Another of the "unwritten rules". You don't flaunt it, and you don't get caught. Cameras and the like are explicitly banned of course but I'm sure every team has some sort of system, even if it's just informal for things like high/low/inside/outside or fastball/off speed. If the entirety of the NL had their sign systems broken last year by the Cardinals, more power to them but my guess is if anyone really suspected them of stealing signs en mass you'd see a deluge of called low and away breaking balls that somehow end up fastballs up and in.

Groucho Marxist posted:Deadspin found out about even crazier poo poo Mitch Williams did while coaching last weekend, including ordering a beanball on a 10 year old! I wonder what it would cost to get Joe Carter to come sit in the stands and just stare at Williams all tournament.

Crazy Ted posted:The Andre Dawson hypothetical bobblehead should be one from the game in '88 or so where he got hit in the head and his helmet broke into pieces, and his response was to get up and try to fight people. I'm not saying anything, just sayin' Eric Show didn't live long after that day in 87. The better version would be the 90's version of Dawson, and you could pair it up with collectible mini bats for throwing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAKkHxkkCyA

Deathlove posted:I don't think I agree that it's the worst facility in MLB - I mean, it's no O.Co, but the stories are pretty hilarious. The Cubs clubhouse/training facilities are pretty horrid by MLB standards but the heart of the deal is still signage-development-revenue, which is why everything ended up on hold until the rooftop were dealt with. I'm not sure what's happened in the last couple of weeks to make the Ricketts say gently caress It, but it lends credence to the talk that it's just a couple of the rooftop owners completely unwilling to cut any sort of deal. I'm guessing the rooftop owners will end up getting some sort of payoff until the end of that incredibly stupid contract the Tribune signed with them in the end, then most of the buildings will end up getting converted back into condos. I'd love to see how much the rooftops ended up spending to buy the buildings and more or less turn them into sports bars with seats on the roof, and with court proceedings upcoming I'll probably get that chance!
