I could understand a team being upset if a home team had some technology-driven sign stealing scheme that gave them an unfair advantage, but here, both teams have the same opportunity to get a guy on second base and have him try to interpret and communicate the signs. Why is this not simply "doing everything you can to win the game?" I don't get it.

I think everyone tries to do it. When it works, then people get pissed. When it's obvious, your guys get plunked. But I'm with you. Why the fuck would they need signs in the first place if the guy on second wasn't trying to steal them?
