August 8, 200619 yr I hadn't noticed this short story anywhere else, and I found it while reading the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle today: "Rick Honeycutt played 21 years in the Major Leagues, but this was a new one for the LA Dodgers pitching coach. 'I've never seen a guy stop in the middle of a windup,' Honeycutt said. Derek Lowe did just that Friday, with Florida's Cody Ross at the plate. Lowe said he heard a fan tipping pitches by yelling whether catcher Russell Martin had set up inside or outside. 'It was my dad,' Ross said, laughing."
August 8, 200619 yr the rest of the piece: Lowe Comes to a Surprising Stop By Bill Shaikin, Times Staff Writer August 6, 2006 MIAMI ? Rick Honeycutt played 21 years in the major leagues, but this was a new one for the Dodgers pitching coach. "I've never seen a guy stop in the middle of a windup," Honeycutt said. Derek Lowe did just that Friday, with Florida's Cody Ross at the plate. Lowe said he heard a fan tipping pitches, by yelling whether catcher Russell Martin had set up inside or outside. "It was my dad," Ross said, laughing. Neither Martin nor Honeycutt said he could hear the fan, but Florida's Jeremy Hermida said he could. "I'm not trying to listen to fans in the stands," Ross said. "Fans could have been yelling 'Sinker!' and it wouldn't have mattered. He's still tough to hit." http://www.latimes.com/sports/printedition...lines-pe-sports

That'd be absurd for security/umpire to do anything about it. The fans have a right to do it, just as they have a right to say "D. Lowe sucks!"
