[QUOTE="FredJacket, post: 806329, member: 2843"] Do you think he's lying about changing his grip after quitting "cold turkey" on whatever sticky stuff he was using? I believe him. ...& it makes sense to me. It is plausible he injured himself as a result. The timing can't be denied. To this point, I'm annoyed with both the players & MLB. Players: If you think gripping baseballs is a safety issue... bring it up, offer solutions, change rules... don't just cheat until caught (or called on it). MLB: MLB mishandled this (so far). A rule that never was enforced ...& over time nearly every pitcher seems to be using something illegal for better grip... is really not a rule. Would we "accept" a speeding ticket going 58 in a 55mph zone. We KNOW the rules!!! [Actually... we know how the rules are enforced] MLB has every right to do what they've done, I guess... but at this point, they need to be much more careful about it. The players have other concerns about gripping baseballs. MLB should slow down a figure out a way forward that is fair & protects the players while keeping things competitive. [/QUOTE]
