I’m not rooting for the Mets or Scherzer but I thought rosin was legal?

from what I understand, this is some kind of technicality because the rosin was on the glove

Really feel bad for Oakland. They've lost all their sports in just a few years.

Fuck that shit. California already has 21, Twenty One ,TWENTY-FUCKING-ONE, professional franchises.

Nobody in Oakland gives two shits about the A's. Not their owner or their fans. They are 30th out of 30 teams in the MLB and most regional minor league teams draw more avg attendance than them. Fuck Oakland.

Yeah because the franchise has done everything to make the team as unwatchable as possible. I've been going to A's games since I moved here and the vibe from 2011-2014 was electric. But the owners stopped fixing anything broken with the stadium, raised ticket prices while slashing payroll to ribbons, traded away home town favorites. They did this intentionally because they wanted to move. They never had any intention of staying in Oakland.

The fans definitely care, but the owner just made them apathetic after years of dicking them around and actively tanking the team. None of this is on the fans.

Nah Phil Cuzzi is an actual retard and Bellino is the sniveling faggot who ejected Bumgarner for not wanting to have some faggot looking him in the eyes while rubbing his hands. Scherzer washes his hands in front of an Ump, applies rosin in front of an Ump, and knows he's getting inspected as soon as he comes out of the dugout, so you know there's nothing on his hands but sweat, rosin, and maybe alcohol from the hand-washing that Cuzzi ordered him to do.

Only three pitchers have been ejected for sticky stuff since the crackdown began in June 2021 – all of them have been ejected by Cuzzi.

Fact is Scherzer was almost certainly within the rules. The Umpires made an arbitrary and entirely subjective judgement that the stickiness of his hands could not possibly be attained by mixing sweat and rosin and ejected him for that reason.

This was my peak Oakland A's experience. This era was awesome.

And now they barely break 11k fans across 3 games. It really is sad.

Astros hand Rays 1st loss at home. Hopefully we hand them one more tomorrow before heading home.

I'm done with Baseball till the White Sox can play better than a Tee-Ball team.

Looks like it is time to clean house, top to bottom of the organization and hit the reset button all over again.
