Suspend the cheater Bauer.

4 minor leaguers were suspended for 10 games.

[Taylor]

Maybe that's why the Angels' pitching sucks. They're the only ones not using foreign substances.

Or maybe they have, which is even worse if there's going to be a crackdown coming.

That would be ironic considering we once had an employee who was giving it out to our opponents.

Or maybe it's because of the so-called hitters' ballpark (Angel Stadium).

So, the Angels are using domestic substances, eh? 

[angelsnationtalk]

Every pitcher does this so why not leave it as it is?

Even Ohtani picks stuff out of his glove so who honestly cares. 

If batters can stick it up then pitchers should too. 

If you don't want players getting an "edge" then eliminate the usage of tablets during games and allowing players to make visits to the video room between at-bats. Start there.

What if they are using it. Now they have to stop, halos will be 31st in pitching.

[WicketMaiden]

Can we get the fielders to put it on their gloves?

So, not much difference?

Colorado man shoots himself in foot twice to see what it feels like 

The 30-year-old was inside his Colorado Springs home's garage when he took off his boot and fired a slug from his .22 caliber, semi-automatic handgun into his foot.

He then placed his boot back on — and pulled the trigger again to see if the feeling was any different.

@Inside Pitch this article sound familiar?

Hell no. He said he was going to do it publicly, dared the MLB to do something about it and they turned their heads to it. Fuck the MLB. 
 

I hope they go after some big names *ahem* Cole...

Guess it's more unlikely we'll be seeing more no-hitters this season.

Because the issue isn’t batters getting an edge.

Red Sox fans think Astros' Framber Valdez got away with illegal substance (fansided.com) 

No offense to the Red Sox fans but they shouldn't be talking given the Red Sox and their history of cheating (apple watches, for example). And they employed some of the game's biggest starts who were cheaters (PED users) like Ortiz, Manny, Canseco, and Clemens.

I wonder if they can find a middle ground and approve use of some substances, that will take a bit of negotiation.  Good luck with that.

[Stradling]

Or they can use the rosin bag.

This is interesting. 

 

That Bauer video i posted a few months back. He almost made it seem like he was doing it to make Cole look bad. Like... basically confessed to this.

Will be interesting to see if it truly is enforced, and how much some (if not most) guys regress
