Heard about this on WEEI. Don’t look good.
Yep. He spit on the ball.
But, the game being over, nothing can be done.
And watch MLB whine about copyright infringement. This one has already gone viral so let’s see how it plays out.
I dislike cheaters in America’s Great Game. If MLB doesn’t give him a suspension based on the video or if he ever gets caught, make them put a pitcher out without any warmup or forefit. If you can’t win within the rules why play?
You don't hock a giant loogie directly on the ball when throwing a spitter... You wet your fingers and "load up" a specific area. Vaseline works much better anyway.
That's why pitchers can only go to their mouths in certain conditions.
Grasping at straws Angels (and apparently Red Sox) fans???
Go Phillies!!!!
Poor technique. The proper way is to have the catcher deposit a loogie in his glove and then return the ball to the pitcher with a foreign load.
Gaylord Perry wrote an article in Sports Illustrated back in 1970’s on how to throw a spitter without getting caught.
Some batters have been known to alter their equipment too, to gain a competitive advantage.
I’m no Yankees fan, but it looked like he may have just been spitting. It didn’t appear to hit the ball.
Go Yankees!
Inconclusive at best. You cant tell if the spit hits the ball or not from the video. Its hard to believe that if he’s been doing this he wasnt caught many years ago.
Frickin cheater.
But the problem is that Mo throws nothing but 95 mph cut fastballs--nothing he delivers looks like one of Gaylord Perry's famous "sinkers"
Having said that I want the Angels to beat his and the Yank's brains out...
