MLB: Caught Cheating

"You have to look at what's going to happen this year, in this season, of course, what's going to happen next year, so if you go out and get a player like Greg Vaughan, he's been mentioned several times as a Milwaukee Slugger if the Reds can." If you don't have the luxury of giving it up after this year, then why would you give up some awards prospects to rent it for two months? On the other hand, it is also that the state in which the Reds are located, yes, they are in the pen arrays of the Central.

Division, but they clearly don't have a lot of players at the minor league level to afford to lose two, three or four of them. Here are the three to disable two broken bats and two swings. I'll have to get another piece. of wood, he, I'm going to go with that, I guess he thinks it's okay, it sure sounded like you broke it, but for a GM today it used to be that you made a deal right now here because you wanted to stay in a pen career. , you did not do it. Let's not consider the financial ramifications or the minor league ramifications.

Now those two things often come before the final decision. Yes, it was broken and now it is broken forever. Miller has it one that was cut if ever there was an instant on right here. For Chris Sabo, I swear, I think he broke down in the field before, they didn't want to go get another piece of wood. You have a pizza. Pat Long on the head looks exactly like a pizza peel. Now you're making me hungry. Oh, here. There is too much to do. They're going to take a look at this bat. Now they see something inside.

What if it's a quark stream running up and down to Chris Sabo? They're going to go and they're going to Let's get him out of the ball game, just like that, let's see there's our board with all that, how about that? Well, what's going on here in Montague? We'll send that piece of bat back to the umpires' room to be sent. to the league office, so Chris Sabo looked at Montague, you know what happened, even though Chris Sabo used a different bat on the field before he was there, he was

caught

up in it and with a foul ball he broke his bat, like this who looked towards the dugout. and the drummer brought out a substitute bat, the bat he brought out was a corked bat, whether Chris Sabo intended to use it in a ball game or not, we don't know if it could be that perhaps he is a victim of circumstances that he has a cork bath that they play with in batting practice and that has happened in the past and he gets

caught

using it in a ball game and sees it explode, that's a hitter's worst nightmare if you know you're

cheating

and then I know you got caught again, he broke his bat and I tell you what, Chris, could you imagine if the bat was deliberately corked and he knew it was corked and thought it was broken the moment before he even wouldn't even risk it.

I'd get rid of it rather than watch it splinter. Yeah, I can't see him intentionally coming out using a corked bat, especially after the drummer brought that one. Look at Montague who's out in the field now picking up bits of cork Tom Hallion devouring a bit of all those wine bottles a vintage word was Wally Bell will take the rest here's another look look at this ball just shit look at the little bits of cork that come out of that bat that is classic what cork it has. Montague took that piece of bat and took it to the umpires' room.

Sabo is picking up the team from him and has been kicked out of the ball game for the way he looked at one of the Bensons. I use your back problem wouldn't be so bad, but they have done it. his name is the real beautiful cell with a 1-1 pitch cut to third a flat I was on Christian Yelich appears talking to Dan Jennings about him before today's game said look this is the first adversity this kid has faced as a player skyrocketed in the minors after dominating as a high school player, early draft pick in a good season last year as a rookie, hitting just 178, leaving this Jennings out there St George Baker to come down and talk to the head of team Paul Emmel about something, oh boy, she says a substance in Brian Matusz, Will Smith's chance microcell was expelled a couple of days ago in Milwaukee, as we saw Michael Pineda, suspended last year in the New York walk .

Showalter comes to watch, it was interesting because I saw Dan. Jennings went to talk to Marlin hitting coach Frankie Ben Aikido. They had obviously seen something on the mound. I think the discussion was more or less, I should say something that's some kind of substance and obviously two quick outs. Dan Jennings took it upon himself to do it. calling attention to the Empire is going to be an uncomfortable conversation he has been ejected from the game Brian Matusz this week becomes the second major league pitcher to be ejected from a game for a foreign substance on his arm that was thrown in a scoreless game in the foul pop 12 Nancy returns runs with no room still three and two Dempsey tight tanks ball game someone said something to tickle them Davey Johnson asking to look at the ball or the glove maybe from Jay Howell and they want the crew chief Harry Wendelstedt will also come , Joe West has the plate up now, he wants to know what's going on, so here's Wendy, who stays as crew chief and he in West will examine Howells' glove and then get a first-hand look and the other.

The night we were talking about Alejandro's pain, you walked into an inn, there seemed to be a strange substance on the back of his glove, maybe they're a little confused or maybe he picked up paint on his glove from the bullpen. I doubt it. This happened, although when you look inside the glove you realize that Dempsey had his hand there and Joe West slapped it away and this comes with a three-ball, two-strike count, it's like a Norman Rockwell painting, yeah , of course. I know he's a referee. You have to see number one make a decision. Drop this, but they obviously have the evidence because there's only a very mild protest from Tommy Lasorda.

We also analyzed this part to finance the national president. Now Wendellstat is going to take the gauntlet to Jamaa t and that is in fargo behind javadi, who is the referee supervisor. Lee Mazzilli comes to see it firsthand. Well to be honest now Dormer is president nationally so Feeny there too, now one pitch he did anything he could do. you think when faced with a foreign substance, I'm beefy, you blow it up higher and usually as a referee, you see the ball go up there, you can tell if it's a spinner or not. It's not that funny, but I mean for the baby to judge, I think he would have to have advance knowledge before going out to check it, there is no way for the baby to come out and say that those pictures did something different, they just did five throws the another night he was doing a lot of curveballs what's the indication how did he know what I said none of the balls acted right no, they didn't go down generally if everything has a foreign substance it's going to submerge did he throw his glove introduction hello it's He's out just for the game, you know him well in the regular season, he would be suspended.

I mean, that's the next question that needs to be addressed here. They kicked him out of the game. Alejandro Media will come in to pitch, but now the question is: what? about the rest of the playoffs and you'll remember the incident with Kevin Gross and the Joe Niekro incident last year with Minnesota, of course what got the referee out in the Jody Crow incident was the ball did something funny and came out. and he examined it and found in the file or nail file a gross back pocket Kevin, are you familiar with that Timmy? I don't know if it defaced the ball I made there was a roll of sandpaper it was a ball actually to face the ball it was the ball it was scratched up yeah well no sign of any of those things today although not where Davey was Johnson.

Jill West is out there, she called Harry Wendelstedt and Joe is checking the rope and it looked like Harry came in to look for moisture and him. He found some but then returned to the club to look for more moisture, which could be one of the reasons Rick Dempsey was reaching in to remove the glove. Now my gauntlet, cheep-cheep-cheep, is opportunity and this is unprecedented. He meant that this has never happened, to my knowledge, in the postseason, so now the question is what happens with the rest of the season and we'll try to get clarification on that as soon as we can.

Ed Vargo again behind Jamaat Ibaka is the National. League referee supervisor, what's very interesting is that Nepai Nia appeared to have a foreign substance on his glove Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium. Now I don't know if he changed his gloves, but you realized that the other night and we were just. We were just told that the Mets learned Wednesday night that J. Howell had pine tar and his glove and that's why they checked it today. Obviously they didn't tell anyone and we just found out that the Mets knew Wednesday night that J. Howell had pine tar and his glove and that's a very interesting thing for Johnson, he let the inning begin.

Powell went to three and he wasn't going to say anything either, he went to three on one, so the score was still in Gretel's favor and Then when I got to three and two, that's when Davey came out.
