Here’s the big problem: The whole thing is speculation. And it’s all unfair.
I feel for the umpires, who are now expected to time batters and pitchers, and police pitchers, too. Cuzzi warned Scherzer twice so he wasn’t looking for a headline. The problem is there needs to be a strict rule, not just a standard.
Bellino said he understands the importance of their decision to eject Scherzer. Although he didn’t elaborate, the importance goes way beyond the two or three extra innings Scherzer might have gotten out of a game where his stuff wasn’t good . Bellino surely understands a man’s reputation is at stake.and he was later caught with PEDs. Journeyman Caleb Smith was the second “cheater,” and he received the same penalty although MLB believes his case was less obvious. Again, more judgment.
Fair or not, many will believe Scherzer tried to get away with something, and maybe he did. But we will never know for sure.Getty Images MLB’s recent memo states that the “use of rosin must be consistent with the requirements and expectations of the Official Baseball Rules,” which means that just the right amount of rosin must be applied. But who’s to say what that is?
