  • The Astros' Sign-Stealing Scandal
    The Astros’ Sign-Stealing Scandal Major League Baseball (MLB) fosters an extremely competitive environment. Tens of millions of dollars in salary (and endorsements) can hang in the balance, depending on whether a player performs well or poorly. Likewise, hundreds of millions of dollars of value are at stake for the owners as teams vie for World Series glory. Plus, fans, players and owners just want their team to win. And everyone hates to lose! It is no surprise, then, that the history of big-time baseball is dotted with cheating scandals ranging from the Black Sox scandal of 1919 (“Say it ain’t so, Joe!”), to Gaylord Perry’s spitter, to the corked bats of Albert Belle and Sammy Sosa, to the widespread use of performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) in the 1990s and early 2000s. Now, the Houston Astros have joined this inglorious list. Catchers signal to pitchers which type of pitch to throw, typically by holding down a certain number of fingers on their non-gloved hand between their legs as they crouch behind the plate. It is typically not as simple as just one finger for a fastball and two for a curve, but not a lot more complicated than that. In September 2016, an Astros intern named Derek Vigoa gave a PowerPoint presentation to general manager Jeff Luhnow that featured an Excel-based application that was programmed with an algorithm. The algorithm was designed to (and could) decode the pitching signs that opposing teams’ catchers flashed to their pitchers. The Astros called it “Codebreaker.” One Astros employee referred to the sign- stealing system that evolved as the “dark arts.”1 MLB rules allowed a runner standing on second base to steal signs and relay them to the batter, but the MLB rules strictly forbade using electronic means to decipher signs.

ALUMNI HELP THE ART FAIR GO GREEN This year, ASF Alumni wanted to contribute in lowering the waste generated during the Art Fair. Robb Wright, ASF parent, donated 5000 green plastic reusable plates to ASF, which the Alumni distrib- uted to 14 vendors. In total, 2000 plates were used and reused during the Art Fair, greatly lessening the need for plastic and reducing our impact on the environment. Cafeteria staff, paid by the Alumni Association, cleaned each plate after it was used, and the student members of the ASF Sustainabil- ity Committee, under the leadership of Mr. José Alaniz, set shop at two recycling stations, where Mr. Alaniz helped Art Fair attendees to properly separate the trash and place the plates in containers to be washed. It was amazing to see how the whole community contributed in this effort, and we are happy to announce that we now have 5000 plates in stock so staff, clubs and committees don’t have to use disposable plastic plates during any school event.

    Venkataraman and Bozzella 1 Devan Venkataraman & Nathaniel Bozzella EC 107 Empirical Project Sergio Turner 12/20/20 Stolen Signs to Stolen Wins? The Trash Can Banging Scandal Heard ‘Round the World Question To what extent, and in what ways, was the Houston Astros cheating scandal in the 2017 season effective in improving team performance? Introduction For the majority of the 2010’s, the Houston Astros were a very middle of the pack team. From 2010-2014, the team did not finish higher than 4th in their division. For most of their history, the Houston Astros participated in the National League Central Division, up until the 2013 season. Since the 2013 season, the Astros have competed in the American League West Division, where they have seen much more success. In 2011, the Astros, one of the worst teams in baseball with a record of 56-106, were sold to Jim Crane where he moved on from ex-GM Ed Wade, and hired Jeff Luhnow two days after the sale. While Ed Wade made some good decisions: debuting Jose Altuve in the 2011 season and drafting George Springer in the 2011 draft, his overall performance was not satisfactory for the new owner. The new GM, Jeff Luhnow, made some notable decisions as well, drafting Carlos Correa in the 2012 draft (debuting him in 2015) and drafting Alex Bregman in the 2015 draft (debuting him in the 2017 season). After another few unsuccessful seasons with records of 55-107, 51-111, and 70-92 in the 2012-2014 seasons, Jeff Luhnow decided to fire the current manager of the team, whom he had a Venkataraman and Bozzella 2 falling out with towards the end of the 2014 season.

    Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 12 (2021): How Scansis Functions How Scansis Functions: Lessons from the Houston Astros Sign-Stealing Crisis Karen L. Hartman LeAnne W. Woods Associate Professor Graduate Student Idaho State University Idaho State University [email protected] [email protected] Relevant Rhetoric, Vol. 12 (2021): How Scansis Functions On January 13, 2020 Major League Baseball (MLB) Commissioner, Robert D. Manfred Jr., released investigation findings confirming that the Houston Astros illegally used a video camera system to electronically steal signs during the 2017 regular season and postseason, in which they won the World Series, and early in the 2018 regular season. The findings exposed what has been referred to as “one of the biggest scandals in Major League Baseball history.”1 MLB eventually fined the organization $5 million and the Astros were forced to forfeit their first and second round draft picks in 2020 and 2021. The team’s owner, Jim Crane, also fired the general manager, Jeff Luhnow, and manager, A. J. Hinch. In this paper we analyze Major League Baseball’s Houston Astros organizational rhetoric and crisis response efforts after the organization was found guilty of cheating. Analysis spans from the beginning of the crisis on November 12, 2019 through March 12, 2020 and items analyzed include two Houston Astro press conferences and news stories published across 20 media outlets. By viewing the crisis as a “scansis,” a unique type of crisis and scandal characterized by moral outrage, the authors hope to further the

Sumeraj: Changing Baseball Forever Changing Baseball Forever by Jake Sumeraj (Honors English 1102) idden in the back rooms of any modern major league baseball franchise are a select few individuals that are drastically changing the way teams operate. Using numbers and Hborderline obsessive tracking of each player’s every move, they see things that elude the everyday baseball fan. These are the baseball analysts. Although they do the research that can potentially decide which player becomes the face of the team, these analysts can likely walk the city streets without a single diehard fan knowing who they are. Baseball analysts get almost zero publicity. However, their work is clearly visible at any baseball game. A catcher’s decision to call for a 2-0 curveball to a power hitter, the manager’s choice to continuously play a hitter that’s only batting 0.238, and a defensive shift to the left that leaves the entire right side of the infield open are all moves that are the result of research done by analysts.
