basically Clemens shook off Piazza's pitch selection twice and even stepped off the mound...then it Manny Ramirez hit the next pitch 50000 feet

no way did he tip anything. if he did it would be all over the place. 9 batters came to the plate. None of them would tell Roger he was doing it?

The fact he shook off Piazza is natural, he isnt his every day catcher.

LOL, that'd be hilarious is Piazza actually did that.

I wouldn't put it past him

I think the umpire would have heard it if Piazza had said something to Manny.

well the point isnt to tell everyone...

the point being that he would be annoyed that clemens kept shaking him off so he tells the guy what pitch is coming in order to get back at clemens for shaking him off

agreed, but I think the media just wants this to continue. I hate reckless reporting.
