 More Rockies NewsRockies LinksRockies manager Jim Tracy was displeased over the Phillies' use of binoculars from their bullpen during Monday night's game. Foxsports.com and the pregame show on the Rockies' television network on Tuesday, before that night's game was postponed, reported that Major League Baseball had reprimanded the Phillies because bullpen coach Mick Billmeyer was caught using the binoculars early in Monday night's game, a 9-5 Philadelphia win at Coors Field. The Rockies complained, but the Phillies denied they were stealing signs between Rockies catcher Miguel Olivo and pitcher Greg Smith. And it's not the first time there have been cheating accusations between the clubs. "I'm not going to have a tremendous reaction to it other than to tell you, as far as I'm concerned, it's out of line," Tracy said Wednesday before the start of a day-night doubleheader with the Phillies. "It's one thing, in my opinion, to go out and play a club as tough as you can possibly play it within the framework of the way they've structured things to be done. "And cheating, until you get caught, nobody says that you don't explore something like that. But if you're cheating and you get caught, you know what? Then you'd better do something about it. That's my reaction to that." |
