The pitcher must either take the signs from on the rubber or "simulate" taking a sign. That might be the FED terminology, but the purpose remains the same: To keep the pitcher from quick-pitching.
But I'm curious as to the answer from the more experienced members of this board. Taking signs off the rubber in OBR is not penalized a balk, its just a "don't do that". Assuming the pitcher contacting the rubber before bringing the hands together, what, as an umpire, do you do?
