Due to the speed of the game and its intrinsic call for repetition, baseball players at the highest level of their craft might be the closest thing to athletic machines you will find in this world. But baseball players are human, and humans are not machines. Every player has a chink in the armor. A hole in their swing. A gambler’s tell. Most of their flaws are barely perceptible or occur too close to the critical point to take advantage because baseball players excel at concealing flaws. It is an essential component to sustaining a major league career.

Nevertheless, sometimes a Fernando Rodney happens.

We can see with our eyes that Fernando Rodney is getting shellacked night after night. The Blue Jays have eyes too, and a kind enough heart to inform the Mariners prior to leaving town Sunday that Rodney had been tipping his pitches. This very important piece of information was mentioned by Dave Sims during Monday night’s broadcast.

Make no mistake however – the Blue Jays ONLY had their best interest in mind. You see, this was the last meeting between the Mariners and Jays of the 2015 season. What the Jays essentially told the Mariners was this: "Thanks for the free runs. Now please put an end to this Fernando Rodney pitch-tipping horseshit so you can beat the teams we need you to beat so we can make the playoffs." And who can blame them?

Crazy to think the slightest identifier can be the difference between a home run and a strikeout. Shame on the pitching staff for not catching this. If an opposing teams staff can catch it, there is no reason why YOUR team can’t catch it.
