Disco tipping pitches?

[JaxRed]

I've got to admit I'm a little skeptical of the "Disco was tipping his pitches" theory. It's a little too convenient. Here's what would make me believe:

1) Some background. Give me a "we got a call from a viewer who said he saw how Disco was tipping. He called but word didn't filter to dugout till after Disco was removed. We checked the tape and sure enough he was right"

2) Pirates "Our advance scouts saw something that we were able to take advantage of".

I haven't seen anything to support the idea. Has anyone else?

I believe he was, he was getting teed off against in a way that seemed unreal, the viewer might have been a scout or another person in the organization

They were hitting him like they knew what was coming. It was like watching BP.

I mean, Tucker Barnhart said it after the game last night, so I'm not really sure we need anything more than that, right?

[JaxRed]

Yeah, I do. Tucker might be protecting his guy. I'd just like to see a little more "beef" associated with this.

Not only do I believe that Disco was tipping his pitches, but it was something pretty obvious to at least the Pirates.

Because there's no way you go from what Disco is even in an off game to that. That was one of the worst pitching performances I've ever seen and Disco isn't that bad.

They knew EVERYTHING that was coming.

The garbage can drumming was a clue.

If you go back and watch I believe all of the HR's were fastballs, that would be a sign he was tipping.

It definitely wasn't physical as he was throwing easy 97 mph gas. It seemed like his location wasn't too bad either. That said, there was some bad luck too with the check swing and bouncer singles that could have been outs...

No but I remember the location of them being pretty bad. Like middle of the plate and top of the strike zone fastballs that were just pounded.
