Postgame reported the 1B umpire said Blanco's glove had "the stickiest substance he'd ever felt since they've been checking". 10-game suspension No roster spot replacement allowed Astros can survive the penalty. It's the added perception of cheating that bothers me.
Who cares about the perception. The Yankees can have a roided out lineup and nobody cares. It’s all about being the smaller market and beating markets like LA and NY. Nobody really cares. F em.
That's the point. Yankees and Red Sox get their ass kissed. Astros get their draft picks stripped. This one of the greatest dynasty's ever, but there's a caveat -- and it might keep Altuve from the HOF.
It bothers me in that it surely bothers Blanco who doesn't deserve to have to deal with this ****. This guy has been the one pure ray of light this whole miserable season and this piece of **** ump is gonna slander him for no reason? Grinds me gears.
Gonna be rough today with so many innings pitched by our pen the last 2 days. Hopefully Framber goes out and throws 7+. Really weird with Blanco. Was he ever putting his pitching hand in his glove? Rules are what they are though. Hopefully no suspension, though not optimistic.
Well, they took the glove. So they can do a chemical test to see if it was rosin like Blanco claimed. A little strange as often as they check this is the first time they found something. Also seems odd to have inside the glove. Seems like that would be more obvious you are dipping into something... doesn't seem like a good hiding place. I'm optimistic that his claims can be proven. Just seems so illogical for it to be a substance inside the glove.
If they screw Altuve out of the HOF it would be a travesty. Correa admitted to cheating and he said Altuve didn't
Yea, I thought it was odd they didn't find anything the first time but did the second time. I guess we will see but I see a suspension coming......he`s a good kid and I dont want to think he was cheating but we will see..........
It’s not gonna keep Altuve out. Baseball writes love him. Bonds and McGwire got kept out because they were the games biggest A holes
