I would be pissed if I was a Phillies pitcher. Girardi just put targets on their backs for other managers to check

Is it possible for MLB to handle this entire thing any worse? You’ve got umps rubbing their hands through a man’s hair for frick’s sake.

It's like Manfred was sent by the NFL and NBA to finish baseball off. Make it completely irrelevant.

So with all the substance checking, did anybody get caught?

Mike Rizzo didn’t mince words in his weekly hit with @JunksRadio this morning. Called last night’s situation embarrassing for Joe Girardi, the Phillies and baseball, then proceeded to call Girardi a “con artist.”

The spin rate on baseballs is down dramatically. That's all anyone needs to know. It's working.
But managers shouldn't be able to use these random checks to throw off the pitcher's momentum. They need to have limits and times to check.

This is one of the dumbest rule changes ever in sports, and Girardi is a fricking loser and a tool.

promptly sat down the next three batters before staring down Joe
No he didn’t. There was already 1 out and he was all over the place after they checked him. Walked the next batter while throwing 3-4 balls a foot outta the zone. Got the 2nd out on a high outside fastball that was hit to right.
He threw 86 pitches through 4 innings. He was all over the place the whole night. Max was trying to get some sweat from his hair to grip the ball. Girardi noticed and had him checked. Max thought it was absurd (it was)
The stare down didn’t happen until the 5th after a 3u3d inning. Max stared. Then girardi acted like a little girl

Is it a rule change, or one that has been in place and they finally decided to actually enforce it?

Max Scherzer, predictably, had a lot to say. But he specifically pointed a finger at the commissioner:
"These are Manfred Rules. Go ask him what he wants to do about this. I've said enough."

I might have a new favorite player

Stopping a player 3 times in 4 innings is a bit much, check in between innings not in the middle of one and make it random

I'd be pissed if I was a Phillies hitter... someone is likely to get beaned today.

Its worse than that and Manfred doing a good job of ensuring that. Right before girardi had him checked, Max had almost put 95 in the batter’s ear hole. He admittedly was having trouble with the ball and was going to his head for sweat
So basically, max puts a Philly hitter on his arse accidentally while trying to find some grip. All girardi sees is “oh shite, he may be cheating” and calls for the check. This is gonna get worse when these pitchers get tired of eating Rosin every night

Man that Spider-tack must have really been out of control because pitchers basically are all but admitting it in some cases and the spin rates have been significantly down almost across the board.
Hell the Tampa guy basically said now that I can't use it - that's why I got hurt. So basically yeah I was cheating but.....
