When they make it obvious, it's easy. I don't worry about the discreet.
But really, how often do pitchers make it discreet? What are they trying to hide when they do? It's not as if they're trying to circumvent a rule that has huge ramifications if they get caught, like bat shaving or ball altering. It's a pitching sign for crying out loud. If they want to hide the fact that they are getting it from the bench, so what?
I was merely pointing out that, apparently unlike all other sanctioning organizations, LL requires the pitcher to be on the plate to take her signs. No big deal.
