MattFancy Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share Posted April 11, 2014 Ok, here's what I don't get. I watched the ESPN clip on this and they spent more time talking about how he should hide it than they did the fact that it is prohibited in baseball. They said most players don't have a problem with it. So, if this is true, then why not change the rule? I was reading on Twitter last night and I can't remember who it was from, but basically they said the hitters don't have a problem with it as long as there aren't globs over it all over the baseball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterMP Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 The more stuff on the ball the more it can affect the flight path of the ball and even the ability of the bat to make firm contact with the ball. If you are hiding it, that normally means you aren't using much of it and it isn't really affecting the hitters much, and you probably aren't really trying to affect the pitches vs. just get a grip on the ball, which helps it not hit the hitters. If it is legal, then pitchers will be gobbing the stuff on, which affect the hitters more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bliz Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Couple neat stats from that Braves/Phils game last night: Cliff Lee struck out 13 but lost 1-0. The last pitcher to do that was Cliff Lee. Last season. Against the Braves. Evan Gattis went 4-4 with a HR in a game that his team won 1-0. The last player to do that was Rogers Hornsby (!) Also, both starting pitchers threw complete games. A pretty rare occurrence these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
