If Steve is referring to my posts, we stopped discussing the OP a long time ago.
I have been discussing ONLY a situation in which F1 is straddling the rubber leaning in to take signs as if he were to pitch, or at least come set. With a runner on, this an extemely deceptive move as it could easily appear to the runner that F1 is in contact.
Let me point out, that I have never seen this, and I have never called a balk for an F1 taking signs off the rubber.
However, I am not yet conviced that the move I describe is legal deception.
