1. Walt Davis Posted: September 14, 2022 at 03:30 PM (#6096101)The umpire says to the catcher "give me that ball right now." The umpire holds the ball in his hand. The ball is sticky. He ejects the pitcher, the catcher, the manager immediately.
Randomly check THE BALL. Do it several times a game. It doesn't matter which of the pitcher or catcher is applying the stuff, eject them both.
All nude baseball. Tastefully done.
Like the pace of play, this is an issue wherein MLB does not actually believe there is a problem; they merely want to be perceived as caring, they don't actually care.
If you don't want the ball moving as much, you can just lower the laces. "Hitters will get killed!" pitchers exclaim. Not with all that body armor they wear, they won't, and besides, a couple weeks of walking the world and pitchers will accept they can't spin the ball the same way anymore and adjust.
Well, Bartolo Colon for example would still have plenty of places to hide sticky stuff...
