This is one of the more poorly worded rules in OBR. The rule should be ammended to read:

"The pitcher shall take his signs from the rubber."

The catcher has nothing to do with the intent of the rule. I've heard from ill-informed coaches on numerous occasions that the opposing team's pitcher is taking signs from the stands or dugout, wanting an infraction.

I just tell them it's not who gives the pitcher his signs, it's where he has to take the signs that matters.
