The Diamondbacks have admitted that it was indeed an electronic watch that was on Prieto’s wrist. However, they are denying that they used it to gain an unfair advantage. At this point there should definitely be a punishment levied on the Diamondbacks as the watch itself is a violation. The investigation is also far from over as far as any additional implications as there is no reason to take the Diamondbacks word on this.

If you had the thought last night that the Diamondbacks were hitting against the Rockies like they knew what was coming, you may not have been wrong. The New York Post is reporting that MLB has launched an investigation into why one of the Arizona coaches was wearing what appears to be an electronic watch.

Whether or not the possibly illegal electronic equipment was used to gain an unfair advantage appears to be the subject of the investigation. However, the mere presence of an electronic watch in the dugout violates MLB rules. Those rules were recently reasserted in a statement by Rob Manfred after the Red Sox were caught using an electronic watch to help steal signs from the New York Yankees. While the Red Sox escaped with only a monetary fine, Manfred warned other teams that the presence of similar equipment in the dugout would result in more substantial punishment.

Combine that statement with the fact that this happened in a one-game, winner-take-all playoff that ended one team’s playoff hopes while another got to advance possibly through cheating, it makes it difficult to figure out what sort of punishment would be adequate to not just prevent this from happening again but also be a sufficient punishment for the team that benefited. There would also be the question of if the Rockies organization should receive some sort of recompense for possibly being cheated out of a fair chance to advance in the playoffs

Good luck with that. Thought it would be Rondon.

All of wilson pre cubs #'s should go out the window he has not been the same on the cubs and he faced the nationals in august gave up a walk,hit,run in an inning.

It's whatever.Rondon aint much better tbh cubs bullpen suspect
 
the cubs were way behind the nats in most categories at the all star break — post all star break the cubs have scored 90 more runs than the nats and have an .811 ops compared to a .744 ops for the nats — washington has been a very average offensive team for quite a while now

cubs are clicking

hendricks and quintana arguably having their best starts of the year of late too

cubs in 4
 
yankees now face the presumptive cy young winner at his place

followed by the 2nd best pitcher on the team who pitches better on the road than at home?!?!?!

its as good as done

BANG THE DRUMS
 
so farrell benched devers who hits lefties well and is one of the few bats in their lineups who can change the game with a single swing over chris young

the same chris young he left off the playoff roster for someone who couldnt even run

now you put him in the lineup the next day

that winning streak wasnt a fluke

they are that good

and theyre battle tested from pushing the ws to extra innings in game seven last autumn so they know what needs to be done to win in october

cleveland on a mission

they just seem primed to swallow up any competition that comes in their way from the american or national leagues
