Max Scherzer vs GoT extra Noah Syndergaard, 3:10 start which I like, after missing the entirety of the last two games.

Should be an interesting match-up

Baty and Alvarez. Let's show them some Syracuse power. Later

Scherzer is uncharacteristically strike-zone shy.

Edgy MD Apr 19 2023 01:31 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 19 Mets @ Dodgers Get Away Day

Thanks for getting Heyward. Two big outs with him and Vargas. And really, thanks to the Dodgers for batting him fifth.

Touching an Ump would add to the penalty (suspension and fine) but he looked angry enough to do it.

When they eject a pitcher, they should take a sample of the sticky substance. if it turns out to be rosin that got mixed in with the sunscreen on the guy's arm, its an ejection. no suspension. When it turns out to be "spider tack", 60 games.

metsmarathon Apr 20 2023 07:24 AM Re: IGT Wed Apr 19 Mets @ Dodgers Get Away Day

They need to put out clear guidelines on how much is too much, how to clean hands off, what can and what cannot be used. If the issue - as was discussed this morning on the mlb radio morning show - was that max cleaned his hands with alcohol, and that ‘activated' the rosin making it stickier, but the alcohol was available and furnished for hand-cleaning and rosin removal, then there's a big fucking problem isn't there? He cleaned his hands in front of the dugout mlb official. If he was doing it wrong, there's a big problem there. The rule cannot be “don't use too much, and we'll know what too much looks like when we see it”

Edgy MD Apr 20 2023 08:31 AM Re: IGT Wed Apr 19 Mets @ Dodgers Get Away Day

You put a new glove on, and the leather dye compounds start breaking down as soon as the sweat and alcohol and other shit starts interacting with it. A really weird situation that pops up when we start instituting rules hand over fist without really thinking what it means when we try to enforce them.

batmagadanleadoff Apr 20 2023 03:46 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 19 Mets @ Dodgers Get Away Day

Here's a new detail from yesterday's Scherzer incident: Scherzer went into the tunnel to wash off the "stickiness" with alcohol after instructed to do so by the umpire. He then reapplied new rosin and went out to the mound. But the only MLB approved rosin that pitcher's may use is from the rosin bag on the mound, which is inspected for quality control before the game. Any other rosin is considered a foreign and prohibited substance.

Frayed Knot Apr 20 2023 05:10 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 19 Mets @ Dodgers Get Away Day

During the game, Gelbs said that this is something Scherzer/the Mets can appeal. What wasn't clear from his answer was whether it's an all or nothing thing. iow, since the penalty of ten games is pre-set by MLB it makes it sound like the only choices on appeal are guilty or innocent/ten games or zero. Or is there room for a less guilty condition -- misdemeanor stickiness rather than the felony version -- where a lesser suspension can be imposed? As it is, ten games for a starter is effectively only one start anyway so it's probably the all or nothing answer.

bmfc1 Apr 20 2023 05:12 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 19 Mets @ Dodgers Get Away Day

Ten-game suspension. Suspension appealed. Please ask Manfred: what was the difference between this situation and the one with Domingo German? What was the purpose of the MLB official other than to watch Max wash his hands? Why has only one umpire been involved in 100% of the suspensions for this behavior?

Frayed Knot Apr 20 2023 05:17 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 19 Mets @ Dodgers Get Away Day

Gary speculated that following the German thing getting handled so ... oddly (mgr Baldelli certainly wasn't happy with the non-ejection) that MLB probably sent memos out to the effect to get tougher once a warning was given and Scherzer happened to be the first one to get caught up in that net.

bmfc1 Apr 20 2023 05:23 PM Re: IGT Wed Apr 19 Mets @ Dodgers Get Away Day

As Max was a negotiator for the MLBPA (and reportedly yelled at MLB negotiators per John Harper) I'm sure that Manfred and his henchmen enjoyed giving Max this punishment.
