This is why people hate the Houston Astros

[lucas80]

Ronel Blanco was ejected last night for having a sticky substance on the inside of his glove. The glove had been checked earlier in the game, but prior to Blanco taking the mound in the 4th umpire Laz Diaz checked it again and found the substance. All three other umpires were called in to confirm the foreign substance, and then Blanco was ejected.
Cheating is a pattern with them.

Serial cheaters for sure.

Laz Diaz finally got one right, but it took the whole crew.

I have to say, it would be pretty funny if the umpiring crew were actually unfamiliar and mystified by the stickiness of resin.

I was going to say that they need to start cheating the old fashioned way with steroids but it seems they might have incorporated that too

What's the problem?

Let's pretend that this was an innocent occurrence, it is still on Blanco to understand appearances and be responsible. He can't feel something sticky on his non pitching hand and discount it.
I don't believe his story.

Astros = MLB's Patriots

I misinterpreted the rules.

I misinterpreted the rules.

But we deleted the Pats’ tapes of the Rams Super Bowl walk through because they showed nothing.

Well said

 

[ThorneStockton]

This is just one of the reasons why.

Ump said it was the stickiest substance he had ever felt on a glove. It was no accident.

Cheating continues because the penalties when caught aren't harsh enough.

Astros still won the game. Should have been an automatic DQ especially when the 10 games he got is really only 2 for a starting pitcher.

Pine tar from your bat?

I don’t hate the Astros. I hate the Yankees.

Well, hopefully you had a glove on like Blanco.
