News came out on Sunday that the Houston Astros used Microsoft Excel spreadsheets as part of their scandal. They would track the pitches a pitcher would throw, any tells the pitcher had, velocity, and break. It was all a setup to better identify pitches that would be thrown so the camera could better identify them.
The use of technology makes this cheating. Most baseball fans can agree on that without issue. Is it cheating if it was in a notebook though? Andy Martino of SNY raised the question when he called out former New York Mets first baseman Carlos Delgado for keeping a notebook with the exact same stats during his playing career.
