You know sign stealing in baseball is legal? What the Astros did was
deemed illegal. As far as the suspension, way overboard. 8 games in a 60 game season, that's 13.33% of the season. Equal to 21.6 games in a normal 162 game regular season. You see this year baseball is only playing 60 games this year in response to covid 19. Manfred (MLB commissioner) did say MLB was going to drop the hammer on any team punishing the Astros for cheating, since he gave them a pass on cheating. I think Bill Belichick (he is also a cheater) must be a consultant for the Astros.
