Buzzer Gate is upon us and Twitter went into full detective mode once these allegations went viral, including Trevor Bauer who confirmed he's heard these allegations.

I’ve heard this from multiple parties too, for what it’s worth... https://t.co/zDlp0x4bKs

3 of the top 4 lineups in the modern era were anchored by Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig:

Highest OPS+ since 1900
1927 Yankees (127)
1931 Yankees (125)
1930 Yankees (123)
2017 Astros (123)

The other stole signs brazenly.

Here's Ken Rosenthal, who broke the news of the Astros cheating scandal, asking Jose Altuve why he was telling teammates not to rip his jersey off after the walk-off home run in Game 6 of the 2019 ALCS: pic.twitter.com/xoBGX159QG

You'll be seeing this a lot.

Jose Altuve signaling to his teammates NOT to rip off his jersey in celebration because it would "allegedly" reveal a buzzer that would go off when triggered by someone on the Astros video team.
