Sigh....

Another simple rule (and this one without a penalty) and everyone wants to complicate everything. We as umpires do not know when the pitcher is taking his signs because we are not inside the pitcher's head. Maybe its a sign, maybe it's not. We as umpires shouldn't even get involved unless a manager is raising a question and then we should be setting everyone straight. We should only be watching for the quick pitch or any other illegal moves that the pitcher may commit that would result in a safety issue or a balk.
