Sunday afternoon the Cardinals beat the Padres in San Diego (STL 8, SD 5), though the Padres did make things interesting. They put the tying run on base in the ninth inning and made Trevor Rosenthal work for his fifth save of the season.

Brett Wallace grounded out to end the game, and during his at-bat, Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina got the attention and home plate umpire Sean Barber, and pointed something out in center field. What did he point out? We can't be sure, though maybe it was this guy in the camera well:

Hey now. A dude in a Padres shirt with binoculars and a walkie talkie who conspicuously walked away after Molina pointed in his general direction? Intrigue! What could he possibly being doing there? It's not like a fan can just walk into the camera well and watch the game.

It's worth noting Wallace put a pretty good swing on a Rosenthal fastball with the previous pitch, though he fouled it back and was unable to square it up. It's good to throw in the high-90s like Rosenthal.

Sign stealing happens in baseball all the time, and you know what? I'm okay with it as long as it remains on the field. If a runner on second can relay the signs to the hitter at the plate, more power to him. The battery should protect their signs better.

But when stealing signs goes off the field and involves, say, a guy with binoculars and a walkie talkie in the camera well, then it's going too far. The Blue Jays in particular have been accused of having a "Man in White" who relays signs from the stands over the years.

For what it's worth, the Padres say the man was part of their Petco Park security team:

I don't know if mysterious Padres guy was stealing signings Sunday. It sure seems pretty interesting the guy left his post after Molina pointed him out to the umpire, however.
