During a live game???? Even though I wasn't there, the article is pretty direct as to what the video tapper was doing, surely even you can pick up that the sole intent of this camerman was to steal signals "during a game" using an electronic device.. How do you justify that???

 

But. . . . .

now, I'm not doubting a thing you say, but then explain the hand signals which were either directed to third or the batter during the game?? that is of course if the article is true.

 

It's not an impossible task, i have batters taking signals from a runner on second, looking over the pitchers head and 30' up for a second is not an impossible thing to do, with plenty of time to get ready for the pitcher. if you trained them that way, it would work, but i'm not saying that cc did, but it is practical and possible. Lets go further, if this is being done to gain a slight advantage, is it worth the possible cost to your players??? you know, loss of all wins and not allowed to enter the state playoffs?? that is the penality i'm told. Oh, and on a personal note, I find it hard to believe that you analize a batter's form from 200 feet away + 30' up. but that's just my opinion.

 

bet your wrong

every kid i know in softball tries to read the catcher or look in the dugout to steal a signal. but before you get off the subject, remember we're talking about using an electronic device during a game to read the catchers calls - as stated in the article. Now be careful, in 200+ posts and 3 years on tbr, I've never said anything bad about cc, and from what i read, cc has more against than for. I am neither. I'm trying to discuss an article with you in a civil manner, without throwing insults. (and you know i'm really good at that)

 

your reading more than what is said

I clearly stated: "IF YOU TRAINED THEM THAT WAY". I didnt say that your players WERE trained that way or that you were training them that way. you stated that it was improbable to take signals and i countered with the statement that it could be done. (article makes it look believeable doesnt it) but hey, I didnt say you did it, now did I ????? son, I wish you wouldn't have deleted you comments, it was a good discussion. I know you're proud of cc and their program, and you dont need to get upset because someone questions an article published about your school program. remember, not everyone believes everything written.

 

excellent response rangeroo, so much to risk for so little gained. thanks titan for the game description, not being there, I had some doubt as to the article, but you've cleared that up. Titan, if we film our kids, its from the side or back, with a borrowed camera, on a stand and unattended, like most teams i've been involved with. $12k for a standard lift, wish we had that kind of money, heck, we're not even allowed to collect money to watch the game. lol
