Baseball Players Are Freaking Out When The Umpires Check Them For Sticky Stuff! (VIDEO)
If you’re not up-to-date on this mini-baseball scandal…don’t worry…the Dave Man has got you covered!
So, hitters complained that pitchers were using a sticky, tack-like substance to grip the ball…which helped the pitchers dominate and saw offense go down as a result…MLB decided to intervene.
They have banned the “sticky stuff” and will randomly check pitchers even during the game whenever they want.
And, as a result, pitchers are freaking out. Uh-oh!

Oh no. We are roughly one Max Scherzer sticky check away from seeing an umpire get choked out. https://t.co/f6to1AxDLv
