- Umpire Bill Miller's crew inspected Dodgers pitcher Tyler Glasnow's throwing hand in the 2nd inning vs Cincinnati, but allowed Los Angeles' starter to remain in the game even though his hand was sticky and discolored. Why did they allow it while Laz Diaz ejected Ronel Blanco days earlier? Article: www.closecallsports.com/2024/...

With rosin specifically classified as a legal substance (they have rosin bags on the pitcher's mound after all), that gives pitchers exiting the field at the end of an inning the excuse of having used the rosin bag. Rosin and sweat combine and stickiness is the result. This plausible deniability of legal rosin vs illegal foreign substance-whether valid or not-means that umpires remain reticent to eject on inspections conducted when a pitcher is exiting the field after having pitched. This is the case of Glasnow in LA.
However, when a pitcher enters the field to begin the inning, as Blanco did in Houston, an umpire conducting an entry inspection will not expect to find rosin or any such "legal" substance, because the official MLB rosin bag is on the pitcher's mound on the field, not in the dugout nor bullpen, so a pitcher should be fairly clean, especially if they are coming from the dugout and not the bullpen. Blanco was not and that's why he was ejected.
In conclusion, failed exit inspections are more likely to result in warnings and "watch your hands" instructions due to the potential for legal on-field rosin, while failed entry inspections are more likely to result in ejections due to no plausible deniability caused by an on-field rosin bag and greater likelihood that whatever substance the pitcher has on their hands to make it sticky when coming onto the field is an illegal one. - Sport
okay, i've said this before and i will continue to say it: this is absolutely THE BEST channel to follow as a baseball fan.
i've heard no analyst say a single thing about the inspection being entry versus exit and that's an insanely important piece of information. thank you.
First time I noticed you using the Torgo theme song at the end of your video
Also, Glasnow didn't have it last night, so it was weird they inspected him.
Was that an MST3K song clip at the end? The hands of fate!! 😂
Torgo approved
There was a Coily reference a few weeks ago!
Ahh, a little “Manos: The Hands of Fate” reference there. Love it.
Manos: The Hands Of Fate?! Love the veiled MST3k references…
Thanks, I commented on the last video about entry and exits, and washing hands. Great job in clearing that up❤
The Torgo theme? I didn't know your tastes were that refined
All im seeing is a group palm reading
LOL
Thank you for the video
Wait, is that the Torgo theme from Manos?
Another Close Call video, another comment section full of people arguing about things that are already well covered by the video
Heh, the Haunting Torgo Theme!!!!
Manos the Hands of Fate!!
Cole Winn just had to get a new glove after being checked by Junior Valentine while ENTERING the game but wasn't ejected either. T5 LAA@TEX 5/17
Pitcher enters game with sticky stuff hidden somewhere on their body.
Pitcher pitches inning.
Pitcher is told to wash hands before returning to pitch the next inning.
Pitcher washes their hands.
Pitcher is cleared to retake the mound; reapplies sticky stuff hidden on their body.
Is this just "umpire theater"?
Yes, absolutely, 100%. Verified by her comments that EVERY SINGLE ONE insists that the pitcher they ejected had the stickiest sticky stuff ever known to man during their inspection.
in 4 man crew mechanic when did they start routinely putting U2 on shortstop far side of 2B with runner (possible stealing) on first base only?
One thing to point out on the reds broadcast the person you hear talking on a lot of it is Chris Welsh. Who is a former MLB pitcher. He would probably know quite a bit about this.
I thought it was also allowed for pitchers to use rosin before going to the mound as well?
No rosing on entry? Do pitchers wash their hands before every inning?
This is what makes no sense. You can't use rosin in between innings. So if they have a quick inning and you don't wash your hands, that rosin is supposed to magically disappear? Or you're supposed to wash your hands between every inning and start all over when you get to the mound? WTF are we doing with this nonsense??
I bought some of the official Pelican rosin for my 13u son. I've made my hand look way worse than Glasnow's with nothing more than that rosin and sweat.
Im thinking the next step in the fight against sticky substances is a sink and towel dispenser near each on deck circle so the pitchers have to wash their hands before entering. And there'll be a towel boy in addition to the bat boy.
Why not a retractable sink right behind the mound? The umpires have to watch the ritualistic cleansing of the hands before each pitcher takes the mound.
why not just have the umpires wash the pitchers hands, that way there would be no excuses on either side.
@@poluticon I think they might like it too much!!
Give the umpires hand sanitizer and towels. Make the umpires personally wash and dry each pitcher before each inning... or... fix the rule so it isn't this confusing.
Ok, they didn't eject him, but did they recommend he see a doctor for that bubonic plague he's got?
I thought it was suppoosd to be U1 or U3 (wing umpires) who meet pitcher for "inspection", not plate guy, unless asked?
Does the rule actually say you can't use rosin in the dugout?
Yeah, from, what I heard from scherzer’s explanation, I think you are allowed to rosin in the dugout /clubhouse as well. 🤷♂️
LOL. Brilliant!
Not arguing the rules, just arguing that they are idiotic. It's absurd that we have become this obsessive about sticky stuff and that they are levelling such harsh penalties against pitchers for it. I can't believe that this is the hill that Rob Manfred wants to die on. Blanco got tossed because he had no sticky stuff on his THROWIG hand, only INSIDE his glove, but he got suspended because it was an entry inspection; meanwhile Glasnow gets tossed with sticky stuff all over his throwing hand but isn't suspended because of when the inspection took place. These rules are the most moronic, heavy-handed overreaction I've ever seen from this league.
Personally I think every pitcher should get at least a warning and a hand wash. If they get caught again its 10 games suspended.
Honey is on the banned substance list… should by daughter go for a career in chemistry because she can tell when she gets honey all over her hands?
They should take hand swabs during the game and send them to a lab

Bat flip, towards the OPPONENTS dugout
I dont think the batter wouldve been ejected if it was college because he tossed that bat to his own dugout not opponent nor near an umpire
Looks like dried discolered super glue, which would be used for blister management. Rich Hill had similar issues years back when he had blister problems, although his were bursting; while it wasn't a time of inspections, it looked very similar on camera (and for us who have used super glue on our hands, it easily gets discolored like that). [of course, all speculation]
Cali got that Sticky Icky
If it's significant they should be allowed to peel a bit of it off and send it in for testing, right? Also, why don't they just test before and after every half inning? It takes what? 15 seconds when there's no issue? And the check coming off the field doesn't impact game length, so we're talking less than a 4 minute increase in game time considering they already do some checks.
You really want the umpires taking biopsies now?? 😂
@@SithScribe21 just give them a little plastic scrapy card (credit card sort of thing) and have them scrape a little into a bag.
CZcams channels who specialize in trying to shame and belittle professional athletes are some of the worst on this platform. Nice try though. He wasn't ejected because it wasn't sticky stuff...duh! 🤦♂
Kinda looks like some of the discoloration was put there by the different umps all groping his hand.
0:38 yes. Yes you are. 🍀
It’s the Dodgers, they got a degenerate gambling phantom spookin’ in the locker room and clubhouse rotting away the rafters. Now Glasnow not ejected for sticky fingers? Bad job mlb. Love the vid Close Call!

Umpires aren't chemists, employ some then, get some samples down to forensics.
Almost looks like bruising. But it's hard to tell
It’s called the dodger treatment. Ohtani can testify that rules don’t necessarily apply to dodgers
Because it was the Dodgers and not the Astros, 100% the only reason Glassnow stayed in the game.
That's your opinion. My opinion, is your 100% wrong.
Didn’t pay attention to the video did we?
@@andrewreid895 Sure I did, I've also used rosen before, it doesn't turn grey like that. But one of those grip sticks from a bat does
@@paulhopkins1905 it's the same rosin. It looks different colors because it's different on skin than wood. Or are you just a troll?
@@gregengel1616 nope
Because MLB is obsessed with the Dodgers and they can do nothing wrong.
Baseball is becoming an over umpired disaster. They clearly thought something was off about his hand, all the umps came together and we could see on video exactly why. How are you going to have the "no sticky substance" rule and when you clearly believe something strange is going on, you don't do anything. The game is way over complicated for this umpire union. Fire the union or make the rules easy enough for a 1st grader.
Welp, a 1st grader would understand better than you. This was handled perfectly
Teams, players, etc are always trying to gain advantages, legal...and illegal
It's the way the players and teams are causing the actions, and the umpires, the reaction. Simple
There isn't a "no sticky substance rule" -- there is literally sticky substance provided to the pitchers by MLB
