Runner on second tells the hitter what pitch is coming, a breakdown #mlb #padres #giants #baseball

We have another instance of relaying signs to the batter from second base. Fitzgerald gets himself a little base knock, which moves Patrick Bailey to second base. There he is. And here's a little preview of what he's doing. You can see this shot where he just starts peeking into the glove. Look at him kind of leaning left. He starts looking up like, "Oh, what do you got there?" And then he's going to toss a signal the batter's way. Grabs his jersey. That's one of the signals that means fast ball. So here you go. Here's the first pitch. You got the batter and he just grabbed his jersey right there. But Paveta steps off. So that was mission averted. Let's start over. You can see Bailey take his lead. He's walking. He stops. And then you can see him kind of leaning in right here. Huh. What do you got? You see those shoulders go up. He's just peeking into the glove looking at the grip. Gives the sign. Pulled the jersey. Fast ball. And he takes it now. 91 miles per hour. And it looked like it might have been a cutter or something. I don't know, but every stat page says that that was a fourseam fast ball and that's the signal he gave. Now, here's the other signal. Okay, next one. Peaks his head in. Rubs the helmet. That means breaking ball is coming. Curveball outside. He takes it. Next pitch. Let's see what we got. Bailey's looking in, waiting for him to put the hand in the glove. Once he does, he takes his little peek. Look how blatant he's being. Just like H. Pulls the jersey. So, that means fastball. Now, he's being so blatant about this. And teams have guys sitting in the dugout just watching the runner on second staring at him to see if he's doing anything. And Baileyy's got to know that. So, he doesn't seem to really care. And he would have got away with it cuz if this is a fast ball, which it is. And if he does hit it, which he didn't, then all this would have worked. Would have got them some runs. So, next sign. Here we go. Another fast ball. Pulled the jersey again. And the catcher now is trying to do fake glove taps to get him off the scent. He doesn't know. This batter already knows a fast ball's coming. He's banging the dirt like it's going to be a slider, like a back foot slider or something. No, he's not falling for it. Fast ball. Missed his spot by a lot. Next batter comes in. Curveball. Yep, that's the sign. And he's thinking, "Oh, and the catcher's doing fake gloves up here like it's going to be another high fast ball." No, it's a curveball. tries to hit it, fouls it back. Pitching coach comes out because he's like, "I got to put an end to this. That's all it's a little too obvious as, "Hey, they got your stuff." He's like, "Oh, really? I thought something was up." Yeah. All right. He's going to make a big difference in his glove. He puts it down. Now Bailey is trying to peek in, but Paveet's got his glove right down by his belt, not up by his chest. Now he brings it up last second. Fast ball looking. turns around says, "What now, Punk? Huh? I didn't see that one. Huh? My coach got my back." And Bailey just kind of laughs at him and it's like, "It's all in the fun.
