LOS ANGELES -- Chicago Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist laughed off sign-stealing accusations by Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal, while Dodgers manager?Dave Roberts?simply called it part of the game.I think its hilarious, Zobrist said Monday afternoon. No, I was not stealing signs. But I appreciate him thinking my baseball IQ is that high. ... I dont know what he was looking at or what he thought he saw. But really, from second base at Wrigley, its very tough to even see the signs. Its so dark. All the lights are behind the hitter. ... But I think all catchers are probably a little paranoid about that.Grandal agreed, saying he is indeed paranoid about baserunners stealing signs. He thought Zobrist was relaying them from second base in Game 1 on Saturday while Addison Russell was at the plate. So the Dodgers switched the signs.All the sudden, Russell is not taking good swings at sliders, looking like hes looking for a fastball and in a certain location, Grandal told the LA Times over the weekend. Did we know Zobrist had the signs and was doing something for it? Yeah, we did. Thats why we do it.Roberts didnt seem fazed by the notion that an opponent would attempt to steal signs.I think when you watch baseball games, every teams going to try to get any advantage they can, so thats kind of the gamesmanship part of the game, Roberts said.Thats why catchers or guys on second base give multiple signs and change sequences. So if they are (stealing signs), it wouldnt be a surprise, and theres many clubs that weve played against that do the same thing. Thats part of the game.Zobrist continued to deny the charge even while admitting hes attempted to steal signs in the past -- just not the very recent past.Ive tried before, but its never worked out, Zobrist said.Im, like, trying to read them from back there. But its just never worked out. ... And thats the thing: You dont want to relay it to the hitter if youre not positive. Half the time Im not even looking because youre not ready. Im looking at the sign from the third-base coach. Im trying to pick up to where Im trying to see the ball off the bat to where Im getting a good jump, stuff like that. So even when I do feel like I have time to look at it and see if I can catch up with the sequence, I dont. Half the time, I have trouble following our own pitchers sequence.The Cubs and Dodgers resume the NLCS on Tuesday night. The series is tied 1-1. Air Max 97 Uomo Outlet .ca.
