It's been suggested that perhaps the Padres were using a man hidden in the batter's eye to steal signs from Yadier Molina and the Cardinals. The theory arose yesterday at the end of the game when Molina pointed out the "man in white" peeking through an open slot in the batter's eye. The man was outfitted with a pair of binoculars, a Padres logo'd shirt and a radio. All the things a sign stealer could possibly need to complete his nefarious works. When he was spotted by the eagle eyed catcher and umpire, he ducked back into the shadows.
Were the Padres stealing signs? Probably not.
