series right now, especially if it meant no players would be disciplined and their manager getting a 60-game vacation in Puerto Rico before promptly returning for the 2021 season. They bent the rules, the rules were then explicitly defined by MLB, and the tactics were stopped in their tracks. After that, there’s no evidence of further wrongdoing. The newest bit of information we received from the Yankees’ letter was that they were fined $100,000 for their infractions from 2015-16. It’s because they were the chief offenders in a wide-ranging scandal that persisted after commissioner Rob Manfred laid the groundwork for what was illegal and what was not. We really hate to tell you this, but there’s a clear reason why baseball forcibly disciplined Jeff Luhnow, AJ Hinch, Alex Cora and Red Sox video room coordinator JT Watkins (lol).
The Yankees’ “cheating” isn’t the same as the Astros’ and Red Sox’s Does not find they were illicitly using CF camera. Says the Yankees used their replay room to decode catchers' signs and relay them to runners on second - which multiple teams were doing. The infamous Yankees Letter … is pretty much a nothing-burger. Tough day for the haters, who were using the unsealed letter as their saving grace in every Twitter baseball argument known to man. So let’s direct your attention to arguably the most esteemed baseball insider out there in ESPN’s Jeff Passan, who deemed the findings as …. Why would any opposing fan believe a Yankees blog defending the very team it covers? And you know what, you’ve got a point! Houston and Boston fans continue believe this is a witch hunt, but is it? Is it really a witch hunt when the Yankees’ letter gets unsealed when there was no damning evidence whatsoever about the team’s actions? There’s a reason for the paper trail that’s been in the news for over two years now. There’s a big difference between cheating before it’s officially deemed cheating (still not good, though!), and cheating after MLB says “Hey, this is clearly cheating and is now considered illegal, so please stop doing it.” The Yankees can firmly be placed in the former category, while the Astros and Red Sox are the evident offenders of the latter. New York fans have understandably drawn a line to avoid having the discourse veer into that dangerous territory, because, yes, this discussion is nuanced, whether you want it to be or not. What many have denied, however, is that the Yankees’ transgressions were on the same level as the Houston Astros’ and Boston Red Sox’s. Very few have denied that as a plausible finding in MLB’s investigations into various sign-stealing operations since 2015. By Thomas Carannante 6 months ago Follow Tweet
