If you’re going to torch your baseball career<\/a>, at least do it spying on a team worth spying on.<\/p>\n

As first reported by The Athletic, the Los Angeles Angels<\/a> fired advance scout Justin Prinstein after he was caught filming the Colorado Rockies’ coaching staff from the stands during their June series at Coors Field.<\/p>\n

This story somehow gets even funnier once you learn the details.<\/p>\n

Prinstein unironically referred to himself as “The Baseball Spy” on social media, and, to reiterate, he threw away his entire professional career spying on the Colorado Rockies<\/em>.<\/p>\n

MLB EFFECTIVELY OUTLAWS USE OF AI ON DUGOUT IPADS DURING GAMES<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Think about that for a second. This wasn’t the Dodgers. It wasn’t the Yankees. It’s a squad more than 20 games behind the division lead.<\/p>\n

It was the Rockies, a franchise so bad that whatever he filmed probably hurt the Angels more than it helped. Imagine burning down your life’s work just to gain an insider edge against a team that barely knows how to play fundamental baseball.<\/p>\n

According to The Athletic<\/a>, Prinstein sat in the designated scout section in Denver, pulled out his smartphone, and started recording Rockies coaches in broad daylight.<\/p>\n

He wasn’t using covert equipment \u00e0 la Conor Stalions. The “spy” was just holding up a cellphone in the middle of a packed ballpark, making him perhaps the least subtle sleuth in baseball history. Someone in the stadium spotted him, notified MLB, and the league office quickly alerted Anaheim.<\/p>\n

Since the Houston Astros<\/a> sign-stealing scandal, MLB strictly bans using personal electronics to record coaches or decode signals.<\/p>\n

ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Former GM Perry Minasian, who was fired in late June, acted fast and fired Prinstein on the spot.<\/p>\n

Minasian then had to make one of the most embarrassing phone calls of his life, reaching out to Rockies management to apologize for trying to steal secrets from a team that has no secrets worth stealing.<\/p>\n

MLB concluded Prinstein acted alone, sparing the Angels any fines or lost draft picks.<\/p>\n

To top it all off, the stolen intel did not even work.<\/p>\n

The awful Rockies still went out and won two out of three games in the series anyway.<\/p>\n

Risking your entire career to break MLB rules while spying on Colorado, getting caught immediately, and still losing the series … the only secret he uncovered was how fast you can get fired.<\/p>\n
