High School coach tells his team that if an opposing base runner steals a pitch location and relays it to the batter, he's going to have his pitcher, when the ball is thrown back to her, turn and fire the ball at that base runner, hopefully pegging her for her indiscretion.
Is stealing pitches/locations considered just part of the game? Is the reaction of throwing the ball at the pitch stealer just part of the game? Or is it bush league/poor sportsmanship? And, if they're stealing your signs/locations, isn't this an indication that your signs stink and need to be improved?
