Catcher Kurt Suzuki and pitcher José Suarez said they had technical difficulties with the new signaling technology, but they gave it positive reviews.
LOS ANGELES — Angels catcher Kurt Suzuki was sending pitches so fast through the new signaling device that he doubted some of the messages he sent pitcher José Suarez on Monday night against the Dodgers.Suarez asked for pitches because he couldn’t hear the device that was placed under his cap toward the end of his outing. But there’s a simple solution for the anti-sign-stealing technology that’s also meant to increase game speed.
“I have no issues with it,” Suarez said. “It doesn’t bother me at all and this way is easier for me than using the signs. I was using the signs because I couldn’t hear, but this is much easier. … I’ll switch sides and maybe that can help with the hearing.” “Compared to some other things, that to me is probably the best thing that has come out so far is that device,” Maddon said. “Combine that with a pace clock at some point, that’s the change you’re looking for in the game, I think. The other stuff isn’t necessarily interesting, but that, once I got into it and I started to understand it and watch it, that makes all the sense in the world to me.
