Proof the Brewers are stealing signs, again

Some of this would check out; the pitch Vaughn hit has terrible data over the last four years. It is not a pitch hitters do well on (location, pitch, handedness...). I found a single instance of a RHH hitting a HR on a LHH sweeper in that spot. 

I still don't think they're cheating illegally. Them gaining that advantage? Yeah I'd buy that. 

I've watched a lot of games from the Brewers this year.

This was the first series I've seen any gesturing at 2B. I don't know if the pitchers were tipping and the man on 2B was relaying it or if they were deeking them, but... they were doing something.

But they were also significantly better hitting on the road vs home. I'm taking this whole thread to be a bit sarcastic, but... it did seem like they were trying to give something for a couple batters on 2B. 

If they knew what was coming on other pitchers, I don't know what the hell Turang, Yelich and others were swinging at most of the series. Turang in particular was terrible until that tack on HR.

When has William Contreras policed bat flips? 

I assumed most of this thread is facetious... with some funny arguments that I'm not sure if they're serious(Yelich power resurgence when his SLG was +50 points last year and it's 5 points higher than '23) or Vaughn's resurgence...

But I see a lot of this about Contreras and his attitude and other than showing a lot of emotion after his HR(the 1st one)... I don't recall when he's policed anyone or done anything else. He seems pretty laid back even without Wilson as a contrast. 

I believe squally is talking about Contreras who took issue with Tucker when he walked. Tucker kind of threw his bat and Conteras had words for him.

MLB team have stolen signs since the dawn of time. Good for any team that can grab an advantage, especially in a high stakes postseason series.

Not every stolen sign is blatant Houston Astros level cheating. That was different and completely illegal. Not saying the OP is suggesting that…

Teams know way more than we do. If teams steal signs you can use that against them.  Just implement the little orphan Annie secret decoder ring and trick them.

Not stealing signs against the Dodgers.
