Straddling rubber to take signs
Most of the time pitchers take their signs while off the rubber at lower levels of ball. For the most part this seems to be done out of ignorance rather than an attempt to deceive the runner(s). Usually I'll see this more as BU than PU. I'll usually mention it to the offending coach and simply suggest that his catcher not give "signs" until the pitcher is on the rubber. This usually works for me. Jim/NYC
