(Metsmerized Online) Vic Carapazza a envoyé Justin Steele à l’abri pour se laver les mains lors d’un contrôle de substance collante. Vic Carapazza a immédiatement expulsé Edwin Díaz lors d’un contrôle de substance collante plus tôt cette année, ce qui a entraîné une suspension de 10 matchs

Per league sources, there have been a few instances where umpires felt something tacky but not sticky (they have been trained on the difference), or where the umpire saw discoloration or dirt without any tackiness. If it’s clearly sticky, especially when it’s extremely sticky like Carapazza said of Díaz’s situation on Sunday, the umpire will go ahead and eject the pitcher. If it’s tacky, or not extremely sticky, then the umpire might ask the pitcher to wash his hands.
> »They’ve been through a lot of this. They check hands all the time, » Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said of MLB umpires. « They felt it was a little too much. As far as [umpires] sending other players to wash their hands, I think coloring has something to do with it. But not as much as the stickiness [has to do with it]. Vic at the time [of Díaz’s ejection] felt like not only the coloring [was too much], but it was a little too sticky there. That’s why he made the decision. And there’s times where there is coloring, but it’s not as sticky, so that’s when they’ll tell pitchers to go wash their hands. »

Umpires “pirates not good the cardinals already get 80 challenges against them so now let’s have the cubs wash their hands literally of cheatin.”

Mets fans still on this lmao
Sounds like they were just being overly cautious, but if they were trying to get Steele ejected, that’s pretty hilarious.
STICKIEST SUBSTANCE HE EVER FELT AND HES BEEN UMPIRING FOR FIVE HUNDRED YEARS.
or something.
sure wish my pitcher had a chance to « wash his hands »
Sad trumpet noises
There really does need to be some sort of agreement on these sticky stuff checks. It can’t be left up to individual umps opinion on what you can wash off and what gets you ejected. It all can’t be the stickiest you’ve ever felt.
lolmets
I’m sorry. Are we outraged that we don’t have umpire consistency in MLB?
Just puke in the glove like Hunter Greene before they can check and problem solved.
