Beltran retired 20 months ago. Am I missing something?

Got it. Thanks. Now he just needs to give Pax advice on how to make it more than a month or two without going on the IL.

I love the cat and mouse game element to it. As soon as he masks this, something else will probably take its place if you watch him closely enough.

It's difficult enough merely to execute a pitch. There's so much going on already, before even considering whether you're tipping or not - and by the time you figure it out, the damage is done. With the media and 2 dugouts full of experts watching your every move. You probably need to address this issue earlier, or include a regimen of quirks and red herrings to keep other teams off balance. .

On MLBtv it was so blatant...I doubt Beltran even had to say anything, or if he did, he was like "Hey Jimmy - you're on TV!"
