Not the proper word for this discussion because by definition, what the Astros did was "organic", but it was cheating, while a runner on 2nd base relaying what the pitch will be to the hitter is also "organic", but not considered cheating. The use of technology is one factor that can turn something from that which is allowed into something that is considered cheating.Organically, by players in the field, over time, watching the catcher and memorizing their signs as they relay them to the pitcher.
