MLB PINETAR CHEATERS.

This whole thing is stupid. MLB players are using pine tar to grip the bat why not let pitchers do the same to help with ball grip.  Where they need to spend more time policing is on catching players using enhancement drugs that way to many have taken and when they get caught wipe the record books clean of their achievements.  Way to many got away with that BS and we are screwing with pitchers.

This is about money. It’s always been used to some degree but now it’s affecting batters not be able to hit home runs. MLB wants homeruns that’s what sells tickets. Strike outs doesn’t sell tickets to the average fan. Throwing 100 mph and hitting that pitch 450’ is what average fan wants to see. Games with a score of 1-0 or 2-1 doesn’t sell tickets anymore.

Everything today is about money, before you know it there will be no home plate umpires just electronic calling of balls and strikes. Technology is already changing the game from the way we knew it as kids.  Drugs, Greed and MONEY  will continue the degradation of good old fashoned baseball with with human error. Its a shame but it is what it is.

This video is maybe the most interesting thing that ever happened in baseball. 
I could never get into this sport. There is just very little to watch, not much is going on.

They spend most of their time adjusting their hat, spitting or grabbing their crotch.

George Brett was the "best" pine tar incident. The guy batted .390 that year with or without pine tar.

Yep baseball's pretty boring today. Look forward to the games  Tommy lasorda and Billy Martin.I like the good old days.Now you have to be pretty nice to the umpire. A catcher cannot block home plate, as a Yankees fan I don't know even if I can say Boston s***s anymore without replications, but I will old habits die hard.lol

They need to get rid of the home plate umpire now that they have the tech. to accurately call balls and strikes.  Never seen such B.S. strike calling in my life.

I do not agree !! Mistakes are part of the game, you got to have someone to yell at!!

Last time I checked the MLB is a business. Why wouldn’t they adjust the rules to make more money. If no one watches the game then they can’t afford to put on the show. This isn’t your kid’s rec team

Hitters on PEDs, pitchers doctoring the ball, cheaters!  I saw Gerrit Cole on TV the other night compaining that he can't doctor the ball, WTF?  Almost a 60 year NY Giants and Yankee fan, when they started kneeling, I quit watching!
