It's not cheating to observe what is in plain sight and correctly interpret it.

It is cheating to use software and video to decode it and transmit it electronically or otherwise to the players.

Stealing = ok. Using technology to steal = not ok

What about a base runner on 2nd?

2/18/20 7:32am

Illegal. Any additional object used to assist in stealing signs is illegal.

Not a shot at you, but the Astros and their fans should just lay low right now.
