Max made a big spectacle of it and then promptly sat down the next three batters before staring down Joe on his way to the dugout. Joe came out and ran his mouth

This is going to be such a clown show. Manfred is an idiot.

It was the third time in four innings as well that Girardi called for a check, and I LOVE Scherzer's reactions to it.

Girardi got tossed after he came out

Girardi is a bitch.

That was the third time they checked mad Max.

Girardi got ejected. What a tool.

Max seems like a cool, funny guy. Good for him.

Girardi is a fricking pussy though.

I wonder if Greinke quietly told the ump that checked him tonight, “I’m gonna kill you and your entire family” instead of making a scene.

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

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

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

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

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.....
