That was really sad and the MLB should be ashamed for not calling him on it. It wasn't dirt. It was pine tar. There is NO WAY on earth he didn't realize this was on his THROWING hand. No way on earth.
If you go back and view the 1st iniing, you can see him dig the ball into that part of his hand every time. Then after he "washed the dirt off", he not once did he dig the ball into that part of his hand.
And you know this because??? The umpires looked at his hand. The umpires know the difference between pine tar and dirt. They said it was dirt.
Ummmm, if Rogers was cheating and that was giving him an advantage, how was he then able to pitch 7 more scoreless innings after cleaning his hand?
