    This is why I do not expect more than 100 game season next year. These two sides have zero respect for each other.

    Seven different organizations by age 28 (Padres twice, so maybe it should be eight). That's saying something. I liked his moxie when he arrived on the scene in Atlanta, but moxie only gets you so far.

    Going forward- umps will check starters 2x or as needed. RP will get checked once.

    Any substance other than rosin will result in ejection and confiscated equipment.

    Any IF meeting with pitcher to give substance will also be checked and ejected I believe.

    Per mlb they don’t want to see major names ejected but it will likely come to that. They are “giving
    Pitchers time to adjust”

    Basically - here comes the offense

    Why do Manfred and his cronies insist on botching every single single scandal/hot topic they come across?

    MLB: Let's put in a pitch clock, eliminate LOOGYs, and do tons of other things to speed up the game! Look how innovate we are!


    Also MLB: Let's pat down every single pitcher multiple times a game.

    Have to think Smiley and Smith both the acquisitions that had good to great years in SF are not using anymore.

    Nice link, bro.

    MLB should’ve just kept the juiced balls and allowed spider tack.

    It's been going on forever. I remember extremely devout Orel Hershiser insinuating that he doctored balls during his great stretch. When I was growing up, it was all about Gaylord Perry and Lew Burdette loading up the ball.

    Gaylord made no bones about it. You just could not tell which spot on his head, hair or hat was hiding it. He touched them all 20 times. And speaking of, did anyone notice Smyley pinching his hat bill before every pitch Sunday?
