    MLB needs to step in with pitchers greasing their arms with Sun-tan lotion. Joke.

    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??

    Curt Schilling had an excellent segment on these kind of things earlier in the year...

    Of course it bothers me.
    You ever pitch? Any idea how much more of an edge you have using substances?
    It's like you're throwing a whiffle ball for movement.

    Appropriate bump from last year.

    They seem to be starting to care now.
    Hopefully MLB does something about it now since it's getting out of control.

    BUMP

    MLB will be taking care of this problem very soon or every homo manager who is losing a game is going to just get every pitcher tossed now since 90% of them do it.

    The real question is how they let this go on for this long when you know it was inevitable they were going to have to address it and make some kind of rules going to your arms.

    Freddy Gonzalez and Jennings are on the homo list already this week.
    Which manager will be next to pull this move?
    Even money on it being Collins or Clit Hurdle

    The game has been pitcher-dominant the last few years now
    Just like they cracked down on roids, they need to crack down on this.
    There is no way to tell who's using what on their arms.
    They need to come up with something agreeable you can put behind the mound just like the rosin bag, that helps with grip but doesn't doctor anything else throwing a pitch.
