southsider2k5 Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 But the last few years I have always kind of wondered if the Twins were stealing signs in the dome. For whatever reason they always seem to be on every pitch from every pitcher. The Twins have been accused of this in the past, but never really proven or disproven. What does everyone else think?

Guest wsc425 Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Stealing signs? Who knows. I hate these Twins guys, they never will give up for the franchise who plays where the Vikings play in the fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSOX45 The typical accusation is that there is an extra camera that is used to focus in on the catcher as he is giving signs to the pitcher, then depending on the stadium they change something somewhere in CF to indicate if it is a fastball or off speed, or what kind of location is being given. The most common accusation involved what is put up on the scoreboard such as a certian picture means a certian pitch or spot (such as a bio could be a fastball or a factoid would be off speed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 I wouldn't put it past them cheating sumb****es. No wonder they Hammered Mark last night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 It's part of the game. I bet they do steal signs. I bet we steal signs sometimes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Then I wish the Sox would quit stealing the "drop a popup" sign, and the "pitcher get hammered" sign, and the "ground into a double play" sign, cuz those are the signs they seem to be acting on... Stealing signs is apparently just part of the game. You still have to hit the damn ball and make plays in the field, and the Twins are doing that WAAAAAAAY more often than the Sox are.
