That might be a true-ism in lower level amateur sports.

never happens on the amateur level. Tells do happen on the amateur level. A person wouldn't become a winning starting pitcher in the series by having tells to his pitches. He'd be spotted immediately and never make it to that level.
it's a Gopher Pitch comm.
let's look at old vids to see if this is true.
SEVEN times? SEVEN? SUDDENLY?
You mean, one guy caught on, on one team, at the end of the season, and passed it on to destroy a pitcher who'd been supposedly doing that all his career?
Where's the pitching coach and films? Nah............I played baseball too long to swallow that, and I've quit watching because every important money game is being blatantly influenced by intentionally bad calls by refs and shitty play by certain players. Its all about the money.
He would now have to change his style........but everyone knows his 'tell'.....he might as well retire now, right?
Finals in pro sports are fixed.
I don't disagree in theory that major leagues are fixed. {Though I think in smaller ways conducive to gambling lines and props}
There are many ways to fix a game.... Nearly all of them better.
A pitcher tipping his pitches has to be the dumbest way to do it. The catcher, pitching coach, the manager, the fielders, basically everyone has to take a payoff to make it fly. Not to mention it's in the MSM today which is an automatic red flag. Kind of a stupid plan if you ask me.
You can have tendencies that nobody picked up on and when someone finally notices, you’re gonna get rocked. I think I’m this case Bryce Harper picked up on something and told his teammates. Could just be a grip thing or angle of the glove or release point. Who knows.
