River Ave. Blues has the best take on Joe Mauer allegedly stealing signs that I’ve seen. To me, this is a non-story. Isn’t a pitcher and catcher supposed to have an alternative set of signs to use with a runner at second? Maybe Joe has ESP(n) and can just read the mind of Laird.
What’s next, batters will be accused of cheating because of working counts until they see a pitch they like? Bah. It’s October, and if pitcher/catcher battery hasn’t figured out how to change up their signs at this late point in the season then maybe they deserve some punishment in the form of earned runs.
