Searage turned ‘Petey Paranoia’ to prep for Astros sign-stealing

Hopefully Oscar Marin took Ray Searage's notebook on sign-stealing before replacing him as Pirates pitching coach.

In a recent interview with MLB Network on SiriusXM, Searage discussed the drastic measures he took when the Pirates had to face the Astros — even if his guys thought he was a little cuckoo in the process.

"To tell you the truth, what we did to combat when we would go into Houston — because we had heard all the rumors and everything, and guys thought I was Petey Paranoia and stuff," Searage began.
