This is fukking bullshit.
Everyone is doing it now.
Ok, I can understand letting them lick their fingers. It's sensible to be able to get a better grip on the ball within reason.
But this shit with greasing their arms up and wiping all over it after pitch is a joke.
I'm watching the Giants-Mets right now and Petit is hammering his arm after every pitch.
Let's get this under control because it's basically approved cheating right now.
If you wanna put lotion on to protect your skin, fine.
But a pitcher should NOT be allowed to touch his arm for substance/sweat/whatever while on the mound during an inning. Who's to say it's lotion?????? It could be anything.
I mean cmon, how ridiculous is it that this is being permitted right now??
