Thanks all for the advice.
LDUB---It wasnt obvious to everyone. The catcher, I guess was just clueless. Which is surprising, as this was the championhsip game, after a long week of 15+ games. So for a team to get that far, you figure, must be well-coached, players are in tune to stuff like that, etc. The batter could hear, obviously, so that means that F2 could. Why he didnt pick up on it, dont know.
ATL BLUE--Continuing on your theme of telling the coach to stay in the box, first of all he wasnt CLOSE to blocking my view, and YES, I know the true meaning of what you saying. But why play games? And, If I tell him he had to stay in box, what do you think happens the instant the opposing 1B coach steps one foot outside? Yup, the sign stealing coach now lets me know I need to make the OTHER coach stay in the box. And hes right. Now I just picked up the shi**y end of the stick.
The second I tell the unknowing opposing coach to stay in the box, I just opened the door. He asks why.
Sounds like Im instigating, and inserting myself way too much into the game.
Yeah, inside Im thinking this stealing signs (for this age group) is BS, but Im there to call safe/out etc, which I CAN see from my spot. Not alter the course of the game.
