My Bad 
I was like “Crap, all our starters are hurt again and we’ve brought up guys from Nowhereville.”

So the ump said it was sticky but the announcer said it was white
I like AJ’s take/Verlander’s 2017 take, why did MLB make the ball more slippery? More homeruns, at least that was Verlander’s hypothesis

That’s an interesting thought. A cynic might propose that these harsh suspensions for rosin on the inside of a glove are targeted at pitchers who are having success keeping the ball in the park, rather than any kind of “integrity of the game” stuff.

Javier throwing strikes tonight would be nice.

I get tired of them always messing with the ball….trying to reinvent the wheel.

Loperfido has that front foot action at the plate similar to Tucker.

That’s golfing power the forearms
I don’t know why “tomato can” and “gas can” make me laugh so fast but they do. I guess they make me recall American Legion days.
Our coach was like John Wooden. Very strict and never cursed. One time he went out to argue with the plate ump and the opposing catcher said something. He pointed at the catcher and said something and started for our dugout. That lit of the opposing coach. They both met on the mound screaming at one another. The only thing that sticks in my mind was him saying, “I’ve been doing this thirty years! And that’s too long to take sass from a sawed off, nineteen year-old tuna can!”
In private we started referring to him as, “Big Tuna”

That was the dodgers explanation. I wouldn’t give too much credibility to the gLAsshouse gang.
