I don't think it'll be easy for them to make a ball that works. The biggest issue is that some pitchers need more sticky stuff than others depending on how much their hands sweat, the grooves of their hands, finger length, and myriad of other factors. A ball that's too sticky for one might be not sticky enough for another at some "universal" stickiness.

Umpire needs to signal immediately when an inning ends and they're going to check. Wiping your throwing hand on anything during or after this call needs to result in a suspension. Walk a new ball over to the pitcher, have them close their hand over it, umpire then compresses their grip on it for a bit, then ask the pitcher to slowly open their hand. If the ball doesn't drop right away, ejection and suspension.

I think the key to this is going to be better understanding of fluid dynamics around the baseball. To this end, I'm thinking a pre-tacked ball could work IF the ball was not tacked all that much (enough to ensure a solid grip) AND if the ball was able to cause a lesser effect through spin, such as by slightly lowering the seams. Of course, you also need to let pitchers actually get used to the stuff- first of all so the stats are accurate (think of it this way: If the brakes in your car were suddenly a little less sensitive, how smoothly would you be braking the first time you drove it?) and second of all so we don't get injuries left and right immediately after introduction.

I mean, I licked my fingers on my throwing hand and wipe them off before every pitch while playing 2B all through high school. Still do it while playing 16" softball. It always felt like the leather on the ball reacted much grippier than without doing that. Especially if I got infield dirt and/or dust on my hands. I think if they standardize something, that would be the way to go. But who knows.

I mean fans can’t now be mad that the guy with the power to call things arbitrarily balls and strikes based invisible lines can now deem something at his discretion “too sticky”. Cone’s experiment was dumb bc if you don’t FULLY wash them, it can make it worse. You rid of everything but the stickiest stuff which is last to go. Basically the % of sticky sig increases. I work with rosin regularly - in a jam use acetone if you must. Soap & water softens tissue far too much in sure they don’t allow it bc pitchers and blistering. Literally there’s no good answer here. 7:35 ppl are still outraged over this lol it’s as black and white as it gets. Anything excessive on the glove isn’t allowed. How much more clear can the guideline be? It literally says rosin - even if it’s rosin. It doesn’t matter if it’s excessive Jesus lol he never denied it was on his glove and they even went against tossing him initially. Literally just told him it’s too sticky.

It's been the same ump squad that threw every player out for "foreign substances" this year. I'm convinced both Max and German were simply using rosin.

A) Pride. They aren’t American made and baseball is supposed to Americas Pastime, buying from foreign countries would cause a lot of the MLB audience to flip. B) Money. The whole reason they’re keeping this in house is that it’s cheaper that way.

@@Wolverine8721 The balls are already bought form another country... they are made in Costa Rica. Uh, no it's not actually cheaper to spend what is likely millions of dollars already to try & find a solution to something that has already been fixed elsewhere.

Because people are making big money selling them and don't want to lose easy money. I mean shit look at the mud family lol they haven't had to work in generations

For karinchak i guarantee it was sometime of conditioner in his hair mixed with the rosin

I love your videos, they give me anxiety with the music. Please make a second channel with all 94 vids and I will personally watch them all again.

Anyone who got sticky stuff on their hands knows how hard it is to just wash off. Looks like these umpires have never gotten something sticky on their hands.

I don't get the outrage. First they encourage more home runs in the steroid era, then suddenly that's bad. Then now when pitchers are successful, that's bad. Shouldn't we want the best performances for all talent, help or not? Sheesh!

Baseballs problem is inherent to the game. It's easier to throw a ball than to hit a speeding ball with a stick. You can change the ball and stick to compensate, but you end up in a precarious situation where no one can hit.

LOVE how you called out DOW for being an evil company, twice. Great video

Role model Mad Max Scherzer is showing kids that cheating is lucrative to the tune of $43.33 M per season (he and Verlander are the two highest paid MLB players)!

You know what is funny about his cheating, Someone proved that with just the rosin bag and some sweat, He made something on his hand that was sticky as hell. The funny thing is his own sweat and the bag just literally sitting on the mound is enough to make it. He literally got ejected from substances that the MLB allows, Even the year before baseball players were speaking about how confusing the rules are when one of the sticker substances came from legal source that you play with anyway.

gee...i wonder why cricket balls dont slip out of the bowlers' hands so often...we too use varying forms of grips to induce different spins when the balls bounce

scherzer was litterally using Rosin mixed with his own sweat. Nothing illegal.

so good he doesn’t exist

I mean can it be the that the catcher is doing it and not the pitcher?

here just use dabs, thc im talking its sticky but no too sticky that it acts like glue and if it heats up to much its slick also help push fed legal weed.

MLB umpires got to be the worst officials in any sport.

I think this hits on a particular peculiarity of human behavior: the power of belief. Now that pitchers know those spin rates are achievable, they have a new goal to chase. Whether or not sticky substances are used, they have a new goal, and will work towards it. Cheating or not, it’s going to be the new normal.

I really do not understand how anybody can consider this cheating. I understand why athletes are punished for exchanging their health to get results, but this is not impacting anybodys health. Just learn to hit the fucking ball doing more obnoxious curves than usual and it’s all good.

Democracy means that there is certain liberties a person can take that nobody is allowed to restrict in any way whatsoever. Hence why this rule seems obnoxious. There is no real way of preventing it, and it’s not really unfair either.

Democracy means most people get to decide amongst the sane options. The insane ones are not on the table. And btw. the germans voted for the NSDAP but they would also have gone to prison if they didn’t. I dont dare say they didn’t have a choice, they definitely did, but this had nothing to do with democracy.
