It's too bad Donnelly didn't have steriods in his glove, he might have gotten off with a warning.

I guess when your ERA doubles, you try something different...too bad.

Angels reliever Brendan Donnelly was suspended 10 games by Major League Baseball on Friday for having pine tar on his glove during a game against the Washington Nationals.

Didn't I just hear in Wednesday's game that the last pitcher charged with pine tar violations only served a two day suspension ?

Astonishing. A major league pitcher attempting to cheat. Why can't they all be honest, clean, and upright like Gaylord Perry?

Robinson said he knew Donnelly was cheating by viewing videos which doesn't seem truthful, isn't truthfulness also part of the integrity of the game ?

Then Donnelly was ejected without throwing a pitch, the crime had not even occurred yet which doesn't seem respectable to make an accusation of cheating till it actually happens...

While the Nats outfielder the next night caught a ball off the ground and held it up in his glove, trying to cheat the call!

A harsh penalty for Donnelly since the guy who tried to catch a fly ball that hit the ground got no suspension for trying to cheat,, makes good publicity, more people out to the park and everyone wins...except Donnelly...
