August 11, 201115 yr Do a better job of giving signs, I say. Also doesn't mean you can't get dotted for attempting it.
August 11, 201115 yr ESPN the Mag is coming out with a stor about Toronto stealing signs from the outfield and flashing signals to the batter. That crosses the line. If it's the runner on 2nd base stealing them that's a "you" problem.
August 11, 201115 yr I agree, kind of cheap to do it from center field with binoculars. As far as showing a sign from 2nd, I say get some new signs. It's not that difficult, really.
August 11, 201115 yr I don't see anything wrong with stealing signs from second base. Makes the pitcher and catcher work a little harder. I do take issues with binnoculars from center.

August 12, 201115 yr Like to see Bautista's home and away HR stats. For 2011: Home: 48 games, 209 plate appearances, 16 home runs (1 home run per 13.06 PA) Road: 57 games, 256 plate appearances, 17 home runs (1 home run per 15.06 PA) For 2010: Home: 81 games, 335 plate appearances, 33 home runs (1 home run per 10.15 PA) Road: 80 games, 348 plate appearances, 21 home runs (1 home run per 16.57 PA) Seems he obviously hits at a better pace at home than on the road, but I would think a difference of 3+/- would be about right for home/away. The difference of 6 in 2010 is a little large, but it seems more like an outlier, a one year statistical anomaly that is back into line this season. Edited August 12, 201115 yr by gchs_uk9
August 12, 201115 yr Like to see Bautista's home and away HR stats. Not much of a difference. H: 16-36-.329-.469-.683 A: 17-40-.298-.430-.600

The difference of 6 in 2010 is a little large. In 2010 Jay Bruce hit 19 HR at home and 6 on the road. If 6 is a big gap, what about 13? This whole sign stealing talk is hogwash.
August 12, 201115 yr ^ Check out the splits for Carlos Gonzalez. His home numbers are out of this world compared to his away.
