    A nonstory, but I'm sure Manfred is licking his chops like the creep he is.

    He had sweat covering his arms, face, and neck before that. I hope they do find out it was just sweat and rosin. If so, what a bunch of BS.

    Espada sure didn't help Blanco in press conference, should have explained that better.

    So he can't sweat? I guess I just don't get it. How would it be used when the glove doesn't allow it to transfer. If it was on the outside,yes. But it's not like he was taking his glove off in between the stupid pitch clock. They should have asked him to get a new one.

    I'm honestly getting tired of Espada talking. Can someone else speak and have him sit in the back?

    Rome also said Blanco will appeal if he's suspended. I think that was obvious though.

    On one hand, it would explain a lot, and on the other, it's unfortunate. They have the evidence. So it will be what it will be.

    Got dam don't just throw him under the bus, mix in some reasonable doubt and circumstances. Espada is coming off as soft and a push over.

    Yeah, that ump who was going on about it being the stickiest stuff they've seen in years is a ****ing liar.

    If he gets suspended and appeals, how would he win? Won't they just say, glove is sticky therefore he's guilty? The fact that the ump didn't even bother checking his hands is stupid. Manfred can't even ask the ump about the hands. I'm hoping the ejection was not because he was using the sticky stuff but because he had it on his glove hand. Then Manfred either gives a warning or at most a fine.
