I have zero issue with him doing it - smart baseball. The video having the subtitles on what to look for was excellent.

I'm going to start trying to pay more attention to this with a runner on second. It's something I would coach to do if I were a coach.

Update
Morneau and Gardenhire laughed off this claim...
The defense being Mauer was being way too obvious to actually be stealing signs.

Not sure if I believe them or not

BS - the guy had it pegged perfectly - you can tell by how fast at one point Mauer tries to scratch his earhole as Verlander is in his windup. And just exactly how often does the earhole of a batting helmut itch? Sorry Mauer, you got OWNED. And I too am fine with it - if you ain't cheating you ain't trying.

I guess I'll have to wait until I get home. Can't access Utube from work. Damn the suits!

I just got home and was able to see it. Screens are completely different at work and home. I just love that! That is the inside access that I look for in tv entertainment. That an the on court smack talking going on during a basketball game. I used to do alot of that myself back in school. That is good stuff.

When you see the look on Jim Leland's face you know he's thinking,If this game was not so important there would be a fastball in that somnabitches ear and then I want to see what the signal for that. is.

Interesting, because most hitters almost always say that they prefer notto know whats coming.

This is part of baseball, as players and coaches steal signs all the time. I remember when Nossek was the Sox bench coach, he would almost always call pitchouts when the opposition team had a steal/hit-n-run on.
