The Boston Red Sox face’s were … red … on Tuesday after they were reportedly caught stealing signs from the New York Yankees using an Apple Watch.

Naturally, twitter reacted appropriately to a Boston-based team caught in a cheating scandal.

Me: Excuse me, but would you happen to have the time?
Red Sox player: [Looks at Apple watch] It's "he's throwing a curveball" o'clock.

How much time must it take for the #RedSox to steal signs with an Apple Watch and relay it to batter? No wonder they're swings are so late.

Which Red Sox player should I get to sign my Apple Watch?

I had no idea about the cheating scheme I implemented to try and save my job. I was completely unaware of the plan I created. #redsox pic.twitter.com/xDb5u38PQy

REPORTER: Were you guys stealing signs?

FARRELL: Not on my watch!

REPORTER: So you weren't?

FARRELL: No, we were. Just not on MY watch

The Red Sox are scoundrels who have cheated the game but they did it to the Yankees so I'm pretty cool with it

The Red Sox were caught using an Apple Watch to cheat. Can't they just use steroids like the cool teams?

Belichick is going to be ticked hearing about the Red Sox cheating with an Apple Watch. Mainly because he never even thought of that.
