Are you actually kidding me, though? They change their signs up constantly. There's no way someone could decipher through all the misdirections and fake signs to find the proper pitch and location, and then relay it to the batter in time to actually use the information. It's just so patently absurd.

But Cueto has been pitching like an all star since being in KC it is the only explanation

Let this be a lesson, when KC wins it's because they're so great and best team ever, Jays win and it's because they're stealing signs.

The man in centerfield tipped off Tulo that Cueto was going to miss his location and hang a fastball one foot higher than Perez's glove

LOL! I believe he also tipped the Jays off that Cueto was setting up outside to walk half our lineup.

Not really. There were a fair amount of posters here saying the Royals were stealing signs after the first 2 games.

Kind of lost in all this is that it doesn't sound like Volquez was taking this seriously at all. Good on him for having perspective.

 

Good on Volquez for rightly pointing out that it's logistically impossible. Not to mention, no self-respecting major leaguer is going to rely on stolen signs to determine which pitch to swing at. I don't hear Alex Rios chiming in saying, "Yeah, we stole signs when I was there, the team management encourags it."

 

Even if you were stealing signs, you would never rely on them being 100% accurate. Furthermore, if you are getting your signs stolen, that's completely on you.

You have one set of signs when the bases are empty and a different set when there's a runner on 2nd. Whether it's 3rd sign is the pitch, or the first sign that comes after I put down two fingers, or whatever the case may be, catchers always do this. If you give straight signs when a runner is on second and can see your fingers, you'd have to be a f***ing idiot.
