Buehrle accuses Rangers

[ORS]

Mark Buehrle, fresh off a loss to the Rangers in Texas, thinks something fishy is going on.

 

"I've heard rumors, so it's not just me saying this," Buehrle said. "I've heard it from tons of people. It's not just me saying this. ... Something's going on because they hit so good at home. The way they hit here, you'd have to raise an eyebrow to figure something's going on. Look at the stats. I'm not just making this up."

 

Texas entered Tuesday batting .285 with 125 homers at home, compared to .256 with 86 homers on the road.

What does he think is going on? Sign stealing.

 

"Certain pitches you throw, they lay off them like they knew it was coming," Buehrle said.

 

Stealing signs is common in baseball, and it's legal if done on the field. But using television or having a spy in center field to pick off a catcher's signals is forbidden.

 

"To have somebody out in center field or whatever they're doing, that's cheating," Buehrle said.

Well if they can't pitch, all that offense is all for naught. Not to mention Ameriquest Field favors hitters.

 

Edit: Hmm.

I think he was talking about stealing signs...?

What an ass clown. I hate people that complain after a loss. He says he hears rumors about the Rangers stealing signs, but don't you think every pitcher that had a bad outting in Texas would have complained? You're telling me Mark is the only pitcher that has the balls to speak up when getting screwed? Just because the Rangers kick ass at home doesn't mean they're cheating. Go get your diaper changed Mark.

Whats the sign for hanging breaking balls in the middle of the plate?

Dude's on one of my fantasy teams. He's just lucky I already clinched a playoff spot or his ass would be benched indefinitely.

it's a middle finger. and I am giving it to mark right now.

What an idiot. Make the pitch better, I saw the highlights, half of his breaking balls had no snap to the at all.

So did he say this before or after he got abducted by space aliens while his plane was passing over Akron?
