Why MLB players can't bunt just amazes me.
Launch angles and pay tied to OPS

How freaking good has the Caratini signing been?!?
Absolutely brilliant signing. Switch hitting and gives you a competent bat for a BACKUP catcher.
Joe Espada said, from his vantage point, he saw rosin mixed with sweat on Ronel Blanco’s glove. It is illegal to use rosin on your non-pitching hand, Espada said, hence why Blanco was ejected.

Ok, but why is that illegal?
Espada pulled all the right levers after a very tough situation with Blanco leaving early. Chose to ride Taylor & Hader. They're burned out their top guys before us. That's my skip.
The sad thing is someone has to go down to get a fresh arm up and it's probably gonna be dubin or Martinez. They'll have to be down for 15 days before they can come back up
I don't think I've said this once this year, but props to Espada on his pivot after the Blanco ejection and for the Victor pinch hit to end the game.
The pieces are starting to come together aren't they!!!

4 games from .500. 6 back in the division. We get Oakland for 2 more with Framber & Javier. They don't have their all world closer available either.
8 games from .500 but I get what you meant.

Nope. Should have got himself ejected instead to fire up the boys.

The rosin thing is such BS. Why would rosin on a non throwing hand be illegal?

What kind of stupid rule is that?
Why would it be illegal to use on your non pitching hand?
listening to the post-game show...
So you can't use rosin on your hand but you can put it all over your non throwing wrist?
If you had told me back in March that Victor Caratini's RBI single would score Trey Cabbage in the bottom of the 10th, I would have said, that's great, but what did the Astros do tonight?
Life is better with a beagle
did anyone on the coaching staff tell Blanco that he couldn't do that? (rosin on the non-pitching hand)
umps say glove wasn't sticky after the 1st inning
Ejecting Blanco was absurd. They better knock the suspension down considerably.
So you can pick up the rosin bag with your throwing hand but can't have rosin on your non throwing hand?? Is this seriously a rule?
So Yankees pitcher German had the exact same thing happen to him (rosin on the non pitching hand) and umpires allowed him to go wash his hands.
Yet I'm sure Ronel will get the suspension which is absolute bull*****
Yet I'm sure Ronel will get the suspension which is absolute bull*****
gonna need Framber to go deep tomorrow
MLB not realizing that starting pitchers sweat is amazing
MLB issues roisin bags, I have one with their logo on it
MLB issues roisin bags, I have one with their logo on it
The bigges BS is they've let other pitchers go wash their hands or let them change gloves why didn't they let Ronnie do that? It's total bs that every umpiring crew does things different. Unfortunately Manfred won't do anything about it.
So if you take your glove off and grab the rosin bag with your non throwing hand you are now subject to ejection?
What the holy **** kind of idiotic bull**** is this?
What the holy **** kind of idiotic bull**** is this?
the Astros cannot replace Blanco on the roster for 10 games
have to play a man short
that's a stiff penalty
have to play a man short
that's a stiff penalty
How does the MLBPA not bend over the MLB and umpires based on inconsistent application of the rules?
What advantage does having rosin on your non throwing hand give you?
They're making it up as they go. Rule book clearly states "A pitcher may use the rosin bag for the purpose of applying rosin to his bare hand or hands."

Keep winning and the team could make up ground on the Rangers quickly. After they 3 with Anaheim, they are on the road in Philly and Minnesota.

Ronel Blanco said "it was probably rosin I put on my left arm. Maybe because of the sweat, it got into the glove and that’s maybe what they found.” Blanco said he "doesn't always" put rosin on his left arm, but will when he sweats. Blanco said he did not know that is illegal
