What is taking a sign to you?
Ok thread on eteam made me start thinking and would like some others opinions on this.
OP was about taking sign off pitchers plate, steping on plate and getting an IP called for not taking, or simulating taking a sign on the rubber.
My opinion is if the pitcher steps on the rubber hands aparts and then pauses as she is looking toward the catcher then she satisfies that part of the rule for me as PU.
So my question is what do you all look for to fulfill the "takes or simulates taking a sign"??? Is it just a pause or do you look for some type of acknowledgment from pitcher?
