Every season, I have had to educate other blues and coaches that there is nothing wrong with taking the signal while not in contact with the pitchers plate.
I fully understand it is legal for them to take the signal from where ever they wish. But, after stepping on they must at least simulate (pause) taking a signal with the hands separated. What I was saying was Im not sure why suddenly so many pitchers seem to be taking the signal off the plate. By doing so it makes them have to make a concious effort to keep the hands apart after stepping on. Just to easy to forget and bring the hands together to quickly at a crucial moment in the game.
