lol at his reasoning....the dugout was making alot of noise. yeah, in multiple different at bats just before you absolutely rock a pitch that you know is coming.
I have a bit more of an issue with this than just picking up on tipped pitches yourself and then relaying to the dugout what the issue is when you return. Looking over and getting instruction from your dugout while you're prepped in the box is a bit sleezy, lol. But in the end, its up to the pitcher to not tip his pitches. Atleast they weren't using trash cans, cameras and buzzers.
