Players shouldn't lift their hand up. Stay ready to hit because it's not a given you'll get time. It was not even close to being loud on tv. You could barely hear it. He was facing away from the ump. Had to say it loud enough for him to hear.
Ell... I understand you think you are an authority on baseball, but I'm telling you... it was very clear on TV. I also did not say that a batter SHOULD lift their hand, just that most DO make some attempt.
I agree they need to stay ready to hit, but be honest, how often do you see it, even at this level?
The batter attempted to deceive the pitcher, enough that the umpire called it and almost immediately pointed at the batter!

I'm not posting as an "authority". I'm just relaying how I saw it when it happened and the multiple replays. I saw his mouth move. And even with a very quiet box, I barely heard it. As many have said, it's a judgment call. I don't think it was an obvious deception.
